Rabbi Meir Hirsh, Neturei Karta Palestine Neturei Karta of the Orthodox Jewry of Palestine 11-28-8.

 How long will Jewish and non-Jewish leaders who claim the mantle of civilization and morality remain silent in the face of the ongoing state terrorism practiced by the Zionist state against the Palestinian People, most visibly today in Gaza, where the Zionists believe they can starve the Palestinians into submission in violation of all tenets of international law, all religious values in general, INCLUDING the values of the Jewish faith???!!

Dear friends,

Please see the following press release issued by the United Civilians for Peace (UCP), a coalition of 4 Dutch organizations, including Oxfam-Novib which is one of PCHR’s main partners.

 The press release highlights the decision of Unilever Company to withdraw from a factory based in Barkan settlement based in the West Bank.

 The international investment in the Israeli illegal settlement violates the international law. The Israeli settlements themselves are a war crime, under the Fourth 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians in times of war.

 On this occasion, PCHR welcomes this step and praises the efforts of the international organizations that support the efforts of the Palestinian organizations and the Palestinian people to confront settlements and all the severe violations of the International Humanitarian Law that Israel commits against the Palestinian civilians and their possessions.

 Ex-Norwegian prime minister Kåre Willoch spoke out Thursday against Israel and a group of Israeli scholars who earlier this week held a symposium in Jerusalem devoted to accusing the Scandinavian countries of racism, anti-Semitism and Israel-hatred. "It’s a traditional deflection tactic aimed at diverting attention from the real problem, which is Israel’s well-documented and incontestable abuse of Palestinians," Willoch, who presided as Norway’s prime minister in the 1980s, told a Norwegian daily. Willoch, a long-time critic of Israel, was reacting to accusations leveled at an event hosted on Tuesday by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, which, as reported by Haaretz, is described by the organizers as "probably Israel’s first comprehensive discussion into Scandinavia’s approach to the Jewish people and state."
