Palestinian elections 2005 - Israeli style.
"Obstruction by Israel[edit]
The election campaign faced problems due to the widespread blockade of the Palestinian territories by the Israel Defense Forces. Despite Israel's assurances that it would do what it could to ensure that the election took place, in many instances Israeli forces actively interfered in the campaign.
Among reported incidents was the arrest of Mustafa Barghouti by Israeli forces and his subsequent expulsion from East Jerusalem when he was going to hold an election speech there. He was also prevented from entering Nablus and Gaza. Bassam al-Salhi, candidate for the socialist Palestinian People's Party, was also prevented from visiting East Jerusalem. Many of Abbas' opponents claimed that they were unfairly treated as Israel denied them entry to areas Abbas was allowed to visit during the election campaign. Abbas was the only candidate allowed access to Gaza.
Voter registration was hampered by closure of registration centers due to curfews, roadblocks and road closures. Registration staff and supervisors were detained. Israeli troops, used gas grenades and noise in the vicinity. A number of centers were raided.[1]
Particularly East Jerusalem was affected. Checking of the names of voters in the voters list was prevented. Also the polling was supervised by the Israeli postal authority. The votes were not counted at the polling centers themselves, but first transported to the Jerusalem electoral constituency office in Dahiyat al-Barid. [2] Voters were intimidated by recording the ID card numbers that were listed in the register and registration staff members were detained.[3]
There were difficulties in accessing polling stations. In Khan Younis Israeli soldiers opened fire against a school used as a polling station and by roadblocks prevented thousands of people from getting to the polling stations.[4]
The European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana criticized Israel for obstructing the Palestinian presidential election. He was quoted as saying that "We expected the Israelis to offer more facilities for the Palestinian election process but they did not live up to promises." [4]"

But there is a world of difference between the only democracy in a region which is rapidly reverting to open savagery and a terrorist organisation which has the complete destruction of a neighbouring country as the central plank of their constitution. But we will still see any Israeli response condemned by those useful idiots in the West who insist that Hamas is a legitimate, democratic organisation. It's not, it never has been and it doesn't want to be.

Professional ideologues, and those simply too stupid to make up their own mind, would have you believe that Hamas probably didn't do it, but if they did, they must have had a good reason. This is the kind of wilful ignorance – even the Palestinian security services agree that it was Hamas – that compels people to justify or explain the murders with counter-accusations and slurs before resorting to some nonsense about the IDF being as bad as the Nazis, and Israel being some of sort of Zionist, apartheid Fourth Reich.

Same piece (Irish Independent)

In fact, Israel must be the only country in the world which is expected to accept the execution of three of its citizens without doing everything within its power to eradicate those responsible. But then they are used to being asked to stoically accept atrocities without retaliating, because when they do push back they are then accused of being 'disproportionate' in their response. This ignores the fact that Hamas routinely launch their rockets into southern towns like Sderot from schoolyards in Gaza, safe in the knowledge that any retaliation will provide the kind of footage that fools people into believing the Israelis like nothing better than bombing schools.

Eighty rockets have fallen on their soil in the last month. Would we expect any other country to sit on their fingers, hoping that the brave freedom fighters of Hamas will simply become bored and return to their mosques?

These are the questions which Israel's oh-so-liberal opponents need to ask themselves – does Israel encourage its citizens to strap on suicide belts and get on a bus? Does Israel execute gay people or women who wear immodest dress? Does Israel openly call for the destruction of another country and the genocide of its citizens? (And, in a case of business before pleasure, Hamas openly declares that they will first kill those Palestinians who have made a life for themselves across the border.)

Do opposing factions of the Knesset openly kill each other on the streets, as we saw Hamas do to members of their rival Fatah?

"An IDF spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny the report."

Precisely why it is so difficult to give credence to the utterings and the integrity of Israeli sources.

The murder of the three Israeli kids is an atrocity and those responsible should suffer the severest penalty, IF, and only IF, the Israelis mete out the same to the murderer(s) of the Palestinian kid in East Jerusalem.

As yet, there is no evidence that Hamas had any part in the former, nor evidence that Israel (in the form of the IDF) had any part in the latter.

Yet Israeli apologists will insist that the former was a Hamas atrocity, while the latter was a misguided individual unconnected with the Israeli government, or army.

YEAH! YEAH! We hear it all the time. Only Israeli Law is to be considered valid, backed by stupid Yanks.

Prat! For your 50 to carry a vote, it would require no more than 49 voting against. In other words 93 abstainers, which is ridiculous.

So there would have to be more non Muslim majority states voting WITH your 50, than AGAINST.

No Greg at least not in Israel where political parties of more than one persuasion are allowed to stand for election, but even with the vote in a democratic process in Israel the coalitions formed look to Israel's security first and foremost.

Now in "Palestine" on the other hand even on the rare occasions that they have elections the results tend to be ignored and the side with the most firepower in the area wins and having got into power then find reasons to cancel all future elections.

An attempt was made to kidnap a younger brother the previous morning!

"However, Nussbaum said, police were quite definitive that another call the family made to police on Tuesday turned out not to be the emergency the Abu Khadrs claimed it was. On Tuesday, police said, the mother called police to say that "settlers" had tried to kidnap her younger son. She said that individuals had stopped a car in front of her house where she was sitting with her son, and that they tried to grab him. She managed to hold onto him, she said, and they left, at which point she called police.

Officers arrived a few minutes later to take her statement, in which she said "settlers" had tried to kidnap her son, but could give no details. However, a few minutes later the father arrived, and he disputed his wife, saying that it was Arabs who tried to kidnap the son."

"It has yet to be determined if it was a revenge killing for the Jewish boys"
Just as it is yet to be determined who killed those boys - hasn't stopped the lynch mobs though.
Despite this fact, since their disappearance "nine Palestinians were killed, two died of heart attack when the army raided their houses, tens were injured, many were orphaned, 640 were arrested, and families saw their homes demolished by the Israeli army."
Hardly "Israel must be the only country in the world which is expected to accept the execution of three of its citizens without doing everything within its power to eradicate those responsible" - as you put up.
It is hardly surprising that the rocket attacks have increased, given the overkill (in every sense) that is taking place at the present time.
There is a great deal of confusion surrounding the claimed attempted kidnapping of the Palestinian boy - hardly surprising in the circumstances - but you seem to have made up your mind on that one as well

By the way - I find your link from an extremist Zionist publication which has been refused a license from the Israeli Government fairly despicable.
To claim that the murdered Palestinian boy came from a "troubled family" and his death was likely to be "a criminal act", and to head the article with a photograph of a boy throwing stones (totally unconnected to the victim), is about as manipulative as it gets, and in the present circumstances, extremely inflammatory.

"You would conceal any such information?"
There is no such "information" - today's reports of the funeral are still calling it a revenge attack, the parents of the boy called it a revenge attack, The John Kerry has deplored it as a revenge attack, The Times of Israel has said it is probably a revenge attack, witnesses saw the boy being bundled into a car by settlers.....
Whatever it turns out to be, as it stands at present, it is overwhelmingly regarded as a revenge attack - so what do you do?
You produce a statement from a minor official published in a paper that is even beyond the pale for the Israeli government, claiming that it was an act of criminals and blaming the victim's 'dysfunctional' family.
You have surpassed even yourself her by putting up "information" claiming that "Israel didn't do it", even before they get round to doing so themselves - which they possibly will.
Maybe you should give that nice Nessie-the-Yahoo a quick call telling him to call off the investigation because the real villain has been found.

What the **** is an "honor killing" - gang warfare, an irate father... it certainly isn't the "revenge killing" that is under discussion.
No explanation, no 'dysfunctional family" - no "criminal act" just a an unqualified headline.
Today, at the funeral, the parents were still blaming the killing on Israeli extremists and a article discussing CCTV footage of the kidnap was still heralding it as a revenge killing.
There are no press or news reports tonight to claim otherwise - I have little doubt if any contrary information has been forthcoming Gatestone, et al would be crowing it from the rooftops - it is still being treated as a "revenge killing" both on the news and on the net.

I use the term Zionism in the same way others use 'Islamism' - if one is offensive, both are.
I certainly have no ill-feelings to the idea of a homeland for the Jewish people, though I baulk at the idea of that homeland being exclusively Jewish - an apartheid state.
Perhaps a prefix 'extremist' might be a way not to give offence - happy to oblige.

I appreciate, Jim, that you intended no offence. It's just that "Zionism" is a term, & a concept, with a complex history & multiple possible connotations, and so IMO best avoided in the interests of clarity, and an alternative found if possible. "Israeli militancy", say, might be used instead. The Israelis are sure-as-hell a militant lot...

The fool a couple of posts back, who appeared to denounce Jesus as "a tiresome git" because he can't control his own sentences, is best ignored.

In fact, looking again, I find he is one I have already resolved to ignore, but forgot to read the name at the top for once. Must be more careful!

You're kidding, right? You can't be THAT much of an illiterate, or are you simply an idiot?

In fact, looking again, I find he is one I have already resolved to ignore,

Ooops.

Well. ~M~, It's just that "Islamism" is a term, & a concept, with a complex history & multiple possible connotations, and so IMO best avoided in the interests of clarity, and an alternative found if possible.

Palestinians are being beaten up by Jewish Settlers, at least one Palestinian per day.
Too many Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel today. This is done in the name of Zionism.
BDS will continue to grow as these atrocities are being uncovered. Gaza is still an open air prison and Israeli laws have curtailed the day to day rights of the Palestinian people.

It transpires that the Haaratz "honour" killing used by Keith to defend his gutter posting, refers to a rumour spread by the police that the victim was killed by the family of a girl he had supposedly 'dishonoured'.
The same police spread the rumour that he was gay.
"Israeli police falsely report missing Palestinian by was gay, flooding social media with disinformation
Tikun Olam 2 July by Richard Silverstein — Yesterday night, I noticed several Israeli Facebook users infecting my feed with false claims that Mohamed Abu Khdeir, the 16 year-old who was murdered by suspected Jewish terrorists, was killed in an honor crime because he was gay. With the help of an Israeli friend, I traced the rumor to, of all places, the Israeli police (Hebrew). They leaked (Hebrew) this false information to the media, which dutifully reported it as if it was true (it wasn't). The police claim (made anonymously of course) that it had "information" Abu Khdeir was gay was false. But this calumny spread like the wind, and a credulous Israeli public eager to believe the worst of Palestinians and refusing to take any responsibility for their own brethren spilling the blood of a Palestinian, took to social media like a raging plague and spread this bile everywhere."
The inquest on his body has shown that he was burned alive
