Document at UNRWA site admits UNRWA's definition of "refugee" is not valid in international lawnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Jun 04:45 AM The UN Like   Tweet   Document at UNRWA site admits UNRWA's definition of "refugee" is not valid in international law noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Jun 04:45 AM The UN Human Rights Council issued a document last week by its reliably anti-Isrsel team of "experts" demanding that Palestinian "refugees" have the right to "return" under international law. Right of return of Palestinian refugees must be prioritised over political considerations: UN experts 2022 marked the largest ever increase in the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide, with over 108 million people across the globe uprooted from their homes, more than half are women and girls.... This reality is all too familiar for the Palestinian people, 75 years since the Nakba - the event that shattered Palestinian lives and severed their ancestral connection to their land during the establishment of the State of Israel. Since then, they have endured forced displacement, dispossession, and disenfranchisement, with their rights to self-determination, restitution, and compensation repeatedly denied. For 75 years, their cry for justice, embodied in the demand for the right to return, has resounded with unwavering determination. For Palestinians, forced displacement has become part of their life for generations, tracing back to 1947-1949 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced to flee massacres and mass expulsions and forcible transfers during the birth of the State of Israel. The majority, along with their descendants, are still in neighbouring Jordan...Read More Arabic media has been calling Israel weak and about to disappear since 1948 noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 25 Jun 02:30 PM You can see daily articles in Arabic-language media about Israel's weakness and imminent demise, often with graphics like the one above. This has been a theme since 1948. The June 23, 1948 Palestine Post has two articles that discuss how Arab claims on the weakness of the new Jewish state spread quickly, even to the West, and how they were all baseless. The first comes from an Australian reporter, Douglas Brass. Note that this was written during the first cease fire of the 1948 war (a cease fire that was repeatedly violated by Egypt and Syrian troops.) The other was in a report from Dorothy Bar Adon, who was a very amusing columnist for the newspaper: This continued through the beginning of the Six Day War with reports of huge Arab victories - such reports...Read More 06/25 Links: David Collier: Three Worlds by Avi Shlaim – a proper review; Iran terror cell in Cyprus that planned attacks against Jews; US: No scientific cooperation beyond Green Line noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 25 Jun 12:00 PM From Ian: David Collier: Three Worlds by Avi Shlaim – a proper review In chapter eight Avi Shlaim finally addresses his core allegations — the bombings in Baghdad and his 'undeniable proof' that 'Zionist agents were responsible for targeting the Jewish community, forcing them to flee Iraq and settle in Israel'. The first bombing of a Jewish target took place on 8 April 1950 (page 126). Shlaim claims that this created a flood and by the end of the month, 25,300 Iraqi Jews had registered to emigrate. We can assume that this incredible rate continued for a while because Shlaim then goes on to say that by the middle of the year (June/July) 'the paced had slowed'. In other words, even if the bombs caused the exodus (which they didn't), then whoever planted that first bomb most certainly was responsible for the momentum behind the exodus. Shlaim clearly says (p141) that those responsible for the first bomb (because it was publicly admitted in 2013) were the Islamist Istiqlal Party which wanted to force Jews to leave Iraq. The group felt that bombing Jewish targets would overcome any Jewish 'hesitancy' vis-avis emigration. In his own words Shlaim 'concludes' that the April 1950 attack was not carried out by Zionists. Avi Shlaim and his evidence Shlaim then turns to his 'evidence'. They are the words of an 88-year-old man (Yaacov Karkoukli) and lots of assumption and hearsay. No academic would regard oral history of this...Read More The horrors of Ramallah's and Gaza's "occupation" in TikTok videos noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 25 Jun 09:40 AM Here is a TikTok video, via the incomparable Imshin, unfortunately not translated, from an Egyptian tourist visiting Ramallah. He's mostly complaining about the high prices of everything from groceries to gasoline, claiming it is the most expensive Arab city in the world, even more than cities in the Gulf. But the luxury he shows is commensurate with the expenses. He features luxury mansions and apartments, the construction constantly going on, and the gorgeous Birzeit University (2:50) as well as the large amount of empty space and breathtaking scenes of the hills surrounding Ramallah. This is luxury that Egyptians only see on TV. And it is all under "occupation." This is a slight detour from Imshin's usual beat of showing "The Gaza You Don't See" such as this video posted also today of a luxury Gaza holiday chalet that can be rented . Somehow, these parts of Ramallah and Gaza City have escaped the attention of the hundreds of western reporters on the scene. You never see these scenes from Reuters, CNN and the New York Times.

The perpetrators, according to reports, were apparently intelligence services linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This, informed sources say, was achieved by coordinated actions and operations of our country's intelligence service, in cooperation with Western partners, believed to be the respective American and Israeli agencies. This is the second such operation, after the arrest, two years ago, of an Azeri with a Russian passport, who also appears to have been acting on behalf of Iran's Revolutionary Guards. In this case, ...a network of terrorists, who seem to make full use of the occupied territories from where they send their recruits to the free areas from places that the Republic of Cyprus does not control. ...Although the main perpetrator escaped the equipment he would have used was located. An official noted to "Filelefthero" that with this development the Republic of Cyprus is sending the message that it shows zero tolerance for such terrorist acts and actions. Furthermore, he declares that no illusions should be created that Cyprus is the weak link due to the "security hole" created by the occupied territories. Two things are clear: Iran planned to attack...Read More    ©2023 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
