European trouble makers cause trouble then complain - oh sorry 'Officials'

Diplomats from a number of European countries and the UN have reacted angrily after Israeli soldiers intervened to prevent them delivering aid to Bedouins in the West Bank, despite being there in their own free will.

One whining French diplomat said she was forced to the ground from her vehicle.

The aid was being delivered to Khirbet al-Makhul after homes there were demolished under a High Court order.

An Israeli spokesman said it was reviewing whether the diplomats had abused their privileges.

'Throwing stones'

The homes in Khirbet al-Makhul were knocked down on Monday after Israel's High Court ruled that they had been built without the correct permits.

BBC Middle East correspondent Kevin Connolly, in Jerusalem, says the Bedouin villagers of Khirbet al-Makhul have refused to leave the land, which is why they're being evicted.

The diplomats said that as soon as they arrived, around a dozen Israeli army jeeps converged on them and ordered them not to unload their truck.

This is standard practice in any country where an operation of this kind is taking place and its obvious these interferring Europeans would be asked to leave if they're obstructing a government approved operation.

French diplomat Marion Fesneau-Castaing told Reuters news agency: "They dragged me out of the truck and forced me to the ground with no regard for my diplomatic immunity.

He probably never mentioned the fact that he'd been abusing the soldiers beforehand as is standard practice with these pro-Palestinian agitators. 

"This is how international law is being respected here." This trouble maker exclaimed, all his career  ignoring the rockets fired into Israel from Gaza by his friends in Hamas.

One European official described the Israeli actions as "shocking and outrageous".

The above 'official' should witness the aftermath of a Hamas rocket attack if he wants to see something 'shocking'

Another spokesman added: "We have repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our concerns over such demolitions, which we view as causing unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians; as harmful to the peace process; and as contrary to international humanitarian law."

Again this official obviously didn't point out the reasons for these evictions in the first place, notably that these people were there illegally due to sanitation reasons as just one of the reasons. Unlike third world Europe Israel takes hygiene seriously and one of the key reasons for these evictions was the refusal of the illegal occupiers to comply with sanitation guidelines.

UN Humanitarian Co-ordinator James Rawley said the Israeli authorities should "live up to their obligations as occupying power to protect those communities under their responsibility".

James Rawley obviously needs to do his homework because the Israeli authorities went our of their way to help those communities but those 'communities' refused help - WHICH IS THE REASON FOR THE EVICTIONS!

The Haaretz news website quoted the Israel Defense Forces as saying that "dozens of Palestinians, foreign activists and diplomats" had tried to set up tents, which it called a "provocation".

And it WAS provocation.

Stones were thrown at security forces and stun grenades were fired to disperse the crowd, the IDF was quoted as saying.

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Paul Hirschson told Agence France-Presse that Israel might lodge a complaint over Ms Fesneau-Castaing.

And right to.

"If she did participate then a formal complaint will be filed because that is not the way diplomats behave," he said.
