“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” ARTICLE 19. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.

Izreals violations of international laws

A lot of the territory claimed by Israel is occupied territory. The 4th Geneva 1949 and the Hague Regulations of 1907, forbid occupiers of altering the way of life of the people and from settling in the occupied country. Izrael’s expulsion of Palestinians form their homes and properties and it resettlement of Jews in the occupied territories over the past 62 years are abhorrent violations of international law.
