The Infamous Palestinian Authority Disappearing Act

Following up on this story

PA deletes Jewish history from key sites in Judea and SamariaNew signs and website ignore Jewish roots to key archaeological sites and nature reserves, Regavim reveals • Concerted effort, which includes renaming of sites, is in clear violation of 1995 interim agreement with Israel • Regavim: Israel must act.

I ended up here.

And not only is it history, but anything currently Jewish like my home village of Shiloh.

It isn't anywhere on that map. Not to mention that "Beverly Hills" description.

Here's from Google Earth:

Shiloh's been 'disappeared'.

Hello? Emek Shaveh. Amnesty?

UPDATE

I see now that if you enlarge the map, you will get Jewish locations:

However, since technically, tourists can visit Jewish locations and there are Arab artifacts at and near Shiloh, it still is odd that the location gets no mention in the description.

Middle East Country Quiz From Amnesty

Guess which Middle East country in this news story is not mentioned:- Middle East executions soaring, says Amnesty

Human rights monitors are alarmed by a sharp rise in executions in the Middle East at a time when the overall number of countries using capital punishment worldwide is falling. During a year of tumultuous political change and violence throughout the Middle East and north Africa, the region led the world in the use of the death sentence, according to a report on Tuesday by Amnesty International. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen accounted for the vast majority of the 558 executions recorded last year by Amnesty in the Middle East and north Africa. The number of executions rose 50 per cent in 2011 from the previous year, the Amnesty report said. ...Iraq appears to be accelerating its use of capital punishment, with 68 killed in 2011, but 69 reported to have been executed so far this year. Worldwide, only 20 countries carried out executions last year. While most Arab countries retain laws allowing death sentences for a variety of crimes, authorities in Algeria, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco and Qatar have refrained from implementing them. Meanwhile, Tunisia for the first time in recent years did not impose a single death penalty last year, following the revolution that ousted President Zein al-Abidine Ben Ali.

That's right, Israel. Israel is located in the Middle East. It didn't execute anyone but doesn't merit a mention, this way or that. Now, can you guess why? Oh, the Palestinian Authority is mentioned, 5 executions, in the actual report itself (there at p. 32-33) but still, Israel is not included. Israel lcan't even get a of nod of appreciation from Amnesty. ^

Amnesty Hits on Syria? No, Israel

I was informed about 'another human rights farce':

Today at 11 am at the American Colony Hotel (aka the PLO media center), instead of being in Syria or in Turkey, Amnesty will be attacking...Israel -

have joint release w#HRW re forcible eviction & transfer of 20#Palestinian communities (#Jahalin) in occupied West Bank

Always fixed on the real target - Israel.


UPDATE

Amnesty Int'l Goes Apartheid? Tsk, Tsk

Amnesty International UK reserves the right to refuse entry to any person for any reason deemed appropriate by us, including (but not exclusively): capacity limitations, intoxication or any conduct that we consider would be disruptive or offensive.

Does that sound ominous to you?

Refuse entry?  Even before an act is committed?

Discriminatory?  Preventive injunctions aren't appreciated much by groups like these, no?

Racist, possibly?

Apartheid policy?

Or just plain anti-democratic?

"Any reason"?  "Any conduct"?

Wait, isn't their some objective standard?  Civil liberties can be refused without any sense of propriety?

Tsk, tsk.
