But, this is a lie. The import of antibiotics, and almost all other important medicines, are not in any way impacted by Israel’s blockade. As a CAMERA prompted correction at the NY Times noted, “the import of medicine” to Gaza “is not restricted” by Israel.

It’s actually the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority – and not Israel – that’s responsible for the purchase of medicines for Gaza. But, the PA, as part of the sanctions they imposed on Hamas in 2017 related to their ongoing political dispute, often fails to send such vital drugs to Gaza. The PA-imposed sanctions also includes a major reduction in Gaza’s overall healthcare budget, and a frequent refusal to issue permits to Gaza patients to receive medical treatment in Israel, the West Bank and Arab countries.

As the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported earlier in the year, “the escalation in internal Palestinian divisions in March 2017 led to a decline in deliveries from the West Bank and the gradual rise in the percentage of essential medicines at zero stock”. Even the pro-Palestinian NGO Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) blamed the PA for the shortage of medicine and medical supplies.

In fact, even before Fatah’s sanctions against Hamas, the Islamist group was complaining that Ramallah was sending only a small fraction of the medicine to Gaza it was required to send under existing agreements.

“It’s Israel’s fault the Palestinians can’t vote.” That’s an accusation we often hear, especially when Israel pivots to election campaign mode.

Unfortunately, the Palestinians are disenfranchised.

But not by Israel.

The Palestinians have been disenfranchised by their own feuding leaders in Fatah and Hamas. A look at the history shows Egypt and Jordan bear some responsibility too.

So Why Can't the Palestinians Vote? | HonestReporting
 

Pathetic it's like they want to sound ridiculous...
And they're tactically late:

In 2018 there was an increase in aliyah by 5%.
30,000 immigrants.
Israel has the highest birthrate among OECD countries, in fact twice the average.
Arab women have on average 3.11 children, Jewish women have on average 3.16.

Special Note: A/RES/194 (III) 11 December 1948 Title: Palestine Progress Report of the
United Nations Mediator

⁜→ P F Tinmore, Sixties Fan, "rylah, et al,

Back in the day, the diplomatic minds used the phrase: "framework for a durable solution." And in that context, it referred to mediation for the or the refugees [repatriation (return) and recompense for losses (compensation)]. It was not a "Right." It was an outcome of a mediation.


(COMMENT)

First A/RES/194 (III) 11 December 1948 does NOT demand anything of Israel. And even if there were a "demand", A/RES/194 (III) stipulates that:

15. Requests the Secretary-General to provide the necessary staff and facilities and to make appropriate arrangements to provide the necessary funds required in carrying out the terms of the present resolution.
The word "demands" is not used in any manner in the Resolution. The term "rights" is only used once in the context of issues pertaining to Jerusalem.

Second: A/RES/194 (III) 11 December 1948 is NOT International Law, nor does it have an enactment date for when the Resolution would go into force; and the Resolution does not have a date by which some action (any action) must be completed.

◈ International Humanitarian Law - Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV)(1949):

• Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.​

◈ The Law of State Succession,

• The Vienna Convention on the Succession of State in Respect to Treaties (1978), did not enter into force until November 1996.
Article 24 Non-retroactivity (ratione personae) - PART 3 GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW - Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court:
1. No person shall be criminally responsible under this Statute for conduct prior to the
entry into force of the Statute.
2. In the event of a change in the law applicable to a given case prior to a final judgement,
the law more favourable to the person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted
shall apply.​

◈ Human Rights Law (Refugee Law)

Convention relating to the Status of Refugees - Adopted on 28 July 1951 by the United Nations Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Status of Refugees and Stateless Persons convened under General Assembly resolution 429 (V) of 14 December 1950. Entry into force 22 April 1954,

1. Chapter I General Provisions - Article 1. Definition of the term "refugee:"
Para: D. This Convention shall not apply to persons who are at present receiving from organs or agencies of the United Nations other than the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees protection or assistance.

2. Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict, UNRWA was established by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 302 (IV) of 8 December 1949 to carry out direct relief and works programmes for Palestine refugees. The Agency began operations on 1 May 1950.
In the absence of a solution to the Palestine refugee problem, the General Assembly has repeatedly renewed UNRWA's mandate, most recently extending it until 30 June 2020.​

As you can plainly see, there is a fatal flaw in the applicability of the law in each legal citation that Dr Susan Akram begins with. Using Article 49 GCIV deals with the "deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power" ✦→ that is a transfer from "occupied territory" to "occupied territory." That is not the same thing as "sovereign territory" (Israel) to occupied territory (West Bank). Similarly, it is not the same as a transfer from "territory under Mandate control: to "territory under Mandate control." And, you cannot play with this law. Under Article 22 the "crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by analogy."


◈ Article 22 (Nullum crimen sine lege) - PART 3 GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW - Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court:

1. A person shall not be criminally responsible under this Statute unless the conduct in
question constitutes, at the time it takes place, a crime within the jurisdiction of the
Court.
2. The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by
analogy. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the
person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.​

Professor Akram is attempting to apply the principles in the Convention on the Succession of State, which comes into force only in the very last couple of years of the 20th Century ✦→ well after all three major conflicts involving Israel (1948,1967, and 1973). Under Article 24, you cannot retroactively apply a body of law.

Finally, the application of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees is prohibited. The convention cannot be applied to cases in which the UN is already providing Refugee assistance.
(COMMENT)

Yes, this is nonsense. If anything, the UN Commission on Palestine should be charged with being a hazard to the environment. I can't imagine how many trees could have been saved had they not been felled to produce these various ridiculous Resolutions.

While the Saudi Initiative may have merit, the Beirut Declaration on Saudi Peace Initiative (2002) is just another example of a waste of paper. It may even be dangerous in terms of International Legal Principles. The international representation in Beirut is trying to force a square peg in a round hole by trying to convince the world that Resolution 194 (III) has legal force behind it.

  • A 2012 Turkish YouTube video describes the "Islamic University of Europe" as a school "established in 2001 to build an aware and cultivated European Muslim identity in Europe and to promote Islam... and to bring to life the mentality that is 'to serve humanity is to serve Islam.'" Bahçekapılı's lectures are in keeping with this mission. One such lecture glorifies the eighth-century Muslim military invasion of Spain and the establishment there of the Islamic state of Al-Andalus (Andalusia).

  • The school's former rector, professor Ahmet Akgündüz, has called the opponents of Turkish President Erdogan "enemies of Islam," and has stated that stoning people to death is "one of the prescribed punishments within Islam."

  • Europe might wish to look into what is being taught at Islamic schools, particularly those that receive government money.

8-year-old Lebanese chess player: Israel is the enemy
(COMMENT)

The Lebanese are not an ally to anyone. It is a diplomatic-Political Chameleon. So, much of the government, rather than focusing their political vengeance in and around the various domestic rivals, they focused the dissatisfied pent-up anger against Israel (the easy target).
