UN condemns Christmas Eve demolitions of Palestinian homes by Israel

[super jumbe]

The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees has condemned Israel's demolition of Palestinian Bedouin dwellings in the West Bank, calling for an immediate halt.

"UNRWA condemns the latest demolitions in the West Bank, which displaced 68 people, the most recent of which occurred on Christmas Eve," spokesman Chris Gunness said in a statement.

?The demolitions took place in Ein Ayoub near Ramallah and Fasayil al-Wusta near Jericho in the Jordan valley with 61 persons displaced in Ein Ayoub, and seven persons, all refugees, displaced in Fasayil al-Wusta," Gunness said. He added that 32 of those displaced were children, "including a five year old girl who is paralyzed from the waist down."

?In addition, some 750 head of sheep and goats are without shelter at this crucial lambing season,? he said.

Gunness stated that at least 663 Palestinian buildings - including 259 homes - have been demolished, and 1,103 Palestinians have been displaced in the West Bank and East Jerusalem this year.

The spokesman urged Israel to obey international laws and halt demolitions.

They were not spared even on Christmas Eve look at that little boy left without roof.

We have RSPCA to rescue animals from cruelty and abuse, we also have United Nation.

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organisation created in 1945 to promote international cooperation.

A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organisation was created following World War II to prevent another such conflict.

Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

I do not think UN is fit for purpose; they should close it down when they have no power to stop human suffering, and no means of enforcing international laws to halt demolitions.

Who became Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair?

The UN has passed so many resolutions condemning Israel that you'd need a library to keep them in, however those countries which seem to leap on the Other nations at the drop of a hat don't bother when it comes to Israel. Israel is the only state in the area which will assist the US and UK if asked. Sadly the Palestinians pay the price for this and the west looks on, not giving a ck. it's a sad reflection on our country's forign policy, no matter which party is in power.

So teh next time a country breaks internationl law and our PM says we must take action, perhaps the question ought to be "and you pick the laws you enforce?"..

GastonJ you have a valid point there.

The United Nations is not a world government and it does not make laws. It does, however, provide the means to help resolve international conflicts and formulate policies on matters affecting all of us.

The United Nations has six main organs. Five of them ? the General Assembly,
The Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council and the Secretariat ? are based at UN Headquarters in New York.

The sixth, the International Court of Justice, is located at The Hague in the Netherlands.

I haven?t seen action to an international mechanism to impose accountability in the face of mass violations of human rights to the Palestinians.

Today, nearly every nation in the world belongs to the UN: membership totals 193 countries accept Palestine which is now in the process.

What have we learn from the UN and from the International Court of Justice, if your country is weak you will be bullied, and there is no such thing as the human rights when they talk about the law and order is all elution, when your country militarily powerful in the world you can get away with any thing, the point is when will UN ever take action???

1) Do they not have or use the 'Edit Resolution' button?
2) What help does Ingland or Emerica need?

They is a couple of small problems
a few of our MPs and the few in power in USA are of Jewish descent
during the six day war a vast amount of money went out of the city of London and New York to help pay for the war
so dont think which party is in they would not be able to do anything about it

Did the UN condemn the attacks on Christians on Christmas? How about the Muslim attacks in Mali and South Sudan? I have no pity for any Muslims in the world? With all the money the world spent in Palestine you would think the guy would of had a better home. Not some shack the big bad wolf could blow down.

The usual confused logic and glaring ignorance of historical perspective.
