Boycott Israel

[P F Tinmore]

RE: Boycott Israel
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,

Actually, this Report (E/ESCWA/ECRI/2017/1 • Israeli Practices towards the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid) was published by the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ECWA).

BLUF: The (ECWA) is neither a law enforcement or investigative arm, nor is it have any mandate on the issue of "Apartheid." The report generated is purely a propaganda platform to pressure the International Criminal Court to support its position.

ESCWA is NOT an unbiased organization. It is solely comprised of 18 of 22 Arab League countries:
Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, the State of Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. This demonstrates a continuation of the 1948 conflict opened by the Arab League and represents support for the continuation by other means.

ESCWA provides a framework for the formulation and harmonization of sectoral policies for member countries, a platform for congress and coordination, a home for expertise and knowledge, and an information observatory.

ESCWA activities are coordinated with the divisions and main offices of the Headquarters of the United Nations, specialized agencies, and international and regional organizations, including the League of Arab States and its subsidiary bodies, and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Israel is NOT a member of the Arab League or the UN Activity that is solely comprised of Arab League members.

It is way too complicated to put it in a few talking points.

(COMMENT)

The ESCWA Report supports the premise that there is an outstanding obligation by the international community to resolve a conflict partially generated by its own actions.

The Arab League and subsequently ESCWA contends that the obligation dates formally to 1922, when the League of Nations established the British Mandate for Palestine as a territory eminently ready for independence as an inclusive secular State, yet incorporated into the Mandate the core pledge of the Balfour Declaration to support the“Jewish people” in their efforts to establish in Palestine a “Jewish national home”. This is a mixture of Article 22 League of Nations Covenant, and the Mandate for Palestine. But neither of these references make an obligation to the Arab Palestinians, the Arab League or the UN ESCWA Activities that are solely comprised of Arab League members.

The focus of and strategy behind the ESCWA Report is centered on the allegations and claim of "Apartheid" principally because the Arab League sees it as one of two issues the international community is pledged to prevent. And is form is the cosmetic application of information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize the Arab League and Arab Palestinian political cause or point of view.

All Israeli talking points aside, is the information accurate?

Does this response answer the questions?

I'm still confused as to WHAT "apartheid" [Article 7(1i)] is being claimed.

Nonsense.

This is the same nonsensical propaganda piece by the hacks, Virginia Tilley and Richard Falk you have cut and pasted probably half a dozen times. This time it’s just a different link to the same nonsense.

Just more of the repetitive propaganda you circulate.

It is still news if you have not read it yet.

I am glad that EI had the foresight to save this. The US/Israel had this pulled down in days. It could have been gone forever.

Finding #3: Does not specific border crossings, the Security Barrier along the perimeter of the disputed territory is a violation of what specific law.

Finding #4: Does not identify systematic administrative restrictions on residency and building violates the Oslo Accord II procedures on full Israeli civil and security controls.

Finding #5: Does not identify what action denies the right to leave and return to their country; relative to what identified demarcation.

Finding #6: Does not specify what Arab Palestinians in the disputed territory that were Idenied Palestinian refugees living in the occupied Palestinian territory the right to a nationality, wrongly denied them citizenship of the State (Israel) that governs the land of their birth, and also obstructing the exercise by the Arab Palestinians the right to self-determination and preventing the formation of a Palestinian State in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza Strip.

Finding #7: Does not identify the Arab Palestinians that are denied the right to freedom and residence in the West Bank, which confines them to designated areas on the basis of what unidentified racial group.

Finding #8: Does not specify the actual action that severely impedes Palestinian access to education on a routine basis through extensive school closures, that violate the Oslo Accord II procedures on full Israeli civil and security controls or the 1907 Hague Requirement for peace and security.​

The Annex II aspects are based on the validity in the re-opening of hostilities before the Peace Treaties covering the establishment of the "Permanent International Boundaries." The Arab Palestinians believe that the meaning of “country” to which the Arab Palestinian dispute includes the territory of the State of Israel.

None of these aspects are contestible and suggest that the armed conflict (Jihadism, Fedayeen Activism, Hostile Insurgency Operations, Radicalized Islamic Behaviors, and Asymmetric Violence) are fully justified, to include the unlawful and intentional delivery and detonates an explosive or other lethal device in, into or against a place of public use, a State or government facility, a public transportation system or an infrastructure facility, with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or extensive destruction likely to result or actually resulting in major economic loss.

This report accepts the definition of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of “racial discrimination” as “any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life”. On that basis, this report argues that in the geopolitical context of Palestine, Jews and Palestinians can be considered “racial groups”.

A typical example how forms of protection for minorities are twisted to instead discriminate against them by defining everything in racial terms.

But while the anti-Israel camp might want to attack Jews as a separate race,
it's all personal interpretation, like Ilhan Omar's and David Duke's.

In reality, Israelis and Arabs view themselves as one race, actually cousins, very close.

This is a very good presentation of the report in question.

Israel Palestine International Law Symposium: Is Israel an Apartheid State?

This shows the hypocrisy of the whole charade,
you defend those who practice real Apartheid, and knowing there's nothing specific you can pinpoint against Israel, keep throwing hours of BS hoping something will stick.

rylah,

Your post doesn't express the whole story. It should not read "no Jews allowed". It should read "Jews ethnically cleansed".

This report accepts the definition of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of “racial discrimination” as “any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life”. On that basis, this report argues that in the geopolitical context of Palestine, Jews and Palestinians can be considered “racial groups”.

• Rajoub demands implementation of boycott defined by Council of Arab Ministers for Youth and Sports:

“To refuse to participate in any event that the occupation state hosts; To refuse to host any event in which Israeli groups participate; and for every Arab athlete to refuse to compete against an Israeli athlete."

This week, Jibril Rajoub demanded the implementation of all the boycott clauses prohibiting “normalization” with Israel in sports as agreed upon by the Council of Arab Ministers for Youth and Sports in October 2019. Rajoub, who is Head of the PLO Supreme Council for Youth and Sports and Fatah Central Committee Secretary, publicized at the time the definitions of the prohibited “normalization with the occupation”:

Talkback: UC Regents Statement on Anti-semistim

 

[Sixties Fan]

Introduced by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), the Israel Anti-Boycott Act would expand the 1979 Export Administration Act “to prohibit boycotts or requests for boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations against Israel,” said Zeldin in a statement.

The bill has 59 co-sponsors, including one Democrat, Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York.

“This legislation would not only reinforce Congress’ opposition to the BDS movement, but protects American companies from being forced to provide information to international organizations that peddle this hate-filled movement, and holds those who attempt to violate that protection accountable,” he said.

Regarding the thread title.

There are a whole of other nations that I would boycott before I ever boycotted Israel.

I would rather boycott China for its inhumane treatment of Muslims.
I would rather boycott African countries that persecute gay people.
I would rather boycott Russia for shooting down that plane over Ukraine.
I would rather boycott Germany for letting Frau Merkel rule that country so badly.

Boycott Israel? Don't be silly!
