” Annual UN-backed Summer Games to give Gaza’s children ‘a chance to be kids’ “
This is the headline of an article posted on the News section of the United Nations on 16 June 2011: The United Nations-backed Summer Games for children have begun in the Gaza Strip in an annual attempt by its organizers to “Give the kids of Gaza a chance to be kids”
The Nations have United sunk below any level of humanity and display an utterly magnum opus of ignorance for the real suffering. Creating this anual event while stating children will be “allowed” for a while to be a kid. That is when they are not kidnapped, arrested or bombed at night.
UN, which was founded to achieve it’s missions to ensure peacekeeping, intermediate in conflicts, achieve human rights and possibilities to effectiate them as well, fight against drugs, crimes, environmental disasters, hence the list seems to be endless but for whom is interested in the exhausting “efforts” of UN a complete list of missions can be found here.
Let’s see what the UN/UNRWA has done for Palestine and lets begin where it started 63 years ago.
The Nakba
To accomplish the “State of Israel” over 800.000 Palestinians have been exiled during the Nakba after 77 massacres. For those who still think this is about Arab, Muslim or Islam, 100.000 Crhistians who were peacefully co-existing with their Muslim countrymen were also expelled. The crimes of zionism do not know any religion. So better forget it is about a Jewish state for even Jews who do not agree with the concept of Zionism are a target themselves.
But no panic! UNRWA is there to supply the homeless and displaced with tents:
Refugees
After the Palestinians were casted out of their homes and the “State of Israel” ethnically cleansed the villages go here for an Interactive map of Palestine villages destroyed during Nakba But UN takes care of the homeless. And they forsee in this need and tents are being supplied. 63 years ago as well as now.
Of course not only tents. People also need food.
The “Feeding”
A soup-line in a Refugee camp, 63 years ago and now. For 800.000 of 1,7 million inhabitants of world’s largest open air prison called Gaza is dependant on relief and food supplied by organisations like UNRWA. For it is almost impossible for Palestinians (as well in Gaza as in West Bank) to do some agriculture themselves, hence, when it is not bulldozered or burned when they do so. Let’s take the shortest turn, forget all details for it is still the same story as 63 years ago and only about Ethnic Cleansing.
This ethnic cleansing forsees not only in massacres, exile, evictions, home demolitions or in immediate targeting of Palestinians but while the world is wide asleep in ignorance a slow and silent genocide is going on to starve them. Israel does not want you to know this but let’s talk about this “aid” of UN in supplying “basic needs”
The Sacks
For over 63 years now, the “United Nations” support not only the Palestinians with the sacks of food, also the strong Palestinian men keep dragging them to what is left of their homes but mainly, UN forfills the shahawaat (desire) of the “State of Israel” to sustain this situation.
For the status of refugee as well as relief are supposed to be temporary. Not 63 years. In stead of endorsing the law, regulations, higher International Law and Human Rights, they keep avoiding this issue and not bring in the rights and liberties, but more sacks. Nicer sacks. 63 years of sacks.
But don’t let them fool you! The “State of Israel” even tried to file an appeals to Supreme Court to prevent exposure of document containing minimal calorie requirements for residents of the Gaza Strip. So we can conclude there is no discussion about the fact some sick people even calculate what is necessary to make one succomb of hunger. So let’s get into the sacks:
To take care the Palestinians in Gaza don’t get proteins out of the sea, Israel even violated the Gaza-Jericho Agreement of 1994, the Bertini Agreement of 2002 but solely is responsible for rewriting every law by reducing the whole Maritime Laws about territorial waters into a severe brutal seablockade to a 3 mile zone at Gaza shore. Don’t start thinking fisherman get their sardine out there for IOA takes care numerous naval vessels are present all the time to shoot, attack, sink fishingboats and abduct the seamen as well.
Agriculture in the Gaza strip is a very dangerous occupation. Many have been shot down by snipers while working on their lands or especially near the no-go zone the lands are bulldozered out of “security reasons”.
In the West Bank, lands are confiscated and even crops, olive trees and exploit these. When not able to exploit then demolishing it, or savage settlers throw their waste water over the lands so it is unable to use or harvest.
Of course the “State of Israel” has more cards in Pandora’s Box, for when they are not able to achieve this goal other zionist tactics are numerous in zion’s tactic-box: Starve Them; then Shoot Them; then Give Them Cancer
Denial of basic needs apparently is not enough.
The Ongoing Massacres, Public, silenced or ignored by the world
As stated before it is about ethnic cleansing, for the main and real goal of the “State of Israel” is never to achieve peace but to create a “Lebensraum” for Zion: The Greater Israel. Here is a Map of “Greater Israel” Published by Radical Settler Movement which shows without any mercy what the real plan behind these ongoing atrocities are.
It is not like the Nakba ever ended. It goes on even today. No need to get deeply into this issue for the list of Israeli Massacres on Palestinians is self-explaining.
The remaining Palestinians, which not die of massacres or hunger are exposed to daily humiliation, atrocities, violence and apartheid in a way Zionism exceeds even the limits of horrendous behaviour of Nazis. They became exactly and even worse as those they feared once themselves.
But there are some agreements and when ever the “State of Israel” is obeying one, it will make you believe it is taking care of the Palestinians very well, as stated in the obligations of the Occupier in International Law, the Geneva Convention or in the Hague Regulations for armed conflicts etc etc etc. which state the occupier has to take care of the inhabitants of the occupied territories and this means in every basic need. This is not happening in reality though.
When (!) the border is open or not on Jewish holidays, not when the wind comes from the west or the spoiled kid “Israel” does not get what it wants for it is always the Palestinians who need to suffer. No particular reason needed to deny basic rights or liberties. Not even when Palestinians have done nothing at all, illegal colonists cure their frustration our on Palestine mainly called “Price Tag attacks” or any other method is applied to achieve the higher goal of exhausting, expelling and finally extreminating Palestinians. First from their home, than their lands untill they have only a matrass to carry around…that is if they are lucky that is what is left to them.
The Matrass
For 63 years now, Palestinians are dragging around their belongings like these children on the picture. When their homes do not get bombed , they are demolished or not able to be evicted by illegal verdicts of self proclaimed “State of Israel”‘ s racist laws, some settlers come over and take over houses just like that. To achieve a free home in Palestine, to accomodate an art gallery in an ethnically cleansed East Jerusalem home or just to build and expand illegal settlements.
Settlements are a severe violation of International Law which prohibits the occupier to transfer its own people into occupied territories. But the “State of Israel” does not recognize no laws, only violates them, and has a huge record of UN resolutions against it.
But again the world is in silence. And no United Nations nor UN tax supporting mankind is troubled about this. They pay tax, remain funding these atrocities as well and in the night they turn relaxed on their matrass while the Palestinians keep dragging theirs around.
Denial to Human Rights
Medical TreatmentBesides the above, the “State of Israel” denies Palestinians who endure all of this and get tired, homeless or sick at last, even the most basic Human Right : Medical treatment and the right to intergrity of the body and soul. In a report of B’Tselem, an Israeli Human Rights organisation is describes how many Palestinian deaths have followed after infringement of right to medical treatment 2000 -2011| Btselem
Electricity, gas, all is limited. Those shortage not only are relevant for turning on a lamp, but also to sustain the treatment of patients who for example are dependant of dialysis, breathing appartuses, incubators for babies and so on. A slow motion genocide which only in Gaza cost over 600 people’s lives in just 5 years since it is under Siege.
Violations, Abuse and Torture
Palestine, one big prison itself seems not enough for the “State of Israel” violating another law: Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which states that an occupying power must detain residents of occupied territory in prisons inside the territory.
Gaza an open air prison, the whole of Palestine under occupation and restrictions but even in prison rights are violated : 8500 Palestinian Political Prisoners abused, denied medical care, tortured in Israeli prisons of which almost 300 children.
Besides this the racist permit policies of IOA prohibit often visits to detainees. Most of them by the way administrative detainees which is a violation of law as well. IOA knows many prisons filled with people who’s story are all the same: arbitrary arrests, no accusations, the protection of Political immunity for parliamentarians is a no go area for IOA, hence, it just needs no reason at all top arrest, detain and violate. Beyond every imagination for example the arrest of a Mentally handicapped 4 year old child by IOF on Mar 29, 2011
More about the violations towards children of Palestine you can read in the special topic and Action Alert for Children of Palestine. As well as in the topic for Silwan, which is a “hot spot” for targeting minors.
So Image for a Moment… this is YOUR child:
Watch with your own eyes, of these kinds of “Aid”, “Relief” and “United Efforts” of Nations supposed to be human at all. In hope you really have the courage and the humanity to read the photostory untill the end and rethink the “United Efforts” and the sustaining policies of UN over again….
A Story in Pictures about the Children of Palestine
Back to the Summer Camps
Palestine is not waiting for summercamps to give Gaza’s children ‘a chance to be kids’Palestine is not waiting for sacks of food or so called relief which only is sustaining the occupation.
Palestine is not waiting for comdemnations of zionist behaviour and acts, with only slamming but never acting.
Palestine is waiting for the United Nations and Humanity to bring what is deserves justice, integrity and security and a home which remains a home, for Palestinians and the children….
This is what Palestine is waiting for:
UDHR Art 3: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.”UDHR Art 5:”No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”
UDHR Art 9: “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile”
UDHR Art 13:1:”Everyone has the right 2 freedom of movement & residence within the borders of each state”
UDHR Art 13:2: “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country”
UDHR 15:1: Everyone has the right to a nationality.
UDHR 16(3): “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.”
UDHR 17:(2): “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.”
UDHR 20(1): Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association
UDHR 20(2): “No one may be compelled to belong to an association.”
How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all. What do you think after reading this, what is needed, to give the child a chance to be a child.
I can tell you. It is NOT a summercamp.
Spread the word, for the real sake of the children of Palestine
