Israeli forces demolish 2 homes in Negev region

Israeli forces demolished two Palestinian homes in the Negev region on Tuesday, Palestinian sources said.

One of the homes was in Um Btein village, while the other was in the Um Ritam village, both south of Arara city in the Negev.

Arab Knesset member, Talab Abu Arar, said that “demolishing homes under the tense security atmosphere and the cold rainy weather proves the racist lines of this rightist suppressing government that focuses on tightening the noose and humiliating Arab citizens.”

“Demolishing aims to harm," Abu Arar added. "It only makes the cause more complicated, and not recognizing villages and confiscating lands shows that the [Israeli] government works for the improvement of Jews only."

Israel jails teen for “intifada” Facebook post

Writing on Facebook can result in being locked up if you are a Palestinian citizen of Israel.

That became clear in mid-October when 19-year-old Anas Khateeb was arrested and charged with incitement over three comments he had posted on the social media website. The comments read: “Jerusalem is Arab,” “long live the intifada” and “I am on the waiting list.”

Why did Amnesty say one thing in English and another in Hebrew?

A week ago, Amnesty International published a report on Israel’s summary executions of Palestinians.

As The Electronic Intifada reported, the human rights group said it had “documented in depth at least four incidents in which Palestinians were deliberately shot dead by Israeli forces when they posed no imminent threat to life, in what appear to have been extrajudicial executions.”

It examined the killings of teenagers Saad al-Atrash, Dania Irsheid, Fadi Alloun and Hadil Hashlamoun.

“In some cases,” Amnesty said, “the person shot was left bleeding to death on the ground and was not given prompt medical assistance, in violation of the prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment.”

Amnesty published an Arabic-language release of its report that is faithful to the English version.

Yet the no-holds-barred report was considerably softened for the organizations’s much shorter Hebrew press release (translation below).
