CXC3000 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 How will the only 'democracy' in the Middle East get out of this one ? ---------- Human rights body says those seeking damages for actions of Israeli military are refused entry to the country to appear in court A human rights organisation has launched a legal challenge to the state's policy of denying Palestinians permission to leave Gaza to pursue claims for damages resulting from military action, which has led to dozens of cases being dismissed by the Israeli courts. The petition follows a supreme court ruling in 2006 that Palestinians were entitled to sue the state of Israel for compensation for damages caused to civilians by the military outside of "acts of war". Lawsuits were filed for death, injury, house demolitions, torture and cruel or inhumane treatment. The cases include that of Mohammed Asad Mohammed Alloh, disabled after being shot in the head from an Israeli military helicopter at the age of 13 in 2004. He was refused entry to Israel to undergo medical examination by an expert witness, as required by the court. His lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein, was forced to withdraw the case in 2010 after a five-year battle. Hassan Lutfi Saed al-Bishawy was taking his pregnant wife to hospital with her sister and a neighbour in January 2005 when their car came under fire from Israeli soldiers. The neighbour was killed and Bishawy was shot in his thigh and hand. Kamla Saleh Suliman Abu Said and her niece were shot dead while working in fields near the Gaza-Israel border.

SiSiSi Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 So there you are! You went kinda quiet on another thread when someone asked a question that you obviously weren't able to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 So there you are! You went kinda quiet on another thread when someone asked a question that you obviously weren't able to answer. What do you think of Israel's disgraceful behaviour, SiSiSi ? Do you think it's right for Palestinians to be denied permission to leave Gaza, to pursue claims for damages resulting from Israeli brutality ?

Ian Dome Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 So Palestinians who choose to terrorise Israel with rockets launched from their homes - once they receive the IDF payback, they can then sue?! LOL. They need to face up to it, they're at war. They voted Hamas, Hamas are sworn to Israels destruction, it can be argued the whole of Gaza is committed to war with Israel. Get what they deserve.

I haven't got the answer to that question, so I'm going to disappear from this thread. It's a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer. So Palestinians who choose to terrorise Israel with rockets launched from their homes - once they receive the IDF payback, they can then sue?! LOL. Does that include : Mohammed Asad Mohammed Alloh, disabled after being shot in the head from an Israeli military helicopter at the age of 13. Or : Hassan Lutfi Saed al-Bishawy was taking his pregnant wife to hospital with her sister and a neighbour in January 2005 when their car came under fire from Israeli soldiers. The neighbour was killed and Bishawy was shot in his thigh and hand. And these 2 children : Kamla Saleh Suliman Abu Said and her niece were shot dead while working in fields near the Gaza-Israel border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 We hear of people in Britain moaning about the number of immigrants that seem to be taking over our country - imagine what the poor people of Palestine think with the israeli's constantly occupying, murdering, taking over land, blaming, setting rules & laws, building walls around them in their own country whilst the world watches on and the West nods its head in aquiescence. :shakes: I like many others, hope Palestine will be free from oppression one day. We've seen a black man become president of the USA ~ lets hope we can see israel outed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Dome Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Does that include : Or : And these 2 children : Thanks a lot for your response. Accidents can happen. Can you prove any of this was delibrate? In fact, can you provide any context at all so that we can make an informed opinion? Do you even know what an informed opinion is?

Ian Dome Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I see the Muslim Brotherhood are settling in nicely in Egypt. Israel, even after the "Arab spring" "pro-democracy" protests, is still the only democracy in the middle east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Accidents can happen. Can you prove any of this was delibrate? This might explain a few things : Lawyers in EU draw up list of alleged IDF war criminals http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/lawyers-in-eu-draw-up-list-of-alleged-idf-war-criminals-1.5386 --------- And speaking of deliberate actions : IDF found to have "deliberately killed" peace activist A British jury have found that the IDF are guilty of intentionally killing a peace activist in the Gaza Strip as he attempted to help children when the Israeli army opened fire. The jury found that Tom Hurdnall, 22, who had been shot in broad daylight, whilst wearing bright orange clothing, had been deliberately shot by an Israeli soldier, "with the intention of killing him". http://the-osterley-times.blogspot.com/2006/04/idf-found-to-have-deliberately-killed.html --------- 'Ian Dome', are you going to condemn the IDF for at least one war crime ?
