Defence for Children International-Palestine Section (DCI/PS) strongly condemns the recent escalation of violence in Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, and expresses its grave concern about the life and safety of the civilian population, especially children, residing in Gaza. DCI/PS urges the international community to carry out prompt and effective interventions to stop Israel’s violations of International Humanitarian Law, some of which amount to grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention and entail individual criminal responsibility for war crimes.
PCHR Calls On the International Community to Prevent a Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza – The Centre reiterates that Palestinian civilians are protected from collective punishment under international human rights law, and international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.

I am ASHAMED of our fucking government, and the STUPID rushing to kiss Israel’s butt for “accusing” then of torture!
I think you never got to signing up to blogger to post on stop second holocaust. I will link to your blog for now.
I am kind of hiding from the blogging a bit, I feel i have been run over by a truck after Iran fiasco, but this is intolerable. Why don’t I hear any candians protesting in massive numbers? Maybe because I am sleeping, or that CBC is bought by the fucking B’nai birth!
Excuse me for using rude words. I don’t feel particularly dainty, I must say!
Best

Hi Naj! Thanks for visiting.
Re. “Stop the Second Holocaust”: I did send you a reply saying I would very much like being part of the project but did not receive a response. I shall try to find the email & resend it to you.
Re: Gaza protests. I’ll get back to you on that. Ramzy Baroud did a column on this issue. I need to re-read it. It is very relevant to your question.
Take care!
