UN Resolution 1674 should be invoked to stop the genocide in Gaza

‘Tis the season of peace and goodwill to all men! Well, not according to the Israelis it would seem. As Jewish Israeli families celebrate Hanukkah by feasting, exchanging gifts and generally making merry, their neighbours in Gaza, already desperately short of the basic necessities of life, are being bombarded by Israeli Air Force jets and, with no way of defending themselves, are being murdered in their hundreds every day. So while Jewish children in Israel are joyfully opening their presents, Arab children, a few miles to the south in Gaza, lie dead and wounded in the rubble of their homes. http://news.bbc.co.uk... Is the life of a Jewish child really worth more than that of an Arab child? Is that what it says in the Torah? Well, yes, actually, at least according to Rabbi Pinchas Frankel: "Hashem had declared in Devarim 25:17-19 'eternal war' against Amalek (Arabs), and commanded the Jewish People, once they achieved stability in the Land of Israel, the Promised Land, to erase the name of Amalek" http://www.ou.org... And Rabbi Eliezer Melamed writes: "'Do not allow them to reside in your land' (Exodus 23:33). The Rambam (Hilkhot Avoda Zara 10:6) explains that when we have the power it is forbidden to allow any non-Jew to reside in our land…The Torah also exhorts: 'do not give them any consideration' (Deuteronomy 7:2), and the sages interpret this to mean that it is forbidden to provide non-Jews with any sort of foothold upon the soil of the land of Israel (Avodah Zara 20a) (and) it is forbidden to give any portion whatsoever to Arabs." http://www.yeshiva.org.il... Many Jews support the Israeli government's murder of innocent men, women and children because they are taught that Arabs are gentiles (non-Jews) living in the land that they believe was bequeathed to them, the "chosen people", by their god. The UN defines genocide thus: "Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: ( a ) Killing members of the group; ( b ) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; ( c ) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; ( d ) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; ( e ) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." http://www2.ohchr.org... Also, it was agreed in the United Nations World Summit 2005 that: "The international community, through the United Nations…has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapter VI and VIII of the Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner, through the Security Council, in accordance with the UN Charter, including Chapter VII, on a case by case basis and in cooperation with relevant regional organizations as appropriate, should peaceful means be inadequate and national authorities manifestly failing to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity." http://www.who.int... Additionally, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1674 (2006) reaffirms "the provisions of paragraphs 138 and 139 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document regarding the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity;" http://domino.un.org... Jewish religious beliefs cannot justify an act of genocide against "gentiles" any more than Islamic Jihad can justify an act of terrorism against "infidels". Therefore, the international community, under the auspices of the UN, should intervene immediately to stop the violence. Furthermore, the perpetrators of this genocide, the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert and the Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, should be brought to justice under international law. Thank you.
