The PHRMG has prepared a
report on the first forty days of the al-Aqsa uprising, covering the
events that occurred in the Palestinian territories, including East
Jerusalem. The purpose of this report is to highlight the general
pattern of the clashes, with specific sections on the type of force
used by the Israelis (means and methods of combat), the civilian
casualties (children, medical personnel, journalists), damage to
infrastructure, the effects of the closure and the violence initiated
by Jewish settlers in the territories. The PHRMG hopes thereby to
raise awareness in the Israeli public of the Palestinian viewpoint on
the clashes, and to find a just way to peace by stressing the close
link between peace and respect for human rights. |
