Palestinians Seek U.N. Action On Israeli Terrorism
Thu Nov 9, 8:23 PM

By Irwin Arieff

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A Palestinian official accused Israel on Thursday of "state terrorism" in an attack in Gaza that killed 18 sleeping civilians and said Israeli apologies for such incidents were insincere and no longer acceptable.

"This is terrorism, this is state terrorism," Palestinian U.N. Observer Riyad Mansour told an emergency Security Council meeting. "These are war crimes for which the perpetrators must be held accountable under international law."

Jimmy Carter May Head Beit Hanoun Probe

UN to vote on proposal by Arab nations to censure Israel for Beit Hanoun deaths, appoint UN probe into incident.

US media reports ex-President Jimmy Carter could head mission

WASHINGTON � The United Nations General Assembly will convene a special emergency session Friday to decide on a response to the call by Arab nations to censure Israel for the IDF strike on Beit Hanoun last week which killed 19 Palestinian civilians.

Aside from the censure, the proposed bill calls for the establishment of an international mission to probe the circumstances of the incident, under the personal supervision of UN chief Kofi Annan, as well as a call for the UN to defend the Palestinian population.

United States media reported that former US President Jimmy Carter may head the probe committee.

The initiative was proposed to the UN by the Arabs nations, which decided not to let the US veto on a similar decision in the Security Council a few days ago pass silently.

Representatives of the Arab nations decided to bring discussion of the matter to a more suitable forum � the General Assembly, where the non-aligned nations have a majority of 113 out of 192 member countries.

Majority support?
Over 100 nations have already expressed their support for the bill, although the chief struggle is for the support of European Nations which are considered the �moral voice� of the UN. Various Latin American and Asian nations are expected to decide on the direction of their vote only after the EU countries present their stance.

To gain European support, Palestinian representatives in the UN acted to put together an agreed-upon draft of the proposal. On the other side, Israeli diplomats are working to convince European representatives that Israel regretted the incident, made the appropriate conclusions and applied them operationally � and therefore the UN decision is �a performance meant to censure Israel.�

The US State Department also instructed its envoys across the world to lobby against the decision.

As far as is known, Israel does not plan to cooperate with a UN mission investigating the Beit Hanoun incident. Israel may not allow agents access to the canon battery it launched at the Gaza town or permit the examination of the canon that fired the fatal shell.

Israel behaved similarly when the UN appointed a mission to probe an incident in Jenin during Operation Defensive Shield

The anti semitism of the UN is so blatant.


Israel overflies some troops in its planes....the VERY NEXT day theres a draft resolution being voted on . The US vetoes.
Israel justily defends itself against PLO terrorists.. resolution again comes.
(heh..those PLO fools are such hypocrites..they demanded Israel hand over the Gaza strip, and Israel did, even evicting it's own people from said land, and how do the arabs thank them? with terror attacks)


That being said.

North Korea sets off an A-bomb...a week and a half of bickering before a highly watered down sanctions set is approved.

Iran, defeis the UN openly not meeting a Uranium Enrichment deadline and 3 months later we don't even have a resolution up for vote!!!!!

Civilin casualties occur during war. A sad fact the palestinains cant seem to understand. It doesnt make it terrorism. (How ever, deliberately targetting civilian populations like PLO terrorists do, IS a terrirstic act)
As long as the terror threat remains Israel should have the right to wage war as it sees fit to stop them.
