Strip‘s eastern border.
The statement, which was proposed by Kuwait, 
demanded an “independent and transparent 
investigation” under international law into the 
bloody events on Friday’s

Day protests.
The statement also expressed “grave concern at 
the situation at the border” and stressed “the right to peaceful protest”.
However, the 
<http://tlio.org.uk/us-blocks-unsc-statement-on-israels-use-of-force-on-land-day/https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/country/united-states.html>US 
blocked the statement on Saturday, with US 
representative to the UN Walter Miller saying 
“bad actors” were using the “protests as a cover 
to incite violence” and to “endanger innocent lives.”


US, UK ‘complicit in Israel’s occupation’

Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine 
Liberation Organization 
(<http://tlio.org.uk/us-blocks-unsc-statement-on-israels-use-of-force-on-land-day/https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/organisations/plo.html>PLO) 
Executive Committee, condemned the US’ decision, 
describing the US and the UK as beingcomplicit in 
Israel’s persistent violations and violence.
“The Israeli army used unbridled violence, 
unleashing more than 100 snipers and firing live 
ammunition, tear gas and rubber-coated steel 
bullets against the protesters before the very 
eyes of the entire international community,” 
Ashrawi said in a statement on Saturday.
“Yet, the UN Security Council failed to agree on 
a statement condemning the egregious violations 
that occurred at the hands of Israel.

army kills 17 Palestinians in Gaza protests (4:15)

“Such a counterproductive stance can render them 
[the UK and the US] complicit in Israel’s 
military occupation and in its persistent 
violations and violence,” she continued.
“Neither one has displayed the moral or political 
courage to hold Israel to account and to curb its illegal behaviour.”
Meanwhile, Israel’s minister of defence Avigdor 
Lieberman rejected calls for an inquiry into the actions of the Israeli army.
“Israeli soldiers did what was necessary. I think 
all our soldiers deserve a medal,” Lieberman told Army Radio on Sunday.
“As for a commission of inquiry – there won’t be one.”


Great March of Return

More than 1,500 others were wounded on Friday’s 
protest when Israeli forces fired live ammunition 
at protesters to push them back from Gaza’s 
border area, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
On Saturday, 49 more people were wounded in the ongoing demonstrations.
The mass protests, called “the Great March of 
Return”, were organised by civil society groups 
and supported by all political factions to call 
for the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
It marked the beginning of a six-week sit-in, 
starting on Land Day, an event that commemorates 
six Palestinian citizens of

who were shot dead by Israeli forces after 
protesting the government’s confiscation of large 
swaths of Palestinian land on March 30, 1976.
The sit-in ends on May 15, or

Day, which will commemorate 70 years since the 
ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians by 
Zionist militias from their villages and towns.

POST - Palestine: The Great Return March, marking 70 years since the Nakba.

 From South America, where payment must be made 
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made 
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of 
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a 
participatory role in the development of many of 
its corporations, and many of these Jews share 
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided 
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund. 
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford, 
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown 
several years before our conversation, but with 
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more 
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits 
earmarked as always for his venture capital 
benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how 
Bormann’s people operate in the contemporary 
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful 
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much “literature.”

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish 
participation in Bormann companies that when 
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the 
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. 
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities 
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen 
again because a repetition would permanently 
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin 
America, as well as with the Bormann 
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish 
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the 
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an 
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most 
efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.
