RAMALLAH Kids Nikita Kucherov Jersey , Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Senior Palestinian officials condemned the blatant bias of U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman for suggesting that only 2 percent of the West Bank is under Israeli occupation, the official news agency WAFA reported Friday.
"The U.S. ambassador to Israel has proved once again that he is completely removed from reality," Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Executive Committee of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), was quoted as saying.
In a recent interview with the Israeli media Kids Ryan McDonagh Jersey , Friedman suggested that only 2 percent of the West Bank is occupied by Israel.
"In addition to his long-standing support for Israeli settlements, and after referring to the 'alleged occupation' of Palestinian land, he has the audacity to maintain that Israel occupies only 2 percent of the West Bank and that illegal settlements that carve, annex and steal Palestinian land are part of Israel," Ashrawi said.
Ashrawi noted that Friedman continued to visit illegal Jewish settlements and even joined the Israeli celebrations in June marking the occupation of Palestinian land in 1967.
"Not only does the ambassador break from long-standing US policy Kids Steven Stamkos Jersey , he is also at odds with the international legal, political and moral consensus," she said.
Friedman's positions reflect the settlers' ideology in Israel's right-wing coalition government rather than that of successive administrations that have claimed to be invested in peace, Ashrawi noted.
"The occupation exists. Settlements are illegal under international law and constitute a war crime. These facts and realities are not in question," she maintained.
She urged the U.S. government ho hold Friedman accountable for his remarks and his "consistently outrageous and morally repugnant attitude Womens Nikita Kucherov Jersey , actions and statements."
Meanwhile, Secretary-General of the PLO Executive Committee Saeb Erekat also criticized Friedman's latest statements about Israel "occupying only 2 percent of the West Bank."
He said Friedman's remarks is not only false and misleading, but also contradict international law, UN resolutions, and also the historical U.S. position.
"Israel is internationally recognized as the occupying power over 100 percent of Palestine Womens Ryan McDonagh Jersey , including in and around Occupied East Jerusalem," Erekat said.
"Such positions undermine ongoing efforts towards achieving a just and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine on the 1967 border," he added.
Finance > CreditSecured Bad Credit Loans Make Sense

Secured bad credit loans were seen with a bit of contempt in times gone by. Now they make complete sense, and we should be glad. Official UK figures indicate why!
According to CreditAction.org 'At the end of December 2005 the total UK personal debt was £1 Womens Steven Stamkos Jersey ,158bn. Total secured lending on homes in December 2005 was £965.2bn. This has increased 10.4% in the last twelve months.' This is while the average British consumer debt is £7,786, and that is not taking into account mortgages.
Average household borrowing through credit cards, vehicle and shopping finance deals has increased five times in five years. Yet the typical house price in the UK in November 2005 stood at £186,431 (source: Office of DPM).
The figures speak for themselves. The much higher rates of interest payable on credit cards Authentic Nikita Kucherov Jersey , auto and retail finance (store cards etc.) take a huge chunk out of the typical person's monthly earnings. The single sensible way forward is quite obvious. Consumers need to convert the high interest credit into lower interest credit by using their property by way of security. Even if people's credit standing is quite poor it makes even more sense to pay off the same amount of money at a smaller rate of interest by means of a secured bad credit loan.
Now new lending sources are springing up which consider all circumstances. This latest market for secured bad credit loans has grown up in the last decade or so, and it has developed outside of the mainstay of the High Street lenders. As long as people have property then they can borrow as much money as they want to pay off existing borrowing. Nor do intelligent consumers have to pay the exorbitant rates of interest that used to be the case with people whose credit standing was not the best.
Would it not make more sense to pay £60 a month in servicing that debt than £150 a month servicing exactly the same debt? Secured bad credit loans offer that opportunity.
Improvements in financial credit management assessment mean that loans providers are readily prepared to take into account secured bad credit loans where these were untenable in the past. The self-employed, in particular, are not treated as they were, especially with the new approach towards self-certification. Three years of audited accounts are no longer automatically required from people who want to work for themselves. People with County Court Judgements Authentic Ryan McDonagh Jersey , Individual Voluntary Arrangements, people who have reneged on past or current finance agreements and even discharged bankrupts are now usually considered in today's changing world of finance.
Increasingly consumers are taking larger financial risks, especially those in commerce and the entrepreneurial minded. The secured bad credit loans marketplace is expanding to take account of that because it has to. Of course, borrowers should never consider secured loans where they are not totally sure they are able to make the repayments. Those people should take a look at unsecured financial products (which are more expensive).
