U.N. Report: Jews are Terrorists,
Not Palestinians
Jewish settlers are terrorizing
Palestinians with impunity, attacking children on their way to school and
destroying farmers' trees and crops, a U.N. expert on the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict said in a report.
John Dugard, a South African lawyer, called
the withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip last summer
a positive step. But the Jewish state effectively controls Gaza through
targeted killings and sonic booms from warplanes flying over the region,
Dugard said in a report prepared ahead of next week's annual meeting of the
53-member U.N. Human Rights Commission.
Itzhak Levanon, Israel's U.N.
ambassador in Geneva, rejected Dugard's allegations as "misinformed and
inaccurate."
Dugard's report "is guided by a clear political agenda,
and bears little relation either to the facts or existing principles of
international law," Levanon said in an e-mailed statement to The Associated
Press.
Israel has previously rejected Dugard's reports on the
Palestinian-Israeli dispute as being one-sided, noting that he has been
assigned only to investigate violations by the Israeli side.
Dugard
said settler violence has been particularly egregious in the West Bank city of
Hebron. His 22-page report made no reference to Palestinian terrorism, but
said Hebron settlers "terrorize the few Palestinians that have not left the
old city and assault and traumatize children on the way to school."
"It seems that settlers are able to terrorize Palestinians and destroy
their trees and crops with impunity," Dugard said, adding that he himself was
a victim of settler abuse while visiting the city in June 2005.
Dugard
prepares regular reports for the U.N.'s human rights watchdog during visits to
the region, but receives no cooperation from the Israeli government.
Next week's meeting comes as U.N. member states debate replacing the
discredited Human Rights Commission with a new body. The commission has been
widely criticized for allowing some of the worst rights-offending countries to
use their membership to shield each other from condemnation.
Dugard
filed his report before Hamas won Palestinian elections in January and made no
mention of the Islamic militant group, which is sworn to Israel's destruction
and refuses to renounce violence.
The report "ignores the fact that
the Hamas, considered as a terrorist organization by the family of nations,
controls the Palestinian authority and disregards the enormous efforts done by
Israel to fight this terrorism while preserving humanitarian law and human
rights," Levanon said.
Dugard said Israel's actions in Gaza violated
the Geneva Conventions on warfare, which forbid "all measures of intimidation
or of terrorism" against civilians in time of war.
In the first three
months after the Gaza withdrawal, targeted assassinations by Israeli defense
forces in the territory killed 18 civilians and injured 81, in addition to
killing 15 militants.
Palestinians have launched rockets from Gaza
against southern Israeli towns, and Israel has retaliated with artillery fire
and airstrikes.
Hamas has observed a yearlong moratorium on suicide
and shooting attacks. But Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz warned Tuesday
that Hamas leaders, including the incoming Palestinian prime minister, will
not be immune from pinpointed Israeli killings if the group were to resume
attacks.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
