First let's get the people out of their shelters (the lucky ones that have them) in the south. Let's reinstate their human rights to walk around the town and take their kids to school without fear of a rocket attack from the monsters in Gaza. WHAT ABOUT THEM??????????

Free Gilad!

The UN ignores the most basic right - the right to live for Jews, but invents non-existing laws and rights for Arabs. They started a war and then complain when we don't just roll over and die. To Navi Pillay F**k O**

Israel's obligations as occupying power Under international law Israel is obliged to uphold certain specified basic standards to protect both the population under its control and the land on which that population lives. These obligations are expressed in the Hague Regulations of 1907, the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and the First Additional Protocol to the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1977. Israel's control of Gaza's borders If Gaza was not under occupation its residents would be free to leave and control its borders, including the sea. However Israel maintains effective control of Gaza's borders, its airspace, and the waters beyond the Gaza coast. Palestinian use of the coastal waters is subject to severe restrictions. Palestinian boats are prohibited from going out beyond a prescribed distance, and foreign vessels are prohibited from coming within 12 nautical miles off the coast. Furthermore, the Israeli navy retains the right to "take any measures necessary against vessels suspected of … any… illegal activity." Israel has maintained regular bans on fishing off the Gaza coast, such as its total ban on fishing between June to late October 2006. In late October 2006, Israel partially relaxed the ban. However in the same month the UN Office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs noted: The fishing industry has been paralysed by the complete ban imposed by the IDF on fishing grounds off the Gaza Strip for over 50 days. On 14 August [2006], the General Syndicate of Marine Fishers requested the assistance of the international community to support the needs of the fishermen and their families – there are almost 3,000 licensed fishermen in the Gaza Strip, most support sizeable families. The Israeli military has fired on and destroyed boats, and killed fishermen who have gone out to sea despite the ban. Furthermore, the Palestinians cannot develop maritime trade opportunities or develop natural resources located within the territorial waters without Israel's permission.

61% of inhabitants of Gaza are children. Around 17000 of these children are categorised as malnourished. 'Let's reinstate their human rights to walk around the town and take their kids to school without fear of a rocket (tank, missile, helicopter, army, APC, bulldozer, drone) attack from the monsters in Israel'.

Once again, UN is supporting Arab jihad against Israel and is destroying the basic notion of human rights. Hamas is a totalitarian organization which has deprived Arabs of all their human rights however, according to this repulsive organization, Israel must be blamed for protected herself.

Is fuel an human rights? Our ancesters lived without fuel for centuries.

If UN is the world body, it has a sick and corrupted brain. But UN is not the world body, it's just an ugly organization defending Arab crime, anti-Semitism and pogroms against Jews.

Talula well said - what about Israels human rights.

You make me sick , lying weasals and arab kissing rearenders. Gaza is ruled by hamas and backed by egypt and they get what they need. Israel supplies gaza in spite of hamas rocketing it. What a bunch of louts!

Let the Gazans tell their terrorist Hamas government to stop rocketing Israel and make peace and things will get better. They made their own bed why shouldn’t we let them sleep in it?

Which ones? Like the "right" to terrorize and murder Jews?

The Philistines chose war and terror and depriving Jews of our rights, so they themselves will get none.

The opinions of the UN are unimportant, considering their inability to correctly identify the source of the Palestinians' "suffering". STOP THE ROCKETS...and you'll have all you need. 30 trucks were loaded and ready to enter Gaza...rockets prevented their entry - NOT ISRAEL.

When was the last time the UN rights chief called on the end of terrorism and on the release of Gilad ? For some reason I cannot recall, neither when was last time, or any time the UN cared about Israel being of the verge of desapearing from the map or not So probably Shalit is being kept in superb conditions that they couldn't bother about the humanitarian needs of an innocent sodier. But again why would these goyim care - when Olmert, Livni, Avoda Kadima and Merdets pay Gazans friendship visits and don't care about Gilad any less, let alone fortifying the people surviving in the Negev ?

No other comment is necessary.

I heard it was a flourishing business to get through them arms & drugs ... TRY FOOD !

If the Gazans want us to be nice to them then simply stop lobbing deadly rockets at Sderot and the surrounding area. They wanted us out - that Gaza be Judenrein and we did it They wanted us to give them food - we did it They asked that we bring their sick and injured into Israel and treat them - we did it They kidnapped our soldier - in defiance of the Geneva convention They declare death to us and our nation but somehow they are the victims and we are guilty!!!

It........it.........breaks my heart

reporters are killing many people nowadays

The Gaza Strip after disengagement In September 2005, Israel completed the " Gaza disengagement plan" that had been approved by the government and the Knesset. The two primary components of the plan were dismantling of the Gaza settlements and moving the settlers to Israeli territory, and removal of all IDF forces from the area. After the plan was completed, Israel issued an order declaring the end of the military government in the Gaza Strip, and claimed that it was no longer responsible for ensuring the proper functioning of life there. However, Israel continued to control the air and sea space, movement between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (also via neighboring countries), the population registry, family unification, and the crossing of goods to and from Gaza . Also, residents of the Gaza Strip rely solely on Israel for its supply of fuel, electricity, and gas. Until 28 June 2006, an independent electric-power station operated in the Gaza Strip, producing about one-half of the electricity needed by the residents in the Strip. The station relied completely on fuel and gas from Israel. On 28 June, Israel bombed the electric-power station. Since then, residents of the Gaza Strip have relied completely on Israel for their electricity.

With regular claims t from the Israeli government that it has ‘disengaged’ from Gaza, these patrols and attacks from the Israeli navy, regularly occuring from as little as 3 miles from shore, represent a clear signal of the continuation of occupation of Gazan territory as well as regular breaches of the current cease-fire. Over 40,000 people in Gaza make a living from the fishing industry, yet this community has been decimated by Israeli restrictions on fishing rights and the prevention of fuel from reaching the Gaza Strip. According to the Fishing Syndicate in Gaza, fishermen need 40,000 litres of fuel and 40,000 litres of natural gas each day to operate throughout the high fishing season. Starting in April each year, there is a migration of fish from the Nile Delta to Turkish waters which Palestinian fishermen have traditionally relied upon. Yet Israel limits fishing 6 miles from the Gaza shore and regularly attacks those who venture further than 3 miles - over 70 fishermen were arrested last year by the Israeli forces. The large schools that form the migration are usually found 10 miles from shore. The average catch of fish was over 3000 tons a year in the 1990’s, now it is around 500 tons directly due to the Israeli siege of Gaza. Not only this, but the brutal effects of the siege, the water in which the fishermen of Gaza sail in is now receiving 50 million litres of sewage per day because the people of Gaza have no alternative.

It is a libel. Why? No truth what so ever as to why the pooooooooor Gazans suffer. No responsibility placed upon the terrorist Palestinian leaders whose virulent hate for Israel flows from every corner of their supposed society which in fact caused this chain of events. No one asks Gilad be released for the blockade to be lifted!!!! This would not be a libel if in fact the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Sec., General would admit what the Hamas charter reads. Nor would it be a libel if in even the smallest way the UN placed responsiblity in the hands of Hamas. Now watch, this inept Israeli government can make more concessions. The whole thing makes me sick. The 'supposed' deteriorating circumstances in Gaza are no more the fault of Israeli Jews as was the crucifying of Christ. Get my point as to libels and how they follow us no matter what?

Control of an enemy territory`s airspace, land boundaries, coastline, interstate commerce, and travel documents during a period of armed conflict might be a seige, blockade, sanctions, quarantine, or an embargo, but it is not an occupation. By the way, since the Gaza Strip is not (nor a part of) a sovereign state, it has no territorial waters. What part of these staements do you NOT understand? Its all in English, just like your people speak (sort of).

Does this person know that the Gaza strip also has a border crossing with Egypt, which is even more hermetically sealed? And what about the rights of the residents of Sderot and Ashkelon not to be bombed?

Is Gaza under Israeli occupation? Israel claims that it no longer occupies the Gaza Strip. This position is calculated to avoid the responsibilities of an occupying power under international law. But as a matter of fact Israel occupies the Gaza Strip because it maintains effective control over it. The international law relevant to occupied territories become applicable whenever a territory comes under the effective control of hostile foreign armed forces. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross: The question of "control" calls up at least two different interpretations. It could be taken to mean that a situation of occupation exists whenever a party to a conflict exercises some level of authority or control within foreign territory. So, for example, advancing troops could be considered bound by the law of occupation already during the invasion phase of hostilities. This is the approach suggested in the ICRC's Commentary to the Fourth Geneva Convention (1958). An alternative and more restrictive approach would be to say that a situation of occupation exists only once a party to a conflict is in a position to exercise sufficient authority over enemy territory to enable it to discharge all of the duties imposed by the law of occupation. Although Israel's position on the applicable international law fluctuates a great deal, its general approach has been to adopt this latter interpretation. This is reflected in Israel's claim that the Palestinian Authority is responsible for the welfare of Gaza's population. Yet the Palestinian Authority lacks the capacity to meet this responsibility due to Israel's effective control of the Gaza Strip.The residents of Gaza require Israel's consent to travel to and from Gaza, to take their goods to Palestinian and foreign markets, to acquire food and medicine, and to access water and electricity. The Palestinian Authority must seek Israel's permission to perform several key functions of government. These include the provision of social and health services, security, setting immigration policy, developing the Palestinian economy, and allocating resources. In other words Israel has total control of Gaza is obliged under international law to provide these services, but does not. If Israel does not wish to provide these services it must end its occupation of Gaza.

Right, Richard. Britain sent food, fuel, electricity, medicine, replacement parts, and whatever else to Hitler when he was bombing the blinkies out of London? Brits didn't like it so well when they had to hide out in bomb shelters.
