Lawsuit against Israeli Officials via Spanish National Court

The Spanish National Court begun assessing charges brought against former Israeli authorities by a Palestinian human rights group in June 2008. Judge Fernando Andreu evaluated the case and decide to investigate the War Crimes committed by those Israeli.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) had filed a lawsuit against former Israeli defense minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer and other high-ranking officials for approving the military operations in 2002. On July 22, 2002, Israel dropped a one-ton bomb over the 4 story building in the Gaza Strip and assassinated Salah Shehadeh (one of "celebrity" leader of the Hamas). Thus killed Salah Shehada and seventeen civilians, including his wife, his daughter, his guard, eight children (including a 2-month infant), two elderly men and two women. This bom also inflict injury to seventy seven people in al-Daraj neighborhood, eleven houses were completely destroyed and thirty two houses damaged. The list submitted by the PCHR also included Ben-Eliezer's former military advisor Michael Herzog, former chief of staff Moshe Ya'alon and former air force commander Dan Halutz.

In response to the news, the Israeli defense minister has vowed to halt a Spanish probe into the alleged war crimes of former Israeli military officials. Ehud Barak said he would do everything in his power to block an inquiry against former Israeli defense minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer and six other officials. "The minister intends to fight vigorously against the accusations in Spain and do everything possible to get the investigation dismissed," reads the statement.


Here is how the then IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon described the operation and execution:
[Shehada] clung to the civilian population because he understood our sensitivities. In quite a few cases, we avoided attacking him because his wife was with him, or his daughters. Shehadeh had six daughters. More recently, we made things easier for ourselves and said that even if his wife is with him, we will attack him. Moreover, a discussion began about whether it would not be right to attack him even if his daughters were with him. But we made a decision against that. We decided that we would not harm his daughters.

On the Saturday evening before the attack, we held a discussion. It was clear to us that in order to knock down the building, we would need a ton [of explosives], and the question was whether we would use one bomb of a ton or two of half a ton. Our experience was of dropping 160 bombs in the Palestinian arena without a single innocent civilian being killed, but the concern was that two bombs raised the statistical risk of a miss.

So I sent the air force to do its homework and they came back to me with the answer that a one-ton bomb was more certain. The assessment was that the result would be the destruction of Shehadeh's house and damage to the empty neighboring building, and shattered windows in the area and tin siding that would be sent flying from the tin shacks. People wounded, not killed. In retrospect, though, it turned out that the neighboring house was not empty. The execution of the air force was perfect, but the intelligence gap in regard to the neighboring house caused a hitch. Six children were killed in that house.

The Israeli then Prime Minister Sharon considered the air strike a great success . Officials statements says that they regretted the loss of civilian lives but pointed out that Shehada was responsible for those deaths since he routinely positioned himself among innocents. Rather than set up a military camp, Shehada hid among civilians in order to make it more difficult for Israel to target him. They futher put the weight that the practice is expressly forbidden by international law and that law further holds the party who involves the civilians responsible for their casualties, not the attacker.
Well using the same analogy, if ay Iraqi people decided to assassinate Bush al Dubya (of illegal fame war in Iraq) in the restaurant where he dine or the hotel that he stay and cause many civilian casualties. Could we blame put the blame on this lame duck Dubya, 'cause he routinely positioned himself in civilian restaurant, civilian hotel and any other public places? The same also goes to says, if anybody tries to assinated Sharon himself or anybody on that stature by crook, and inflict many casualties in the proceses, perhap Sharon would like to calm down the relative of the decease to blame him instead and spare the attacker. Reality take precedence eh mister??

BTW, similar cases have previously been filed in Israeli courts, but the reason, rights and justice never serve for those occupied people.
Truth, justice and the Israeli way!

The Zionist regime make a move to protect their soldiers from war crime

The Zionist's government of Israel is about to approve a bill to grant aid and support to their zionist soldiers which at the brim of suits for the war crimes in Gaza. It's more likely that this soldiers will face law suits against the used of the Phosphorus weapons again civilian, or at least somebody must be held responsible for such actions.

The bill, titled "strengthening the IDF's hand after Operation Cast Lead", was put forward by none other than Defense Minister Ehud Barak himself, with some coordination with the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Justice and State Prosecutor. According to Barak, "the government carries the responsibility for sending IDF soldiers on military operations and as a result is obligated to grant them complete support against any possible harm to them stemming from those operations."
Barak said "I do not know of any army that operates at the high standards that the IDF operates," "There is no place for an automatic backlash following every operation." Barak claim that the zionist army behaved according to its high moral values during Cast Lead. "As an army which is unsurpassed in its moral traditions, the IDF has done all that it can in order to adhere to international law, in order to avoid harming civilians who are not involved in fighting," Barak said, he adding some more to such moral principles by saying "have not always been enough to prevent tragedies from happening." 

Well mister, unfortunately records from score of human rights body base in Palestinian and Israel state the otherwise. Palestinians, Jewish as well as the International Human Right body agree about this. There is awfully lots of them inside occupied region and in the matters of facts the occupied region is the most watch area in the world.
for the past 30 year the International community has came to broad consensus to solve the issue namely the 2 state settlement. Two state settlement mean that Israel has to fully withdraw from territory it occupy in 1967 war. This mean they need to withdraw from the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. This is the International law. Its not admissible to acquire territory by war. That what the world court said. This is what written in the in the United Nation charter. Go and read it before you guy(s) slam me ok. This is the fundamental principal of article 2 in the United nation charter. what about the International Court of justice decision on the wall that Israeli built around the occupied territory? what about that? well in july 2007 International Court of justice landed adversary opinion that the wall is illegal under international law, that Israeli is legally bound to remove it all and paid compensation to the damage due to teh construction and those involved.

So now this funny minister of zionist Israel talking about adhere to international law and yet ignore many of UN resolutions pertinent to their occupation! It's the same set of International law that Israeli claim that are bound to. or perhaps they have the privilege to chose whichever that suit their liking only. While at the same time ignore the rests, with the blessing of the United State of America of course! Israel only quote international law as it deem fit to to serve their purpose yet deprive the same law for the palestinians people. That what I see as far as I remember. 


So enough with that, so let get back to the issue at hand. So when the news paper run the articles about the Israeli WP. The IDF spokesman quickly (as always) denied the use of phosphorus and said that Israel was using only the weapons that were allowed under international law. 

But photographic evidence as well as the video clips has emerged and proves that Israel has been using this white phosphorus weapon during its offensive in Gaza. There is many evidence that the phosphorus weapon have injured Palestinian civilians, the dead may not speak about it but surely one can see the horrifies burn mark on them. Some of the victim is still pretty much alive at this time of writing, hence could tell the world how they felt having part of their body burned out. And many more who's lucky enough doesn't caught in fire can always tell the horror story about the sadistic events. People like Sabah Abu Halima who's suffered terrible burns on her arms, legs and torso can tell you such terribly experience: "There was fire, and so much white smoke". "The missile melted my children. My daughter-in-law melted in front of my eyes." This is publish in BBC News, you can go and read more over here.


But then rows of M825A1 white phosphorus (WP) shells were photographed on the Israel De fence Forces artillery units on the side of the Israel-Gaza border. The Times has identified stockpiles of white phosphorus (WP) shells from high-resolution images. Confronted with this latest evidence, an IDF spokeswoman suddenly change the tone of her statement and insisted that the M825A1 shell was not a WP type. “This is what we call a quiet shell - it is empty, it has no explosives and no white phosphorus. 

she said There is nothing inside it, We shoot it to mark the target before we launch a real shell. And reiterate that Israel was using only the weapons that were allowed under international law. 


yeah right! Like that we don't know that this pale blue M825A1 WP munitions made in USA and heavily used in Fallujah. If I was the reporter I would ask ask her, if we could shoot her with the so call empty shell and let see if it could burn her kind pussy(of course I mean the cat) out of her sorry ass. I hate this saddo lunatic of uncharacteristic being.Darn! 

Of course the Israeli's spokesman/woman will quickly deny it such as; nooo! those are not white phosphorus burn, we have not used white phosphorus in this war, hamas did! while lookin at you in the eyes.

Typical Israeli government statements I must say.

This is nothing to shock about, for those of you who is new to this area, Israel has a very poor reputation for telling the truth. In 1982, it denied using phosphorous munitions on civilian areas in Lebanon, not until journalists discovered dying and dead civilians whose with a strange burn and the wounds caught fire when exposed to air. Some even have the "privileged of it kind" to witness the nature and characteristic of WP when 2 dead babies who, when taken out from a mortuary drawer in West Beirut during the Israeli siege of the city suddenly burst back into flames! Lebanese hospitals fill to the brim with patients with burn wounds consistent with phosphorous munitions.Then a bit latter, Israel suddenly admitted that it had not been telling the truth. Jacob Edery, the Israeli minister in charge of government-parliament relations, confirmed that phosphorous shells were used in direct attacks against Hizbollah, adding that "according to international law, the use of phosphorous munitions is authorized and the (Israeli) army keeps to the rules of international norms".

What law? So don't you see, It the same arguments, The Zionist just dish out the same reasons over and over again. It's a standard reply. perhaps they just changed the date and there rest is the same all same.  The shell is not defined as an incendiary weapon by the Third Protocol in the Convention on Conventional Weapons because its principal use is to produce smoke to protect troops. We know that the white phosphorus is a weapon intended to provide a smokescreen for troop movements(as an obscurant/smoke screen) on the battlefield. But the use of white phosphorous as a weapon other than that, is banned by the Third Convention on Conventional Weapons which covers the use of incendiary devices. Though Israel(and their big brother the US) is not a signatory to the convention, its military manuals reflect the restrictions on its use.

The nature of white phosphorous as highly incendiary effect in such that it should never be used on civilian areas, is clear define in the international convention on the use of incendiary weapons. It should not be used where there is a possibility of hitting civilians. So looking at a densely populated Gaza Strip, one of the most dense area in the world. You just cannot shoot above their head and expect none of it hit them. That is insane. This is no Viet Cong in dense jungle that the US burn them alive with infamous napalm! This is no vietnam. There are 1.5 million Palestinians pack and squeezed in this small occupied territory. How does one think is does hit civilians? Unless if it was their goal to hit any Palestinians. 


As the passing of such bill is not enough, the Israeli military censor is applying strict restrictions preventing the media from identifying soldiers who participated in the Gaza Strip offensive and all information about them that may be used in legal proceedings against them in international court abroad.

So yess they are afraid, they are very afraid I must say. I can't help but see the growing concern (read:fear) linger at the core of zionist supreme regime. With the Strengthening the IDF's Hand after Operation Cast Lead bill plus the censorm it clear they did everthing they can to protect the murderer and their cohort. Hide as much as you could but the evidence of this blantant atrocity is abundance and widely acknowledge and there is no doubts about it. Hence, only time will tell if the mighty Jewish power lobby could do their magic this time 

Arab League summit on Gaza not enough quorum still! shame on you Arab World

Qatar has call for an emergency Arab League summit to discuss the situation in Gaza but not many other countries have so far agreed. Qatar's PM, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem said it was urgent that Arab leaders meet because of Israel rejects of UN resolution 1860. He consider that the situation in Gaza makes urgent to hold a special meeting. Perhap It was't show up in local MSN, but the fact is many of Qatar's initiative to hold the emergency summit since the Israel's offensive in Gaza has going nowhere. The request has been postponed every time due to different view points of Arab leaders.

After many request from Qatar, only thirteen countries have given their acceptance, still not enough quorum. Therefore they cannot hold the meeting, so none of whatsover declaration about the massacre of woman and childrens in Gaza will be surface just yet. What made them so hesitate? What more urgent thing then the dying palestinian on the hand of brutal and ruthless Israeli advanced and their illigal weaponry.

What are you waiting for? A green light from Obama? Your political master?
Even Venezuela together with Bolivia kicked out the Israeli ambassadors out of their countries on grounds of the crimes against humanity that were committed in Gaza, while Israeli Ambassdors busy packing in those country, their conterpart in the Arabian world still enjoy reading the news and perhap crack a joke along the way....

BLOODY HELL..

Not that I expect much from those Arab Muslim leaders anyway. But just to convene the summit they faced too much difficulties left alone to agree about the outcome.

This is pathetic of the highes order!

United Nations High Commissioner Calling for Gaza's War Crimes probe

Navi Pillay, a United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called for an independent investigation into possible war crimes committed by Israeli's in Gaza. She specifically referred to the killing of 30 Palestinian civilians in a home in central Gaza that was shelled by Israeli forces.

"I am concerned with violations of international law. Incidents such as this must be investigated because they display elements of what could constitute war crimes," Pillay, told Reuters.

"There is an international obligation on the part of soldiers in their position to protect civilians, not to kill civilians indiscriminately in the first place, and when they do to make sure that they help the wounded," Pillay said. "In this particular case these children were helpless and the soldiers were close by," she said.

Speaking earlier to a special session of the UN Human Rights Council held on the Gaza crisis, Pillay had said that Israel should be held accountable for any violations of international law.

Pillay continued by noting that a large number of people, including children, had been killed or wounded in "Israel's totally unacceptable strikes" against clearly marked UN facilities sheltering Gaza civilians.

The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1860 calling for an immediate cease-fire in the 14-day-old conflict and a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza but Israel rejected the resolution and continued its offensive on Friday.

Thousands of left-wing activists arrived at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv Saturday night to protest against the Gaza war. The protesters were marching in the streets and carrying flags reading "Stop the fire" and "Children in Gaza and Sderot wish to live."

Knesset members Dov Khenin (Hadash) and Ahmad Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) were among the political figures who attended the rally.

I came here to demonstrate along with thousands of citizens in Tel Aviv and all across the country, Jews and Arabs alike, who are calling to stop this war, which is a disaster. It hasn't solved the security problems in the south, and nothing good will come out of it," Khenin told Ynet. 

"We came here to demand an end to the war, an agreement on a ceasefire, the opening of the border crossings and a prisoner exchange deal," he said. "This will be the outcome anyway, and no unnecessary blood should be spilled in the meantime." 
 
Tibi added that "eventually there will be diplomatic negotiations on a truce, so why carry on with this phase of the war?" 

The demonstrators chanted "Defense Minister Barak, how many children have you murdered today?" 
Hundreds of right-wing activists who demonstrated opposite the leftists in support of the IDF's ground incursion in Gaza chanted "You are the cancer of this country". 
 
Likud MK Gilad Erdan, who took part in the rightists' protest, said the High Court erred in its decision to allow protesters to "wave enemy flags while Israel is at war."

Comment:
Not all Jews subscribe to the Zionist's indoctrinate wars toward the Palestine people. But it very unfortunate that this group doest doesnt hold much weightin the knesset hagedolah (great assembly), which 120 members will be choose to represent The Knesset (the parliament of the State of Israel). They are not alone though,  the Iranian Jew share the same idea of peace and opose war, killing and unjustifiable toward the long oppress and suffering palastinian.

The public outcry are more visible than in the past, perhap they had learn the lesson from the last war in Lebanon.

Hamas Rockets Put Israel's Nuclear Facility in Battle Zone

 Friday, January 02, 2009 

Rocket attacks from Gaza have forced Israelis to flee in ever greater numbers, escalating the belief among Israel's military chiefs that Hamas missiles could threaten the nation's top secret nuclear facility at Dimona.
Israeli officials say that Hamas has acquired dozens of Iranian-made Fajr-3 missiles and with it, an even longer range than previously seen. Many fear that as the group acquires ever more sophisticated weaponry it is only a matter of time before the nuclear installation at Dimona, 20 miles east of Beersheba, falls within its sights.

Dimona houses Israel’s only nuclear reactor and is believed to be where nuclear warheads are stored.

Israeli officials allowed dozens of Palestinian holders of foreign passports to flee the fighting in the Gaza Strip on Friday.

Army spokesman Peter Lerner says nearly 300 Palestinians poured through the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing Friday morning. The Palestinians hold citizenship from a number of other countries, including the U.S., Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan.

On Thursday an Israeli warplane dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on the home of one of Hamas' top five decision-makers, instantly killing him and 18 others, while the Israeli army said troops massed on the Gaza border were ready for any order to invade.

The airstrike on Nizar Rayan was the first that succeeded in killing a member of Hamas' highest echelon since Israel began its offensive Saturday. The 49-year-old professor of Islamic law was known for personally participating in clashes with Israeli forces and for sending one of his sons on a 2001 suicide mission that killed two Israelis.

The attacks continued Friday. Before dawn, Israeli aircraft hit 15 houses belonging to Hamas militants, Palestinians said. They said the Israelis either warned nearby residents by phone or fired a warning missile to reduce civilian casualties. Twelve people were hurt in the attacks, hospital officials said.

Even as it pursued its bombing campaign, Israel kept the way open for intense efforts by leaders in the Middle East and Europe to arrange a cease-fire. Israel said it would consider a halt to fighting if international monitors were brought in to track compliance with any truce.

Adding to the urgency of the diplomatic maneuvering, the Israeli military said its preparations for a possible ground assault were complete and that troops stood ready to cross the border if the air operation to stamp out Hamas rocket fire needed to be expanded.

Soldiers massed along the Gaza frontier said they were eager to join the fight, and some even cheered as they heard thunderous airstrikes in the distance.

The hit on Rayan's home obliterated the four-story apartment building and peeled off the walls of others around it, creating a field of rubble in the crowded town of Jebaliya in the northern Gaza Strip. Mounds of debris thrown up by the blast swallowed up cars.

Eighteen other people, including all four of Rayan's wives and nine of his 12 children, also were killed, Palestinian health officials said. A man cradled the burned, limp body of a child he pulled from the rubble.

The house was one of five bombed Thursday, among more than 20 targets altogether. Warplanes shredded the houses, taking off walls and roofs and leaving behind eerie, dollhouse-like views into rooms that still contained furniture.

Israel's military, which has said the homes of Hamas leaders are being used to store missiles and other weapons, said the attack on Rayan's house triggered secondary explosions from the arms stockpiled there.

Seven other Palestinians were killed in airstrikes Thursday and one died of earlier injuries.

Israel has targeted Hamas leaders many times in the past, and the current leadership went into hiding at the start of the offensive. Rayan, however, was known for openly defying Israel and in the past had led crowds to the homes of wanted Hamas figures — as if daring Israel to strike and risk the lives of civilians.

Residents said he openly went to a nearby mosque Thursday morning to pray.

In his last interview, recorded with Hamas TV on Wednesday, Rayan was as defiant as ever about confronting the Israeli military.

"Oh fighters, know that you will be victorious," he said. "God promises us either victory or martyrdom. God is greater than they are, God is greater than their planes, God is greater than their rockets."

The military said it had information that there was a tunnel beneath Rayan's home for use as an escape route.

Israel seemed determined to press ahead with airstrikes on Hamas houses. It also has been targeting buildings used by the territory's Hamas government — emptied days ago by evacuations — as well as rocket-launching sites and smuggling tunnels along the border with Egypt.

"We are trying to hit everybody who is a leader of the organization, and today we hit one of their leaders," Israeli Vice Premier Haim Ramon said in a television interview.

More than 400 Gazans had been killed and some 1,700 wounded since Israel embarked on its aerial campaign, Gaza health officials said. The United Nations has said the death toll includes more than 60 civilians, 34 of them children.

One of them, 11-year-old Ismail Hamdan, was buried Thursday after dying of wounds suffered from an airstrike Tuesday that killed two of his sisters, Haya, 4, and Lama, 12. His body was wrapped in a Palestinian flag and his battered face was still bandaged as he was carried above a crowd of mourners.

Since Saturday, three Israeli civilians and one soldier have also died in rocket attacks that have reached deeper into Israel than ever before, bringing more than a tenth of Israel's population of 7 million within rocket range.

The bombing campaign has worsened an already hard life for Gaza's mostly poor population of 1.5 million. On Thursday, hundreds of people stood in long, snaking lines across the territory waiting to buy bread.

Israel launched the offensive Saturday after more than a week of intense Palestinian rocket fire that followed the expiration of a six-month truce, which Hamas refused to extend because Israel kept up its blockade of Gaza.

So far, the campaign has been conducted largely from the air. But a military spokeswoman, Maj. Avital Leibovich, said preparations for a ground operation were complete.

"The infantry, the artillery and other forces are ready. They're around the Gaza Strip, waiting for any calls to go inside," Leibovich said.

Thousands of soldiers waited along the border, resting among tanks, armored personnel carriers and howitzers. The troops watched warplanes and attack helicopters flying into Gaza, cheering each time they heard the explosion of an airstrike.

One soldier, who can be identified under military rules only as Sgt. Yaniv, said he was eager to go in. "I am going crazy here watching all this. I want to do my part as well," he said.

Hamas promised to put up a fight if Israeli land forces invaded.

Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and many other Western nations. From 2000 to 2004, Hamas was responsible for killing nearly 400 Israelis and wounding more than 2,000 in 425 attacks, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

From 2001 through May 2008, Hamas launched more than 3,000 Qassam rockets and 2,500 mortar attacks against Israeli targets.

"We are waiting for you to enter Gaza to kill you or make you into Schalits," the group said, referring to Israeli Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was captured in a cross-border raid by Hamas-affiliated militants 2 1/2 years ago and remains in captivity in Gaza.

Israel's bruising campaign has not deterred Hamas from assaulting Israel. According to the military, militants fired more than 30 rockets into southern Israel during the day.

No injuries were reported, but an eight-story apartment building in Ashdod, 23 miles from Gaza, was hit. Panicked residents ran through a debris-strewn street.

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rebuffed a French proposal for a two-day suspension of hostilities to allow for the delivery of humanitarian supplies. Israel has been allowing trucked relief supplies to enter Gaza. Ninety aid trucks crossed the border Thursday.

Still, Olmert seemed to be looking for a diplomatic way out, telling Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other world leaders that Israel would accept a truce only if international monitors took responsibility for enforcing it, government officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential.

A Turkish truce proposal included a call for such monitors.

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, speaking to reporters during a visit to Paris for meetings with French officials, expressed skepticism about the benefits of a cease-fire. She said Hamas used the lull during the six-month truce that expired last month to build up its arsenal of weapons.

"Our experience from the past is that even when we accept something in order to have a peaceful period of time, they abuse it in order to get stronger and to attack Israel later on," Livni said.

Egypt's foreign minister said Hamas must ensure that rocket fire stops in any truce deal, and he criticized the Palestinian militants for giving Israel an "opportunity on a golden platter" to launch the offensive.

Gaza has been under Hamas rule since the group's fighters overran it in June 2007. The West Bank has remained under the control of moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been negotiating peace with Israel for more than a year but has no influence over Hamas. Bringing in truce monitors would require cooperation between the fiercely antagonistic Palestinian factions.

An Abbas confidant said the Palestinian president supported the notion of international involvement. "We are asking for a cease-fire and an international presence to monitor Israel's commitment to it," Nabil Abu Rdeneh said.

World leaders have not been deterred by the initial rejections by Israel and Hamas of truce efforts, and next week French President Nicolas Sarkozy plans a whirlwind trip around the region.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Comment: Hamas had been using the Qassams rockets as long as I can remember. This rockets are cobbled together in a rudimentary from a different parts smuggled from the outside.

Its only effective on short-range up to 1.8 miles. Very short indeed. Unlike the Israeli possesion, this rockets is very simple, it don't have any sophisticated guidance/targeting systems, infact there have none at all. This of course contributed toward it poor performances and less infective unless it ben used in a populated area. Sort of trowing stone with a blind eyes hopping to hit somebody so to speak. What a trully reminiscence of Palestinian people throwing stone on the street at the full heavily armor Israel army.

The Fajr-3 rocket is an Iranian multiple-launch artillery rocket which carries a 45-kilogram warhead. With the ranges about 75–80 kilometres efectively can reach the Dimona nuclear facilities, 20 miles away. There were growing fears in Israel that this missiles could bring catastrophe to the complex.

Well I this type of rocket wont bring no harm to the reactor. It may damage the fasilities surrounding the buildings but not the re-enforced harden reactor building. If it ever pass multi layers of USA made and Israel own anti missile system.

Iranian Jews protest Gaza slaughter

Jerusalem post,Dec 30, 2008 20:55
Different groups representing Iran's Jewish community on Tuesday gathered in front of the United Nations office in Teheran in order to protest "Israeli war crimes and the slaughter of the innocent people in Gaza Strip," the Iranian IRNA news agency reported.

The protesters, led by the Jewish representative in Parliament, Siamak Mara-Sedq, carried placards with anti-Israel slogans in both Farsi and Hebrew, the report said. 

"We are here to express our support and sympathy with the Palestinian nation," Rahmatollah Rafi, the chairman of Iran's Jewish community was quoted as saying at the rally. 

Hinting mainly at Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the report said that Rafi went on to criticize "certain Arab governments for their inaction and silence towards Israeli inhuman acts and war crimes in Gaza and the entire Palestinian territories." 

Separately, IRNA reported that in a Tuesday speech to the Iranian parliament Mara-Sedq "expressed shock" over the "savage acts" perpetrated by "the Tel Aviv regime." 

The report said that the Jewish MP "expressed hope that all the peace-loving nations and the true advocates of human rights would thoroughly support the defenseless Palestinian people and make Israel stop the genocide in the region by exerting pressure on Tel Aviv." 

He also reportedly gave voice to the "hatred" the Iranian Jewish Community harbors towards "the Israeli crimes." 

According to the report, Mara-Sedq's remarks elicited a chorus of anti-Israel and anti-US slogans from members of parliament. 

Iranian Jewish leaders are often quoted as having given voice to extreme anti-Israel views, but it is unclear whether these opinions are imposed upon them by the regime. Some 25,000 Jews live in Iran.


my comment:
Not all Jews subcribe to the idea of rullig Zionist and their cohort.The Israeli latest aggression clearly show how while maintaining the memory of their own sacred holocaust, perpetrating their own holocaust on the Palestinians people. 






Watch the Palestinian mourners on Monday (December 29) buried 8 children who were killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza Strip.

Dear President-elect Obama, please end military aid to Israel

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.”
