Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources said clashes broke out on the ground between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops raiding the Nuseirat camp under the cover of artillery and aerial bombardment. The troops withdrew, leaving several militants killed.

Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau Hamas, said in a statement that Israel’s strikes targeted children and women, stressing that the Palestinian people “will not surrender, and the resistance will continue to defend their rights.”

Palestinian Presidency spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said the attack on the Nuseirat camp is a continuation of the “genocidal” war against the Palestinian people, for which the American administration should be held “fully responsible.”

This war will “destroy everything and push things towards a dangerous stage that will not achieve security or peace for anyone,” Abu Rudeina said in a press statement published by the Palestinian News Agency WAFA.

“I sign because my Jewish values of inquiry, empathy and moral courage compel me to,” said an alumna of CC ’03 and CLS ’10 who grew up in both New York and Jerusalem. “These values were nurtured in Columbia classrooms, and I know other Columbia students share them. Until my university can conduct itself in accordance with those values internally, within its communities, and around the world, it does not deserve my esteem, much less contributions of my time, money or skills.”

The alumni letter follows the University’s unprecedented aggressive actions against pro-Palestine student protesters, including suspensions and expulsion processes with inadequate due process.

During the meeting, the bilateral relationship, ways of cooperation and coordination, and strengthening the joint framework of action between all Palestinian National Action Factions and the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization were reviewed, confirming that the Organization is the unifying framework for all factions, strengthening its role, and activating its political frameworks and Trade Union Federations.

The two sides praised the struggle and sacrifices of the Palestinian people and their Resistance in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, and stressed the role of UNRWA and its preservation as it is the true witness to the tragedy of our Palestinian people. They called on donor countries not to submit to Zionist dictates and stop funding UNRWA, and they appealed to supporting countries to increase their funding for UNRWA.

DPRK: Korea Association for Human Rights Studies – Issues White Paper Condemning US! (21.1.2024)

In addition, the world human rights conference held in Vienna of Austria in June 1993 adopted the “Vienna declaration and action program” to reaffirm trust in the rights of human being stipulated by the above-mentioned declaration and apply them to practice.

However, swimming against such efforts by the international community, some countries and regions of the world are still denying the World Declaration of Human Rights and publicly committing practices running counter to it.

The dignity and rights of human being mentioned by the declaration are now ruthlessly being violated in the U.S. and other Western countries where all sorts of social evils such as gun-related crimes, racial discrimination, violent actions by police and maltreatment of women and children are rampant, the white paper said, citing data to prove such facts.

The human rights situation in EU countries is little short of that in the U.S., the white paper said, and went on:

The criminal moves of the U.S. and the West to block the international protection and promotion of human rights, contrary to the World Declaration of Human Rights, are also being brought to light in the fact that they have reduced the UN human rights arena, a theatre of dialogue and cooperation for settling the human rights issues, into a theatre of confrontation for attaining their sinister political purpose.

Lebanon: 56th Anniversary of the Founding of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine! (9.12.2023)

09/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The PFLP denies the Zionist narrative and always presents the Palestinian narrative that touched all the right-minded people of the free world! Which expressed their condemnation of the crimes of the Occupation and confirmed their support for the Palestinian cause. On this glorious day, we hope that we will all rally around our Palestinian National Project, and around the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and that we will achieve the ambitions of the sons and daughters of our Palestinian people! Palestinian National Unity is our path to victory, liberation, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its capital!

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”
