Unbearable conditions for Palestinians by Ulla Jessing

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

Google translation from Danish:

“After the small 50-year occupation there is no prospect of change for the Palestinians,” writes Herbert Pundik Politiken.

He points out that no Palestinian under 65 years will have memories of anything other than a life dominated by soldiers at roadblocks and arrests.

Many have spent years in Israeli prisons, often without trial, and many children suffer in prisons.

But after Pundik view there is no prospect of change, therefore spreading knivstikker epidemic from day to day.

The German newspaper Der Spiegel writes on the same subject and think it’s a vicious cycle of radicalization.

Many Israelis carry weapons and go away at Palestinian with knives. And young Israelis walk through the streets, shouting: “Death to the Arabs”. They also set fire to mosques.

After nearly 50 years of occupation and years of political stagnation without genuine peace negotiations, has now created a situation where distrust and hatred and revenge dominate.

Especially in Gaza, the situation is intolerable. The country is in ruins and the population is suffering terribly during the Israeli blockade.

Life has become intolerable for young and old. One can only call the situation genocide.

But what makes the United States and other Western countries that call themselves democracies, in this terrible situation?

Prime Minister Netanyahu can sleep peacefully and continue his menneskefjenske policy because the United States continues to talk about the need to protect Israel.

But if the US and the EU do not soon prevent Israel from continuing its policy of war against Palestine, it is not enough that the Palestinian flag hangs at the United Nations. There must act to stop the occupation.

The Israelis must leave the Palestinian territory. The settlers must leave the land they have stolen from Palestinian farmers.

Otherwise one must expect that the Palestinians are going really crazy.

No people can be suppressed all the time.

Begår Israel folkedrab i Gaza? / Is Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza by Yonatan Ungermann Goldshtein

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

The following is a Google translation of the complete article

Israel commits genocide in Gaza?

BY YONATAN UNGERMANN GOLDSHTEIN

91% of children in Gaza report seeing mutilated bodies lie in the streets. I read that the other day in a report on the psychological trauma among children in Gaza. The report was from 2009, I think. After last summer’s war, it is reported that over 300,000 children in need of urgent psychological help.

These are children who do not have the desire to live or to eat. Children who are traumatized to such an extent, that they have lost the language. Children who after a traumatic experience suffer from extremely aggressive behavior and sudden collapse. These children are the future of Gaza and products of political choices made by Israelis.

While still reported more injured and killed in the West Bank, where I am, I send a thought to Gaza, where the total destruction of people’s lives, has reached an incredible level. Over 2000 people were killed, over 500 of them were children. Hundreds of thousands lost their homes due to the Israeli blockade is not a house yet been rebuilt, and people kept continuing to starvation, since Israel does not let the food into the UN and humanitarian organizations believe should be let in.

80% of the population survives only on relief and 6 out of 10 households are not sure when they can get food on the table.

UN report that they expect that Gaza will be uninhabitable in 2020. It is about 5 years. Mind you, if we assume that Israel does not choose to carry out another attack on Gaza.

In the case of a genocide of Gaza’s Palestinian population? Under the UN Genocide Convention is the genocide, when at least one of, inter alia, the following acts committed with intent wholly or partially destroying one of a group:

  • killing members of the group,
  • to members of the group serious bodily or mental harm,
  • deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about the group’s total or partial physical destruction.

Members of Gazans are demonstrably killed Gazans are psychologically destroyed and according to the UN is the prison that Gaza is no longer to live for five years. So there is no doubt that Israel’s treatment of Gaza on the “objective factors” meets the necessary rights violations that it can be described as genocide.

But to some counts as genocide, there must demonstrably be intent on genocide from the executive party. During the war on Gaza last year were members of the government out and argue that Gazans were killed, whether it was Gaza mothers or children of Gaza. People walked through the streets of Israel under the slogan, kill Arabs, and I even saw how the Palestinians were beaten up in the street while police looked at, and only occasionally intervened.

If you’re concerned about what we see unfolding in Gaza in front of a silent world, is a genocide, so the initiative “Israeli Genocide?” To press for an investigation. Go to this site and sign: http://israelgenocide.com/take-action/

Every time a sign, will be sent a letter to the UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, which calls for an investigation into whether Israel committing genocide against the Palestinian people
