Let's see how "human rights" groups discuss this morning's deadly PA raid in Tulkarm - if at all

This morning, the Palestinian Authority clashed with terror groups in Tulkarm, leaving one person dead.The specifics are disputed depending on whether one is reading PA-affiliated or terror-affiliated media.According to the PA:The Political Commissioner General and the official spokesperson for the security establishment, Major General Talal Dweikat, said today, Wednesday,...

The Lebanese have always denied Palestinians access to their water network. Almost no one knows, and no one cares.

I spend a lot of time reading reports and news articles about how terribly Palestinians are treated in Lebanon - they cannot become citizens, they cannot access many jobs, there are many laws discriminating against them, they may not build in the camps, they cannot own land outside the camps. It is official, widespread and sanctioned discrimination that is far closer...

From Naharnet:An explosion was heard at dawn inside the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Helweh in the southern city of Sidon, the state-run National News Agency said.The explosion resulted from “a hand grenade that was hurled near a school belonging to the UNRWA agency in the camp’s al-Fawqani street,” NNA said, adding that the incident caused no casualties.UNRWA had reported...

Ein al-Hilweh camp: Terrorists still control schools, 200-400 homes destroyed - and human rights groups silent

On Friday, UNRWA issued a situation report on the Lebanese Ein el-Hilweh camp where there had been fierce fighting at the start of the month. While the media has largely lost interest as the cease fire took hold, the camp is still largely controlled by terror groups: Reports indicate that armed fighters are allegedly still deployed in some areas and continue to be...

Gazans plan a major anti-Hamas protest on Sunday

Last night there were anti-Hamas demonstrations in various locations in Gaza.The protesters reject the disastrous conditions that the Gaza Strip is going through, and demand as good a life as the children of Hamas leaders enjoy.Here's one that was posted on TikTok this week although I don't know when it occurred:There are actually two stories here. One is that there are demonstrations...

Palestinian homes in Lebanon are literally falling apart. No one cares, because there is no way to blame Jews.

The homes of Palestinians in Lebanese "refugee camps" are literally falling apart.The Union of Palestinian Right of Return Committees in Lebanon issued a statement this week holding the UNRWA Administration and the Engineering Department responsible for the collapse of houses on its residents in the Palestinian camps.The real problem is that Lebanon severely restricts...

Another Palestinian killed in clashes - but no one cares about him. Here's why.

Another Palestinian has been shot dead during clashes.Although this happened last week, it is barely mentioned in Palestinian or international media. His name is not published in lists of Palestinians killed this year. In fact, his name has not been published at all.Because it happened in Lebanon.One person was killed and several others wounded in overnight clashes in south...

Someone is kicking Palestinians out of their homes - and Palestinians don't say a word

Orient News reports:Last Sunday, we published a documented report on the Assad regime's confiscation of Palestinian property in Al-Hajar Al-Aswad and Palestine camps as part of a general plan to establish a sectarian Shiite southern suburb similar to that of Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.The documented report referred to the confiscation of Palestinian property...

Palestinians care about their economy....but only when they can blame Israel

There are stories this morning about how Israel's closure in Nablus has been affecting the businesses there, as shops that sell furniture and other goods who get most of their customers from outside Nablus are losing business.One might feel a little more sorry for the affected business owners if Palestinians themselves didn't declare their own strikes all the time - that affect...

PFLP-GC claims 23,000 Syrian Palestinians have fled to Sweden

The PFLP-GC claims that some 23,000 Palestinian Arabs from the Yarmouk camp in Syria have fled to Sweden during the civil war. Yarmouk camp The group, which supports the Syrian regime, blames the opposition for setting up their forces in the camp. I couldn't find verification of the numbers, but they are not unrealistic. In 2012 there were over 2000 Palestinian Arabs...

Today is the fourth consecutive day of the Rafah crossing being completely closed by Egypt. Still no flotillas to Egypt to protest this siege.

Four Egyptians...

Palestinian death toll in Syria rises above 1000

From the beginning of the Syrian uprising until the end of February, 1036 Palestinian Arabs have been killed, according to the "Working Group of Syrian Palestinians." Since then, it appears that several more are being killed every day: 4 on March 2 5 on March 5 12 on March 6 5 on March 9 8 on March 10 You must have seen the news coverage of the many "pro-Palestinian" demonstrations outside world embassies protesting these deaths every day, right?

Over 1000 Palestinian Arabs killed in Syria. Ho-hum.

From Hamas' Qassam website: The workgroup for Palestinians in Syria has said that 1038 Palestinians were killed in Syria since eruption of the popular revolution in that country almost two years ago. It said in a statement on Sunday that 14 Palestinian refugees were killed last week due to the continued attacks and sniper fire in refugee camps.

5 Palestinian Arabs killed, 12 injured. But it was in Syria, so no one cares

Yesterday 5 Palestinian Arabs were killed in Syria, and 12 more wounded. Four were killed in the Yarmouk camp by Syrian shelling, and one more was killed by a sniper in the Adra camp. "Pro-Palestinian" groups have not commented. Nor will they. Because Arabs killed by Arabs are a dog-bites-man story that can be buried or ignored, but those killed by Jews are a war crime and a propaganda bonanz...

Jordan tells Syrian Palestinians to drop dead. No one cares.

From Times of Israel earlier this week: Jordan has turned away dozens of Palestinian refugees on the Syrian border fleeing regime bombardment of the Yarmouk refugee camp south of Damascus. Palestinian refugees living in the Yarmouk refugee camp south of Damascus have tried to enter Jordan through the Jaber border crossing after their camp was bombarded by Assad regime forces in previous weeks. They told Al-Jazeera earlier this week that while Palestinian...

Will anyone call this Jordanian action "apartheid"?

I noted back in April that Jordan was segregating Palestinian Syrians from other Syrians fleeing across the border, not allowing most of them to enter the country. HRW just caught up: The Jordanian authorities have forcibly returned some newly arriving Palestinians from Syria and threatened others with deportation, Human Rights Watch said today.Since April 2012, the authorities have also arbitrarily detained Palestinians fleeing Syria in a refugee...

Apartheid, anyone? Palestinian refugees in Iraq say they face widespread discrimination and have appealed to President Mahmoud Abbas to intervene. The Iraqi Palestinian Brothers Association said Tuesday that it sent a letter to Abbas, who is in Baghdad to attend the Arab League summit, detailing their plight. The association said Palestinians have been refused medical care in Iraqi government hospitals and must use fake ID cards to receive treatment....

Hamas continues to arrest and beat political opponents

Today, Hamas raided and closed the headquarters of a group called the Democratic Union of Palestine in Rafah, confiscating some of the group's files and arresting and beating its leaders. Hamas also detained and beat 14 Fatah members. These sort of events are happening pretty much every day, yet one would have to look long and hard to find any Western so-called "human rights for Gaza" organization mentioning them, let alone condemning...

Lebanon, the apartheid state

From The Daily Star (Lebanon): Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are two times more likely to live in poverty than other Lebanese people, preliminary report findings released Tuesday have shown. The “Socio-Economic Survey of Palestine Refugees in Lebanon” is the first comprehensive evaluation of its kind. It assesses the demographics of the Palestinian population as well as...
