hypocrisy at its best: UN troops abandon Syria post, march to Israel

[Lipush]

Israel is the bad guy according to the UN? not when they are in time of trouble, it isn't!

Two days after 21 Filipino UN peacekeepers were kidnapped by Syrian rebels in the village of Jamlah, situated less than a mile from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, eight other UN monitors from the Philippines abandoned their position on Friday and crossed the border into Israel.

The soldiers, who belong to a UN force that has patrolled a ceasefire line between Israel and Syria for nearly four decades, were ordered by their commander to abandon the post for fear rebels may attempt to capture more peacekeepers.

An IDF force stationed in the Golan met the peacekeepers at one of the gates along the border fence along with UN personnel who arrived from the Israeli side of the border. The Israeli army stressed that its soldiers did not cross the border to pick up the peacekeepers.

The irony.. Israel a safe haven for the U.N. Should I expect something from the U.N. recognizing that fact?

Wow, what a bunch of nonsense.

We could care less about the situation in Syria. If it was the other way around their would have gloated Israelis being killed, so why should we care which one kills which one? Let them fight between themselves until something major happens to settle things down, but for Israel? The rebels and Assad are both the same trash. Assad Killing Syrians, Rebels killing Syrians and other civilians. Assad Vs. Al-Quaeda supporters.

We could not care less if they all fight to the end of their lives.

Only thing we do care about is if our towns will enter line of fire.

There is no "peace" between Syria and Israel to keep.

And they act in behalf of the same organization which trashes and bashes and slurs our country in every chance they GET.

Yet finding shelter here is fine, right? Don't let them interrupt that small fact, in the NEXT time they decide to call us a "terrorist state".

What a bunch of hypocrites is all that worthless UN!

Israel is the only humanitarian safe haven in the whole area... full of terrorists and other barbaric warring factions.... even the Palestinians are happy to use the services of their enemy Israel when it comes to certain necessities like emergency hospital requirements which are provided gladly and without discrimination!


The world abounds in hypocrisy regarding Israel!


And hypocrite number one is the UN .... who is slow to defend Israel but quick to take refuge there!

That's the way it goes since the UN became infiltrated by Muslim countries. Time for the USA & our allies to get out.

UN arrangin' to get their peacekeepers back...

UN says arrangements made to free peacekeepers
Mar 8,`13: Arrangements have been made with all parties for the release of 21 U.N. peacekeepers held captive by Syrian rebels, although the operation was delayed as darkness fell Friday, the United Nations said.

A team of peacekeepers was sent Friday to bring back their colleagues, who are being held in the village of Jamlah near the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, said Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Peacekeeping Department. Because of the late hour and darkness "it was considered unsafe to continue the operation" but efforts will resume Saturday, she said. The captive troops, all Filipinos, are from a peacekeeping mission that had monitored a cease-fire line between Israel and Syria without incident for nearly four decades. Their abduction Wednesday illustrated the sudden vulnerability of the U.N. mission amid spillover from Syria's civil war. It sent a worrisome signal to Israel, which fears lawlessness along the shared frontier if Syrian President Bashar Assad is ousted.

Earlier, U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous told reporters that the Filipinos are being held in the basements of four or five houses in Jamlah. The peacekeepers are apparently safe, he said, but the village "is subjected to intense shelling by the Syrian armed forces." "As of now, there is perhaps a hope - but I have to be extremely cautious because it is not done yet - but there is the possibility that a cease-fire of a few hours can intervene which would allow for our people to be released," he said after briefing the U.N. Security Council. "If that were to happen, as we all hope," Ladsous said, "we would strongly expect that there not be retaliatory action by the Syrian armed forces over the village and its civilian population after our people have left."

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said late Friday that a media person with the group holding the peacekeepers reported that the rebels would release the captives if there is a cease-fire and a halt in shelling of the area between 10 a.m. and noon local time Saturday. The Observatory, a British-based group that relies on a network of contacts in Syria, said teams from the Red Cross and the U.N. were expected to reach the area Saturday morning. The peacekeepers' four-vehicle convoy was intercepted on the outskirts of Jamlah on Wednesday by rebels from a group calling itself the Martyrs of the Yarmouk Brigades.

Rebels said 10 people have died in regime shelling of Jamlah and nearby villages in recent days. Fighting continued Thursday, according to activists. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned rebel forces anew Friday for holding the U.N. peacekeepers but also blamed President Bashar Assad's regime for attacking the area. "We have the regime shelling this rebel-held position, further endangering the peacekeepers and making it impossible for U.N. negotiators to get in there and try to resolve" the situation, she told reporters in Washington.

Desperate, some fleeing Syria turn to prostitution
Mar 8,`13 -- Walk among the plastic tents in one corner of this sprawling, dust-swept desert camp packed with Syrian refugees, and a young woman in a white headscarf signals.

"Come in, you'll have a good time," suggests Nada, 19, who escaped from the southern border town of Daraa into Jordan several months ago. Her father, sporting a salt-and-pepper beard and a traditional red-checkered headscarf, sits outside under the scorching sun, watching silently. Nada prices her body at $7, negotiable. She says she averages $70 a day. Several tents away, a clean-shaven, tattooed young Syrian man, who says he was a barber back in the city of Idlib, offers his wife. "You can have her all day for $70," he promises. He says he never imagined he would be selling his own wife, but he needs to send money back to his parents and in-laws in Syria, about $200 a month.

As the flow of Syrian refugees into neighboring Jordan is sharply increasing, so is their desperation. With Syria torn apart by civil war and its economy deeply damaged, the total number of people who have fled and are seeking aid has now passed a million, the United Nations said this week. More than 418,000 of the refugees are in Jordan, which recorded about 50,000 new arrivals in February alone, the highest influx to date. Scores of the Syrian women who escaped to Jordan are turning to prostitution, some forced or sold into it, even by their families. Some women refugees are highly vulnerable to exploitation by pimps or traffickers, particularly since a significant number fled without their husbands - sometimes with their children - and have little or no source of income.

Eleven Syrian prostitutes who talked to the AP in the refugee camp, a border town and three Jordanian cities asked to remain anonymous, citing shame and fear of prosecution by police in Jordan. Prostitution in Jordan is illegal and punishable by up to three years in jail, and foreign women and men found guilty can be deported. The majority of the 11 women say they turned to prostitution out of a desperate need for money. It's impossible to pin down how many Syrian refugees are now working as prostitutes in Jordan, but their presence is inescapable. Syrian women outnumbered those from any other country in several brothels, and in a couple of cases, virtually all the prostitutes were Syrian. Pimps say they have more women who are Syrian than of other nationalities.

The influx of Syrian women has been noticed by the competition: A 37-year-old Jordanian woman running a chain of at least seven brothels in northern Jordan complained that they were taking over the business. "Men have been asking for Syrian women because they like the blond and light-skinned among them, and the chances that they may create problems, like blackmailing married Jordanian men, are almost nonexistent," she says. "My policy has been, you either befriend them so that they'd work with you, or get rid of them by tipping police about them."
