| Beebs: West Bank Barrier Illegal | |
| 2003-09-30 | |
| EFL. A United Nations human rights investigator has denounced a controversial barrier Israel is building in the West Bank as illegal.
"All have the right to self-determination except the Jews." Israel, which says it is building the wall to stop suicide bombers crossing from Palestinian areas, dismissed the findings as "one-sided, highly politicised and biased". Which they probably are. The report by the special investigator comes a day before the Israeli Cabinet is due to decide on the route of the next stage of construction. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said the fence will be built around two Jewish settlements - Ariel and Kedumim - reaching deep into the West Bank. The Palestinians have described the fence as a "Berlin Wall", which traps some Palestinian towns and villages and has cut off farmers from their land. And boomers from the Jews they want dead. America has also raised objections and are considering withholding loan guarantees to Israel in line with the money the Israelis spend on the barrier. | |

| #5 I should have put the sarscam marks. The reason the Beeb did not mention those points is because they are bunch of liars trying to manipulate the people and to tilt the very principle of democracy through distorted information. |

| #4 Now I get it. What I don't get is why the Beeb forgets to mention the preceeding points. Because they don't like to admit that the UN is on the wrong side. |

| #3 A "UN Huan rights investigator'? In other words an employee of the "Human Right Committee" isn't it? That committee chaired by Lybia and with such prominent members than Saudi Arabia and Syria isn't it?

| #2 A United Nations human rights investigator has denounced a controversial barrier Israel is building in the West Bank as illegal. So what are the UN morons going to do? Put Israeli leaders in jail? America has also raised objections and are considering withholding loan guarantees to Israel in line with the money the Israelis spend on the barrier. Those idiots in Washington could take a clue and start building one between the U.S. and Mexico. |

| #1 Betcha some in the Palestinian villages trapped on the Israeli side are (secretly) saying "Yes, there is a God!" |
