“Shame on the UN Security
Council’s failure to pass a resolution to end the Israeli occupation on
Palestinians”
“The Jordanian Ambassador
Dina Kawar submitted the motion after it had been agreed upon by 22 Arab states
and the Palestinian Authority”
“The situation in the Council
has been going on for over 25 years on this subject without resolution”
“The UN Security Council
continue to sit on their backsides and evade the issues”
“They are using all kinds of
excuses, while the Palestinians have no hope or dignity left”
“The UN Security Council is a
disgrace and is not fit for purpose!”
“Israel’s aggression
continues to occupy land which is not legally theirs”
“This has been stated, yet
nothing by the Security Council has been done about it”
“In 1967 Israel seized
Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Syria’s Golan heights and set up settlements”
“Israel also invaded Lebanon
in 1978 & 1982 and maintained long-term occupation in the southern part of
the country”
“These wars and their
occupation were all related to the Palestine question and have deepened the
political crisis surrounding it”
“Even after Israel was forced
to withdraw from Egypt and Lebanon, the Palestine (and Golan) occupation has
still continued”
“Since resolution 242 and 338
the Security Council has taken no significant steps to end the Israel-Palestine
conflict”
“The US’s influence has kept
the issues off the Council’s agenda”
“When the Council members
have introduced resolutions, responding to periodic crisis, the US has
repeatedly used its symbolic weight”
“The Council will only become
effective once it confronts the US’s displeasure and US’s pressure”
“Recent US policies by John
Kerry have only made matters worse”
“Samantha Power, the US
Ambassador to the UN, stated that the US searches every day for new ways to
take constructive steps to…”
“…support the parties in
making progress towards achieving a negotiated settlement”
“This is utter rubbish”
“Their policies are set to
undermine any proper legal solutions, so that the status quo remains in favour of their Master – Israel!”
“The Jordanian Ambassador
expressed that the Council bears both the legal & moral responsibilities to
resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict”
“It has to be said after 25
years of continued failure…”
“…the Security Council is not
fit for purpose, as it can no longer justify its appalling position and should
be disbanded”
“A new independent body needs
to be set up which is just and cannot be influenced by outside interested
parties and…”
“…where the law comes into
force finally and sets up the solution to make the two state situations happen”
“Then where there are illegal
settlements that have been erected, they must be pulled down”
“The world owes the people of
Palestine justice against an unjust state of suppression and apartheid”
“What are we as a human race?”
“Have we no sense of justice?”
“Must we allow ourselves to
be continuously bullied by those who think they can control us?”
“Freedom has to be fought
for, against an oppressor that feels it has all the guns, against what is
legally and morally right”
“Until we learn to stand up
against injustice, there really is no point in being alive. We might as well be dead”
“Two World Wars were fought
against oppressors who used force to take what they wanted”
“Blood was spilt by those
brave men and women, who sacrificed their lives so that we may live in freedom”
“Were their actions for
nothing? The answer was, “NO!””
“Can we now allow another
oppressor to keep the status quo and
not allow human dignity and freedom to prevail?”
“They enjoy freedom while
others are denied it!”
“Let the world come together
and do what is right, not only morally but lawfully as well”
“We owe it to our fellow
human beings to speak out and to defend Mankind from those who wish, like a
cancer, to control our every being”

to claim lives”
“Some of which are the many
voluntary Doctors and Nurses, who give up their time with care and compassion”
“It is extremely necessary
for Governments to invest in proper health systems for their people”
“The correct information must
be given at all times”
“It’s the education of the
disease & how to further explain its transmission which is crucially
important in stopping this disease spreading”
“Governments have the
responsibility to act correctly, but often it is found they do not”
“The Ebola virus has already
killed more than 7,800 people with more than 20,000 cases reported this year
alone”
“A new cemetery in Liberia
has been opened to provide for a safe burial site”
“It is the traditional
practice of washing the victim’s body which allows people to come into close
contact with the disease”
“When people do not wear the
appropriate clothing or use important hygiene, so the disease continues to
spread and so more people die”
“Again it is education
together with medical care, which will finally eliminate this disease”
“It is up to the
Pharmaceutical companies to have done their bit to eliminate this disease”
“It has been in existence for
many decades and nothing has been done about it”
“Their inability to find a
solution to this disease has caused many lives to be lost”
“It is only when there is
International pressure that anything is even started”

Peter Greste and his colleagues Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed were sentenced
to seven and to ten years”
“They are accused of
spreading false news to help a terrorist group”

the news nothing less! Their eye witnessed accounts were shown on Al-Jazeera
news”
“It is a testament to their
work in the field and professionalism in bringing the facts to the general
public”
“Many of their colleagues
around the world continue to protest against their injustice”
“It is later this week that a
court will decide whether they have grounds for appeal”
“The kangaroo courts of Egypt
leave a lot to be desired and where fear is at the very heart of their legal
practice”
“It is making a mockery of
what is right and legal and what is subterfuge!”
“Egypt is seen around the
world as a failed state”
“Those in power wish to
remain so and will continue with their iron tight grip on their fellow
suffering public”
“They fear democracy and will
no longer listen to the people where justice is concern”
“They are now a laughing
stock of what the legal system is all about”
“Not one is safe in that
country and so subservience to this punishing regime of dictatorship remains in
control”

“The courage of the people
and those who were their rescuers was astonishing by any other means”
“Those who have already been
rescued from the blazing Italian ferry The Norman Atlantic amid freezing
temperatures…”
“…were praising the bravery
of these men and women”
“It has taken an International
rescue effort amid high winds and treacherous conditions for them to achieve
this rescue operation”
“Italian and Albanian
authorities were taking part, working right through the night in very difficult
conditions”
“Italian and Greek
helicopters also worked through the night to air lift passengers to safety”
“Some were taken to hospital,
where they were treated for hyperthermia”
“On deck the crew tried to
lower life boats, but not all the passengers could get in as there was no
co-ordination”
“Passengers themselves opened
up boxes and got out life vests, trying to save themselves”
“There are seven other ships
in the area and rescue helicopters with search and rescue support aircraft were
being sent in”
“An Italian Air Force
helicopter pilot said that acrid smoke from the ferry filled his helicopter
cabin making rescue even more challenging”
“We must praise the bravery
and relentless determination by all the rescue workers in their delivery”

human lives and to alleviate any long-term suffering”
“They will be remembered for
all time”

people are the inadequacies of Governments and mismanagement of companies
around the globe”
“It does not matter whether
it is an airline or a cafe that cannot get its goods because supplies are not
there”
“Too many things are going
wrong because the structure to supply proper utilities is not there”
“Until these people are shown
up for their lack of responsibilities, nothing will ever change”
“Too many lives are being
disrupted due to poor management and what is supposed to be the basic rights of
people in today’s society”
“Airplanes, which are not
safe to fly or fly over war-torn countries – their corporations have to be made
accountable”
“It is always the public who
suffer with their lives and not the management who controls these operations”
“Staff of a company was told
on Christmas Day that their jobs were no longer there for them and all will be
made redundant”

Governments that must deal with the issue and put in safeguards that all

its citizens”

Russia, just an iron fist wrapped around them to keep the status quo…”

power for themselves and not for the interests of their people”

that Moscow is now feeling the effects of their cavalier ways”

injustice that continues to sway in many areas of the globe”
“Until there is a positive
stance from those who are supposed to support the alleviation of suffering by
the suppressed regimes…”
“…nothing will ever change”
“We all have a responsibility
to do what is right and not to recoil from those who hold the purse strings or
influence”
“Just because they have a
different agenda to what is morally right”
“It is high time that the
world starts to think and act and get the right honourable people in posts that
will make a difference…”

in their cushy roles”

resolution to the UN Security Council to put an end to the conflict and
occupation by Israel on Palestinians”

submission of their rule of dominance is all they want…”
“…together with dissolving
any Palestinians who live and breathe”

Council get off their back sides and do what is morally right then they have no
place to be in their posts”

China and Russia”

countries who fail to adhere to a proper civilised human rights programme of
their own”
“It is high time that this
opposition to what is morally right and where justice by the law is regarded as
sacrosanct is thrown out”

highest in the world that must be adhered to so that suffering is no longer
tolerated…”

is!”
