Foreign Minister: We do not negotiate with pirates

We do not negotiate with pirates

Danish Foreign Minister Villy Søvndal stresses in this article that Denmark

Funny thing is, just a week ago Villy Søvndal said that he viewed the deal as a good deal, and that it fostered trust between the Israeli government and the Palestinians.

So… He expects the Israel government to hand over terrorists responsible for hundreds and hundreds of dead Israeli victims, and at the same time he won’t even negotiate with simple kidnappers whose waters are being over fished for hundreds of millions USD and whose waters are being used as a dump for the rest of the world, Somalis are not responsible for more than a dozen of dead citizens of western countries

Oh, the double standards Villy. Once again.

Ritzau perpetuates myth about flotilla

Netanyahu sends his condolences to Turkey after quake

Published 24-11-2011 – Ritzau

Ritzau once again (again, again?) perpetuates the myth about a so-called ship of activists from Turkey. In this article, other than the details about Israel’s offer of help to Turkey’s quake-victims, they say:

Ritzau continues their biased cover with the following paragraph:

Not a word about the Turkish members of the ship being radical islamists and a part of an extremist organization raising money for Hamas.

Not a word about the Israeli soldiers being hit by iron bars, attacked with knives or faced any kind of deadly violence.

Not a word about the pathetic losers on the boats with slogans like “To Gaza with love” bringing outdated medicine. 

Not a word about the fact that the UN-report vindicated and exonerated Israel of wrongdoing.

Ritzau continues as we know them.

“Yes, many of the released Palestinians are bad, seen with Israeli eyes”

“Israel could have 1.000 new prisoners tomorrow”

Published 18-10-2011 on Berlingske.dk

The head of the Danish-Palestinian Friendship Association Fathi El-Abed asks that we remember, because of the majority of the news is concerned about Gilad Shalit, that all the released prisoners are fathers, mothers, brothers or sons of someone, and they are terribly missed in both Gaza and the West Bank.

No one mentions the fact that some of the Palestinians released took part in attacks numbering hundreds of fatalities and thousands of casualties, including the Sbarro suicide bombing, the café Hillel bombing, the Dolphinarium suicide bombing, the Passover massacre, the Hebrew University bombing and many of the bus-bombing incidents. Certainly you would expect the head of the friendship association to denounce violence and murder against and on civilians? No.

On the contrary, Fathi El-Abed gives an interview on DR where he explains how emotional it is for the thousands of Palestinian families to receive the prisoners, and that it fantastic to see.

He adds that the conflict is between two countries and two people, one an occupier and one a resistance movement.

Fathi El-Abed concludes the interview by saying that he ‘unfortunately’ must agree with those who say that Israel is gearing up for another war in the Middle East, this time against Iran – quickly adding that this would ‘of course’ happen with the help of the US.

Fathi El-Abed has previously remarked that the three Israelis who were shot in the mall Rosengårdscentret in Odense, was provoking the Danish-Palestinian shooter with ‘huge Stars of David’. The shooter is serving a 10-year sentence now.

Foreign Minister playing the blame game

Israel names prisoners in exchange

Published 16-10-2011 by Ritzau and Reuters on TV2.

The article mentions known details, and in the end brings a quote from the Foreign Minister Villy Søvndal (SF). It reads:

Seems like he doesn’t dedicate too many thoughts much to those 1000-some victims and 20.000 injured in the Second Intafada. Another possibility is that he simply is not aware of the fact that almost half of the prisoners are terrorists convicted for murder and terrorism – I doubt that possibility though.

Seems like we’re playing the blame game again, Villy.

Hamas and Israel reaches deal on prisoners

Hamas and Israel reaches deal on prisoners

Published on bt.dk – 11.10.2011

The news article includes nothing else but a short paragraph reading:

While I am not totally sure of the exact semantic meaning of the word “prisoner”, it is certainly ‘problematic’ that no distinction is made between Hamas-captive Shalit, and the Palestinian prisoners. As long as Hamas is a non-state actor, Hamas holds no people imprisoned with same legal authority as Israel or any other sovereign state does. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped, and is being held contrary to international law, with not even Red Cross allowed to see him.

On the contrary, the people Israel has imprisoned includes everything from rock-throwers to mass-murders and people connected to the planning of terrorism against Israeli civilians, Jews, Muslims and Christians alike. The Palestinian prisoners’ biggest concerns are satellite TV, whole chicken and visits without handcuff.

He goes on to explain that:

All contrary to international law, and condemned many times in the UN.

He then goes on explaining that if the European Union fails, Denmark must recognize a Palestinian state themselves, as the other Nordic countries will do.
