U.N. Official Describes 'Shocking' Scene in Syria Refugee Camp

By David Arnott

A top United Nations official has described conditions in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital as "shocking."

Filippo Grandi, head of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which cares for Palestinian refugees, visited the Yarmouk camp in Damascus on Sunday. He said he was "deeply disturbed and shaken by what I observed" in the camp, where up to 20,000 people have been trapped for eight months by an army siege.

The UNRWA released a photo taken on Jan. 31, above, which shows a sea of people lining up to receive food supplies.

President Bashar Assad's administration and to a lesser extent rebels fighting to overthrow him have been accused of preventing food and medical care from reaching people in besieged areas of the country.

On Saturday the U.N. Security Council passed a landmark resolution demanding an end to restrictions on humanitarian operations in Syria.  .Link to Shocking Scene<

Official: PLO could recognize Israel as 'Jewish state'

    TO ALL PALESTINIANS WITH SOME HONOUR LEFT.

    I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but it has to be said.

    As you may recall in my latest article 'Kingdom of David' I said that the chief Israeli negotiator Mrs Tzipi Livni hinted that Mr Mahmoud Abbas the head of the PA, might be susceptible to the idea of recognizing Israel as a 'Jewish State' and I warned of the ramifications of such a move.

    Now read the article below and see what is the costly price of apathy, non-engagement and sitting on the fence.

    We allowed them (PA+PLO) to play havoc with our cause and fritter away our lands and our rights. I have been calling upon you to start a referendum amongst all Palestinians in vain.

    I hope that you're not surprised that this has finally happening. Palestinians everywhere are guilty as any other in the PA or the PLO who collaborated with our enemies and sacrificed Palestine in the name pragmatism.

    As the old saying goes " As you are you'll be governed". Your silence is tantamount to treason. Shame on you.                             >Link to complete story<

Netanyahu's insistence that the Palestinians recognize Israel as 'The Jewish State' is a death sentence, not only for peace but for the Palestinians' hopes and aspirations.

Peace and Justice in Palestine, the whole of the Middle East and the entire world will not be achieved until and unless all Jews all over the world stand up in the face of Israeli tyranny and aggression and say not in our name.

Munich Olympics, Revisited: Do Only Some Massacres Matter?

Alison Weir is the executive director of If Americans Knew and president of the Council for the National Interest.

The Washington Post has published a moving article, “Russian Jews remember Israeli athletes murdered at 1972 Munich Olympic Games.” Unfortunately, it gets a few things wrong and provides a one-sided context for the tragedy.

Allow me to correct the report and fill in a few of the missing facts.  >Link to Informative Report<

On this Valentine day, a message of love and longing to my first and ever lasting love Palestine. You may love as many as your heart desires...you may travel and live in many lands...but your love and longing will be always be to your first love...home.

The Zionist occupiers of our land kill, maim and imprison our boys and girls. They demolish our homes, uproot our trees, burn our meadows and desecrate our holy places. They steel and squander our national resources. Try as they may our beloved flag will stay flying with pride as long as a single Palestinian is still alive. We shall prevail.
