I get an access denied when trying to read the page. Just me?
There is no Palestine anymore. We failed as humanity, again.
EDIT – Reply to a comment but mistakenly commented directly on the post.
There(Palestine) still is. But it is in grave danger. And most European countries(barring a few like Spain) let Israel do whatever they want(especially Germany which enabled it like a heartless regime) and now Israel is paying them back by voting against Ukraine(and European security in general).
Europe needs to develop its own foreign policy based on both compassion and pragmatism(for example – a big reduction in refugees can be seen by avoiding the catastrophes like Gaza in the first place).
Switzerland has shockingly abdicated its responsibility as the depository of the Geneva Conventions by refusing to convene the Conference of Parties despite overwhelming demand from the UN and most states worldwide. This decision represents a stunning abandonment of Switzerland’s historic duty to uphold international humanitarian law.
Western governments are systematically dismantling the modern edifice of international law to shield the Israeli regime – a state currently facing genocide charges at the ICJ and whose leaders are wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. Switzerland has now joined this destructive project, not only arresting journalists who criticize Israel but also blocking a Geneva conference that a clear majority of countries demanded to hold the regime accountable.
The proud Swiss tradition of neutrality is dead and buried.
> The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ibrahim Khraishi, told Reuters earlier that his delegation did not plan to attend the event, criticising a draft declaration circulated among participants.
–
> A member of The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation said that the group had also planned to miss the event, saying the document „did not reflect the gravity of the situation“.
–
> Israel, whosewar with Palestinian militant group Hamas has devastated Gaza, and which has been expanding settlements in the West Bank, stirring fears of annexation, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It also criticised the Swiss conference, calling it „part of the legal warfare against Israel“.
–
> Britain felt that, along with many other states, it could not fully support a proposed declaration as a precondition for attending the conference, according to a statement from its diplomatic mission.
–
> Diplomats from other Western states that back Israel also privately expressed concerns about the meeting, although at least some European countries were planning to attend.
So no one liked the draft and everyone this actually was about didn’t plan to attend in the first place?
I fail to see how it’s a bad thing that this was cancelled then.
