Thank you for highlighting what is happening. It seems fundamentally unjust that land can be grabbed away from the indigenous people like this.
The Israeli actions show that they do not see the Palestinians as people, and deny them basic human rights and respect. They are doing the same as was done to them, as a people, during the 1940s. How they cannot see this amazes and saddens me.
Diplomacy has so far failed. Any criticism of Israeli policies is seen as criticism of the Israeli state. What options are there to help the Palestinian people?
its rightfully thier land and should not be taken away

I believe that if enough people protest about this matter, it can make a huge impact on such a policy pursued by Israel. The British government has a part to play also and should be active in persuading Israel to abandoned this illegal action.
What is being done to Palestinians today equals a genocide! How inconceivable that in the 21st century the international community is idly standing by while our fellow humans have to suffer from misery deliberately inflicted upon them by others. We all need to do something urgently to stop this injustice! The US should stop its unconditional support to Israeli government! Hopefully the Israeli civil society will hold its government to account for inhuman actions in Gaza and West Bank. Thanks to activists such as Amnesty, global awareness about the real situation on the ground is raising despite the carefully crafted propaganda and the day is approaching when the Israeli government will not be able to get away with this.
Acknowledging that this is wrong is the beginning of fighting human rights abuse. Well done.
it is so abhorrent that in the year 2010, five years away from the dubious achievement of the millenium goals, that one eighth of women in sierra leone are still dying in child birth. This is not only shocking and horrific, but is a severe wake up call that something must be done to prevent maternal mortality in the developing world.
Women living in remote area in Peru should also have the right to maternal health.
They should not suffer from discrimination and other human rights violations which could affect their right to maternal health.
Nice one guys we used your same idea really and did a rally too, at one point we had the police come down in a riot van! Check out our gallery once I get round to it!
groan... bad pun lol hope they listened
