"On 19 October 2000 a Special Session of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights adopted a Resolution set forth in U.N. Document E/CN.4/S-5/L.2/Rev. 1, 'Condemning the provocative visit to al Aqsa Haram Sharif on 28 September 2000 by Ariel Sharon, the Likud party leader, which triggered the tragic events that followed in occupied East Jerusalem and the other occupied Palestinian territories, resulting in a high number of deaths and injuries among Palestinian civilians.'
"The U.N. Human Rights Commission then said it was '[g]ravely concerned' about several different types of atrocities inflicted by Israel upon the Palestinian People, which it denominated 'war crimes, flagrant violations of international humanitarian law and crimes against humanity.'”
Israel should stop its crimes against humanity.
International Laws
The al Aqsa Haram Sharif is also known as the Har Habayit (or Temple Mount). Non-Muslims and/or Jews may not be able to set foot in Mecca, but Jerusalem is open to all. The Palestinians went crazy after that visit by Sharon. Which is, frankly, why I have a problem with Israel now. Fatah is acting in a non-violent, diplomatic way, but Israel is building settlements. For years Israel complained they are interested in peace, but had no genuine partners for peace. So why not give Fatah a chance, and withhold building for now? Israelis are by nature productive while Arabs, and especially Palestinians, are destructive--so I know it's hard to stop building. But isn't a peace agreement more important than building right now?
Last time I checked, Jerusalem was the capital of Israel, where Jews are permitted to reside, under international law, in fact.
Jerusalem has NEVER in history been a Muslim capital. Never.
Suggesting Jews not live on their own land constitutes racism. Tsk tsk
In fact, the Oslo Accords say nothing of prohibiting Jewish communities in Israel.
In fact, Arab settlements are twice in size as Jewish communities.
In fact, Jewish communities have NEVER been a pre-condition for Pallie-Israeli negotiations.
In fact, Pallies have gone on record as stating they will never recognize Israel's right to exist.
Get your head out of your ass.
