The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns, in the strongest terms, the ongoing policies adopted by Israeli occupation authorities aimed at creating a Jewish majority in occupied East Jerusalem, the latest of which has been closing the wooden bridge of Bab al-Maghariba (Dung Gate) under the pretext of maintaining public safety. PCHR is concerned that the closure of the bridge may be a prelude to establishing an iron bridge and changing the features of the area, especially given the Israeli authorities declared intent to expand the yard adjacent to al-Buraq Wall and establish a multi-level car park. ...I wonder how strongly the PCHR would condemn Israel if the ramp would collapse and hurt dozens of people.
[PCHR] asserts that all Israeli settlement activities in East Jerusalem constitute a war crime according to international humanitarian law.
Or does that not fit under the rubric of "human rights?"
The PCHR gets much of its funding from the EU - and they use it for pure propaganda like this.
And the only evidence you need it their referring to the "al-Buraq Wall" as if the Kotel and this mythical wall are the same thing. They aren't, and saying they are is nothing less than anti-Jewish incitement.
Which one would not quite expect from a real human rights organization.
