Accolti con un nutrito lancio di pietre i diplomatici Usa in visita a Turmus Aya dove nei giorni scorsi “sconosciuti” hanno divelto e distrutto 5 mila alberelli di ulivo appena piantati dai palestinesi. Un atto barbaro che gli abitanti della zona attribuiscono ai coloni dell’avamposto di Adey-Ad
Gerusalemme, 3 gennaio 2015, Nena News – Che ingrati i coloni israeliani. Dovrebbero ringraziare giorno e notte gli Stati Uniti sempre pronti ad impedire una soluzione della questione palestinese fondata sulla legalità internazionale. L’ultima volta appena qualche giorno fa, quando gli Usa hanno minacciato di bloccare con il veto la risoluzione presentata dai palestinesi, bocciata per un solo voto dal Consiglio di Sicurezza dell’Onu, che chiedeva la fine dell’occupazione israeliana entro il 2017. E invece i settler non si accontentano, mai, e non esitano a ricambiare l’appoggio totale degli Usa a Israele con accuse pesanti alla linea di Washington nella regione. E se capita l’occasione prendono a sassate i diplomatici americani. E’ accaduto ieri nei pressi di Turmus Aya, in Cisgiordania, dove nei giorni scorsi “sconosciuti” hanno divelto e distrutto 5 mila degli 8 mila alberelli di ulivo appena piantati dai palestinesi. Un atto barbaro che gli abitanti della zona attribuiscono ai coloni dell’avamposto di Adey-Ad, intenzionati ad impedire che i palestinesi possano tornare a coltivare le terre vicine al loro insediamento.

Declarations on suspending security cooperation were intended first and foremost to rein in the anger within the Fatah movement, and stemmed from internal needs within the Palestinian leadership, official says.
Over the weekend, the PA arrested 21 Hamas members in Hebron [....]

Abbas’ sane warning against falling into the trap of war evaporates due to his dictatorial conduct.
The problem is that diplomacy at the United Nations (and before that the meaningless negotiations) is enabling the status quo that Israel is exploiting to create permanent Palestinian bantustans, the same status quo from which the PA nomenclature also benefits. The problem is that Abbas is treating his non-state and his movement like an absolute monarch.

How Israel Undermines International Law Through "Lawfare"
Operation Protective Edge was not merely a military assault on a primarily civilian population. As in its previous “operations” (Cast Lead in 2008-9 and Pillar of Defense in 2012), it was also part of an ongoing assault on international humanitarian law (IHL) by a highly coordinated team of Israeli lawyers, military officers, PR people and politicians, led by (no less) a philosopher of ethics. It is an effort not only to get Israel off the hook for massive violations of human rights and international law, but to help other governments overcome similar constraints when they embark as well on “asymmetrical warfare,” “counterinsurgency” and “counter-terrorism” against peoples resisting domination. It is a campaign that Israel calls “lawfare” and had better be taken seriously by us all.
