EU sanctions against Israel

BTW Monti, from your link, it appears the Zarnuka incident was started by Arabs:

The clash, which left two Jews and one Arab dead, broke out between Rehovot settlers and residents of neighboring Zarnuka. It appears that members of "Hashomer," the newly founded Jewish defense organization, confronted two villagers who were stealing grapes from a vineyard belonging to Rishon Letzion settlers. The confrontation led to a mass brawl and ensuing acts of revenge.

The Russians shot the Arabs for taking a bunch (not meaning "a lot" but a bunch) of grapes. The death sentence for taking a bunch of grapes is not appropriate. You very selective when it comes to Jews killing Arabs.
 
montelatici, et al,

Yes, that is a fine point for a case of a late 20th Century "Unnecessary Use of Force --- or --- Excessive Use of Force." These are subcategories of the larger aspect we categorize as the "Abuse of Power." these come in three flavors:
  • Misfeasance (doing a proper act in a wrongful or injurious manner)
  • Nonfeasance [A failure to act when under an obligation (a legal duty) to do so; a refusal to act (without sufficient excuse)]
  • Malfeasance (wrongful conduct by a public official)
The case of Unnecessary Use of Force --- or --- Excessive Use of Force is the case of a public official wrongfully performing his duty in an injurious manner. Those of us that have carried a badge are very familiar with this.

BUT! There was a time when the Sheriff and Police --- even Township Constables --- operated on the theory that: "You can't break the law if you are the law." And believe me when I say, there are place that still operate under that theory (misconduct done under the color of law). You cannot apply contemporary Law Enforcement concepts to early 20th Century in the Middle East where law was distant and sparse. These farmers and herdsmen employed private security to protect life and property. It was not so long ago that in America, cattle rustling and horse theft were hanging offenses.

Colonial era thru the Wild West in America
Formally-defined vigilantism arose in the early American colonies. But it last nearly into the 20th Century. Some of the more famous groups were the Shelby County Texas Regulators (1839) and Stuart's Stranglers or the Montana Stranglers (1884),
  • At other times, these groups were used for private vengeance or personal gain. While many of the groups were successful, driving out murderers, horse thieves, cattle rustlers, and train robbers, they were finally put to an end in 1897 when the Texas Rangers broke up a group of vigilantes who frequently gathered at Buzzard Roost. Over the years, these many vigilante groups claimed some 140 lives, with the most active being the san Saba County Lynchers, who killed approximately 25 people between 1880 and 1896.

ISRAEL
  • Theft of sheep, goats and cows, along with tractors and irrigation equipment, is one of the most difficult problems confronted by farmers in Israel. About 400 cases are reported annually in the north of the country, and in the south, farmers compare the situation to the Wild West. They suffer millions of shekels in annual losses.[9] Most of the stolen livestock is taken to the West Bank, quickly slaughtered and then smuggled back into Israel, where it is sold by butchers to unsuspecting customers.[10]

America had such groups not 20 years prior to these event between the Jewish Farmers and Palestinians. And for much the same reasons.

No, the first documented killing was the shooting by armed Jewish Russians of an Arab, as documented in the film 1913 Seeds of Conflict. Isn't it terrible to be wrong all the time? You keep posting nonsense that is easily proven false. Are you a masochist? Do you enjoy being cast as a fool?




So the attacks on Jews in Safed in 1834 didn't happen then, even though they are documented

Ahh, so that's your out. LOL Nice try.




No it is not an out it is a fact that you constantly disregard in your futile attempts at demonising the Jews. Modern laws can not be enacted retrospectively if they where then all muslims would face the death penalty in those nations that still have it. The other nations would ban them from their shores for what they did 100 years ago
 
Why would we want to support a country that breaks International Rules?

We have to live in that world.




They don't, it is all lies by neo Marxists, islamonazis and white supremacists. They claim international law and then cant produce any international laws to cover the situation.

If the Arabs had won the 67 War do you think we would be hearing about " Intrrnational Law?" Consider the source

If the Arabs had been able to repel the Israeli sneak attack, perhaps the Palestinian Christians and Muslims would have been able to return to the lands and homes in Palestine stolen from them by the Zionists.

New EU Report Calls for Tougher Sanctions Against Israel Over Construction Jewish Israel News Algemeiner.com

A report that is being prepared by the European Union (EU) calls for tougher sanctions against Israel over the Jewish state’s continued construction in eastern Jerusalem, which the EU said is threatening the “viability of the two-state solution.”

The Eu looks to be on the verge of sanctions against the Jew state for its continued violation of international law.

Excellent news.




Watch the EU start to go down the pan in very quick order, an EU citizen with savings should withdraw them now and lodge them with an Israeli bank for the best return.

Now what is this International Law you claim they are in breach of again, and can you link to it in full so we an see what a moron you are





No need for insults, but there have been violations.

Please note difference between Zionism and Judaism.
Jews should Refer to true Torah Jews and Neturei Karta and Arabs combatants of peace for a solution.

LIST OF INTRNATIONAL LAW VIOLATIONS BY THE STATE OF ISREAL

The state of Israel has violated many international laws, including United Nations Resolutions and the Laws of War and Occupation as stated in the Fourth Geneva Convention. Below is a summary of some of those violations. Much of the fact sheet was taken from the Israeli Law Resource Center (ILRC). Related articles and laws by the ILRC are linked below.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION IS ILLEGAL:Laws Violated: U.N. Charter, Article 2(4) & 51 (1945); Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations..., Principle 1 (1970).

Israeli Actions: It is illegal under international law to acquire land by force: Israel annexed land occupied by force during 1948 and 1967 wars (lands other than those given by the UN 1947-48 partition plan) ILRC article. Military action and occupations are legal only if they are for self-defense, or to directly benefit the native population. But studies show Israel is not just defending itself as it develops de-facto annexation with its settlements and separation barrier on occupied land, as it takes over most of the occupied territories (over 70%) and its natural resources for its own use and economic benefit, at the expense of the native population. ILRC article on why the Occupation is illegal.

ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS ON OCCUPIED LAND:Laws Violated: Geneva Conventions IV, Article 49(6) (1949). It is illegal to colonize occupied land or transfer non-indigenous population to that land.

Israeli Actions: Immediately following the 1967 war, Israel began building Israeli civilian settlements on Palestinian lands, eventually building over 200 settlements throughout the occupied territories, and settling over 450,000 Israeli civilians in them, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians from their own legally owned lands. In addition, Israeli citizens live in hundreds of Israeli settlements on occupied land not originally given to them in the UN Partition Plan, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. ILRC article.

ILLEGAL TO TAKE LAND BY FORCE & CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY:Laws Violated: U.N. Charter, Article 2(4) (1945); Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations..., Principle 1 (1970).

Israeli Actions: In violation of the UN Partition Plan, Israel took an extra 15% of the land in 1948, and then, following the 1967 war, Israel confiscated East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. ILRC article.

ILLEGAL ISRAELI PRACTICE OF ETHNIC CLEANSING:Laws Violated: Forbidding civilian populations the right to return to their homes following the end of armed conflict is in direct violation of international law and UN resolutions. Geneva Convention IV, Articles 45, 46 & 49 (1949), UN resolutions 194 (III) (General Assembly; 1948) & 237 (Security Council; 1967).

Israeli Actions: Since 1910, in different ways, the Zionists and then Israel have taken Palestinian lands, forced native populations from their land, and then refused the Palestinian landowners or tenants’ residency or employment on them. Following fighting in 1948 and then again in 1967, Palestinian civilians who wished to return to their homes in Israel and the Occupied Territories were forbidden re-entry (“right of return”), confining them to increasingly smaller areas of Israel and Occupied Territories. The Israeli government enacts laws, and employs its military to keep approximately 750,000 Palestinian Arab civilians from returning to their homes following the end of fighting both in 1948 and in the occupied territories in 1967. Israel then violates UN resolutions ordering them to respect Palestinians’ right to return to their homes. See the ILRC article on Right of Return and ILRC article on Ethnic Cleansing.

ISRAELI APARTHEID SYSTEM IS ILLEGAL:Laws Violated: International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (1976). Link to our fact sheets on Israeli Apartheid.

Israeli Actions: The State of Israel has a formal system of legalized discrimination against Palestinian Arabs which technically fits the official UN definition of Apartheid. ILRC article. Israel’s society-wide system of discrimination and isolation of the Palestinian people within Israel, and its system of exploitation, oppression and isolation in the occupied territories, fits exactly the official, legal UN definition of apartheid, which is considered to be a crime against humanity. The practice of passing laws which give special favor throughout Israeli society to the Jewish people over all other people, and especially the native Palestinian Arab people, embodies the UN definition of apartheid, which is giving special favor to one group of people above all other groups based on criteria like what religion they are.

Another example is in 2003, the Israeli legislature (Knesset) passed legislation that forbade spouses of Arab-Israeli citizens who are in the occupied territories from joining their families in Israel (with some exceptions). The reason for this legislation is to help maintain the Jewish demographic

majority family unification. The racist nature is evident in that only Palestinians (no other ethnic groups) are not forbidden to live in Israel after marrying an Israeli. ILRC article. General article. Amnesty International argues that this law violates fundamental principles of equity, human dignity and personal freedom enshrined in basic law as well as the rights of the child to live with both parents and other fundamental rights enshrined in human rights treaties in which Israel is a signer. ILRC article on Israeli Apartheid

MASSIVE VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS (HR):Laws Violated: U.N. Charter, Article 1 (1945); Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations..., Principle 5 (1970).

Israeli Actions: Studies by UN, I.C.J., and International H.R. organizations have found that Israel violates the human rights of Palestinian people on a massive scale, including torture, imprisonment without charges or trial, land confiscation, harassment at checkpoints, unwarranted civilian shootings, not punishing Israeli settlers’ crimes against Palestinians, unwarranted disruption of medical care, commerce, employment, free movement, destruction of public and private property, family separation, etc....ILRC article.

COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IS ILLEGAL:Laws Violated: Geneva Conventions IV, Article 33 (1949); Geneva Conventions (Protocol I), Article 75(2d) (1977).

Israeli Actions: In response to Arab rebellion, Israeli Military takes massive action against entire Palestinian communities, for example destroying entire neighborhoods of homes, or confiscating communal farmlands, bulldozing homes, blocking off certain areas, or not allowing civilian populations to leave their houses for extensive periods of time. This is called collective punishment because it punishes entire communities for the actions of a few. ILRC article.

ILLEGAL MASSIVE TRANSFORMATION OF LOCAL LAWS: Laws Violated: Hague Regulations IV, Article 43 (1907).

Israeli Actions: Israel has created a dual legal system in the occupied territories – a democratic one linked to Israel for the Israeli settlements, and an oppressive, exploitive one for the Palestinian communities run by the Israeli military committees and Israeli-controlled civic administrations, replacing all Arab government functions with Israeli military committees, and dismissing or deporting all Arab government official. ILRC article.

VIOLATIONS OF U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS:Laws Violated: Israel has violated 28 resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (which are legally binding on member-nations U.N. Charter, Article 25 (1945); a few sample resolutions - 54, 111, 233, 234, 236, 248, 250, 252, 256, 262, 267, 270, 280, 285, 298, 313, 316, 468, 476, etc.

Israeli Actions: Israel has violated many U.N. Security Council resolutions especially relating to its occupations, land annexations, military aggression, HR violations, etc.. ILRC article.

Separation Barrier Ruled Illegal

Law Violated: International Court of Justice of 2004, in an advisory opinion, ruled the Israeli separation barriers illegal. They condemned the separation wall Israel is building throughout the occupied West Bank in a 14 to 1 ruling. The Court begins by citing, with reference to Article 2, paragraph 4, of the United Nations Charter and to General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV), the principles of the prohibition of the threat or use of force and the illegality of any territorial acquisition by such means, as reflected in customary international law. It notes that significant amounts of land are defacto annexed by the separation barrier. It further cites the principle of self determination of peoples, as enshrined in the Charter and reaffirmed by resolution 2625 (XXV). As regards international humanitarian law, the Court refers to the provisions of the Hague Regulation of 1907, which have become part of customary law, as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949, applicable in those Palestinian territories which, before the armed conflict of 1967, lay to the east of the 1949 Armistice demarcation line (or “Green Line”) and were occupied by Israel during that conflict. The Court further notes that certain human rights instruments (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) are applicable in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It finds that the construction of the wall and its associated régime are contrary to the relevant provisions of the Hague Regulations of 1907 and of the Fourth Geneva Convention; that they impede the liberty of movement of the inhabitants of the territory as guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and that they also impede the exercise by the persons concerned of the right to work, to health, to education and to an adequate standard of living as proclaimed in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Lastly, the Court finds that this construction and its associated régime, coupled with the establishment of settlements, are tending to alter the demographic composition of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and thereby contravene the Fourth Geneva Convention and the relevant Security Council resolutions.

Israeli Action: The separation barrier built by Israel snakes it way though the West Bank, isolating Palestinians from each other, from their land, work, schools and health care. The wall confiscates significant amounts of land and annexes more land to Israel. The court said: The construction of the wall being built by Israel, the occupying power, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and its associated regime, are contrary to international law.” “Israel is under an obligation to make reparation for all damage caused by the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem.” The court noted that significant amounts of the West Bank are, defacto, annexed by the wall. Link to International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion.



If this is the best you an do linking to an islamonazi propaganda source then it shows you have even less credibility than the existing members of team Palestine. Did you personally read all these alleged international laws yourself, and discount the UN resolutions they are not laws but recommendations. The Geneva conventions set out the rules and Israel follows them.

Try again only this tome try and find a non partisan source for your propaganda

I am not sure if you are sarcastic in saying Israel has not abided by international humanitarian law.

The human rights commission of the UN General assembly has cited Israel to be in violation multiple times.

But then again you probably think anyone that criticizes Israel's actions (including the UN, true Torah Jews, Neturei Karta are anti Semitic or Nazi's)

Is there any group that criticizes Israel's actions whom you don't consider an anti Semite?

Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenants on Human Rights,

Guided also by the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the inadmissibility of the acquisition of land by the use of force, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations,

Affirming the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
Expressing serious concern at the lack of implementation by the occupying power, Israel, of previously adopted resolutions and recommendations of the Council relating to the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,

Condemning all forms of violence against civilians and deploring the loss of human lives in the context of the current situation,

Recognizing that the Israeli military attacks and operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied Gaza Strip, constitute severe violations of international humanitarian law and of the human rights of the Palestinian people therein and undermines international efforts towards achieving a just and lasting peace in the region based on the two States solution,

Recognizing also that the Israeli siege imposed on the occupied Gaza Strip, including the closure of border crossings, leads to disastrous humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences.

1. Demands that the occupying power, Israel, end its occupation of the Palestinian land occupied since 1967, and to respect its commitments within the peace process towards the establishment of the independent sovereign Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living in peace and security with all its neighbours;

2. Strongly condemns the Israeli military attacks and operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied Gaza Strip, which have resulted in the killing and injury of thousands of Palestinians civilians, including a large number of women and children;

3. Demands that the occupying power, Israel, stop the targeting of civilians and the systematic destruction of the cultural heritage of the Palestinian people, in addition to the destruction of public and private properties, and the targeting of United Nations Facilities, as laid down in the Fourth Geneva Convention;



4. Demands further that Israel, the occupying power, cease immediately all current excavations beneath and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and refrain from any act that may endanger the structure, or change the nature of the holy sites both Islamic and Christian in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in and around Jerusalem;

5. Calls for immediate international protection of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in compliance with international human rights and humanitarian law both applicable in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem;

6. Also calls for the immediate cessation of all Israeli military attacks and operations throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the firing of crude rockets by Palestinian combatants against southern Israel;

7. Demands that the occupying power, Israel, immediately stop its illegal decision to demolish a large number of Palestinian houses in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of al-Bustan in the Selwan area, near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which will be resulting in the displacement of more than 1,500 Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem;

8. Demands that the occupying power, Israel, release Palestinian prisoners and detainees;

9. Calls upon the occupying power, Israel, to lift checkpoints and to open all crossing points and borders in accordance with international agreements;

10. Decides to continue the consideration of this question at its thirteenth session of March 2010.

Those are sheer fantasy and will not happen under the circumstances. Neither Israel or Egypt will completely open up Gaza with no functional Pali government and the Hamas band of militants who purged their political opposition out of Gaza..

You mean the lands and homes they stole from the Jews who had as much right to live there and form a nation as they did.

If the arabs had won then we would be counting the cost of another holocaust and freddy boy et al would be afraid to even mention Palestine in case they got lynched

As regards international humanitarian law, the Court refers to the provisions of the Hague Regulation of 1907, which have become part of customary law, as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949, applicable in those Palestinian territories which, before the armed conflict of 1967, lay to the east of the 1949 Armistice demarcation line (or “Green Line”) and were occupied by Israel during that conflict. The Court further notes that certain human rights instruments (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) are applicable in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It finds that the construction of the wall and its associated régime are contrary to the relevant provisions of the Hague Regulations of 1907 and of the Fourth Geneva Convention; that they impede the liberty of movement of the inhabitants of the territory as guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and that they also impede the exercise by the persons concerned of the right to work, to health, to education and to an adequate standard of living as proclaimed in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Lastly, the Court finds that this construction and its associated régime, coupled with the establishment of settlements, are tending to alter the demographic composition of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and thereby contravene the Fourth Geneva Convention and the relevant Security Council resolutions.

Israeli Action: The separation barrier built by Israel snakes it way though the West Bank, isolating Palestinians from each other, from their land, work, schools and health care. The wall confiscates significant amounts of land and annexes more land to Israel. The court said: The construction of the wall being built by Israel, the occupying power, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and its associated regime, are contrary to international law.” “Israel is under an obligation to make reparation for all damage caused by the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem.” The court noted that significant amounts of the West Bank are, defacto, annexed by the wall.

If this is the best you an do linking to an islamonazi propaganda source then it shows you have even less credibility than the existing members of team Palestine. Did you personally read all these alleged international laws yourself, and discount the UN resolutions they are not laws but recommendations. The Geneva conventions set out the rules and Israel follows them.

Try again only this tome try and find a non partisan source for your propaganda

I am not sure if you are sarcastic in saying Israel has not abided by international humanitarian law.

The human rights commission of the UN General assembly has cited Israel to be in violation multiple times.

But then again you probably think anyone that criticizes Israel's actions (including the UN, true Torah Jews, Neturei Karta are anti Semitic or Nazi's)

Is there any group that criticizes Israel's actions whom you don't consider an anti Semite?

Condemning all forms of violence against civilians and deploring the loss of human lives in the context of the current situation,

Recognizing that the Israeli military attacks and operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied Gaza Strip, constitute severe violations of international humanitarian law and of the human rights of the Palestinian people therein and undermines international efforts towards achieving a just and lasting peace in the region based on the two States solution,

Recognizing also that the Israeli siege imposed on the occupied Gaza Strip, including the closure of border crossings, leads to disastrous humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences.

1.

Those are sheer fantasy and will not happen under the circumstances. Neither Israel or Egypt will completely open up Gaza with no functional Pali government and the Hamas band of militants who purged their political opposition out of Gaza..

So what ARE these "documents" ?? They are masturbations produced by the "Human Rights Council".. This 14 member council rotates membership which has included such Human Rights stars as Libya, Iran, Cuba and Angola. They could advise any damn thing that pleases them. But it means diddly..





Niether will ever be implemented as there are no international laws that say that this must happen. The international agreements in place for borders allow for closure at any time, and for armed response to any attempted incursion.
