Archbishop Tutu Calls Events in Gaza Natural Consequence of Occupation

Geneva --
Archbishop Desmond Tutu agrees the fighting between Hamas and Fatah increasingly looks like civil war. He says he is in despair over these events, but understands why these rival factions are fighting each other.
"When you are oppressed, it is so very easy to turn on yourselves," he said. "At home, we had horrendous instances of internecine conflict. And you would say, for goodness sake, do we not realize that it is, in fact, playing into the hands of those who are abusing us, who are oppressing us."
Archbishop Tutu says it is very difficult for those who have not been un-free to know what oppression and injustice do to people.
Late last year, the U.N. Human Rights Council asked Tutu to head a mission to investigate the killings of 19 civilians in Beit Hanoun, following Israeli military operations on November 8. The Israeli government refused to grant the visas for the Mission to enter Israel.
The report submitted to the Council is based on information gathered from sources outside the territory. It finds the Israeli attacks resulted in grave human rights violations, including loss of life, the destruction of homes, electricity and water.
It calls on Israeli and Palestinian authorities to prosecute people on both sides who attacked civilians in Beit Hanoun and in nearby Israeli towns.
Law professor and member of the mission, Christine Chinkin, says what happened in Beit Hanoun six months ago, feeds into the violence that is occurring now.
"It is important as well that the current focus on the internal violence in Gaza, in particular, does not distract attention from the ongoing human rights violations, such as those relating to health, to the movement of people outside the territories, the ongoing destruction of shelter, the access to social and cultural rights and an adequate standard of living," she said. "I think it is very easy for attention to get deflected away from those extremely important ongoing human rights."
Israel dismisses the report of the high level mission as one-sided and biased. The Israeli position is supported by a Canadian parliament member, Irwin Cotler, who says he turned down an invitation to join the mission, because the mandate violated fundamental principles of justice.
The Israeli government refused to grant the visas for the Mission to enter Israel.

Israel dismisses the report of the high level mission as one-sided and biased.
So acording to the Canuck, the UN Mandate "violated fundamental principles of justice".
And who funds the UN and its' Mandates, other than US.
Who enforces and/or funds missions in support of UN Sanctions and Mandates in Iraq, Darfur and around the Globe, other than US?
The UN sets the US Standard, no Mandate eminating from such a US funded and supported source would have "violated fundamental principles of justice".
Anti-US and anti-UN propaganda, this entire episode.
If the Israeli had allowed Mr Tutu access, they'd have gotten a fair shake, from that "man of God".
By my count the Authorization for Use of Force in Iraq, mentions the United Nations or the Security Council 24 times.
ReplyDeleteIt mentions aQ, once
The Authorization at the White House web site.
We are in Iraq to support the UN and its' World Government of multi-cultural consensus, not chase after aQ.
Proof is in the Authorizations' own words and priorities.
That is the effort that will be most seriously damaged by the Iraqi fiasco, the One, we are the World movement.
Stay the Course!
After a meeting with Desmond Tutu, Ronald Reagan was asked how the meeting with TuTu went. He replied, "Tutu? So, So."
ReplyDeletere: an adequate standard of living
ReplyDeleteNot a single syllable about lawncare damnit!
And to think I believed it would be the EU which blinked first, offering aid to the poor Palestinian people.

Iran is on the march. Amazing what democracy does as it spreads through the region.
ReplyDeletedear desert rat...
ReplyDeleteIsrael never gets a "fair" shake at the UN.
And to simply prove my point:
Israel is the ONLY NATION in the world NOT allowed to serve on the Security Council.
So until the UN recognizes Israel EQUAL right to be as such great nations as cuba, syria, liberia, zimbawe & congo then I'd believe it.
until then SCREW EM

ReplyDeleteThe Iranian Governments' position seems popular with the voters, across the region.
ReplyDeleteOnly those countries without freely elected leadership, like Jordon and Saudi Arabia, and their lap dogs in Lebanon, with their quota system of representation, stand against the Iranians.
Wahabbist Kings and despots standing together against democratic progress, in Palistine, Iraq & Lebanon.
Not the position of my government, thusly, my country, "O".
ReplyDeleteMy country, right or wrong.
We fund and support the UN.
Makes the UN rightous.
Or the US would not fund and support it.
Simple as that.
Support the US, by extention the UN, or stand against the Americas.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!
ReplyDeleteCall your Congressmen and Senators.
Tell them you do not support the Senate's "bipartisan immigration reform bill."
Tell them you will not vote to reelect anyone who ties the issues of border enforcement and legalization together in one bill.
Border enforcement first!
When we as Americans verify over a number of years that this has been done, we can consider plans for those who have lived here illegally for several years.
Some caller reminded us that Scooter would not be facing the slammer had the Admin simply defended itself against Wilson/Plame.
ReplyDeleteThinking of that brought to mind what the true legacy of that pile of human debris in the WH is:
The Bendover Presidency.
Although he seems to enjoy somewhat bending over and taking it in the shorts, what REALLY turns him on is causing others to have to do it, and whenever he arranges for the entire country to have to do so, he is in ecstasy.
Personally, I'd like to observe an RPG go up his ass.
Not to leave out Israel:
ReplyDelete"Candidear, go tell them Joos to take another one for Mo!"
Would it make sense for Egypt to occupy Gaza?
ReplyDeleteNot to the Egyptians.
ReplyDeleteBest thing for them, refortify the wall, where the Fatah folks blew it up while making good their escape.
Defend their own integrity, let the Israeli and the UN worry about the "Occupied Terrortories"

I read of how Iran is responsible, for arms shipments from Eygpt.
ReplyDeleteI read also the Wygpt stands with US, against Iranian political expansion.
How then do the weapons cross Eygpt?
Where is the square rounded.
Eygpt is part of the problem, the home of Doc Z and the Brotherhood.
Another nondemocratic democracy.
Pharoah Mubareck II is about to take the throne. The Brotherhood would win in a free and fair election, or they'd not have to be suppressed.
The Government of the United States, under the leadership of George Walker Bush, AGREES.
The Pharoahs tenure is secure.
The Brotherhood and several human rights groups have accused the government of violations and irregularities during Monday's elections, including barring opposition supporters from entering polling stations and rigging the vote. The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights said observers witnessed attacks on opposition supporters, voters banned from polls and instances of vote-buying.
One person was killed and several others injured in clashes between supporters of rival candidates. Police said authorities arrested 400 Brotherhood members Monday.
However, the election committee statement said all complaints were investigated by judges, and that the elections took place in a calm manner except for minor incidents that did not affect the election process.
A senior Brotherhood member criticized the elections, calling them a "formal procedure" that supports the ruling party of Mubarak, a U.S. ally.
"I don't think that there is a single wise Egyptian who hopes that there will be a free and fair elections under the current ruling government," said Abdel Gelil el-Sharnoubi, the editor of the Brotherhood's Web site.
In Washington, the U.S. State Department said it was troubled by reports of election fraud and coercion. Department spokesman Sean McCormack said reports of undemocratic practices by government agents in Muslim Brotherhood-majority areas were "of deep concern."
"I can assure you the issue of opening up the Egyptian political system is one that we talk to the Egyptian government at the highest levels about," McCormack said.

This year was the first time that the Brotherhood competed in Shura Council elections. Its participation was largely symbolic, aiming to show that the Islamic fundamentalist group remains a force despite an increasing government campaign to drive it out of Egypt's politics.
ReplyDeleteThe Brotherhood has been banned since 1954 but continues to operate with its lawmakers running as independents. The group stunned the government by scoring large victories in 2005 elections for parliament's lower house, winning more than a fifth of the legislative body's seats to become the largest opposition bloc.
Arnold was cool today:
ReplyDeleteHe told the Mexicans they should stop listening to Spanish radio stations, the better to learn English.
Said he spoke very little German when he came here:
Excused them for it being harder for them than for Europeans, since so much spanish is spoken, although he did not go into details like our govt screwing the rest of us and our kids to accomodate the lazy beaners.
WiO: Israel is the ONLY NATION in the world NOT allowed to serve on the Security Council.
ReplyDeleteIn September 2005, Israel announced it was applying for the first time to become a member of the Security Council.
Doug: ...our govt screwing the rest of us and our kids to accomodate the lazy beaners...
ReplyDeleteSeems to this crazy flip that it's the gringos, not the beaners, who are lazy, otherwise the jobs would be filled by whites and there'd be no openings for illegals.
2005, for the first time?
ReplyDeleteNot ALLOWED, prior?
They culd have applied at any time, since '49 could they not have, if the mood struck?
That they did not, indicates a lack of desire to participate, not a refusal to let them play.
Israel certainly participated in other selected UN activities, over those years.
Again, Ms T, you misread the USA. It is the internal underclass that is being put out of their rightful inheritance.
ReplyDeleteThe Blacks, Ms T, the Blacks are the ones being disadvantaged by the migration, much more so than the whites.
One reason why the Northeast elites favor the open border. Keeps the folk down on the streets, maintaining those "client" on the rolls of government assistance.
Gotta have an underclass to "help"
That's cause you are not only a crazy flip, but an ignorant one:
ReplyDeleteRead Tom Sowell's piece titled "fences" I think:
He points out that there are NO jobs that Americans would not be willing to do if you made the pay low enough.
Comprehende?
God bless the UN, I say.
ReplyDeleteIt got us there. And for that we owe it no small debt of gratitude.
Here's the link in case you're a lazy crazy ignorant flip!
ReplyDelete"Where's the Fence?!?"
It should be too obvious for words that decisions about who is to come into the United States and live among Americans should be made in the United States by Americans.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, however, for years that decision has been made in Mexico by Mexicans and by others who chose to cross the border from Mexico into the United States with impunity, knowing that even if they were caught, they would at worst be turned back — and could try again.
Many would not even have to face that. They would be released within the United States, with instructions to report back to the authorities for legal proceedings.
But why should they be expected to obey that legal requirement when they did not obey the law against crossing the border in the first place?
None of these facts is news. Nor is it rocket science to figure out what the consequences have been and will be.
Both political parties know what is going on and both parties choose to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. Neither wants to risk losing the Hispanic vote, though it is doubtful whether all Hispanics are in favor of open borders.
The net result has been empty promises about controlling the border, paired with various schemes to legalize the illegal immigrants, and washed down with fraudulent statements that insult our intelligence.
The first of these frauds is the argument that the economy “needs” illegal immigrants to fill “jobs that Americans won’t take.”
Both parts of this argument ignore the most obvious three-letter word that is left out:
Pay.
Which we will continue to pay, trish, willingly.
ReplyDeleteWith Gusto!, even.
The US pays, others play.
ReplyDeleteWe are the World.
United American States.
Has a certain ring to it, aye?
It's all in the translation, you know.
ReplyDeleteAs VDH points out, not too many of the Eastern Elite Writers and pundits are losing jobs or making less due to illegals, so assholes like gigot can call us xenophobes, since his class is crusing, taking advantage of food prices, nannies, construction, and etc performed at below market wages by illegals.
ReplyDeleteIt's an old game played by elites everywhere:
Blame the victim.
Doesn't mean you have to join them!!!

It'll all come together, wait and see. There was a lot more thought and planning put into unification of the Americas program, much more then was ever put towards Iraq or the Middle East "transformation".
Generations of planning were put into this project. It will not be disrupted by xenophobes and bigots!
ReplyDeleteCertainly not!
Godless heathen that do not understand the hard work involved in saving the soul of the Americas.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe we should put Rummy in charge to transform this beast and bring the damn thing to a halt?
ReplyDeleteyes Trish, you gotta luv the UN as an organization which provides rationale aplenty to be cherry picked as we like. Unfortunately for the feckless you gotta watch out for what ya wish for.
ReplyDeleteFeckless has been replaced by "Bend Over" as GWB's legacy, Ash.
ReplyDeleteThe national group in Phoenix opposes efforts to ‘‘legislate amnesty programs” in favor of building a stronger barrier along the U.S.-Mexican border, according to a news release this week.
ReplyDelete‘‘Until our borders are secured with a physical barrier, we will continue to assume our politicians are rewarding illegal behavior instead of addressing a serious national security concern,” Chris Simcox, Minuteman president, said in a statement. ‘‘We saw the president sign the Secure Fence Act last year and are still waiting to see the government build a fence.”
Some Minuteman members have begun erecting their own fence on private land along the border, the release says. Others will be in Washington, D.C., this weekend to lobby politicians.

Many more to follow.
Despite the fact that Israel is a member of the WEOG, it has been unable to submit its candidacy for temporary membership in the Security Council due to the objection of the Arab and neutral countries.
ReplyDeleteArab countries, however, have permanent Security Council representation; Syria preceded current representative Algeria.
The request to join the Council marks another step by Israel to become an equal member of the U.N. amid the recent improvement in the country’s relations with the organization.
like i said,
Israel has not been allowed to sit on the SC..
will it be permitted in 2018?
dont know, but i do know since 1948 aint allowed
nope israel has been boycotted... since 1948 for the sc...
ReplyDeleteExactly, sam.
ReplyDeleteWrite whatever Bill you wish, it'll be ignored if not with the "Program".
The others were.
Because prior to 86, the Borders were open, or there'd have been no need for an "Amnesty" then.
Violated by design, the letter and spirit of the '86 Reforms.
By Mr Bush 41, Mr Clinton and Mr Bush 43. Plain as that watch on your wrist.
"yes Trish, you gotta luv the UN as an organization which provides rationale aplenty to be cherry picked as we like."

ReplyDeleteWith all the nations on the face of the earth, why is the United States of America the only country in which someone can be united with his family?
ReplyDeleteIllegal immigrants can reunite with their families back where they came from.
The grand fraud of all is the claim that we must have “comprehensive” immigration reform — that is, simultaneously deal with border control and the legal status of illegal immigrants already here.
There is no logical reason why these two issues must be dealt with together, though there are political reasons why elected officials want to do so. Passing border laws described as “tough” gives Congress political cover when they legalize the illegals.
It allows Congress to be on both sides of the issue, which is where most politicians want to be on most issues.
From the standpoint of the country, however, it is urgently important that the two issues be taken up separately, with border control being proven to be established first.
Otherwise, the American people get promises from politicians with a long track record of broken promises, especially on immigration, while illegal immigrants get their benefits up front and irrevocably for themselves and for the additional millions more who will cross the border.
Last year, the sop to the American people was the promise of a fence on the border.
This year, the big question is:
“Where is the fence?”
That will still be the question ten years from now, if we let the politicians soothe us with words.
The one encouraging aspect of the immigration issue is that the combined efforts of the White House and both Houses of Congress, together with most of the media, have thus far failed to turn the immigration fraud into the law of the land.

ReplyDeleteScientists have uncovered a huge surprise in the Inner Mongolia region of northern China: the fossil skeleton of an unusually robust bird-like dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago. The animal appeared to be a young adult 25 feet long and weighing 3,000 pounds and, if it had lived longer, would probably have grown even larger.
Paleontologists said the discovery contradicted widely-held theories that carnivorous dinosaurs got smaller as they evolved more bird-like characteristics. But they emphasized that the new specimen did not challenge the theorized dinosaur-bird link.

What looms ahead is a division between a Fatah-ruled West Bank and a Gaza that is already being called Hamastan. Arafat may be remembered today for his many failings, but the cardinal rule of all his exasperating deceits and maneuvers was to avoid precisely this sundering of the Palestinian national movement.
ReplyDeleteArafat understood that without Palestinian unity there could be no hope of an independent Palestinian state.
The Hamas-Fatah civil war, and the resulting fracture between Gaza and the West Bank, is sure to be used as validation by those Israelis who insist there is no Palestinian partner for peace. Sunni Arab regimes fearful of Iran's influence on Hamas and of their own Islamist movements will find it hard to resist taking sides in the Palestinians' internecine conflict.
