Israeli military forces have killed 56 Palestinians and injured 897 since the resumption of peace negotiations with Israel in July, the Palestine Liberation Organization said Tuesday.
"Israeli violations of international law and human rights continued unabated. Rather than demonstrate goodwill during this period, Israel has done the opposite, with the aim of derailing the US peace efforts led by Secretary of State Kerry," a PLO statement said.
There have been over 500 settler attacks on Palestinian civilians and their property in the occupied West Bank and Israeli forces have arrested over 3,000 Palestinians in 3,767 military raids.
Israel has also begun work on 10,509 housing units in illegal settlement while simultaneously demolishing 146 Palestinian homes, the PLO said.

(30,109 posts)...at the feet of Palestinian children who play FIFA soccer in an attempt to end their careers, they're off killing 56 Palestinians for no other reason than that they're Palestinians.
I wonder if any of these 56 were in any way associated with terror, like these 4 Hamasniks:

No judge ever ruled on this letter to the editor essay published by Maan .
It's absolute Jew hating filth as you can see.
Maan has had it up on its page for more than a month now and this antiSemitic extreme right wing filth of an essay is still prominently up there published by Maan.
And apparently the part that shocks me the most is that this filth of a publication is supported by some DU members here even though at least half of us posting here are targets of this filthy antiSemitic racist extremist essay.
Here's the essay , google translate does an adequate job translating this hateful filthy essay.

including Haaretz. The letter to the editor is still there, that is unfortunate, I suggest you complain

will need to be included too.
Write Itamar Marcus, the racist, tell him to knock it off too...he is obsessed with his hate
of Palestinians.The judge did not buy his bullshit about Ma'an..try and remember that as you go forth with this
bogus campaign.

Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)King_David
(14,851 posts)Nobody else cares.
That's why we support the Democratic Party in such large numbers AntiSemitism is not tolerated.
As far as Maan is concerned they are no longer considered a fair or reliable source.
And I'm pretty sure most people on DU would never accept antiSemitic racist hate filled rants on Rense Maan or David Duke --- all of which do a disservice to the Palestinian cause with their overt hatred of Jews .
Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)Itamar Marcus.
Sickening, but clear.
One letter to the editor versus a man who has spread numerous lies..interesting.
Who are you going to try and silence next, B'Tselem? lol
All the Itamar Marcus racists you can muster up will never erase Israel's human rights abuses, never.
King_David
(14,851 posts)Newspaper like Maan that has a recurrent history of publishing the most filthy racist anti Jew articles usually reserved for extremist right wing publications.
Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)Palwatch is capable of accomplishing. That is one reason she found him and his case a total failure.
A racist and settler on occupied Palestinian territory who tried to blame an entire people for incitement via
Ma'an, he failed. The lawsuit was based on 78 counts of incitement over 14 years. That is a large
passage of time to cover and he failed to make his case, as have you here.
But do keep up your support of the loser and your empty charges, since numerous publications
have comments that are contemptible against both parties in the conflict but they remain.
Maybe you can convince him to take this letter to the editor back to court and convince
the judge again that the publication is advocating anti-semitism.
B'Tselem has been a target of Palwatch..they despise accuracy on human rights abuse reported.
You have zero credibility on this topic, much like he does.
King_David
(14,851 posts)I do have an interest in the sick antiSemitic filth published by Maan .
No Israeli judge has ruled on this sick filth Maan published here.
http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533
It doesn't need a judge or Pal Watch to tell you what sick antiSemitic Jew hating filth Maan is publishing... Read it yourself.
Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)today signed off by Palwatch with the intention to prove Ma'an a liar. A lie based on what an
anonymous Elder of Zion blog and facebook claim..no news source to confirm.
By your measure, no news source would be suitable to post on DU. I already indicated
and which you ignore, numerous publications have letters to editors and comments sections
that smack of racism against both parties and they remain posted, this include JPost and Haaretz, to
name two.
The failed case presented by Palwatch is relevant as it covered a long period of time
for Ma'an publications and other publications within the Palestinian media and they were
vindicated.
Yet you spam threads with bogus claims using a standard you do not employ for
other publications.
Your agenda is empty..you were out of gas before you even began...hypocritical to say the least.

I don't need you, just read the judge's ruling.
King_David
(14,851 posts)In this hateful racist shit and yet you cling to that ridiculous "argument" to support this racist publication against a minority with a large number of posters in this group.
Here's the essay published in Maan:
http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533
Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)Then he uses an anonymous blog that disparages not only Palestinians but people on the
political left. Then he adds facebook..no news source. Harretz btw, has used Ma'an as
a source when reporting the story themselves on the athletes.
The judge does not need to rule on the letter to the editor and I doubt that asshole
Marcus will be using the courts again.
Itamar Marcus recent history is he lost his case of incitement against the Palestinian
publications which came with a scathing rebuke from the judge for she did not only
see him as not a credible " expert" and his entire case was bogus.
Try, if it is possible, to use critical thinking skills, and ask yourself what this judge
would think of claims based on the evidence you have presented to disparage
the story of the athletes and make a claim of anti-semitism against Ma'an based
on a letter to the editor..which comes with a disclaimer. Then think about how
any judge is going to look at that and all the publications that leave racist
comments and editorials.
It is a desperate move you have made, and why it is so sad to witness and why your
opinion is deeply hypocritical. If you find Ma'an illegitimate you would need to disavow
yourself from just about every OP posted here..but your only focus is on a Palestinian
publication.

most of these racist posts remain...and you have no problem with using them as a source

Mahmoud a-Sarsak, imprisoned in Israel for about 3 years, has been on a hunger strike for some 80 days and in danger of death
Published:
5 Jun 2012
Updated:
10 Jul 2012
Mhamoud a-Sarsak was released on 10 July 2012. On 19 June 2012, the media reported that Attorney Muhammad Jabarin, counsel for Mahmoud Sarsak, had reached an agreement with the Israeli authorities pursuant to which his client would stop his hunger strike and would be released on July 10th, and that meanwhile he would be under medical supervision. At that point, Sarsak ended his hunger strike.
Mahmoud a-Sarask. Photo from football team posterMahmoud a-Sarsak, imprisoned in Israel for about 3 years, has been on a hunger strike for some 80 days and in danger of death
Mahmoud a-Sarsak, age 25, a resident of the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza, has been imprisoned by Israel for the last three years under the Internment of Unlawful Combatants Law of 2002. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel report that a-Sarsak, who has been on a hunger strike for some 80 days, has lost a great deal of weight and that his life is in imminent danger.
The Israel Security Agency (ISA) did not permit a-Sarsak to be checked by independent physicians, and so PHR-Israel petitioned the court to allow one of its physicians to examine him. The petition was heard on 30 May 2012 in the Central District Court in Petakh Tikvah, and Judge Abraham Tal ruled that the ISA must set a date for the examination. Yesterday, the ISA notified the organization that the examination would take place tomorrow, 6 June 2012.

No one bothers to go over Israeli publications in this manner, is it because they are pure or is it because the actions of a country and it's military speak much more loudly that the petty ramblings of an individual's letter to the editor?

I'm not claiming antisemitism doesn't exist or that i should be ignored but you said minority group and in this particular situation it is the Palestinians-if we were talking about any other country you's have a point though
and BTW if you to wish go that route, perhaps we should start publishing some of the Islamophobic hate talkbacks published daily in Israeli publications-in fact there's some at +972 that deserve some exposure here whaddya think-there were recent memorable ones there from one poster everything from Obama's secret Muslim advisers to how the only thing to do with Palestinians was kill them, but myself I think that stuff petty oh and don't get me started on stuff you see at Times of Israel, JPost, and Ynet

azurnoir
(45,850 posts)this was a letter to the editor in Maan's Arabic version which Maan also publishes a disclaimer to, however if you wish to take this route perhaps we should be regular about it -print the talkbacks from Ynet JPost Times of Israel and oh +972 there are a couple commenters there that that are every bit as bigoted shall we?
personally IMO this is a diversion a tactic to avoid discussing the issues at hand
shira
(30,109 posts)Talkbacks at all online news sources (including the NYT) tend to be racist in one way or another.
There are no other reputable papers to compare this Maan incitement with. In no other papers do we see antisemitic neo-nazi op-eds like at Maan.
In addition, the latest Maan article on the Palestinian FIFA footballers was a hoax & therefore even more incitement. In no way can Maan be considered a credible news source.
azurnoir
(45,850 posts)and as for incitement wouldn't you call comments saying Palestinian stone thrower deserve to be shot incitement too?
shira
(30,109 posts)...that can be found on any other news sites, disclaimer or not.
And that horseshit hoax story by Maan about 10 bullets to the feet is straight-up lying, racist incitement.
Not to mention the bullcrap from last week about Israel being responsible for Palestinian refugees trapped in Syria - not Abbas who says they're better off dead than renouncing their RoR.
It's all racist incitement that has no business being posted, let alone being defended here.
azurnoir
(45,850 posts)of NGO Monitors board of directors and who publishes articles denying Palestinian refugees a Leftist
For part Maan is neither strictly Left or Right and in the English language version of Maan they regularly get comdemed for taking Israel's side
and oh a letter to the editor is not an op-ed as it not done by a journalist-just check out any news publication maybe you'll see the difference LttE are far more comparable to talkbacks because in essence that's what they are
