Palestinians threaten to sue Israel over settlements

JERUSALEM, October 31, 2013 (AFP) - "Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki on Thursday denounced Israeli plans to build hundreds of new settler homes in east Jerusalem, threatening to pursue international legal action in response. Israel announced on Wednesday it would build 1,500 new settler homes in the mostly Arab sector of Jerusalem, immediately after the Jewish state released 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners in line with its commitments to US-backed peace talks. "The foreign ministry is seriously looking at turning immediately to international courts and organisations, and filing the necessary complaints in order to stop settlement building," Malki said. He condemned "plans approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for settlement building, and Netanyahu's attempts to link the settlement issue with the prisoners issue." PLO chiefs convened later on Thursday in Ramallah, in a session chaired by president Mahmud Abbas. "The Palestinian leadership will take a number of steps in the next few days to face the settlement offensive," the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive said after the meeting. A senior Palestinian official denied reports that Palestinian negotiators would resign in protest at the latest Israeli move.

The latest round of release and building plans was almost a mirror image of August 13, when a first tranche of 26 prisoners were freed and Israel announced construction of more than 2,000 new settler homes, mostly in east Jerusalem. The Palestinians agreed to refrain from pursuing legal action against Israel during ongoing peace talks, but have repeatedly warned that continued settlement building would force them to recourse to the International Criminal Court and other international bodies. The settlement issue derailed the last round of peace talks in 2010. "

It certainly is time for Palestinians to take these illegal settlement war crimes to the ICC.

how fascinating I read "THE DIVINE COMEDY" by dante----when I was about 14.
it is the HELL/PURGATORY/HEAVEN model-----for the catholic church of medieval
times. It was fascinating. Later on I became introduced to all other sorts of
models for "the hereafter" ----the hindu NIRVANA ----a kind of amorphous
universal conciousness-----like billions of souls suspended in a giant cosmic
JELLO MOLD OF BLISS. The jewish model of eternity-----is a bit dull----
it seems to consist of some sort of eternal philosophical debate about the
ETERNAL COSMOS -------best of all is the isa/allah model--------sex
and food--------and down there-----all those who refused to suck up to the
rapist pig-----screaming in eternal torture

Dante's INFERNO was no fun-----but at least it was interesting----and did not
really involve constant torture

I wonder to which "HELL" sherri refers------the one of dante---in which
muhummad stays with his entrails hanging outside his body and his ----
POSTERIOR HIND QUARTERS ARE LIKE AN EVER NOXIOUS EMITTING
TRUMPET???

If hell exist,

Save settlers a seat​

[MENTION=39618]proudveteran06[/MENTION] it's about the 10th post down 1,859 new settlement homes.

 

[Kondor3]

So what if the Palestinians sue in an international court?

So what if they win in such a venue?

The Israeli government would simply take any-such court decree and use it to supplement the supply of toilet paper in some bureaucratic office or another.

"Mister Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."

(apochryphally attributed to US President Andrew Jackson)

 

[Kondor3]

"Some day, there shall be justice for all Israeli war criminals..."

Is Israel at-war with somebody? I must've missed the memo.

"...I expect there is a special place in Hell wating for all of the illegal settler war criminals.."

A mother and father and a couple of children moving into a house or apartment built upon newly re-taken and re-tasked land, hardly constitutes a War Crime; especially if one is not at war.

UN Press Release that links to UN Report addressing illegalities of settlements

Israeli settlements symbolise the acute lack of justice experienced by the Palestinian people

Geneva, 31 January 2013*– The International Fact-Finding Mission on Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory today published its findings on the implications Israeli settlements have upon the human rights of the Palestinian people.The report states that a multitude of the human rights of the Palestinians are violated in various forms and ways due to the existence of the settlements.These violations are all interrelated, forming part of an overall pattern of breaches that are characterised principally by the denial of the right to self-determination and systemic discrimination against the Palestinian people which occur on a daily basis.Since 1967, Israeli governments have openly led, directly participated in, and had full control of the planning, construction, development, consolidation and encouragement of settlements, the report states.“In compliance with Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention Israel must cease all settlement activities without preconditions,”*said Ms. Christine Chanet, chair of the Mission from France.The report states that settlements are established and developed for the exclusive benefit of Israeli Jews. The settlements are maintained and advanced through a system of total segregation between the settlers and the rest of the population living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This system of segregation is supported and facilitated by strict military and law enforcement control to the detriment of the rights of the Palestinian population.“We are today calling on the government of Israel to ensure full accountability for all violations, put an end to the policy of impunity and to ensure justice for all victims,”*said*Ms. Asma Jahangir, member of the Mission from Pakistan.The report states that Israel is committing serious breaches of its obligations under the right to self-determination and under humanitarian law. The report also concludes that the Rome Statute establishes the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction over the transfer of populations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.“The magnitude of violations relating to Israel’s policies of dispossessions, evictions, demolitions and displacements from land shows the widespread nature of these breaches of human rights. The motivation behind violence and intimidation against the Palestinians and their properties is to drive the local populations away from their lands, allowing the settlements to expand,”*said Ms. Unity Dow, member of the Mission from Botswana.The report states that private entities have also enabled, facilitated and profited from the construction of the settlements – both directly and indirectly.

The Palestinians are Jordanian citizens. Why did they not remove to Jordan once the Jordanians attacked the Israelis in 1967 and got their backsides kicked and lost the land through defeat on the battlefield?

I don't see how this addresses either (1) my observation that no war is underway nor (2) the culpability (or lack thereof) of the families housed on those former Palestinian lands.

The full UN report calls the settlements war crimes.

You do not have to have a war to have a war crime, you simply have to have conduct that constitutes war crimes under provisions in The Fourth Geneva Convention (to include its Protocols).

"...The full UN report calls the settlements war crimes..."

That's nice.

I could call my Aunt 'Martha', but her name is 'Mary'.

Them labeling it as war-crime does not automatically render it thus.

"...You do not have to have a war to have a war crime, you simply have to have conduct that constitutes war crimes under provisions in The Fourth Geneva Convention (to include its Protocols)."

You do not have to have a war to have a war crime?

Webster's Dictionary leads most folks to believe differently:

war crime noun : an act committed during a war that violates international law usually because it is cruel, unfair, etc.
