| UN experts demand immediate end to Israeli settlements |
| 2013-03-19 |
| [Dawn] Israel must immediately begin withdrawing its settlers from the Palestinian territories, UN experts told diplomats Monday, even as the new Israeli government appeared set to strengthen the hand of the Jewish settler lobby. Israel must act to "immediately and without preconditions cease the settlement activity and to initiate a process of withdrawal from the settlements," Christine Chanet told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, lamenting a "rampant annexation" of Palestinian territories. Chanet, of France, was presenting a report of a fact-finding mission commissioned by the council that deemed that the settlements were leading to Palestinians' human rights "being violated consistently and on a daily basis." |

| #6 send the UN a box of sand and a rubber mallet. Given it's the UN you probably need to include pounding instructions too. |

| #5 How do you say "Jump up my ass" in Hebrew? Or is "Kiss my ass" more appropriate? Being the gentleman he is, Bebe let the UN experts off with a "No and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" Beats the wear and tear, and aggrevation of having to write another of those tedious "Strongly worded replies" any day. |
