JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters at schools in the Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood of East Jerusalem on Monday, with dozens of parents and children suffering gas inhalation.

A member of a parents committee, Hasan Abdo, told Ma’an that Israeli forces deployed around schools on Monday and fired tear gas in the neighborhood.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Ma’an police came to the area to investigate a “local incident” in which Palestinians were preventing a new headmistress from entering a school.

Rosenfeld said locals were angry that this particular headmistress was chosen.

Palestinians hurled rocks at police in the area, who responded with tear gas, he said.

“Three policemen were injured — one of them was taken to the hospital and two were injured lightly,” Rosenfeld added.

Abdo said Israel’s Jerusalem municipality deliberately neglects schools in East Jerusalem, despite the fact that parents and students have lobbied for better services for Palestinian students.

Four out of eight municipality schools in Jabal al-Mukabbir have not yet started the school year because the demands of the parents’ committees have still not been met, he said.

Over 6,000 students use the eight municipality schools but there is an acute shortage of classrooms, with over 60 additional rooms needed to meet demand.

The Israeli municipality does not work “seriously” with the the parents committee, even though it promised to review educational issues raided by the groups, Abdo added.



 

THE LEGAL RIGHT OF RESISTANCE

Is Resisting Genocide a Human Right?

Right to Resist

81 Notre Dame Law Review1275 (2006). Conducting an in-depth study of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and also discussing other genocides, this article details the inadequacy of many of the international community’s response to genocides, such as “targeted sanctions” or international peacekeeping forces. Examining international legal authorities such as the Genocide Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Court of Justice, the article demonstrates that groups which are being subjected to genocide have a legal right of self-defense. International treaties, Security Council arms embargoes, or national gun control laws cannot lawfully be enforced in a manner which prevents self-defense resistance to a genocide in progress, because under international law, the prohibition against any form of complicity in genocide takes legal precedence over lesser laws.

Genocide in Photos

Since 1937 (Pre)Israel terrorism commits ongoing massacres in Palestine. Violent genocide, but the least known, silent genocide causing excess death by deliberate racist policies of deprivation. The same deprivation which according the Israeli narrative have cost 1/6 of Jewish Holocaust victims (1 of 6 million). The cost in human lives by avoidable mortality for the sake of the creation of Israel according to research (by Dr. Gideon Polya) in Palestine and neighboring countries is 24 million lives.
