Take Yasser arafat to the int'l court
by Dotan Friday August 16, 2002 at 12:53 PM

To: United Nations Human Rights Commission Mrs. Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

An historian said "evil prevails when good people keep silent"

WHEREAS, the Genocide Convention, a binding multilateral treaty that codified post-Nuremberg norms and entered into force in 1951, the sorts of acts currently advocated by Yasser Arafat and company qualify precisely as genocide.

WHERAS, the Fatah organization in public announcements, broadcasts and evidenced on its website calls openly for the "eradication" of Israel.

WHERAS, this call echoes earlier genocidal codifications in the still unchanged Palestinian National Charter, in Fatah's ongoing calls for Inqirad mujtama (the extinction of Israeli society), and in the Charter of Hamas ("There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad.... I swear by that who holds in His Hands the Soul of Muhammad! I indeed wish to go to war for the sake of Allah! I will assault and kill, assault and kill, assault and kill.")

WHERAS, Under international law, PLO/Hamas calls for the killing of Jews - whether indirectly in Jihad or directly through mass murder - constitute calls for genocide.

AND WHEREAS; The International Genocide Convention criminalizes not only the various acts of genocide, but also in (Article III) conspiracy to commit genocide and direct and public incitement to commit genocide. Articles II, III and IV of the Genocide Convention are fully applicable in all cases of direct and public incitement to commit genocide.

AND WHEREAS; For the Convention to be invoked, it is sufficient that any one of the State parties call for a meeting, through the United Nations, of all the State parties (Article VIII).

WE, the undersigned, as members of civilized humanity, call urgently on Mrs. Mary Robinson to set up a committee to investigate the involvement of Yasser Arafat in crimes of genocide, crimes of conspiracy to commit genocide and war crimes against humanity according to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the General Assembly resolutions 260, 2391, 3074 and Security Council resolution 1296 of United Nations, on behalf of the victims of acts of terror, murder, injury, kidnapping by the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Palestinian Authority, Hamas and other such organizations influenced either directly or indirectly by Yasser Arafat.

UN's resolutions have made it clear that the perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and War Crimes should be prosecuted and duly punished.

Offences commited at the direction of Yasser Arafat span from events such as the "Munich Massacre" to the latest atrocity against humanit, the "Tel-Aviv Bombing" The offences are too numureous to detail in full in this petition. Highlites of the most recent offences by Yasser Arafat are offered as follows.


Torture of persons under the rule of Yassir Arafat.

At least 16 Palestinian Arab dissidents have been tortured to death by
the PA police, according to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Suppression of Political Dissent by use of force. Critics of the regime are silenced-- Prof. Fathi Subil suggested to his university students in Gaza that they write papers about corruption in the PA regime; the next day, PA policemen broke his legs.


Ethnic Cleansing through acts of terror, arrest and intimidation.

Arafat demands that every Jew be evicted from Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and large sections of Jerusalem. He refuses to accept the idea of Jews
living in the same neighborhood --even the same city-- as Arabs. Arabs are forbidden by PA law from selling property to Israeli Jews. The law implemented by the PA under the direction of Yasser Arafat provides for the death penalty to the seller and those involved in the transaction.
Jews have been taken off the streets in Arab controlled areas and placed in interrogation at gunpoint for no other reason then they are Jews. Daily gunfire attacks have been instigated and waged against Jews living in proximity to Arabs in an attempt to "ethnically cleanse the area of Jews" The result of the policy of "ethnic cleansing" in the Arab areas is that no longer are Jews able to live in towns that have been there traditional homes for century's.


Religious freedom attacked with the Burning and Destruction of Holy Sites.

Jewish holy sites have been destroyed by Yasser Arafat controlled PA; mobs aided by PA policemen burned down the Tomb of Joseph last October, 2000 and then rebuilt it as a mosque; a few days later, they burned down the ancient Shalom al-Yisrael synagogue in Jericho, and prevented Israeli fire trucks from reaching the scene.


Organized Pogrom against Jews.

May 19, 2001 a group of Islamic leaders confirmed that Yasser Arafat has engaged in a systematic "Pogrom" against Jews. The Declaration of the Majlis al-Ulema (Council of Scholars) of the Italian Muslim Association condemns The Egyptian from Alexandria (alias "Yasser Arafat", previous alias "Abdul Rauf el-Codbi el-Husseini"), and his associated thugs and murderers, for the Philistine Authority Pogrom that they have unleashed on both the Children of Israel and the Children of Ishmael living in the Land of Israel.

Qadi Abu Ibrahim Ali al-Siddiqi serves as President of the Italian Muslim Association Majlis al-Ulema (Council of Scholars). Sheikh Imam Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi, also a member of the Italian Muslim Association Majlis al-Ulema (Council of Scholars), serves as Italian Muslim Association Secretary General;

The Internationally recognized terrorist organization; Hamas confirms it is united together with Yasser Arafat and his PA.

HAMAS's Sheikh Mahmoud Zahar on the relationship between the PLO and the HAMAS: "Like the wings of a bird, they work together." Jibril Rajub, the Chief of Internal Security for Yasser Arafat in mid September 1994 stated, "I stress that there are "blood ties and single fate" between the PLO and the HAMAS".

Regarding ties with PLO, the Hamas Charter says the following: "The PLO is among the closest to the Hamas, for it constitutes a father, a brother, a relative a friend." On the primacy of hatred toward Judaism, not Israel, the Charter states: "Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish, and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims." War and genocide need not be mutually exclusive. The Palestinian preparations for a Final Battle with "The Jews" are not only for an indispensable and unavoidable war, but also - ultimately - for the extermination of an entire People.

U.S. ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk stated on July 4, 2001 that Yasir Arafat "never really gave up violence." He went on to say as quoted in the Jerusalem Post, Oslo accords were "a noble endeavor," but eight years later, "you have to say that the exercise failed." Indyk said Arafat "was not sincere" when he claimed to give up violence at the signing of the accords in 1993, and he "never really gave up violence as a tool to achieving his objectives." Indyk told the Jerusalem Post (July 4, 2001)

Now the time has come, all evidences and documents are gathered and ready to set up an investigation committee in order to bring Yasser Arafat and those responsible with him to justice before a duly recognized court of international law.

May justice prevail and may the world be free of the tyranny of terror.

I totally agree

Arafat kill a lot of innocent when he give money to the terrorist who blow themselve for kill baby on the bus and on the restaurant
ARAFAT SHOULD BE ON A TRIAL FOR MURDER
PALESTINIEN PEOPLE NEED A NEW LEADERSHIP TO BRING PEACE

Crimes de guerre israéliens
by R.B. Friday August 16, 2002 at 02:35 PM

l'armée isaélienne vient d'assassiner un enfant paelstinien de 5 ans. Par erreur, parait-il. L'armée israélienne utilise des boucliers humains palestiniens (qu'il lui arrive de tuer au passage) avec l'absolution de ses chefs.
sharon est un criminel de guerre depuis de très longues années
Israêl, ses colons et les milices des colons, n'en finisent pas d'exercer meurtrres et exactions à l'encontre des palestiniens
Les colonisations n'en finisssent pas depuis près d'un demi siècle
Les destructions de maisons et de cultures palestiniennes non plus par la grâce des israéliens
On vole la terre des uns et des autres - aujourd'hui encore - histoire de construire "une route de contournement à Gaza pour assurer la sécurité des colons". Tant pis pour le propriétaire palestinien.
Quant aux chefs historiques d'Israël ils ont tous pratiqué le terrorisme dans leur jeunesse (Irgoun, Lehi, groupe Stern)
Aussi, quandon jugera Arafat, il sera en très bonne (et nombreuse) compagnie

Et les autres?
by Mme C Friday August 16, 2002 at 02:42 PM

Et Bush, Sharon, ... ? Le tribunal international ressemble plus à un tribunal des vainqueurs qui jugent les vaincus!

Tribunal International de quoi?

D'accord avec Mme C.
Le Tribunal Pénal International et ce type d'institution pseudo neutre et juste sont des créations et des marionettes des grandes puissances.

Le TPI sur la Yougoslavie a immédiatement rejeté toute accusation de 'crime de guerre' commis par l'OTAN ... Malgré le bombardement avéré et intentionel de colonnes de réfugiés, l'utilisation d'armes chimiques et nucléaires (Uranium Appauvri), d'armes interdites par les traités (bombe à fragmentation), les bombardement d'hôpitaux et de journalistes (la RTS à Belgrade: 16 morts), etc, etc, etc ...

Ces tribunaux ne sont que des théâtres guignolesques au service de l'OTAN. Même si un véritable criminel y était trainé, je ne suis pas sûr que l'ont pourrait vraiment se réjouir.

Pour le reste, le texte de Dotan est pitoyable. Il parle de génocide à tout boût de champs, je suppose que si l'on utilise ce terme à l'encontre de l'armée Israëlienne, il nous lancera à la face que l'on ne peut utiliser ce terme à la légère. =^_^=

PTB et CPI

Le PTB n'aime pas beaucoup les tribunaux internationaux car pas mal de leurs copains pourraient (ou auraient pu) y passer...

Yerodia, Kabila etc...

"les dictats des grandes puissances"...
by . Friday August 16, 2002 at 05:43 PM

C'est ça "ne pas accepter les dictats des grandes puissances" ?

"La mission conjointe chargée d'enquêter sur les allégations de massacres et autres questions touchant les droits de l'homme et découlant de la situation qui a régné à l'est du Zaïre (1) à partir de septembre 1996 a été créée par la Commission des droits de l'homme aux termes du paragraphe 6 de sa résolution 1997/58.
(...)

Les faits exposés constituent-ils des crimes contre l'humanité ?

8. Sur ce point, la mission a indiqué dans son rapport ce qui suit : "De l'avis de la mission conjointe, le concept de crimes contre l'humanité pourrait également s'appliquer à la situation qui a régné et qui continue de régner dans la République démocratique du Congo" (par. 88)
(...)

MENACES PROFEREES CONTRE DES PERSONNES AYANT COOPERE AVEC L'ORGANISATION DES NATIONS UNIES

16. Aussi bien le Rapporteur spécial de la Commission des droits de l'homme sur la situation des droits de l'homme dans l'ex-Zaïre que la mission conjointe ont reçu plusieurs informations faisant état d'actes d'intimidation, d'arrestations et d'autres atteintes aux droits de l'homme ayant pour auteurs des responsables de l'AFDL et les autorités de la République démocratique du Congo, et
dirigés contre ceux qui ont coopéré avec l'Equipe d'enquête désignée par le Secrétaire général (de l'ONU)"

Et le procès de Nuremberg, aussi "la justice des vainqueurs"? Et le procès Eichmann?

arafat is a terrorist
by Justice Friday August 16, 2002 at 09:14 PM

STRONGLY agree with this petition and i refuse to acknowledge the peace prize that yasser arafat was awarded in 1992. This prize, awarded to a terrorist who places no value on jewish life is an abomination. More so, it is horribly sad that the un CHOOSES to ignore the fact that arafat, his government, his so-called policemen and many among his people are all terrorist and murderers. How ironic, however, that the UN chooses to investigate the very people who are being terrorized and victimized for being jewish. It is equally ''funny'" that the UN's chooses to ignore the atrocities that the palestinians teach their children in schools. If a jewish school would teach any of the atrocities that these textbooks teach (such as ''allah orders you to kill Jews through suicide bombings), the UN would not only close down these institutions but accuse the israeli government of perpetrating murder. Why does the UN choose to purposely ignore the Palestinians horrible human rights violations? WHY?
