Israel's Support of Terror in Syrian Civil War (none / 0)

Profiling Jabhat al-Nusra | Brookings - 16 July 2016 |
Acting secretly on the orders of ISI leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a Syrian known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani led his six companions-- one Palestinian, one Iraqi, two Palestinian Jordanians and two Syrians--over the porous border and quickly set about connecting themselves with the ISI's long-established Syrian jihadi networks. Weeks later, the necessary foundations had been laid for the creation of Jabhat al-Nusra li-Ahl al-Sh- am min Mujahidi al-Sham fi Sahat al-Jihad, or The Support Front to the People of the Levant by the Mujahideen of the Levant on the Fields of Jihad.
Jabhat al-Nusra has come a long way since those early days. It has transformed itself from being an un- popular outsider accused of introducing alien ISI-like brutality into a nationalist revolution in early 2012, towards being something close to an accepted or even leading member of the Syrian revolutionary opposi- tion from late 2012 onwards.

Israel's Support of Terror in Syrian Civil War (none / 0)

Statement Ban Ki-moon at UNSC on Israel's Occupation West Bank | @BooMan - 27 Jan, 2016 |
Sadly, 2016 has begun much like 2015 ended - with unacceptable levels of violence and a polarized public discourse across the spectrum in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
Stabbings, vehicle attacks, and shootings by Palestinians targeting Israeli civilians - all of which I condemn -- and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces, have continued to claim lives.

But security measures alone will not stop the violence. They cannot address the profound sense of alienation and despair driving some Palestinians - especially young people.
The demolitions of Palestinian homes in Area C of the occupied West Bank continue. So do the decades-long difficulties of Palestinians to obtain building permits.
The Bedouin community, in particular, is paying a heavy price. I reiterate the UN's call for an immediate end to Israeli plans to forcibly transfer Bedouin communities currently living within the occupied Palestinian territory in the Jerusalem area.
At the same time, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains perilous.
