Arab group condemns Israeli aggression against Palestinian people
2006-11-16
(KUNA) -- Chair of the Arab group Bahraini ambassador Abdulla Abdullatif Abdulla stressed that the Arab group strongly condemns the continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on their land the latest in Beit Hanoun against the civilian population especially women and children and represents collective punishment and "we" hold Israel responsible for all the repercussions of those aggressions and attacks. He added that the continued gross violations by Israel for Palestinian Human Rights are another proof of Israels disrespect for this distinguished Council. African group presented by Algerian ambassador chair Idriss Jazairy supported the draft resolution presented by the OIC and the Arab group and called upon the Council to rise up to the challenge of its mandate to put an end to those human rights violations.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represented by Saudi ambassador Abdulwahab Abduksalam Attar called for the convening of an international conference in order to move the peace process ahead and put and end to the continued human rights violations by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Palestinian head of mission ambassador Dr. Mohammad Abu-Koash told the Human Rights Special Session on Beit Hanoun that when it was struck by the Israeli artillery this was as if was struck by an earthquake. He urged the Council to stop Israeli atrocities and provide international protection to the Palestinian people. Abu-Koash stressed that manipulation of international law has been elevated to the rank of virtue.

"We are not invading Israel but it is Israel which is doing so to prolong its occupation of our land," he added. Tyranny and suppression in America , he added, gave birth to the revolution; Washington is the name of a great leader who was called a terrorist, a description that applies now to the Palestinian resistance fighters. Chair of the OIC group, Pakistani ambassador Masood Khan that some say too frequent special sessions will devalue the currency of the Human Rights Council.
