RE: Israel – Palestine Conflicts

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to you to address the Israel-Palestine conflict asap. The U.N. Human Rights Council has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than any other nations in the world since its creation in 2006. Israel is claiming to be a modern democracy but it continues to flout international law. We need an urgent measure that will protect Palestinians men, women and children and provide a short-term humanitarian relief and rehabilitation. We have to deter the future violations of international humanitarian law in both Israel and Palestine.

Sir, Your good office condemned on May 14, 2018 appalling deadly violence by Israeli Security Forces in Gaza. On May 15, 2018 you suppose to call for an independent investigation but you told a regular briefing in Geneva that “Israel had a right to defend its borders according to international law”. You just repeated the US President Hon. Trump statement “Israel has a right to defend itself”. In my view this is unacceptable sir. As per your view, it is fair enough on the right to defend itself but please explain your justification for the shooting of 8 innocent children’s. Unless I am mistaken, U.N. has the responsibility to the Palestinians to ensure that Israel should keeps to the agreement that was made in 1948. We need a right minded leader to speak up on both Israel and Palestine. Israel claims that Palestinians broken the border, destroyed military facilities and kidnapped Israeli soldiers. I say with confidence that the Palestinians never broke the border but Israeli security forces drones fire tear gas at Gaza-Israel border protest. (It is available in youtube)       

Sir, the current Israeli regimen obliterated the founding principles of the Israel. Israel has committed more atrocities on inhuman and illegal treatment of unarmed protestors. We should be ashamed for trying to justify this atrocity. I’m highly appalled any regime that shoots unarmed civilians has absolutely no legitimacy. I’m highly condemning this violence vociferously and publicly. If we want peace in the region, we need some majority people from both Israel and Palestine to rise up and declare that they want peace and work together because their voice is most important to bring the peace in the region or U.N. should be trade sanctions against Israel so that Israel will change their whole approach to the Palestinians people and Gaza. Otherwise, Israel will continue to build on Palestinian land and continue its land grabbing with the blessings of the USA.

Sir, I most humbly prayed you an independent inquiry into violence on the border between Israel and Gaza. I would like to see your good office as the best route to establishing independent inquiry. The U.N. has the reputation for the justice and it brings peaceful resolution to the violence and an alleviation of the humanitarian crisis.

Respectfully yours,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.
