- Like the
mainstream media in the West, the UN chooses to look the other way
when Palestinians torture or kill fellow Palestinians.
- The
Palestinian Authority and Hamas claim that the three men committed
suicide.
- When three
detainees die in less than a week, this should sound an alarm. But
pro-Palestinian groups and human rights activists do not care about
the human rights of Palestinians if Israel cannot be held
responsible. Their obsession with Israel has made them blind to the
plight of Palestinians living under the Palestinian Authority.

Three Palestinian men were found dead in their jail cells in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip this past week.
But their stories did not attract the attention of the international
media or human rights organizations in the U.S. and Europe. Nor was their
case brought to the attention of the United Nations or the International
Criminal Court (ICC).
By contrast, the case of 17-year-old Mohamed Kasba, who was shot
dead north of Jerusalem by an Israeli army officer as he attacked the
officer's car with stones, received widespread coverage in the Western
media.
The UN even rushed to condemn the killing of Kasba, and called for
an "immediate end" to violence and for everyone to keep calm.
"This reaffirms the need for a political process aiming to establish
two states living beside each other safely and peacefully," said UN
Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Maldenov.

- Labour MP
Jeremy Corbyn is running for leadership of Britain's Labour Party,
with the support of George Galloway.
- In 2012,
Corbyn agreed to speak at a Ramadan celebration with Abdur Raheem
Green, a Salafist preacher who has spoken of a "Yehudi [Jewish]
... stench." In addition, Green encourages men to hit their
wives to "bring them to goodness," and has called for the
killing of homosexuals and adulterers.

In 2009, Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn (left) said:
"It will be my pleasure and my honour to host an event in
Parliament where our friends from Hezbollah will be speaking. I also
invited friends from Hamas to come and speak as well." London

In the wake of Britain's general election, candidates with ties to
anti-Semitic extremists and terror groups are standing for important
political positions.
In May, George Galloway declared that he was vying to become Mayor
of London. Those concerned with Galloway's work with the Syrian and
Iranian regimes expressed dismay at the news.
Now, a month later, the Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn is running for
leadership of Britain's Labour Party, with the support of George
Galloway.
In 2010, Britain's media watchdog, OFCOM, censured Galloway and
Corbyn, after Corbyn appeared on Galloway's television program --
broadcast by the Iranian regime's channel, Press TV. OFCOM ruled that
Galloway's description of Israel as a "terrorist
gangster...miscreant, law breaking, rogue, war launching, occupying
state," and Corbyn's call for economic sanctions against the world's
only Jewish state, "did not show due impartiality."
