The motion

Leave out from 'House' to end and add, 'notes that violence employed against Palestinian children by the Israeli military occupation forces, as part of their attempt to suppress the intifada, is brutal, indiscriminate and recurrent and that since December 1987 159 children under 16 years of age have been slaughtered and over 50, 000 wounded either by shooting, beating or gassing; notes that judicial murder investigations, when carried out, show discrepancies and dilution of facts with families suffering intimidation and military intervention at funerals; notes that access to emergency medical treatment is often obstructed; and that deteriorating health conditions and living standards are causing an increase in disease and malnutrition; and calls for international action to bring this savagery to an end.'.
