'Israeli police have shut down a Palestinian theatre'

[dub]

Israeli police have shut down a Palestinian theatre in East Jerusalem.

The action, on Thursday, prevented the closing event of an international literature festival from taking place.

Police said they were acting on a court order, issued after intelligence indicated that the Palestinian Authority was involved in the event.

Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since 1967 and has annexed the area. This is not recognised by the international community.

The British consul-general in Jerusalem , Richard Makepeace, was attending the event.

"I think all lovers of literature would regard this as a very regrettable moment and regrettable decision," he added.

this is not okay.

Damn straight.

If Ottawa wants to sponsor a book fair in occupied Puerto Rico they better contact and get the approval of the US State department first.

israel does not have legal power over east jerusalem. not according to internatinal law.

lol @ US shutting down a book fair.

also lol @ comparing canada's relationship to puerto rico and PA's relationship to east jerusalem and the palestinian theatre.

israel does not have legal power over east jerusalem. not according to internatinal law.

Guess again...according to international law. In both scenarios, whether you accept that Israel annexed east jerusalem and is now part of Israel or as an occupying power, they are the defacto legal authority there, responible for everything from traffic by-laws to shutting down events that are illigally funded.

Is today Dub's make stuff up day?

No, it's just another regular day where dub scours all the leftwingnut sites looking for a score from fellow Jew-haters.

3 issues:

#1 - israel's annexation of east jerusalem is illegal. israel has shut down the theatre because it believes that east jerusalem is part of israel.

#2 - who shuts down an international literature festival? looks like something the taliban would do.

#3 - why are you okay with shutting down a literature festival?

to shed more light into israel's illegal annexation:

Approximately a third of the land illegally annexed in 1967 was expropriated to build 12 settlements, now home to some 200,000 Israeli settlers. The majority of the remaining land was re-zoned so as to prevent Palestinian use, and in effect serves as a land reserve for further settlement construction and expansion. While Palestinians constitute over 50 percent of the population of East Jerusalem, only 7.3 percent of the land therein is available for Palestinian construction, most of which is already built-up.

illegal.

Well when you want to incrimentally get rid of society - you slowly remove the culture - smash the schools - rape the woman and boys - making them literally - illiterate and non-functional sexual beings...much like the burning of books - folks forget that part of the communist idea was a tad bit jewish - sort of a Kabutz affair big time - along with the old Nazi movement (national socialism) which had some very fine secualrist jewish minds involved - we are protective of the Jews that's fine as long as they are behaving like Jews - old religions are very orderly and good - It's a shame that there are those in Israel who call themselves Jews and are not...Christ said the same thing back when they were bikering about real estate - "Those who call themselves Jews (Judeans) are not but of the synagog (gathering) of satan (the liar and slanderer) -not a lot has changed...When was the last time one of these leaders actually took time in private and prayed to God for the sake of goodness? I doubt if they consider doing the right thing - or really praying unless it is for show.

Too bad you are unable to support your assine assertations....you said Israel under international law had no authority...whether you or the other gerbils think it's illegal or not is irrelebvant..the fact is under international law Israel is the defato authority.

I think your quato for making things up has been filled...no more than 2 clangers a day

When it isn't illegal....I believe there's a phrase that defines this sort of thing...

Jew Baiting...blood libel....you know your ilks methods...

The whole idea of Jewishness must be put aside and these situation must be looked at and judged without bias - or this silly anti-semetic dribble.. It's either right or wrong! IF the west looked upon Israel as a people - instead of some strange phenomena based in religion - we might get some real perspective. BUT - no - this reminds me of a punk kid that is protected by a nasty mother - who stands and screams "my boy is a good boy and would never do such a thing" - well lady - your boy might be human and not a saint - and the Israeli leadership might be motivated like anyone else - by the legal and moral mind and the crimminal mind - most humans have both - and the Jews are no exception.

so which is it? occupation or annexation? israel is doing this because it believes east jerusalem is part of israel. i'm only asking because you seem to care so much about the context of international law.

whether you or the other gerbils think it's illegal or not is irrelebvant..

me and other gerbils? are you calling the rest of the world gerbils? are you downplaying the fact that international law has stated israel's annexation of east jerusalem to be illegal? if you don't believe me, look up resolutions 2253 to see what the world (or as you like to call them, gerbils) think about israel's annexation.

again, why are you okay with shutting down a literature festival?

Next we will have dogs sleeping with cats.

The end is near (sobbing).

Being called a "gerbil" is like being called a Goy - just a common animal not to be respected - Jewish racism seems to be spreding into the anglo realm...maybe we have honourary Jews now? Maybe when you join the club - you get to hold all of humanity in contempt - and by doing so -you get to do buisness with out goodness and rationalize it by saying - "we treat them like gerbils and cattle because the are and we are heavenly - and we are going to be rich and live like gods because we are superiour and can plunder the human race -----NOPE - those days are over - big buisness - the jews - and the wacko muslims etc - have no right to look at us as infidels..because we are just as holy as the next - and we are not dumb animals.

it's all fun and games until houses are demolished and building permits are only given to jews.

oh the humanity!

[ironstone]

I wonder what kind of theme was behind this so called "theatre".Were there plays and literature promoting violence toward Israel?

Care to cite this law that says it is illegal?

Bet you can't...

[bush_cheney2004]

Substandard housing should be demolished....not safe for occupants. Wanna buy a Caterpillar D-9...cheap?

[wulf42]

Who cares what Israel does to them??..the Palistinians aren't getting much sympathy these days.

that happens when your a bunch of terrorists.

[dub]

and the housing permits?

more than half of the east jerusalem population is arab, yet, they can only use 10% of the land. hm. something is a little fishy here and i'm not talking about your constant refusal to admit wrong doings by israel.

[bush_cheney2004]

and the housing permits?

...plus inspections! No wonder Anne Coulter rips 'em for poor or nonexistent indoor plumbing.

"Wrong doings".....such a quaint notion.

[dub]

...plus inspections! No wonder Anne Coulter rips 'em for poor or nonexistent indoor plumbing.

yep. it's all because of the inspections! not because they're not jews! more denial.

"Wrong doings".....such a quaint notion.

still refusing to admit it.

for a guy who is all about no bullshit, open and honest discussion, you sure side-step a lot of issues.

Dude, you're still hung up on Jooooooooooos.

What's the issue? You want a kinder and friendlier OCCUPATION?

Don't confuse side-stepping with indifference.

[dub]

Dude, you're still hung up on Jooooooooooos.

uhm. we're talking about the arabs not being able to build houses in east jerusalem while the others (who happen to be jews) are able to.

talking about the jews is sort of unavoidable, don't you think, dude?

What's the issue? You want a kinder and friendlier OCCUPATION?

Don't confuse side-stepping with indifference.

don't confuse indifference with making excuses and trying to justify something that is obviously wrong.
