‘Following intense U.S. and Israeli pressure, the PA withdrew its hitherto strong support for the report at the beginning of the week. The UN Security Council vote has now been postponed until March next year.’
Israel had repeatedly warned the PA that if it continued to support Goldstone’s report it would withdraw permission for a second cellular telephone company to be established in the West Bank, an issue of critical economic importance to the PA leadership and to the civilian infrastructure of the West Bank.
Shalom Kital, an aide to Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak, said that Israel would not release a share of the radio frequency it had promised the PA unless the latter dropped its efforts to put Israeli soldiers and officers in the dock over the Gaza attacks.
“It’s a condition. We are saying to the Palestinians that if you want a normal life and are trying to embark on a new way, you must stop your incitement,” said Kital.
“We are helping the Palestinian economy but one thing we ask them is to stop with these embarrassing charges,” Kital added, referring to the UN war crime charges.
Israeli Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi also conditioned his support for the establishment of Wataniya, the second telephone company, on PA withdrawal of support for the Goldstone report and a possible UN resolution
Comment:
If this is not suppression of Human what else is?People who harp on Holocaust should remember that it it was precisely the same type of action Hitler started with,calling for Lebensraum Strom(living space) that led to hounding of Jews.Do Jews want to do this to the Palestinians?
If so, they forfeit the World’s sympathy for them and they have no moral right to moan over Final Solution.In what way the present action of Israel is different from Hitler’s?Because you control US, this audacity and arrogance!.One must remember to respect other human beings, especially those who have suffered the same indignity.
