Human Rights Council condemns Burma Israel
2007-09-29
"Mmmm...cake!"
The Human Rights Council once again failed to do their jobs and adopted a resolution that clearly stated that all Israeli policies, as the occupying power, under any pretext are to limit access to the Palestinian holy places particularly in Occupied East Jerusalem, are in violation of the religious and cultural rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (oPt) including East Jerusalem. The resolution was adopted by 31 votes for, one against, and 15 abstentions including the European Union (EU).
Think the EU is running scared?
The resolution called upon Israel to respect the religious and cultural rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the oPt, including East Jerusalem and to allow Palestinian worshipper unfettered access to their religious sites.
No mention of whether Hamas has to respect religious and cultural rights in Gaza.
On behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC),
Of course
Pakistani ambassador Masood Khan told the Council that these restrictions continue during the holy month of Ramadan thus obstructing access of the Palestinians to their religious places.
Guess they'll have to visit some of the other 3,938,457 holiest places in all Islam.
Palestinian ambassador Dr. Mohammad Abu-Koash said that currently Israel has imposed severe restrictions of movement because of the Jewish holidays. This, he added, is outrageous, but it is a normal practice by Israel whenever there are religious holidays since Paleos tend to go boom at such times whether Christian or Muslims and denied them access to their holy places.

The representative of Mexico Mariana Olivera told the Council that obstructing people to get to their places of worship is one of the worst manifestations of intolerance throughout history. Olivera quoted John Kennedy in relation to the Berlin Wall that this is an not only an offense against history but an offense to mankind, and that Mexico agrees with that saying. "New walls will fall but the walls which exist continue to build in the memories of people mistrust," she stressed.
Wonder why the Mexican ambassador is so opposed to walls?

#6  Hope this gets a lot of attention -- this laser-like focus on Israel while the Burmese junta is butchering monks in the street. Forces the contradiction, as ol' Karl Marx used to say.

#4  The The Human Rights Council us an occupying power of Turtle Bay, which I could rent to anti-semites for far more than you leeches cost. If you gave a damn about "human rights" ALL of your FULL TIME efforts would be directed at Sudan where Moslems kill Black Christians with impunity (thanks to you) and in Burma (Where Chinese backed Junta) just kills anyone for not doing what they say.

This council is a stain on all of mankind and should be disbanded without further notice. (Immediately)

#3   Q. "Wonder why the Mexican ambassador is so opposed to walls"

A. Because in their 40+ revolutions, they used the walls to shoot those who didn't agree with those who were pointing the rifles:)

#2  (nee nee, nee nee, nee nee, nee nee)

You’re traveling through another contextual universe, a universe not only of moral inversion and cultural relativism but of flagrant anti-Semitism; a journey into a mysterious region whose boundaries are that of unbridled religious bigotry, That’s the meeting room up ahead — your next stop, the Twilight Zone Human Rights Council.
