By permitting Jewish residence in the West Bank, is Israel ignoring international law? Ruth Gavison, a law professor at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, seems to thinks so . Gavison criticized the report issued last year by former Israeli Supreme Court Justice Edmund Levy which affirmed the legality of building under international law. Yet, the law was clear long before Justice Levy produced his report: the territory of the West Bank was earmarked for Jewish settlement in 1920 at the San Remo Conference that drafted the League of Nations Charter. This decision, enshrined in the British Mandate for Palestine that shortly followed, has never been superseded by an internationally binding agreement. The 1947 UN partition plan, which sought to create Arab and Jewish states, could have been such an agreement, but it was rejected by the Arabs. Being a General Assembly resolution, the plan had no legal force of its own. In contrast, the 1993 Oslo Accords do possess legal force but, but as these contain no prohibition on the existence and growth of these Jewish communities, Jewish rights remain unimpaired. Whether one supports or opposes Jewish residence in the West Bank, all should be able to agree on this. Yet Gavison laments, "The courts have never addressed the significance and ramifications of the injunction against an occupying state transferring its population into conquered territories." The injunction to which she refers is Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits "Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not." It also ordains that "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." The reason Israeli courts have not addressed Article 49's applicability is straightforward - Palestinians are not being deported or forcibly transferred from the West Bank to another territory. Jews are not being deported or transferred from Israel to the West Bank; they are moving there freely of their own will. Moreover, the Fourth Geneva Convention deals only with territories belonging to a sovereign power. In contrast, the West Bank, illegally seized by Jordan in 1948and captured by Israel following Jordanian attack in 1967, remains unallocated territory under international law. Only Israeli annexation or an Arab-Israeli agreement on its status could alter this - something that has not occurred. Accordingly, Article 49 has no bearing on the situation. Why has Gavison ignored the decisive legal and commonsensical objections to criminalizing Jewish residence in the West Bank? Because she is a proponent of a perversion of international legal norms which holds that voluntary Jewish settlement in the West Bank amounts to illegal "transfer." On what basis? Gavison refers to a recent report on behalf of the UN Human Rights Council - a body Gavison herself admits is "biased, anti-Israel" - which condemned Jewish settlements as "illegal." In her opinion, however, its view is valid, because it represents "the maturation of a prolonged process" which goes back to the 1998 Rome Treaty that established the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC, Gavison claims, "had the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in mind when choosing the wording of this definition" outlawing transfer of populations as a war crime. Naturally, this makes no sense. First, there has been no binding legal decision affirming this novel interpretation of the law. Second, arbitrary redefinition of a peremptory legal norm - such as a war crime - is a dangerously undemocratic procedure that clashes with the traditionally consensual nature of international law considered necessary to state sovereignty. There was a time when a war crime was understood to mean such things as murdering enemy civilians or putting them to forced labor in camps. Now, according to Gavison's Kafkaesque process of legal alchemy, it can mean residence in the West Bank - if one is an Israeli Jew. Yet, as absurd as the idea is, Gavison points to something nonetheless real that highlights a general problem for free societies, not merely Israel: time does tend to work in favor of processes of legal perversion, when new, sometimes scarcely-known, treaties or "norms" are increasingly given standing by transnational forums and courts with little interest or sympathy for the values and interests of free societies. The day arrives thus when a new legal fact has been created, no matter how absurd or noxious. In respect of Article 49, that day hasn't arrived, but Palestinian agitprop is working on it. Therefore, it is not enough for Israel to restate the law. It must explore avenues old and new - commissioning authoritative legal opinions, working to obtain a US Congressional resolution on the subject, seeking repudiation by democratic governments of the mangling of Article 49, detailed refutation of each and every contrary assertion by governments and international organizations, to name several - to prevent today's absurdity becoming tomorrow's settled law.

When returning to the apartment, Darko suggested I nap a while so I did. I don't remember what time it was when Darko knocked on my door waking me up. He informed me we were heading out soon to meet up with a friend of his named, Sharko, he wanted to introduce me. We left Darko's apartment after dusk and about ten minutes later parked nearby a beautiful green park lined with trees along the river, somewhere in Beograd. Uncertain exactly where we were going, I allowed Darko and Bojana to lead. Strolling down the narrow paved path a few feet wide cutting into a grassy hill, we headed directly towards a boat restaurant. Traversing the small shaky wooden bridge, we boarded. The place was empty; we were the only persons present besides one waitress. We sat as follows; Darko and Bojana sat next to each other as in American restaurant booth's and I sat alone across vis-`a-vis. The boat itself was very luxurious resembling the interior of several large boats formerly owned by the late Aristotle Onassis. I have several books on Aristotle Onassis so I have seen photos of the interior of his large boats. The waitress came over to take our order; there was no menu. We verbally told her which libation we wanted; as she walked away Sharko came in. Sharko was Ratko Mladic; he wore old faded blue jeans sagging a bit around his waist. I wasn't scared at all. When first shaking hands with Mr. Mladic I thought quietly, this couldn't possibly be happening; but it in objective reality it was really happening. I've met many interesting people since graduating WPUNJ in New Jersey in 1997. I personally coined the term, extreme sociologist which I consider myself. I may not be rich, but achieved my scholarly goals notwithstanding either FDU or the New School for Social Research in Manhattan dismissing me from their graduate study programs. Since completing my undergraduate degree, I've desired to better understand our world by meeting with and talking with the world's most controversial individuals. I believe in traveling to hidden and seemingly remote places around the world, partaking in local cultural activities for better understanding wherefore people behave as they do. Mladic first seated himself across from me, in a separate chair the right of Darko. The waitress returned asking Mladic what he preferred to drink; he ordered expensive wine saying jokingly it was "two hundred dollars a bottle," smiling. I was already drinking an alcoholic beverage of some sort I can't remember along with Bojana. Darko rarely drank and sipped on something non-alcoholic. Extolling me to Mladic, Darko explicated whereby I was the only American college student standing firm on grave issues pertaining to international justice insofar, the NATO and the former Yugoslavia. Darko finished boasting about me to Mladic after which I in an extremely forceful forthright manner explained to Mladic my political views insofar as NATO's breaching international law by launching military aggression against the former Yugoslavia, by bombing the Chinese embassy in Beograd, and, by purposely bombing other civilian targets in Serbia and Montenegro in 1999. I have a film of when NATO bombed a newborn baby hospital unit in Beograd; disgraceful! Mladic seemed impressed with my viewpoints on war and peace. He was very warm friendly man; very relaxed and laid back. He smiled the entirety we were chilling out just enjoying each other's company and drink. Hanging out with Mladic was no different than chilling with my other friends back in America. I ordered another drink with Darko's disapproval. As aforementioned, Darko strongly disdained mind altering substances, always trying to help me overcome my craving for them. Then, Mladic opened his wallet, showing me photos of his wife and children; he had a very attractive family as portrayed in his wallet sized photos. I think he missed them, perhaps empathizing to the loss I felt being estranged with my own two children for so many agonizing years. Like General Mladic, I possess very few photos of my own children. The photos Mladic had in his wallet were obviously very old because his children were still very young in the pictures. It was evident he didn't have any recent photos of his family in many years; I sympathized with him in this respect. After reminiscing over family photos he got up sitting next to me across from Darko and Bojana. I let him hold my hand gently massaging it. He kissed my hand, inviting me to spend the night with him in the hills of Beograd; I declined on account of my strong Orthodox Christian theological convictions. I admit Mladic having warm inviting hands and greatly enjoying the manner in which he touched me. I did consider him an attractive man; yet as aforementioned I declined his invitation. He accepted my decision although he did ask me again; again I replied the same answer. It was getting late and I was departing Serbia the following day in the afternoon. Still sipping my drink, I began urging Darko to return to America with me making a life for himself teaching as a professor at a university. In retrospect, I now feel tremendous guilt and shame because of my advances towards Darko owing to Bojana my best friend sitting there with me vis-`a-vis. Feeling a bit tipsy from drinking, Mladic continued making sexual advances towards urging me to go home with him. Darko laughed seemingly thinking Mladic's advances towards me were cute stating, "go ahead Jill, spend the night with Sharko, it's fine...Sharko's a good friend of mine...don't worry if you want to...I promise you'll not miss your flight back to America tomorrow..." I continued declining the advances and when it became obvious I wouldn't change my mind, Darko said we had to leave because I had to finish packing for my flight and get a good nights sleep. We all departed identically to boarding the boat restaurant, crossing the small narrow wooden bridge; Sharko/ Mladic departed with us. After exiting, Mladic and I stood in front of the boat restaurant for several minutes. I began crying because I loved Serbia not wanting to leave the next day. Mladic pulled me close to him and embracing me, he kissed both my cheeks. I kissed his cheeks also embracing him. In examining photos online of the Topcider Serbian military barracks in Beograd recently, the photo scenes look identical to where I met Ratko that night. Even the photos of the trees, walkways and benches/Gazebo and river where we met look exactly the same. I remember the shape of the trees there that night even. The scene that night when we met looks very much identical as seen in the newly released Mladic home videos. I wonder if Mladic did not have any security when he met me because Darko had brought me in the Topcider military barracks to meet Mladic that night; I believe he did. I would not have known the difference since it seemed merely a beautiful park. Darko and Bojana were walking ahead towards the car leaving me and Mladic alone. Knowing, I'd continue crying, I broke our embrace saying "goodbye." Mladic promised to visit me the next day dressed in his full military uniform before I left Serbia. I didn't want to part; but I did. I saw Darko and Bojana walking towards their car up the grassy hill and followed. I walked briskly catching up with them; I was exhausted and still had to finish packing back at Darko's apartment. Once more I turned and saw Mladic drive away in an old brown Mercedes Benz on its left front side. I was surprised to see it was scratched and slightly dented. Arriving back at Darko's place, I completed preparations for departing the following day and fell fast asleep. The next day I woke up around mid morning feeling depressed so I went for a walk to a local store picking up some things. Returning to Darko's, we were standing outside his apartment discussing something when I turned seeing Mladic approaching me in full military regalia. We shook hands glad seeing each other. Of all photos I've seen online, Mladic never looked better than he did then. His military uniform was clean, ironed and he wore every military metal ever earned it seemed to me. He was as honorably decorated as any of the American Joint Chief's of Staff; even wearing his gold colored in sigma upon his green military cap. He had many gold colored metals hanging from his uniform on the left side by his chest. I was privileged to see him this way; I confess being impressed. I was surprised to say the very least. Darko said to stand next to Mladic insisting on snapping some photos of the two of us. Mladic placed his arm around my shoulder and I his; we both smiled as Darko snapped some photos. When finished Mladic presented me with a gift. The book I posted online for you all to view, signing it to me under the alias name, Sharko thanking me for beautiful times spent together in Beograd. We embraced and he left as Darko interjected saying we had to hurry to the airport before I miss my flight. Book Given To me By General Mladic Book Given To me By General Mladic Darko's German friend delivered me back to Beograd airport the same manner as picked up. There was little time, my flight was actually locking the gate and about to depart without me. Darko ran up to someone important showing his governmental badge as I recall, asking them to hold the flight until I board. There was hardly time for JAT to weigh my luggage; they did however inform me it weighed over the limit allowed. Darko said there was no time to be picky about what I was bringing back to the States ; I obeyed leaving one full suitcase behind with him as to not miss my flight. Quickly helped me through customs and the gate, I tried prolonging our goodbye. Darko didn't want seeing him cry and urged me on as the Serbian flight attendant waved me to hurry. The gate was closed up and I had to run with my carry on to board the plane. One last time I turned briefly to see Darko; he tried hiding the tears swelling in his eyes as I. I took my seat on the JAT flight back home to America. Upon reaching JFK my luggage was lost and it was delivered over the weekend to my home in Bloomingdale New Jersey.

Latest Update: 10.12.10 Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni continued Tuesday to harshly slam Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, accusing them of reckless conduct. "We've become a powerful economy and that's good, yet it seems to me this prompts the leadership to assume risks that we shouldn't be taking," she said. "It's irresponsible to say that because we have a strong economy, let's kick the whole world as if we don't need them." Speaking at a socioeconomic conference organized by the Industry, Trade and Employment Ministry, Livni blasted the government's conduct and the foreign policy conducted by Lieberman: "It's irresponsible to create a crises with the United States just to avert the small risk of a domestic political crisis here. We worked hard on upgrading our ties with Europe, and here comes a foreign minister who conducts himself in a wholly reckless situation vis-`a-vis the European ministers he hosts." "Those who behave this way do not conduct themselves in the state's interests," she said. During a dinner meeting on Sunday, Lieberman told France's Bernard Kouchner and Spain's Miguel Angel Moratinos to "solve your own problems in Europe before you come to us with complaints. Maybe then I will be open to accepting your suggestions." Lieberman emphasized to Kouchner and Moratinos that "Israel will not be the Czechoslovakia of 2010," at their meeting at the foreign ministry offices in Jerusalem. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert carried a speech to the same effect at the conference, calling on Netanyahu to stop "fighting with the entire world". "Do you think it is possible to fight with the entire world, insult the entire world, and then enjoy this country's economic achievements?" he wondered. "When I was prime minister we held negotiations without freezing construction, but we came to the table with a daring peace plan." Olmert said Netanyahu should agree to a US demand for 60 additional days without construction in West Bank settlements. "The president of the United States, our great friend, is telling us to agree to two more months of a freeze. Doesn't logic and our common sense justify giving this country two more months because we see the strategic considerations?" he asked. "A foreign policy that contributes to international isolation may do inescapable economic damage," he concluded. Defense Minister Ehud Barak also addressed the political situation, saying that "the negotiations with the Palestinians are an opportunity for a historic change that must not be missed. The leaders on both sides, and mostly here, must conduct themselves responsibly," he said. Referring to Livni, who spoke before him, he said: "We proved in the past that we're strong when we're united, and this hour requires unity. I'm calling for expanding the government in order to boost the support basis for the path of negotiations. This call is directed both at the prime minister as well as at the person who spoke here before me." http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3968294,00.html http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/livni-to-lieberman-israel-s-strong-economy-is-no-excuse-for-rude-diplomacy-1.318660 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=764_1286914233 aydeo Livni and Olmert slams Netanyahu government conduct vis-`a-vis world opposition leader, Livni,Olmert,slams , Lieberman,Netanyahu, conduct Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:13:09 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e6b_1359475305 aydeo Outgoing US secretary of state expresses hope for peace in Middle East following Israeli recent elections. * London's Al-Quds Al-Arabi says Hamas politburo chief is planning to vie for leadership of Palestinian Liberation Organization --- Last week's parliamentary elections in Israel open new avenues for Middle East peace and the United States will pursue potential opportunities, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday. "I actually think that this election opens doors, not nails them shut," she told an assembly in Washington that was broadcast worldwide. She noted that the result of the January 22 vote had shown that "a significant percentage of the Israeli electorate had expressed the need to take a different path, both on the domestic scene and vis-`a-vis the peace process in the Middle East. " She further added, "I know that President Obama (and) my successor, soon-to-be Secretary of State John Kerry, will pursue this, will look for every possible opening," said Clinton. * The London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Tuesday that Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal plans to seek the chairmanship of the Palestinian Liberation Organization in the near future. The paper quoted "top Palestinian sources" as saying that the future bid is the reason that Mashaal decided not to seek another term as Hamas chief. According to the report, Qatar and Jordan are facilitating the bid, with aim of including as many Palestinian factions as possible in the PLO, ahead of the possible resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Fatah, lead by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, believes that it will continue to enjoy the support of the Palestinian factions that have been affiliated with it so far, but according to Al-Quds Al-Arabi, many of the Palestinian factions may actually welcome the potential internal reshuffling of the PLO. A Palestinian source told Ynet that Emir of Qata Sheikh Hamad bin-Khalifa al-Thani has spoken to Abbas and reportedly expressed his desire to see Mashaal named his successor - should Abbas insist, as he has been for the past two years, not to seek another term as chairman of the Palestinian Authority. Mashaal announced he would be stepping down in mid 2012. Hamas has yet to announce who will take over the position, but only Deputy Hamas Politburo Chief Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk and Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh are in the running. The former is considered the favorite for the role. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4338480,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4338637,00.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e6b_1359475305 aydeo Clinton: Elections in Israel open new avenues for peace; Report: Hamas Chief gearing for PLO leadership Hillary Clinton,Israel elections,Peace,Hamas,PLO,Leadership Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:24:15 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bcc_1359245900 aydeo Over 315 people wounded in Port Said riots after court sentences 21 defendants involved in 2011's soccer stadium massacre to death - At least 30 people were killed and over 315 people were wounded Saturday, as violent riots swept through Port Said,Egypt. Security officials in the city confirmed that those killed in clashes with Egyptian security forces died in assaults on the governor's office, and the local courthouse and prison. They said two policemen also were shot to death outside the city's main prison when angry relatives tried to storm the facility. According to local Egyptian news outlets, protesters set fire to cars and shops, as well as several public facilities, chanting "Port Said needs independence." Security forces deployed in the area fired tear gas at them. According to Sky News' Arabic channel, armored personnel carriers have been deployed in Port Said to quell the protests. A military source told the British network that a curfew is likely to be imposed in the area, as well as a possible state of emergency declaration. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has convened an emergency session of the National Defense Council following the riots. The council condemned street violence and called for national dialogue to resolve political differences, the information minister said after the council met. The council called for "a broad national dialogue that would be attended by independent national characters" to discuss political differences and ensure a "fair and transparent" parliamentary election, the minister said in a televised statement. The riots broke out at noon, following a court verdict which sentenced 21 people to death over their involvement in the Port Said soccer stadium disaster, which occurred in the city in 2011 and claimed 74 lives. The clashes followed as the country was still reeling from violent riots that took place on Thursday and Friday, claiming nine lives. The riots broke out as Egypt was marking the second anniversary of the January 25 revolution, over the people's discontentment with the Muslim Brotherhood's regime and Morsi's rule. Cairo has taken a harsh position vis-`a-vis the rioters, deploying hundreds of soldiers and police officers across hubs of unrest. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/26/world/meast/egypt-soccer-deaths/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4337169,00.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bcc_1359245900 aydeo Egypt: 30 dead in riots over stadium disaster verdict Port Said,Riots,Stadium disaster,Death sentence Fri, 04 Jan 2013 03:00:28 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=437_1357285492 aydeo In first interview since leaving office, former Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin paints disconcerting picture of how Israel's most sensitive decisions are made - Yuval Diskin was once privy to top secret government discussions. As former Shin Bet chief, he sat in on meetings dealing with the Iranian threat, the Palestinian issue and Israel's most grave security concerns. By the nature of his office, Diskin witnessed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak's conduct up close and personal. And by his own admission - he was horrified. Diskin, a self-professed patriot and war hawk who insists he has no political agenda, served the defense establishment for 38 years, the majority of which were spent on counterterrorism efforts. In his first interview since leaving office, he told Yedioth Ahronoth that he simply cannot keep quiet anymore. He has to say something, he said, before it is too late - before the third intifada becomes a fact, before Israel finds itself embroiled in a military campaign vis-`a-vis Iran. "My colleagues and I were very unsure of whether Netanyahu and Barak can lead an Iranian campaign. We didn't trust their motives. We were worried that they might pursue various moves that would compromise Israel based on irrelevant considerations or via underhanded ways. We had a feeling that they were trying to sneak something under the radar," he said in the interview, published on Friday. As for Israel's policy vis-`a-vis the Palestinian Authority, Diskin said that "Israel upgraded Hamas and humiliated Abbas. We could have pursued various military moves that would have changes the picture, but Bibi and Barak are too weak." The prime minister's personal and political interests, he said, always outweigh those of the State. Diskin's tone is unmistakable - a mixture of cynicism, disgust and profound concern - from one of the most prominent defense establishment chiefs of the past few decades. Interviewing for the documentary "The Gatekeepers" he sounded more angry and worried than ever. "I've had the chance to work with the top political echelons since 1994," he said. "I've seen all kinds of leaders - Rabin, Peres, Bibi, Barak, Sharon, Olmert and Bibi again. When I consider this spectrum I can say that Rabin, Peres, Sharon and Olmert - in the moment of truth - would always prefer State interests over their own. "They didn't always make the right decision, but you knew where they were coming from - Israel's interests trumped anything else," he said. "Unfortunately, my feeling, and many others in the defense establishment share it, is that in the case of Netanyahu and Barak, the personal, opportunistic interests came first." The heads of the defense establishment, he added, often felt that Barak was even more ego-driven than Netanyahu: "With Barak, even when it came to the most sensitive discussions, the question of who gets credit for them was very important and at times it led to some very odd decisions. "Obviously I can't go into details, but suffice to say it left the members of those closed forums flabbergasted on more than one occasion." The Prime Minister's Office issued the following statement following the interview: "Diskin's ridiculous statements, made by a man who until six months ago wanted to be head of the Mossad, are recycled at this time for political reasons and stem from his own frustration about not being named to head the Mossad." http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4328453,00.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=437_1357285492 aydeo Former Shin Bet Chief: A game of egos between Netanyahu, Barak led to some very odd decisions Former Shin Bet Chief,Against, Netanyahu, Barak Wed, 02 Jan 2013 07:54:42 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ef7_1357131033 kauan Opinion surveys show that to voters in France -- home to an estimated 6.5 million Muslims, the largest Muslim population in the European Union -- Islam and the question of Muslim immigration have emerged in 2012 as a top-ranked public concern. The French, it seems, are increasingly worried about the establishment of a parallel Muslim society there. But government efforts this year to push back against the Islamization of France were halting and half-hearted and could be described as "one step forward, two steps back." A chronological review of some of the main stories involving the rise of Islam in France during 2012 includes: Muslim immigrants, as of January, began to find it more difficult to obtain French citizenship . New citizenship rules that entered into effect on January 1, 2012 now require all applicants to pass exams on French culture and history and also to prove that their French language skills are equivalent to those of a 15-year-old native speaker. Moreover, candidates seeking French citizenship will be required to pledge allegiance to "French values." Muslim applicants make up the majority of the 100,000 people naturalized as French citizens each year, and the new citizenship requirements form part of a larger effort to promote Muslim integration into French society. In February, the Persian Gulf Emirate of Qatar announced plans to invest EUR50 million ($65 million) in French suburbs, home to more than one million disgruntled Muslim immigrants. Qatar said its investment was intended to support small businesses in disadvantaged Muslim neighborhoods. But as Qatar, like Saudi Arabia, subscribes to the ultra-conservative Wahhabi sect of Islam, critics say the emirate's real objective is to peddle its religious ideology among Muslims in France and other parts of Europe. Shortly before Qatar announced its plans to invest in France, Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who has long cultivated an image as a pro-Western reformist and modernizer, vowed to " spare no effort " to spread the fundamentalist teachings of Wahhabi Islam across "the whole world." The promotion of Islamic extremist ideologies -- particularly Wahhabism, which not only discourages Muslim integration in the West, but actively encourages jihad against non-Muslims -- threatens to further radicalize Muslim immigrants in France. The Qatari investments are being targeted in blighted French suburban slums, known in France as banlieues , where up to one million or more mostly unemployed Muslim immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East try to get by on an impoverished existence. The banlieues are already being exploited by Islamist preachers from countries such as Morocco and Turkey which are leveraging the social marginalization of Muslim immigrants in France to create "separate Islamic societies" ruled by Islamic Sharia law. Also in February, a French television documentary revealed that all of the slaughterhouses in the greater Paris metropolitan area are now producing all of their meat in accordance with Islamic Sharia law. The expos'e broadcast by France 2 television on February 16 also alleged that much of the religiously slaughtered meat known as halal is not labeled as such and is entering the general food chain, where it is being unwittingly consumed by the non-Muslim population. Halal, in Arabic meaning lawful or legal, is a term designating any object or action that is permissible according to Sharia law. In the context of food, halal meat is derived from animals slaughtered by hand according to methods stipulated in Islamic religious texts. According to the France 2 documentary, French slaughterhouses produce far more halal meat than is needed to serve the 6.5 million Muslims who live in France. The documentary reported that roughly 30% of all the meat produced in France is halal, while the Muslim population in France makes up approximately 7% of the total French population. To avoid the costs associated with running separate production lines for halal and non-halal customers, French slaughterhouses are selling the remaining halal meat as non-halal. As a result, a significant amount of the meat being sold in French grocery stores is actually not labeled as halal and, according to France 2 television, French consumers are being tricked into buying products they normally would not eat. In March, a 23-year-old Islamic jihadist named Mohamed Merah confirmed the threat of homegrown Muslim terrorism in France when, on March 11, he killed three French paratroopers, three Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi with close-range shots to the head. Merah, a French citizen of Algerian origin, filmed himself carrying out the attacks to "verify" the deaths. He later died in a storm of gunfire on March 22 after a 32-hour standoff with police at his apartment in the southern French city of Toulouse. According to French police, Merah attacked the French Army personnel because of France's involvement in the war in Afghanistan, and the Jewish schoolchildren because "the Jews kill our brothers and sisters in Palestine." Also in March, the referee of a woman's football match in the southern French city of Narbonne refused to officiate the game when players for one of the teams took to the pitch wearing Muslim headscarves. The March 18 incident involved players from Petit-Bard Montpellier, who had been due to play Narbonne in a regional promotional tie. The international governing body of football, known as FIFA, banned players from wearing the Islamic headscarf, also known as the hijab, in 2007, saying it was unsafe. But on March 3, FIFA accepted in principal that female footballers could wear headscarves when playing in official competitions. The rule change, instigated by Ali bin al-Hussein, a FIFA vice president who is also the brother of the King of Jordan, entered into effect on July 2. FIFA Secretary General Jerome Vacke said al-Hussein successfully convinced FIFA that the hijab is a cultural rather than a religious symbol, and that the rule change would allow women all over the world to play football. But the change angered many Europeans, including some feminist groups, who say the Muslim headscarf is a sign of "male domination." In a March 19 interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien , Asma Guenifi, the director of a women's rights group called Ni Putes, Ni Soumises , said the rule change is "a total regression." She added: "I think FIFA is influenced by intense lobbying from rich Middle Eastern countries, such as Qatar." In May, Muslims determined the outcome of the French presidential elections. An analysis of the voting patterns that barreled Francois Hollande to victory on May 6 as the first Socialist president of France since 1995 showed this was due in large measure to Muslims, who voted for him in overwhelming numbers. According to a survey of French voters conducted by the polling firm OpinionWay for the Paris-based newspaper Le Figaro , an extraordinary 93% of French Muslims voted for Hollande. By contrast, the poll showed that only 7% of French Muslims voted for the incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy. An estimated two million Muslims participated in the 2012 election, meaning that roughly 1.7 million Muslim votes went to Hollande rather than to Sarkozy. In the election as a whole, however, Hollande won by only 1.1 million votes. This figure indicates that Muslims cast the deciding votes which thrust Hollande into the 'Elys'ee Palace. During the campaign, Hollande had offered an amnesty to all of the estimated 400,000 illegal Muslim immigrants currently in France. He also pledged to change French electoral laws so that Muslim residents without French citizenship would be allowed to vote in municipal elections as of 2014. These measures, if implemented, would enable the Socialist Party to tighten its grip on political power, both at the regional and national levels. As the politically active Muslim population in France continues to swell, and as most Muslims vote for Socialist and leftwing parties, conservative parties will find it increasingly difficult to win future presidential elections in France. In June, a French appeals court granted permission for the construction of a mega-mosque in the southern city of Marseille, home to the largest Muslim community in France. The ruling, which overturned an October 2011 decision by a lower court to annul the construction permit for the mosque, represented a major victory for proponents of the mosque, long touted as the biggest and most potent symbol of Islam's growing presence France. The EUR22 million ($27 million) project would have the Grand Mosque -- with a minaret soaring 25 meters (82 feet) high, and room for up to 7,000 worshippers in a vast prayer hall -- built on the north side of Marseille's old port in the city's Saint-Louis district, an ethnically mixed neighborhood that suffers from poverty and high unemployment. Several decades in the planning, the project was granted a construction permit in November 2009. At the time, city officials said the new mosque would help the Muslim community better integrate into the mainstream and would foster a more moderate form of Islam. The first cornerstone of the 8,300 square meter (90,000 square foot) project was laid in May 2010. The elaborate stone-laying ceremony was attended by Muslim religious leaders and local politicians, as well as more than a dozen diplomats from Muslim countries. Full-scale construction of the Grand Mosque -- which will include a Koranic school and a library, as well as a restaurant and tea room -- was scheduled to begin in February 2012, but the project has faced stiff opposition from local residents and businesses. Opponents of the Grand Mosque have argued that it would be out of harmony with the neighborhood's economic and social fabric. The appeals court ruling, dated June 19, means that construction of the mosque can now continue unimpeded. In July, the Socialist government began paying down some of its political indebtedness to the Muslim community by officially inaugurating a new mega-mosque in Paris as a first step towards "progressively building a French Islam." The 2,000 square meter (21,500 square foot) three-story mega-mosque, located in the northern Paris suburb of Cergy-Pontoise, is not only vast in its dimensions ( photo here ), but is also highly visible and symbolic: its towering minaret, which critics say has been purposely designed to change the suburb's skyline by being taller than any church steeple in the neighborhood, is supposed to become the "new symbol of Islam in France." Speaking on behalf of President Hollande at the mosque's inauguration ceremony on July 9, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls articulated the Socialist government's policy vis-`a-vis the construction of new mosques in France: "A mosque, when it is erected in the city, says a simple thing: Islam has its place in France." In August, the French government announced a plan to boost policing in 15 of the most crime-ridden parts of France, in an effort to reassert state control over the country's so-called "no-go" zones (Muslim-dominated neighborhoods that are largely off limits to non-Muslims). These crime-infested districts, which the French Interior Ministry has designated as Priority Security Zones ( zones de s'ecurit'e prioritaires , or ZSP), include heavily Muslim parts of Paris, Marseilles, Strasbourg, Lille and Amiens. The crackdown on lawlessness in the ZSP began in September, when French Interior Minister Manuel Valls deployed riot police, detectives and intelligence agents into the selected areas. The hope is that a " North American-style " war on crime can prevent France's impoverished suburbs from descending into turmoil. If the new policy results in a drop in crime, Valls is expected to name up to 40 more ZSP before the summer of 2013. Many of these new ZSP coincide with Muslim neighborhoods that previous French governments have considered to be Sensitive Urban Zones (Zones Urbaine Sensibles, or ZUS), which are "no-go" zones for French police. At last count, there were a total of 751 Sensitive Urban Zones, a comprehensive list of which can be found on a French government website , complete with satellite maps and precise street demarcations. An estimated five million Muslims live in the ZUS, parts of France over which the French state has lost control. Also in August, around 100 Muslim youths in the impoverished Fafet-Brossolette district of Amiens went on a two-day arson rampage after police arrested a Muslim man for driving without a license. Muslims viewed the arrest as "insensitive" because it came as many residents of the neighborhood were attending a funeral for Nadir Hadji, a 20-year-old Algerian youth who had died in a motorcycle accident on August 9. It later emerged, however, that police were called to an estate in northern Amiens after they received reports that youths were loading fireworks into a car. Police also discovered the ingredients for petrol bombs, including empty bottles and a canister of gasoline, which led to the arrest. In response to the August 12-13 riots, about 150 policemen and anti-riot police were deployed to the Fafet neighborhood and used tear gas and rubber bullets, and even mobilized a helicopter after Muslim youths shot at them with buckshot, fireworks and other projectiles from nine in the evening until four in the morning. At least 16 police officers were injured in the melee, one of them seriously. Youths also torched and destroyed a junior high school canteen, an anti-juvenile delinquency sports room, a leisure center, and a kindergarten, as well as 20 automobiles and 50 trash bins. The cost of repairing or rebuilding structures that were damaged or destroyed could run to EUR6 million ($7.4 million). ( Photos here .) Gilles Demailly, the Socialist mayor of Amiens, said the violence reflected a descent into lawlessness, orchestrated by ever younger troublemakers: "It has been years since we have known a night as violent as this with so much damage done. The confrontations were very, very violent." He added, "For months I have been asking for the means to alleviate the neighborhood's problems because tension has been mounting here. You have gangs of youths playing at being gangsters who have turned the area into a no-go zone. You can no longer order a pizza or get a doctor to come to the house." The clashes in Amiens followed more than five days of violence between rival Muslim gangs in Toulouse. Police in the city's Bagatelle district ( officially classified as a ZUS "no-go" zone ) characterized the Muslim-on-Muslim violence as " a kind of guerilla war " among two gangs whose members are between ages of 15 and 20. The violence was apparently "the result of a settlement of accounts between drug dealers, as well as because of old resentments exacerbated by boredom and the heat of the month of Ramadan." On August 14, two local imams in Bagatelle organized a march through the streets and called on the youths to stop the violence. Local media reports said the residents of the neighborhood knew the names of the perpetrators but "nobody dares to speak for fear of reprisals." According to the deputy imam of Bagatelle, Siali Lahouari, "it looks as if we are in Bosnia or Afghanistan, not Mirail ." In September, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls officially inaugurated the Grand Mosque of Strasbourg , the second-largest mosque ever built in France. The Strasbourg mega-mosque has a capacity of 1,300 square meters (14,000 square feet) and seats 1,500 worshippers, and is slightly smaller than the massive Grand Mosque d''Evry at Courcouronnes in the southern suburbs of Paris. At the inauguration ceremony on September 27, Valls said: "France's Muslims can congratulate themselves on the singular model that they are building. The Islam of France shines through the strength of its serenity. The mosque is less than two kilometers from the Notre-Dame Cathedral, giving Islam its full place in France." But Valls also issued a warning to Islamists : "The preachers of hatred, the partisans of obscurantism, fundamentalists, those who attack our values and our institutions, those who deny the rights of women, those people do not have their place in the French Republic. Those who are on our territory to defy our laws, to attack the foundations of our society do not have to remain there. I will not hesitate to expel those who claim to be of Islam, and represent a grave threat to public order, by not respecting the laws and the values of the French Republic." In October, tensions flared over the proposed conversion of an empty church into a mosque in the central French town of Vierzon. The controversy involved Saint-Eloi's, a small church located in a working class neighborhood which has been taken over by immigrants from Morocco and Turkey. With six churches to maintain and fewer faithful every year, Roman Catholic authorities in Vierzon said they could no longer afford to keep Saint-Eloi's. They now want to sell the building for EUR170,000 ($220,000) to a Moroccan Muslim organization whose members want to convert the church into a mosque. In an interview with the French weekly newsmagazine Le Nouvel Observateur , Alain Krauth, the parish priest of the largest Catholic church in Vierzon, said: "The Christian community is not as important as it used to be in the past. If moderate Muslims buy Saint-Eloi's, we can only be happy that the Muslims of Vierzon are able to celebrate their religion." His comments were greeted with outrage by local citizens opposed to converting the church into a mosque. Also in October, in the nearby city of Poitiers, around 70 members of a conservative youth group known as Generation Identity occupied a mosque that is being built in the heavily Muslim Buxerolles district of the city. The dawn raid on October 21 was intended as a protest against Islam's growing influence in France. The protesters climbed onto the roof of the mosque ( photos here ) and unfurled a banner with the symbolic phrase, "732 Generation Identity" -- a reference to the year 732, when Charles Martel halted the advance of the invading Muslim army to the north of Poitiers (also known as the Battle of Tours .) In November, a new opinion survey found that a majority of people in France believe that Islam is too influential in French society , and almost half view Muslims as a threat to their national identity. The survey revealed a significant degradation of the image of Islam in France. The findings also showed that French voters are growing increasingly uneasy about mass immigration from Muslim countries which has been encouraged by a generation of political and cultural elites in France dedicated to creating a multicultural society. The survey conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion (or Ifop, as it is usually called) and published by the center-right Le Figaro newspaper on October 24, showed that 60% of French people believe that Islam has become "too visible and influential" in France -- up from 55% in an earlier survey two years ago. The poll also revealed that 43% of French people consider the presence of Muslim immigrants to be a threat to French national identity, compared to just 17% who say it enriches society. In addition, 68% of people in France blame the problems associated with Muslim integration on immigrants who refuse to integrate (up from 61% two years ago), and 52% blame it on cultural differences (up from 40% two years ago). The poll also showed a growing resistance to the symbols of Islam. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of French people say they are opposed to Muslim women wearing the veil or Islamic headscarves in public, compared to 59% two years ago. Moreover, the survey showed that only 18% of French people say they support the building of new mosques in France (compared to 33% in 1989, and 20% in 2010). "Our poll shows a further hardening in French people's opinions," Jerome Fourquet, head of Ifop's opinion department, told Le Figaro . "In recent years, there has not been a week when Islam has not been in the heart of the news for social reasons: the veil, halal food, dramatic news like terrorist attacks or geopolitical reasons," he said. In December, two Muslim groups launched legal proceedings against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo , accusing it of inciting racial hatred after it published provocative cartoons of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed on September 19. Members of the Algerian Democratic Union for Peace and Progress (RDAP) and the Organization of Arab Union said they were claiming a total of EUR780,000 ($1 million) in damages. They said the lawsuit was to "defend and support Islamic and/or Arabic people." According to the complainants, the drawings were "damaging to the honor and reputation of the Prophet Mohammed and the Muslim community." Earlier, the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo were destroyed in an arson attack after it "invited" the Prophet Mohammed to be its "guest editor." The November 2011 firebombing attack took place just hours before an issue entitled " Sharia Hebdo ," featuring a cartoon of Mohammed on its cover, hit the newsstands. Both the arson attack and the lawsuit mark a serious escalation in a long-running Islamic war on free speech and expression in France. Muslim immigrants and their multicultural supporters in France and elsewhere have been using a combination of lawsuits, verbal and physical harassment -- and even murder -- to silence debate about the rise of Islam there.Source: http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3523/islamization-of-france http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ef7_1357131033 kauan THE ISLAMIZATION OF FRANCE IN 2012 France Riots Burning Cars Islam Islamization French Muslim Muslims Francois Hollande Socialism Socialist Immigration Immigrants Morocco Algeria Lybia Arab Arabs Multiculturalism Tue, 25 Dec 2012 00:21:17 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b7f_1356412101 aydeo A female soldier with the Infantry Corps' Caracal Battalion will be awarded a special commendation for bravery, for shooting an Egyptian Islamic militant who infiltrated the Israel-Egypt border with another militant in September. The incident claimed the life of IDF Corporal Netanel Yahalomi. GOC Southern Command Major-General Tal Russo announced the commendation on Monday. The sergeant who commanded the platoon during the incident will receive a citation as well. Corporal S. and her comrade will receive their commendations in a special ceremony that will be held on Tuesday at the IDF's Gaza Division headquarters. According to the IDF's inquest into the incident, S. and the sergeant spotted the terrorist - who was wearing an explosive vest - as he was running towards the troops, no doubt with the intent to detonate his explosives as soon as he was near them. S. saw Yahalomi shot and killed right before her eyes. As the battalion paramedics were rushing over, she used her own experience as a Magen David Adom volunteer paramedic to assess his situation, but realized there was nothing she could do to save his life. Seeing the terrorist run towards the troops deploying to contain border breach, she did not hesitate to engage, firing one killer shot. This was her first field experience vis-`a-vis hostiles. Another terrorist, also carrying an explosive belt, detonated the charge near the troops, injuring one seriously. S. herself said that she originally wanted to join the IAF's Unit 669 - the Air Force search and rescue unit - as a paramedic, "But when we started training I realized this is what I wanted to do." http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4324045,00.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b7f_1356412101 aydeo IDF Female Soldier who took down terrorist near Egypt border to get citation IDF, Female Soldier,Caracal Battalion,special commendation,Islamic militant,Egypt border, Thu, 13 Dec 2012 07:34:02 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7ec_1355400946 aydeo Riots in Hebron continue after teen's death- Palestinian youths, Israeli security forces clash day after Palestinian teen is shot dead at checkpoint. The name and photo of the border police officer who fired at the Palestinian teen was released by the Israeli media on Wednesday before being placed under a gag order. Palestinians web users circulated the image, alongside images of other Israeli combat troops, in the social media and international anti-Israel forums. The messages branded the officer as a criminal and featured threats to her life. "There's no escaping death," one of the messages said. "You're going down," said another. The female officer said "I saw the Palestinian pull a gun out of his back pocket and hold it up to the other soldier. I knew I only had a few seconds so I cocked my weapon and looked for the right angle - so as not to hurt the soldier." According to the sergeant, she was a few yards away, at the checkpoint post, during the incident. "He (the soldier) asked a Palestinian teenager for his ID. I stepped out to fill out a checkpoint report and I saw the Palestinian attack the soldier and take out a gun." IDF seeks to clarify rules of engagement - The rapidly growing number of clashes between IDF soldiers and Palestinians in the West Bank have prompted the military to issue new directives to the Judea and Samaria Division commanders, regarding rules of engagement pertaining to cases involving riots, the throwing of Molotov cocktails and stoning incidents. --------- The clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli troops continued in Hebron on Thursday as tension in the region continued to mount over the death of a local teenager. The 17-year-old Palestinian was shot dead on Wednesday by a Border Guard sergeant when he brandished a gun that later turned out to be fake. The incident occurred at a checkpoint near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. The officer received threats to her life as photos of her circulated on social networks On Thursday morning, dozens of Palestinian youths in the West Bank city threw stones and bottles at troops, who responded with tear gas. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries. The name and photo of the border police officer who fired at the Palestinian teen was released by the Israeli media on Wednesday before being placed under a gag order. Palestinians web users circulated the image, alongside images of other Israeli combat troops, in the social media and international anti-Israel forums. The messages branded the officer as a criminal and featured threats to her life. "There's no escaping death," one of the messages said. "You're going down," said another. Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch spoke with the sergeant on Thursday and praised her for exemplary conduct. "You acted as you were trained, with courage, determination and without hesitation, as is expected of Border Guard combatants," he said. The officer recalled on Wednesday that she didn't have much time to consider her actions. "I saw the Palestinian pull a gun out of his back pocket and hold it up to the other soldier. I knew I only had a few seconds so I cocked my weapon and looked for the right angle - so as not to hurt the soldier." According to the sergeant, she was a few yards away, at the checkpoint post, during the incident. "He (the soldier) asked a Palestinian teenager for his ID. I stepped out to fill out a checkpoint report and I saw the Palestinian attack the soldier and take out a gun." IDF seeks to clarify rules of engagement - The rapidly growing number of clashes between IDF soldiers and Palestinians in the West Bank have prompted the military to issue new directives to the Judea and Samaria Division commanders, regarding rules of engagement pertaining to cases involving riots, the throwing of Molotov cocktails and stoning incidents. Soldiers serving in the West Bank complained in recent days that "their hands are tied" vis-`a-vis Palestinian rioters in the sector, due to the military's orders to exercise maximal restraint. The directives came under scrutiny over several incidents, where soldiers had to flee rioters rather than engage them due to ambiguous orders. The new directives, a copy of which was obtained by Ynet on Wednesday, aim to clarify the rules of engagement; and while they stress the need for caution and discretion, they clearly state that soldiers are allowed to open fire in the event of an imminent threat. Amongst other things, the document states that, "During foot patrols, when soldiers identify that Israeli vehicles are being stones, constituting clear and present danger, they must fire to eliminate the threat using static or single shots only, without endangering other vehicles." In cases involving Molotov cocktails thrown at troops, the soldiers are ordered to "Fire at the source until the threat is neutralized." "When on foot patrol, if protesters stone our forces, massively and physically endangering soldiers, suspect engaging procedures must be put into effect in full, culminating with aiming the weapon at the assailant's lower extremities. However, if the stoning poses no true physical threat the arrest should be conducted using reasonable force." The document clearly stated that should IDF troops come undergunfire, they must respond by returning fire at the source and engaging any suspects. Directives pertaining to fire protocols in checkpoints - both permanent and temporary ones - have also been clarified further. The new orders also focus on vehicular terror attacks, i.e. - incidents when terrorists attempt to run soldiers over: "Should a directed attempt to run soldiers over be made and it cannot be thwarted, troops must engage in suspect arrest procedure and they may fire at the car. But should there be any doubt or any chance that the incident is accidental, the soldiers must hold their fire. Once the vehicle no longer poses a threat, the soldiers must hold their fire." A senior GOC Central Command source explained that "So far the containment and restrain policy has proven itself as preventing incidents from escalating. These orders all derive from battle ethics. "We must exercise discretion and keep live fire as the last resort. We don't want to shoot indiscriminately and harm innocent people and if something like that happens we immediately offer assistance.

His offense: Exposing the sole of his shoe. The event, which is a routine diplomatic procedure, was proceeding according to plan until, as the two were sitted, the ambassador decided to cross his legs. The act seemed to have insulted the Iranian president, causing him to flash the ambassador a retaliatory leg-crossing himself. The incident did not go unnoticed by local media. "The ambassador's actions are undiplomatic and impolite," an Iranian website reported, adding that "Such behavior deviates from diplomatic and international norms." The incident occurred last Monday at the Iranian president's Teheran office, when the Swedish ambassador placed his right leg over his left, revealing the sole of his right shoe. In Islam, shoes, and especially their soles, are considered impure and even profane. Exposing one's shoes or their soles before a high-ranking official is considered a great insult. The ambassador's body language, however, seems to indicate that his sitted position was a result of his interest in the conversation and his desire to get closer to the president. Ahmadinejad's reaction - crossing his legs in the opposite direction - seems to express a feeling of disinterest and discomfort or, and as some Iranian media outlets suggest, even affront, vis-`a-vis his interlocutor. To understand the shoe's role in Islamic society one might recall the wave of past shoe-throwing incidents at world leaders. The trend started in 2008 by an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoe at then-US President George W. Bush, while he was giving a speech during a visit of Iraq. In the following years other leaders have had shoes pelted at them, among them Ahmadinejad. Shoes were also used to batter pictures of Arab leaders during the Arab Spring and at Israelis in Jordan. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2012/12/08/Swedish-diplomat-crosses-legs-Iran-angry/UPI-20031355000033/ http://www.panorama.am/en/society/2012/12/07/asriran-com/ http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4317647,00.html In the first photo you can see the 'Incident', In the second one you can see the 'retaliation'... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6c4_1355077658 aydeo Swedish diplomat crosses legs, Iran angry Swedish diplomat,Cross legs,Offends, Iranian president
