Israelis grabbed land and were occupying it by force. They were killing children, and the violence was provoking counter-violence. There could be no equating the aggressor and the victim. Israel was the aggressor. It continued to build settlements in the West Bank and in the Syrian Golan. People were evicted from their farms, and Israel invited people to build new settlement there, and they armed the people and encouraged them to kill the Palestinians. The Subcommission was asked to do its utmost to ensure that the international community provide protection to the Palestinian people, and to ensure Israel&#39;s withdrawal from the occupied territories. This could avoid war.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:10px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\"><i>For use of the information media; not an official record<\/i><\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:8pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:center;padding-top:11px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">* *** *<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUBCOMMISSION ON PROMOTION AND PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS CONTINUES DEBATE ON REMAINING HUMAN RIGHTS TOPICS Terrorism, Traditional Practices Affecting Women, Sexual and Contemporary Forms of Slavery, and Administration of Justice Discussed The Subcommission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights this afternoon carried on with its debate on various forms of human rights abuses, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/document\/auto-insert-212379\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[],"document-category":[1329],"document-source":[1733,2089],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[2237,1741,1805,1749,2309,2137],"entity":[1729],"document-language":[6542],"class_list":["post-212379","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","document-category-press-release","document-source-commission-on-human-rights","document-source-sub-commission-on-the-promotion-and-protection-of-human-rights","document-subject-golan-heights","document-subject-human-rights-and-international-humanitarian-law","document-subject-occupation","document-subject-palestine-question","document-subject-protection","document-subject-settlements","entity-united-nations-system","document-language-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/212379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/212379\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=212379"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=212379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
