Here is a perfect example of how much the Arab nations care about the Palestinians. Gaddafi is threatening to deport Palestinians in Libya to Gaza:

Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi has decided to boycott the Arab League’s summit, set to be held in Riyadh at the end of March, in response to what he considers as the Arab leaders’ plan to “sacrifice” the refugee issue in order to please Israel.

Gaddafi is worried that in the framework of the Saudi peace initiative, Arab leaders would concede the refugees’ right of return, and agree to have them naturalized in their countries of residence, in a bid to encourage Israel’s cooperation with the peace plan.

Libyan newspaper al-Jamahiriya reported this week that Libya may begin deporting Palestinian refugees soon, in protest of the Arab plan.

“Libya will never cooperate with a concession of the refugees’ right of return, and will not allow for the settling of refugees far away from their homeland,” the paper stated.

“Libya is in negotiations to allow thousands of Palestinians who reside within its territory to move to the Gaza Strip through Egypt, before the plot to settle them in the Arab countries materializes,” it added. — YNet

So Gaddafi wants to ‘protect their rights’ by preventing them from being resettled, God forbid, in someplace other than ‘Palestine’. Apparently he actually tried to do this once before in 1995, in protest of the Oslo accords:

Hundreds of those refugees remained stranded in a refugee camp on the Libyan-Egyptian border, while hundreds others spent weeks aboard ships in the Mediterranean Sea, after both Syria and Lebanon refused to give them shelter.

Of course not, because destroying Israel and killing Jews is always top priority for the Arabs, far above the welfare of Palestinians.

Ami Isseroff, a reasonable guy who is pro-Israel, recently wrote the following:

The [Palestinian] “resistance” and the Israeli inhumanity continue because, in fact, nobody really cares about them. They are both used as “issues” to attract sympathy by Palestinian terror groups and interest groups on the one hand, and by settlers and right-wing Zionists on the others. The Palestinians use the occupation, the confiscation of land and the arbitrary rights violations to delegitimize the existence of Israel. Every settler who insults a Palestinian, every IDF soldier who insults a Palestinian at a checkpoint is a victory for the Hamas. The Israel advocates use Palestinian terror as an issue to delegitimize Palestinian rights. Every suicide bombing, every Palestinian rocket that lands in Sderot is a victory for the settlers. All the issues are “excuses” but they are real excuses. They are quite useful. — Mideast Web, The Occupation is not so moral either

There are several things about this that bother me.

The UN is moving to institutionalize its bias against Israel by means of yet another permanent function:

The United Nation’s Human Rights Council is looking to appoint John Dugard as a permanent investigator on Israel’s actions in the territories, which he has in the past compared to apartheid, Ambassador to the UN in Geneva [sic], Yitzhak Levanon, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

Levanon said the appointment would be part of a move to create a mandate by which to permanently probe Israeli violations of international law in the territories until such time as Israel withdraws to the pre-1967 border.

A proposal to this effect has been presented to the Council by the Organization of the Islamic Conference but it does not mention Dugard, who published a report on the territories in January. No decision has been taken on the matter so far. The report is slated for discussion by the council next week. — Jerusalem Post
