World should confront rogue zionist lawless regime

The world nations should get united to confront and contain the major conventional and nuclear threat of the wild Zionist regime, as its rogue leaders are hungry for disorder, lawlessness, tyranny, war and resultantly expansionism.Israeli forces raided homes of seven recently released prisoners as part of the October 18 exchange. Notices were sent to Akram Mansour, Shadi Zayid and Ibrahim Yasin. They were ordered to report to Israeli intelligence for questioning. In August 1979, Mansour was imprisoned for life. Before release, he participated in hunger strikes against harsh conditions for relief. Brain cancer's slowly killing him. Nael and Fakhri Barghouthi's homes were also raided. Interrogation orders followed. Before release, Nael was Israel's longest serving Palestinian prisoner, held since April 1978 for alleged involvement in armed resistance. Israel criminalized his heroism.Others affected included Adnan Zeid al-Kilani, Sumad Karaja, and Latuifa Abu Thiraa. Latuifa formerly was detained. Since June 1967, up to 700,000 Palestinians were imprisoned for wanting to live free in their own country on their own land in peace. Israel calls legitimate resistance terrorism. Anyone accused without evidence can be detained indefinitely, including harsh isolation for months or years to break them. Israel also announced that it continues to withhold Palestinian Authority (PA) tax revenue transfers. After accepting full UNESCO membership, they were blocked. About $100 million monthly is involved. They're vital funds PA officials need to operate, including to pay salaries to 150,000 employees. PLO official Saeb Erekat described Israel's "blackmailing, bullying and stealing" Palestinian money. Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz insisted on withholding funds as punishment for joining UNESCO and concluding (an unfulfilled) reconciliation agreement with Hamas. Over the weekend, Palestinian sources said Israeli soldiers clashed with dozens of Palestinians in Silwan in East Jerusalem. Tear gas canisters and concussion grenades were fired directly at protesters. Area homes were affected. Mahmoud Atiyya was kidnapped. On November 12, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said settler attacks rose 40% in 2011 compared to 2010. Dozens of injuries and extensive property damage resulted. Three Palestinians were killed, another 167 injured, and 127 more displaced. Over 10,000 olive trees were uprooted, damaged or destroyed. Settlers operate lawlessly with impunity. Even murder is never punished. On November 14, a Haaretz editorial headlined, "Israeli leaders choosing personal interests over law," said "government officials and prosecutors collaborate with thieves and lawbreakers. Rather than protecting Palestinian landowner rights, state attorneys continue foot-dragging on issues relating to lawlessly seized land." "This time, they asked the High Court to delay razing (illegal) structures for no less than 14 months." MKs and Netanyahu also want evacuating Givat Assaf built on private Palestinian land delayed, even though Justices ordered the outpost vacated by yearend. At the same time, Netanyahu wants lawless outposts legalized. MKs will consider another bill to restrict human rights groups like Peace Now and Yesh Din. They and others help Palestinians regain stolen property. The Knesset's Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved the measure Sunday. Worse still, political self-interest "ridicule(s) High Court" decisions, ignores rule of law issues, justice, and even their own Zionist community's interests. Even Zionist officials have said that "Netanyahu is practicing 'draconian laws'. Opposition leader Tzipi Livni said Israel is ruled by "draconian laws, in dark and under dictatorship." Livni - an Israeli - said according to the Israeli law "every government minister, even if he or she opposes the laws, is part of a system that is silencing the citizens", adding that the Zionist leaders accept no voice of opposition even if it comes from within the Zionist community. In fact, Israel has never been sane and democratic. Look at the Knesset, it is ruled by a bunch of extremist lunatics. No law is too outrageous to pass. Expect free expression to be criminalized and human rights work subverted.
