Yet again, Israel chooses to ignore
International Law as well as International recognition of diplomatic
immunity enjoyed by officials when they attacked a group of Diplomats
from the EU, who were carrying humanitarian aid to the West Bank. The
diplomats were bombarded by attacks from concussive grenades, tossing
them to the ground and then having truck-loads of much needed
humanitarian supplies confiscated by the IDF, trucks and all.

Israeli officials were incensed by the Diplomats ignoring the
“rules” put forth by Israel barring humanitarian aid to the
population they diligently work to crush. They’re expecting an
apology. This is enough to make one collapse into hysterics if it
wasn’t so criminal. Israel is in complete violation of
international law by continuing to build illegal settlements in the
OT. Many of the supplies included tents for the recently displaced
Bedouins, who had their homes bulldozed by the Israeli Army to make
way for new illegal settlements.
There has been virtually no mention
of this in the American press. I checked. It appeared in FOX
online, but only the part about Israel saying they were provoked by
the Diplomats and that the job of a Diplomat is to build bridges
(meaning go along with Israeli crimes) and not act as provocateurs
(meaning helping an innocent population). Where is the outrage by
the U.S. government? Why aren’t they responding with the same
abhorrence they showed when “terrorists” attacked U.S. Diplomats
in Benghazi? We recognize diplomatic immunity when the Diplomats
hail from the US of A. Are not all Diplomats entitled to this
immunity? Oh wait, now I get it. The terrorists, in this case, were
the love child of the U.S. The IDF gets to bomb anyone who gets in
their way of crushing the Palestinians. U.S/Israeli Terrorism=Good.
Anyone Defending Themselves=Bad. There is no interest in justice or
international law where Israel and the U.S. are concerned. They just
want to be the ones swinging the club.
