Title III — General Limitations

Human Rights

Sec. 301. (a) Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended to read as follows:

Sec. 502B. Human Rights. — (a) (1) It is the policy of the United States, in accordance with its international obligations as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations and in keeping with the constitutional heritage and traditions of the United States, to promote and encourage increased respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. To this end, a principal goal of the foreign policy of the United States is to promote the increased observance of internationally recognized human rights by all countries.

(2) It is further the policy of the United States that, except under circumstances specified in this section, no security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.

(3) In furtherance of the foregoing policy the President is directed to formulate and conduct international security assistance programs of the United States in a manner which will promote and advance human rights and avoid identification of the United States, through such programs, with governments which deny to their people internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms, in violation of international law or in contravention of the policy of the United States as expressed in this section or otherwise.

Now, since it is ONLY the United States which has vetoed SO MANY UN sanctions against Israel which the entire rest of the world in many cases favor, isn’t that just “convenient”. The fact remains, if it were not for AIPAC and the massive influence it sways over my government which in turn protects Israel from world sanctions, they could NEVER get away with the human rights violations against the Palestinians that they have been committing for years. The fact that other Arab states have also turned their backs on the Palestinians which is utterly reprehensible OR that the Palestinian leadership in the past has made mistakes does NOT, read that, does NOT absolve Israel of their guilt in the fact that approximately SIX MILLION Palestinian refugees exist worldwide, UPROOTED FROM THEIR LAND IN ISRAEL!! The root of this problem is ZIONISM, NO OTHER thing started this problem, ONLY ZIONISM!!

There is also the Arms Export Control Act passed by Congress which the sale of arms to Israel is in violation of http://samsara.cwru.edu/aeca.html

“They should have accepted peace 50 years ago and not behave like witless islamists.” What the hell “peace” are you talking about? I suppose it is “peaceful” to throw people off their land that they have been living on thousands of years and the refugees should “peacefully” accept this? Just WHO do you think you are kidding other than yourself.

The PLO killed off the moderate voice in Gaza and the West Bank leaving suicide bombers, the ultimately pointless intifadas, no infrastructure, scant education, $$$ millions in Arafat’s pockets and no hope.

‘the Israelis kill, the west pays for the bullets and coffins, and the Arab regimes cheer.’

Seems to me now that Israel only attacks when attacked and in the case of Lebanon this summer, was out to destroy the arsenal of those jackals Hezbollah. What Israel does with its aid is its own business, at least it’s a democracy. What the Palestianians do with their aid, only F knows. They should have accepted peace 50 years ago and not behave like witless islamists.

I’ve now stopped one of my monthly charity donations, which I could ill afford anyhow, on discovering it was maintaining a muslim country that preferred nuclear arms to educating its young.
