UN Report: Israel Must Immediately Dismantle Settlements or Face ICC
'Magnitude of violations relating to Israel's policies of
dispossessions, evictions, demolitions and displacements from land
shows the widespread nature of these breaches of human rights'
- Andrea Germanos, staff writer
Israel must immediately stop without preconditions all settlements,
"developed through a system of total segregation," which consistently
and on a daily basis violate the rights of Palestinians and are in
violation of the Geneva Convention, a UN report published Thursday
states.

findings are from the International Fact-Finding Mission on Israeli
Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory from the UN's Human
Rights Council (HRC), which notes that the illegal settlements,
through systemic abuses, violate Palestinians' right to
self-determination, and could lead Israel to face the International
Criminal Court.
"The magnitude of violations relating to Israel's policies of
dispossessions, evictions, demolitions and displacements from land
shows the widespread nature of these breaches of human rights," stated
Unity Dow of Botswana, who joined Christine Chanet, Judge of the Court
of Cassation of France and Asma Jahangir, leading Pakistani human
rights lawyer and Trustee of the Board of the UN Voluntary Fund on
Contemporary Forms of Slavery in the Mission.
"The motivation behind violence and intimidation against the
Palestinians and their properties is to drive the local populations
away from their lands, allowing the settlements to expand," she added.
The wicked ENDTIME- NOT the RIGHTEOUS!
