Palestinian Peace Proposal

P F Tinmore, et al,

I think you are misusing the term "siege." A "siege" is used in the offense with the intent to prevent conquer by attrition or assault --- during wartime. In the case of GAZA, the applicable term is containment and the establishment of a security barrier to prevent:

It is understood that: small arms and light weapons (SALW) are broadly used by many different groups including but not limited to militaries, gangs and terrorist organisations, --- including Palestinian terrorist Organizations, Islamic Resistance Movements and Militant activities, and generalized Jihadist and Fedayeen.

Noting that the main factors, which influence the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons, are:

a)weak border control
b)cross-border smuggling
c)The black Market
d)The demand for arms
e)The poor monitoring of the trade of small arms and light weapons,​

It have become necessary to contain the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) from obtaining SALW to further the official hostile agenda through the infiltration and exfiltration of asymmetric elements to pursue the targeting of cross-border civilian targets:
  • attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;
  • attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;
  • kidnapping or hostage taking;
  • causing extensive destruction to a Government or public facility, a transport system, an infrastructure facility, including an information system, a fixed platform located on the continental shelf, a public place or private property likely to endanger human life or result in major economic loss;
  • seizure of aircraft, ships or other means of public or goods transport;
  • manufacture, possession, acquisition, transport, supply or use of weapons, explosives or of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, as well as research into, and development of, biological and chemical weapons;
  • release of dangerous substances, or causing fires, floods or explosions the effect of which is to endanger human life;
  • threatening to commit any of the hostile acts

The issue of settlements is a matter that is suppose to be resolved via the dispute resolution agreement outlined in the Oslo Accords.

OSLO I Article XV

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
1. Disputes arising out of the application or interpretation of this Declaration of Principles, or any subsequent agreements pertaining to the interim period, shall be resolved by negotiations through the Joint Liaison Committee to be established pursuant to Article X above.

2. Disputes which cannot be settled by negotiations may be resolved by a mechanism of conciliation to be agreed upon by the parties.

3. The parties may agree to submit to arbitration disputes relating to the interim period, which cannot be settled through conciliation. To this end, upon the agreement of both parties, the parties will establish an Arbitration Committee.​

OSLO II ARTICLE XXI

Settlement of Differences and Disputes

Any difference relating to the application of this Agreement shall be referred to the appropriate coordination and cooperation mechanism established under this Agreement. The provisions of Article XV of the DOP shall apply to any such difference which is not settled through the appropriate coordination and cooperation mechanism, namely:

1.Disputes arising out of the application or interpretation of this Agreement or any related agreements pertaining to the interim shall be settled through the Liaison Committee.

2. Disputes which cannot be settled by negotiations may be settled by a mechanism of conciliation to be agreed between the Parties.

3. The Parties may agree to submit to arbitration disputes relating to the interim period, which cannot be settled through conciliation. To this end, upon the agreement of both Parties, the Parties will establish an Arbitration Committee.​

It should be noted that the Islamic Resistance Movement indicated in its 2013 Political Position Paper, that sovereignty over the entire territory is demanded: "Palestine from the river to the sea, and from north to south, is a land of the Palestinian people and its homeland and its legitimate right, we may not a waiver an inch or any part thereof, no matter what the reasons and circumstances and pressures." This essentially means the dismantlement of the Jewish State of Israel; as established under the UN Partition Plan. This is not unlike the threat base correspondence of 1948 by the Arab Higher Committee:

It should be noted that the Arab Higher Committee (as the aggressor as part of the Aggressor Force in 1948) was the last Arab Palestinian organization that stipulated the end of the conflict: "In conclusion, the Arab Higher Committee Delegation wishes to stress the following:" When will it end:

    • (g) The Arabs of Palestine made a solemn declaration before the United Nations, before God and history, that they will never submit or yield to any power going to Palestine to enforce partition. The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out — man, woman and child.

The 521 tunnels– believed to be primarily used for smuggling weapons,​

Smuggling is the term for importing illegally.

It is not illegal for Palestine to import weapons.

In this case "smuggling" is a propaganda term.

Those Zionists just don't get it. You see folks, the Palestinians are "importing weapons" to protect & defend Israel. Silly Zionists.
 
P F Tinmore, et al,

In this case, they are talking about the positive aspects of establishing Friendly relations and Co-operation between the two states (A/RES/2625).

How do you "normalize" an occupation?

What Israeli policies do they change?
(COMMENT)

Full normalization would ultimately lead to the termination of the Belligerent Occupation and the establishment of formal diplomatic relations under general accepted practices.

But, there are still powerful forces that would prefer that Israel and the Palestinians not achieve such a level.

Most Respectfully,
R
You don't normalize an occupation. You eliminate the occupation.

Israel has made it clear that they will never allow the occupation to end.

It should be noted that the Islamic Resistance Movement indicated in its 2013 Political Position Paper, that sovereignty over the entire territory is demanded: "Palestine from the river to the sea, and from north to south, is a land of the Palestinian people and its homeland and its legitimate right, we may not a waiver an inch or any part thereof, no matter what the reasons and circumstances and pressures." This essentially means the dismantlement of the Jewish State of Israel; as established under the UN Partition Plan. This is not unlike the threat base correspondence of 1948 by the Arab Higher Committee:

It should be noted that the Arab Higher Committee (as the aggressor as part of the Aggressor Force in 1948) was the last Arab Palestinian organization that stipulated the end of the conflict: "In conclusion, the Arab Higher Committee Delegation wishes to stress the following:" When will it end:

Is that why Abu Mazen tries to use it to attack Israel with all the time. When it suits the Palestinian side it is alive and well, when it doesn't it was breached and so no longer exists
Abu Mazen left the government in June of 2007. He doesn't speak for anyone.





He still spouts his views every day. and it was him that started the ICC investigation into war crimes last summer

How do small arms become illicit? (Office for Disarmament Affairs - UNODA)
Sources of small arms supplies to areas of crisis and conflict are varied. Domestically, small arms can enter
illicit circulation through distribution, theft, leakage, divergence, pilferage or resale. Shipments of small arms to conflict zones from abroad are most often small-scale consignments - a steady trickle of weapons across porous borders. The cumulative destabilizing force of such small-scale trade is not to be underestimated, particularly in unstable regions where small arms are traded from one conflict to another.

I think you are misusing the term "siege." A "siege" is used in the offense with the intent to prevent conquer by attrition or assault --- during wartime. In the case of GAZA, the applicable term is containment and the establishment of a security barrier to prevent:

It is understood that: small arms and light weapons (SALW) are broadly used by many different groups including but not limited to militaries, gangs and terrorist organisations, --- including Palestinian terrorist Organizations, Islamic Resistance Movements and Militant activities, and generalized Jihadist and Fedayeen.

Noting that the main factors, which influence the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons, are:

a)weak border control
b)cross-border smuggling
c)The black Market
d)The demand for arms
e)The poor monitoring of the trade of small arms and light weapons,​

It have become necessary to contain the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) from obtaining SALW to further the official hostile agenda through the infiltration and exfiltration of asymmetric elements to pursue the targeting of cross-border civilian targets:
  • attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;
  • attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;
  • kidnapping or hostage taking;
  • causing extensive destruction to a Government or public facility, a transport system, an infrastructure facility, including an information system, a fixed platform located on the continental shelf, a public place or private property likely to endanger human life or result in major economic loss;
  • seizure of aircraft, ships or other means of public or goods transport;
  • manufacture, possession, acquisition, transport, supply or use of weapons, explosives or of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, as well as research into, and development of, biological and chemical weapons;
  • release of dangerous substances, or causing fires, floods or explosions the effect of which is to endanger human life;
  • threatening to commit any of the hostile acts

You are now --- and have been, for some time, sensitive about the designation of "terrorist."


While many European diplomats resent the designation of Hamas, pointing to the group's dominance of the Gaza Strip and its centrality to regional events, the EU will likely work assiduously to reinstate the designation for two reasons: first, to protect its designation regime from further legal challenges and defend the Council's original ban on Hamas, and second, to prevent an inherently apolitical, independent judicial action from damaging the prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East. The very same day the EU court issues its judgment, the UN Security Council is expected to vote on a Palestinian resolution setting a November 2016 deadline for outlining a final Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, including Israeli withdrawal from lands sought for a Palestinian state. These two actions will be seen by many, especially in Israel, as intertwined. And Hamas will no doubt point to the decision as vindication of its claim that it is not a terrorist group -- its recent kidnappings, rocket salvos, and tunnel attacks notwithstanding.

In General the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades [the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS)], have conducted many Jihadist and terrorist attacks including large-scale suicide bombings, kidnaping and murder on both Israeli civilian and military targets. HAMAS official policy is that Jihad and the armed resistance is the right and real method for the liberation of Palestine --- as they define it be as from the River to the Sea. That makes HAMAS a state which support terrorism. The EU Court ruling (62010TA0400: Case T-400/10: Judgment of the General Court of 17 December 2014) under the political pressure and terrorist intimidation, made the judgement it did --- because of the inclusion as part of the Palestinian Unity Government and the threats (by HAMAS officials) against European countries that supported the designation. By lifting it from the designated terrorist list, it allows for the continuation of negotiations without violating the principle that Diplomatic Missions do not negotiate with terrorists. The EU Court does not suggest HAMAS does not support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups and eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists. On the contrary, HAMAS itself admits as much. The EU Court in NO WAY absolves or finds in favor of HAMAS on the matter of its:
  • Seriously intimidating a population,
  • Unduly compelling a Government or international organisation to perform or abstain from performing any act, or
  • Seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a country or an international organisation,
(a) attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;

(b) attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;

(c) kidnapping or hostage taking;

(e) seizure of aircraft, ships or other means of public or goods transport;

The simple fact is, that the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), and its associates have an extensive history of behaviors and self admission that they perform these acts to intimidate the UN Assembly, and EU membership into oppressing Israel in its efforts to hold and maintain it's statehood, preserving it culture and heritage, and protect its citizens against the savagery and barbarity by which the Islamic Resistance Movement define themselves.
