Israel-Gaza conflict: ‘Israel' May have Committed War Crimes, says UN Human Rights Chief
The two week offensive in Gaza, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian men, women and children in the crowded coastal enclave, could have seen war crimes committed by Israel, the UN's top human rights official has warned. The remarks from UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay in Geneva came a week after the Jewish entity escalated its Operation Protective Edge - launched with the stated purpose of halting Hamas rocket fire - from aerial bombardments into a ground campaign that has resulted in a sharp increase in Palestinian casualties. They raised the possibility that the military campaign, if it continues much longer or is escalated further, could turn into a public relations and diplomatic debacle for Jewish entity as happened with its Operation Cast Lead campaign launched in Gaza in 2008 and 2009. Citing cases of Israeli air strikes and shelling of houses and hospitals, Ms Pillay told a UN session considering a resolution to set up an international inquiry into Jewish entity's actions that "there seems to be a strong possibility international humanitarian law has been violated in a manner that could amount to war crimes".

What level of proof does the world require in order to establish that the Jewish state's slaughter of Palestinians constitutes crimes against humanity. And if history has to be considered then what the Jewish state has been perpetrating against the Palestinians since 1948, is nothing short of genocide. Yet despite the abundance of such evidence the West and its proxies refuse to accept such assertions, and continuously hold the oppressed people of Palestine accountable. The only solution to the problem of Palestine is for the Muslim armies of the neighbouring countries to rediscover their sense of purpose for defending Islam, and liberating Palestine from the Jewish usurper.
King Abdullah Receives Honorary Doctorate for Courage
Egypt's Al-Azhar University has granted King Abdullah an honorary doctorate degree for his courage. The university announced that the degree comes in appreciation of the king's sincere efforts in serving Islam and Muslims and for his courageous stance on Egypt and its people, said Osama Al-Abd, head of Al-Azhar.

How can anyone in their sane mind award King Abdullah a prize for bravery? Look at the coward Abdullah who rather than standing up to the Jewish state's massacre of Palestinians chooses to collude with it. If there is a prize to be awarded then both Abdullah and Sisi should be given the prize for treachery and hypocrisy. Allah says in the Quran:
((الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّن بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ نَسُواْ اللّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ))
"The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: they enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse". [TMQ At-Tawba: 67]
Pakistan Assures US Zarb-e-Azb is Against All Terrorists
Pakistan on Monday assured the United States that Islamabad was addressing the threat of terrorism through Operation Zarb-e-Azb, which will ensure that there is no discrimination or distinction between the several terrorist groups in North Waziristan. Voices have been raised in Washington that the army here is giving a safe passage to the Haqqani Network. The assurance was given to Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador James Dobbins by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Policy and National Security Sartaj Aziz, as well as Chief of the Army Staff General Raheel Sharif during wide-ranging talks on domestic and international issues on Monday. During Dobbin's farewell call on Pakistani officials, according to the Foreign Office, Pakistan committed to a peaceful, stable and united Afghanistan. Sartaj Aziz also underlined Pakistan's support for a peaceful democratic transition, underscoring its vital importance for stability in Afghanistan and the region. Dobbins told the Pakistani leaders that the US supported its relationship with Pakistan for regional stability and agreed to continue working together in order to build a stronger partnership to advance the common objectives. The adviser highlighted the instrumental role of the Pakistan-US Strategic Dialogue in fostering closer collaboration between the two countries in diverse fields, including trade, economy, energy, counter-terrorism, education and science and technology. Reviewing the process since its revitalisation last year, the two sides expressed satisfaction over the steady enhancement of mutual understanding and fruitful cooperation. The two sides reiterated their resolve to further deepen the bilateral relationship and strengthen mutual consultations on Afghanistan post-2014 with a view to advancing the shared objectives of peace, stability and economic development in the region and beyond.

Dobbin's America's Viceroy in Pakistan revealed to true face of America's Raj in Pakistan by holding to account both the Pakistani civil and military leadership regarding operations in North Waziristan. Dobbin's was unequivocal in his determination to see Pakistan pursue all those people who are opposed to America's hegemony in the region. Rather than standing firm against America, the Pakistani leadership duly complied and the severity of drone attacks has only increased.
With such leaders one can only expect that America's domination of Pakistani society and life will get much under the disguise of ‘deepening the bilateral relations'.
