To anyone reading this, please write to your Members of the European Parliament via the website http://www.writetothem.com/ and get them to take some form of action following their discussions on the Goldstone Report on the 10th March.

Dear MEPs,
I believe you are to discuss the Goldstone Report on the 10th of March.
It is very disappointing that every time this report is published, no
action follows, leading to the assumption that Israel is untouchable
and does not have to follow the International Laws and UN Resolutions.I urge you to have the courage and conviction to support:
1. Immediate and full implementation of the Goldstone Report, and
demand accountability for all violations of international law committed
by Israel in its war on Gaza;2. Unconditional, immediate and sustained opening of the crossings into
Gaza, including from the sea. Official visitors from EU countries,
including the new High Representative Catherine Ashton, should
routinely include Gaza when visiting the region, to see the devastating
effects of the two and a half year old blockade of Gaza and Operation
Cast Lead;3. Removal of Hamas from the EU terrorist list. Ex-US President Jimmy
Carter asked President Obama in 2009 to remove Hamas from the US’
terrorist list. Palestinians elected their parliamentary
representatives in elections declared free and fair by the
international observers. The collective punishment of 1.5 million
Palestinians in Gaza, which was severely tightened after the
parliamentary election, is inhumane and illegal and must end;4. Ending of the Israeli government’s obstruction of the work of Human
Rights organisations and NGOs in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian
Territories.Yours sincerely,
Sadif Raza Ditta
Narrated Anas: Allah’s Apostle said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.” Sahih Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 43, Number 624.

Dear Enquirer,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding the Report by Justice Goldstone.
Paul Nuttall MEP has asked me to answer on his behalf.
UKIP is gravely concerned about the situation between the Israelis and the Palestinians and calls for governments on both sides to come to a diplomatic, but above all peaceful, solution to the ongoing political and humanitarian problems.
UKIP does not believe that the EU should interfere in this situation, as it will only exacerbate a tense situation. Unaccountable EU bureaucrats have no place in any negotiations; this should be led by elected politicians who represent the views of democratically elected Parliaments.
Negotiations should continue using the U.N. to try and resolve what is far from a straightforward political and cultural dispute.
