The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted almost unanimously against Israel. Five new resolutions were passed, with the United States being the only country voting against the resolutions. Israel refused to take part in the voting.
The UN is demanding Israel stop stealing Palestinian land and stop zionist settlements. The UN is also demanding Israelis to get out of West Bank.

King of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, in welcoming U.S. President Barack Obama, said Israel must accept the State of Palestine. He says the Arab Spring demands it, and he is anticipating an Arab Summer. He indicated that his government must follow the will of the Arab people!
The King of Jordan also expressed concern with the ongoing U.S. led war in Syria and the growing number of refugees coming into Jordan.

During his trip to Israel, U.S. President Barack Obama urged Israelis and Palestinians to put aside differences and reconcile.
How can Palestinians put aside differences and reconcile when it is the United States that continues to support Israeli crimes against Palestinians?!? Day after day, week after week, months after month, year after year it is the Israelis who take Palestinian land, who raid Palestinian homes, who prevent Palestinians from getting jobs, who arbitrarily lock up Palestinians for indefinite “administrative detention”, who assassinate Palestinians, who bomb Palestinians…..and it’s all funded with the tax dollars of the United States citizen!
All actions by Palestinians pale in comparison to what the Israelis are doing. And the actions of the Palestinians are in response to what the Israelis are doing, the Israelis draw first blood almost daily!
Obama you’ve got to be the World’s biggest hypocrite!

Since last year the Israeli zoinist government has been pushing to build a military academy (aka plan 51870) on the Mount of Olives near Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
On 07 March 2013, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) radio announced a halt to the final approval process for the academy, until after U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit later this month (20-22 March).
Since last year several Christian groups have held protests to try and stop Israel’s plans. The planned Israeli Military College is so large that it will cover the top of the hill, and have an underground parking lot five stories tall!

Hamas, and the militia group Islamic Jihad, says if U.S. President Barack Obama visits al-Aqsa Mosque without Palestinian approval it will be taken as a declaration of war against Palestine.
There are reports that Obama will visit Israel, and the territories Israel illegally occupies, later in the month. Israel illegally controls Al-Quds (Jerusalem), and there is word among Palestinians that Obama will visit al-Aqsa with Israeli protection, and in defiance of the fact that it is sovereign Palestinian territory (just like the recalcitrant IDF soldiers that have recently been shooting Palestinians at the Mosque).
UN Security Council Resolution 478 basically says Israeli occupation of Jerusalem is illegal under international law.

Israeli soldiers attacked protesting Palestinians at the al-Aqsa Mosque. Palestinians responded with firebombs.
The protest has been ongoing since Israeli soldiers stormed the Mosque on 03 March 2013. They broke up a Qur’an recitation, with one IDF troop kicking and trampling the Qur’an.
No mention by U.S. media!
Also not mentioned is that fact that Israel has not stopped attacking Gazans. The latest attack involves an attack by IDF personnel on farmers in the town of Jabalia. One Palestinian wounded. This is yet another violation of the most recent cease fire agreement. Last week six Palestinians were wounded by IDF troops in Gaza Strip.
The navies of United States, Greece and Israel have begun two week long war games. This is a continuation of war games started in 2011 called Noble Dina. The main purpose of the war games is to protect new natural gas operations in the massive Leviathan petroleum fields under the Mediterranean Sea.

Israeli media reporting that Syrian rebels have captured a UN peacekeeper convoy in the Golan Heights. The rebels consider the UN forces enemies, even though the UN is actually supporting the overthrow of the President of Syria.
“The command of the Martyrs of Yarmouk announced that it is holding forces of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force until the withdrawal of forces of the regime of (President) Bashar Assad from the outskirts of the village of Jamla. If no withdrawal is made within 24 hours we will treat them as prisoners.”-video posted on internet

According to Israeli media sources, U.S. President Barack Obama will demand that Israel pull out of West Bank.
However things get confusing as some Israeli sources cite the Washington DC based World Tribune, which in turn cites unnamed Israeli sources!
Reports say Obama will make the demand during his 20 March 2013 visit to Israel. It is part of plans to create a Palestinian state by 2014.
The World Tribune did cite the Israeli source, Makor Rishon, as saying the current Netanyahu government will remove Israeli settlers from West Bank.
30 January 2013, several hours ago it was reported that Israeli planes hit a Syrian army convoy near the border with Lebanon. Then, just recently, another report that says Israeli planes hit a Syrian military compound!
Reports say the convoy was targeted because Israel believed it was delivering weapons to Lebanon. The source of the report was U.S. backed Syrian rebels.
Israeli media reports that Syrian military commanders say no such attack took place. Instead, Syrian officials say the Israeli airstrike targeted an experimental weapons center in Jamraya. Two people were killed, five wounded.
So far officials with Israel have not commented.
21 December 2012, the United Nations renewed its peacekeeper observation mission in the Golan Heights, but Japan says no more and is pulling out.
On 19 December, the UN Security Council extended the Golan Heights mission to 30 June 2013. On 21 December, Japanese media reporting that Japan’s Defense Minister, Satoshi Morimoto, ordered the Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF) peacekeeper contingent out of the Golan. Interestingly, the Israeli media reported on the Japanese pullout back on 11 December!
Japanese officials blame the Syrian ‘civil’ war.
It’s that same reasoning that the Israeli government is using for increased military activity in the Golan. For the first time ever, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) combat exercises, in the Golan Heights, were held during the Hanukkah holiday. The Netzach Yehuda battalion, from the Kfir Brigade, now holds that distinction.
Battalion leaders revealed the combat training is for an enemy Israel is not used to fighting: “The fact that the exercise is aimed at fighting against a different enemy, which behaves differently from what we are used to, is a new and special thing for the fighters, and therefore this is a great professional improvement.”-Lieutenant Colonel Telem Chazan
The Japanese SDF had been observing the ‘peace’ in the Golan since 1996, and this is the first time the Japanese government has ended a peacekeeping mission for security reasons.
Israel took the Golan from Syria during the 1967 war, and again during the 1973 war. Then in 1981 Israelis passed the Golan Heights Law, a way of unofficially annexing the territory. But as far back as 1967 the United Nations passed UNSCR 242, which has as demand number one: “Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied….”
There is also the UN General Assembly resolution 3414 (XXX) of 05 December 1975: “…immediate, unconditional and total withdrawal of Israel from the Arab territories occupied since 1967.”
UN Security Council resolution 497 of 17 December 1981: “…the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan was null and void and without international legal effect…”
But ironically it’s the U.S./European/Israeli backed Syrian ‘civil’ war that has the UNSC extending the peacekeeping mission in the Golan Heights: “Recent incidents across the cease-fire line have shown the potential for escalation of tensions between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic, and jeopardize the cease-fire between the two countries.”
Sounds like a set up, to me.
