Australian film ‘Stone Cold Justice’ on Israel’s torture of Palestinian children

Imagine a military prison where the inmates include children as young as 12, in shackles.

A film which has been produced by a group of Australian journalists has sparked an international outcry against Israel after it explicitly detailed Tel Aviv's use of torture against Palestinian children.

PA Education Ministry: Israel impeding entry of 300,000 textbooks into Gaza

The Palestinian Ministry of Education said in a statement on Saturday that Israeli authorities have been impeding entry of 300,000 textbooks from the occupied West Bank into the blockaded Gaza Strip, jeopardizing the new school year in the coastal enclave, which is set to begin on Sunday.

The ministry approved a new curriculum for grades 1 through 4 and distributed the new textbooks to all schools in the occupied West Bank, while most textbooks for Gaza were printed in presses located in the Gaza Strip itself.

However, 30,000 math and science textbooks bound for Gaza were printed in the West Bank, “which Israel has so far denied entry to the Gaza Strip,” Basri Salih, undersecretary for planning and development, said.

Israeli violations against journalists in occupied territory increase by 17% in first half of 2016

A Palestinian press freedoms watchdog on Saturday said Israeli violations against media freedoms in the occupied Palestinian territory had continued to rise at a rapid pace over the first half of 2016.

The increase came even after the group reported an “unprecedented” increase in violations throughout 2015 -- “the highest ever to be monitored in Palestine” since the group started monitoring violations against media freedoms more than a decade ago.

Israeli forces demolished eight Palestinian structures in the Bedouin community of Maazi Jaba in the controversial E1 zone in the occupied West Bank district of Jerusalem on Monday morning, while residents were also forced to carry out demolitions themselves for three other structures after being ordered to do so by Israeli authorities.

Residents said that bulldozers from the Israeli Jerusalem municipality escorted by soldiers arrived in Maazi Jaba, east of the village of Jaba, at 7:30 a.m. and demolished six improvised shacks serving as homes, as well as two other structures used to house sheep.

The demolitions reportedly left 28 people, including 18 minors under the age of 16, homeless.

Committee: 7 Palestinian prisoners suffering from poor health in Ashkelon prison

Seven Palestinian prisoners held in Israel’s Ashkelon prison were said to be suffering from deteriorating health conditions due to lack of treatment and medicine, the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs said in a statement on Sunday.

Muhammad Abrash, 38, who was detained on Feb. 17, 2013, has had his leg amputated and suffers from hearing and vision impairment after being injured during the Second Intifada, according to the statement.

He has lost 70 percent of his eyesight in the left eye and is in need of a cornea transplant -- a treatment the committee said the Israel Prison Service continued to delay.

Palestinian released, placed under house arrest after serving 14 year sentence in Israeli prisons

An Israeli judge Tuesday ordered the release of a Palestinian from the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabal al-Mukabbir who was redetained four days after being released from a 14-year sentence in Israeli prisons, according to local sources.

Israeli Magistrate Court’s judge ordered the release of Jerusalemite prisoner Sufyan Fakhri Abdo from Israeli prison and imposed 14 days of house detention and a 10,000 shekel ($2,653) fine on him.

Abdo’s father told Ma’an that his son was detained on August 19, four days after being released following a 14-year sentence in Israeli prison after Israeli authorities accused him of inciting violence during a march in Jabal al-Mukabbir.

Bilal Kayed suspends hunger strike as prison struggles continue(24-08)

After refusing food for 71 days, Bilal Kayed has announced that he is suspending his hunger strike.

At a press conference on Thursday, Kayed’s lawyers with Addameer revealed details of the agreement with Israeli authorities that led to the suspension of his strike. Kayed will be released from administrative detention in December, after completing six months.

Addameer director Sahar Francis said that Israeli military prosecutors had wanted Kayed be exiled from Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories for four years as part of the agreement, before backing down. Kayed will remain in an Israeli hospital until his health improves.

Der religiöse Zionismus hat Israel nichts als Unruhe beschert

Das Kommentar meines Kollegen Ari Shavit , dass die Siedlerbewegung aufregend ist, zeigt, dass auch der "radikale Zentrist" des Landes unaufgeklärt ist.

Man muss sich ungläubig die Augen reiben. Ein israelischer Journalist, der sich selbst als weder religiös noch nationalistisch definiert, schrieb: „Die Leute von Mercaz Harav und Gush Emunin haben von niemandem etwas gestohlen. Was sie während der letzten 49 Jahre getan haben, war erziehen - was eindrucksvoll ist - und mobilisieren und anwerben, was aufregend ist.“( Ari Shavit 11. August)

Es ist das Jahr 2016 und das Verbrechen ist schöngeredet worden; es ist sogar zum pädagogischen Vorbild geworden. Der Sieg ist erklärt worden.

Israel's desalination miracle, Santa Claus and other fairy tales

Scientific American recently ran a feature on Israel’s desalination industry, hailing it as a miraculous feat of ingenuity of a small nation in the midst of burning, backward nations.

To quote the article’s romanticised language, the author refers to Israel as “a galvanised civilisation that created water from nothingness” where just a few miles away, alluding to Syria and Iraq specifically, but also Arab nations in general, “water disappeared and civilisations crumbled”.

It is surprising to see such blatant promotion of Israeli exceptionalism and the mendacious resurrection of “making the desert bloom” mythology on the pages of Scientific American. It is important to inject facts, history and reality into this water fairytale.

The author brazenly claims 900 years of Palestinian history is Israeli. In fact, Israel is a 68-year-old country established by European Jewish immigrants who conquered Palestine, expelled most of the indigenous population and laid claim to all their land, farms, homes, businesses, libraries and resources.

Beyond that gratuitous appropriation of Palestinian history, the article provides no historic context to climate, rainfall and natural water resources, giving the impression of a naturally inhospitable arid land.

In fact, throughout history, northern Palestine boasted a Mediterranean climate, having hot and dry summers with abundant rainfall in winter. And in fact, Ramallah’s rainfall exceeds that of London, as does Jerusalem’s rainfall.

Sustainable development as resistance

By supporting sustainable development in Palestine, the Applied Research Institute of Jerusalem fights Israeli environmental degradation. In mainstream media, Israel is widely credited with being at the cutting edge of thrifty water use techniques and “making the desert bloom.” But, while settlers have uninterrupted access to water in the Jordan Valley thanks to Israel’s water drilling in the area, Palestinian wells and springs have dried up. Approximately 80% of Israel's water extraction in the Jordan Valley is diverted to Israeli settlements.

Indifferent to boycott pressure, RE/MAX helps Israel remodel Palestine

No ‘Open House’ on Stolen Land!” proclaims Code Pink in its campaign to pressure real estate giant RE/MAX to stop selling properties in illegal Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land.

Code Pink is a women-led organization that promotes peace and human rights in the U.S. and abroad. Their campaign, entitled Remodel RE/MAX, is a part of the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Ariel Gold, the coordinator of Remodel RE/MAX, explained to the Alternative Information Center that Code Pink opted to challenge RE/MAX’s business in Israeli settlements because it is “a blatant slap in the face to Palestinian human rights” as well as “indisputably illegal under international law.”

Indeed, a report published in January by Human Rights Watch arrived at similar conclusions:

By advertising, selling and renting homes in settlements, both the Israeli franchise of RE/MAX and RE/MAX LLC, the owner of the global franchise network, facilitate and benefit from the transfer of Israeli civilians into occupied territory and the associated human rights abuses, contravening their rights responsibilities.

Israel's defense minister sets out on his own path in battle against Hamas

...Later on the night of Aug. 21, however, something unusual happened. The Israeli air force launched a wide-scale attack against some 50 Hamas targets throughout Gaza. The explosions resonated for several hours in Gaza and on the Israeli side of the border. The attack, based on high-quality intelligence, was focused and enduring. Intended to deliver a significant blow to Hamas’ capacity to gather intelligence, it came as a real surprise to the Hamas leadership in Gaza, which had grown used to the long-standing situation in which Israel responded by returning symbolic fire. The question is, what lay behind Israel’s unusual response to this particular attack?

‘Do not despair:’ on the persistence of resistance

We have quickly gotten used to going to the Alternative Information Center’s (AIC) website to know what’s really happening regarding Israel and the Palestinians — not only that, but to understand what is happening and situate it in an overall context and framework. We have never disagreed on essential issues. From Europe and from the Arab world, we sometimes viewed our comrades at the AIC as more pessimistic than necessary, but we were understanding because they carried double the weight. They face persecution as a result of birth and “identity” and fight this persecution, even if only at the level of the media and analysis. Doing so, in any case is highly significant considering the occupying and oppressive entity’s intensive dedication to media since Israel's founding and even the crystallization of the Zionist idea itself.

‘Doomed to fail’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, yet again, of improving ties between Israel and several Arab countries. His recent statements reveal the Israeli government’s vision for future political settlements with the Palestinian people.

Netanyahu asserts that the political process for peace in Palestine should be conducted in reverse – i.e. since Arab states understand that the world is changing and that Israel is not their enemy, relations with the Arab world should be normalized prior to and as a positive catalyst for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Gregory Gause, an expert on the Gulf States of the Middle East, told the Times of Israel that Netanyahu's vision of Arab states normalizing ties with Israel first and pressuring Ramallah secondarily is doomed to fail and is little more than a bid to buy time.

Deadly gas projectiles return to West Bank protests

An old weapon appears to have re-emerged in Palestine.

Over the past six months, say activists in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military has resumed the use of Indoor Barricade Penetrators, a form of high velocity tear gas 40mm projectile designed to deliver its payload inside buildings or homes and used during raids, demonstrations and clashes.

The use of such heavy duty tear gas projectiles fell by the wayside in 2013 after a number of high-profile court cases demonstrated how easily this particular form of delivery could kill or maim. However, a modified version is now employed across the West Bank, say protestors, and no matter what claims the military and manufacturers may make, these barrier piercing projectiles remain potentially lethal.

Israel has used them to deadly effect before.

In 2009, Bassem Abu Rahmeh was killed during the weekly protest in the West Bank of Bilin, after he was struck in the chest with an Indoor Barricade Penetrator.

Just a few weeks earlier, Tristan Anderson, an American volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, was hit with a high velocity tear gas canister in the nearby town of Nilin. He didn’t die, but was permanently paralyzed on his left side and suffered massive brain damage.

Israel detained 30 Palestinian teens in August, majority report being tortured

Israeli forces imprisoned 30 teenage Palestinians over the month of August and collected 65,000 shekels ($17,270) from their families as fines, the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs said Monday, with the majority of the detainees saying they were beaten and tortured during their detention, interrogation, and transport from one detention center to another.

A statement released Monday quoted the committee’s lawyer Luay Akka as saying that among the detainees were minors as young as 13 years old.

Israeli forces ransack home of slain Palestinian, threaten to detain 10-month-old girl

Israeli troops stormed the town of Sair in the Hebron district of the southern occupied West Bank early Sunday morning, where they ransacked the home of a slain Palestinian and reportedly threatened to detain the deceased man’s 10-month-old daughter.

According to witnesses, Israeli troops raided the home of the family of Fadi Faroukh, who was shot and killed on Nov. 1, 2015 in the eastern Hebron village of Beit Einun after he allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli soldier.

Fadi’s brother Saed told Ma’an that Israeli soldiers “destroyed the interior of the house” before they “threatened to detain Fadi’s 10-month-old daughter.”

Israeli soldiers routinely shoot heads of injured Palestinians, court told

Shooting at the heads of incapacitated alleged Palestinian attackers is a common practice by Israeli occupation forces, a settler security chief told a military court hearing on Sunday.

Eliyahu Liebman testified as a witness for the defense in the trial of Elor Azarya, an Israeli soldier indicted for manslaughter after he was caught on video shooting the head of a wounded and incapacitated Palestinian lying in the street, killing him.

Abd al-Fattah al-Sharif and Ramzi al-Qasrawi were fatally wounded after they allegedly attempted to stab soldiers in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron in late March. Multiple videos of the scene show al-Sharif and al-Qasrawi in the street, badly injured. But video released thus far only shows the fatal shooting of al-Sharif.

Although Mahmoud was shot in December, doctors in the occupied West Bank have not been able to properly treat the open wound beneath the bandages.

“The pain has never stopped,” Mahmoud said from his home in Dheisha refugee camp. “For the past nine months I have barely left the house, just for doctors appointments. But now the doctors here say they can’t help me.”

Carrot and stick carve-up will not work for Israel

Launched this month, as much of the world was on holiday, Avigdor Lieberman’s plan for the Palestinians – retooling Israel’s occupation – received less attention than it should.

Defence minister since May, Mr Lieberman has been itching to accelerate Israel’s annexation by stealth of the West Bank.

His “carrot and stick” plan has three components. First, he intends to sideline the Palestinian Authority in favour of a new local leadership of “notables” hand-picked by Israel.

Ben Gurion’s Plan for Regional Conquest and Israeli Empire

Odeh Bisharat, one of Haaretz’s few Israeli-Palestinian columnists (Sayeh Kashua is another), published an incisive article on what he calls “the end of the road” for Zionism. But the first paragraph, which comprised a quotation from David Ben Gurion (the full archival passage in Hebrew is here), really opened my eyes. At the first meeting of the Haganah military command after statehood was declared on May 15, 1948, he told the assembled leadership his strategic goals for the coming war. This grandiose vision dispels a long-standing claim by proponents of the Israel-as-victim view, who argue that Israel’s enemies have commenced all the wars against it and that the “Jewish state” has only acted in self-defense:

“We must immediately destroy Ramle and Lod. … We must organize Eliyahu’s brigade to direct it against Jenin in preparation for [conquering] the Jordan Valley. … Maklef needs to receive reinforcements and his role is the conquest of southern Lebanon, through bombing-support against Tyre, Sidon and Beirut. … Yigal Allon must strike Syria from the east and from the north. … We must establish a Christian state whose southern border will be the Litani [River]. We will forge an alliance with it. When we break the strength of the [Jordanian] Legion and bomb Amman we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria falls. And if Egypt still dares to fight, we will bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo.

…That is how we will end the war – and make a reckoning on our forefathers behalf with Egypt, Assyria and Aramea.”

Pro-Israel advocates will chalk this up to the braggadocio of a national leader preparing the troops for battle. He offers them a vision full of victories and maximalist territorial gain. It cheers them for the difficult battle ahead. Defenders may argue that Ben Gurion had to have been realistic enough to know that the new state had little chance of achieving such objectives.

But in my reading of Ben Gurion, there are two separate personalities: one of the pragmatist who accepts half a loaf instead of the whole; the other the ambitious politico-military strategist harboring imperial visions of Israel’s future (including the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian inhabitants of the new state). But even the pragmatist is only pragmatic in the moment. Ben Gurion makes clear that his pragmatism is only temporary until Israel is in a position to realize its maximalist goals.

Why is Mahmoud Abbas boasting of jailing Palestine’s youth?

Six men have launched a hunger strike after being arrested by secret police working for the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.

On Sunday, Basil al-Araj, Muhammad Harb, Haitham Siyaj, Muhammad al-Salameen, Ali Dar al-Sheikh and Seif al-Idrisi started refusing food to protest how they are being detained without charge or trial for indefinite periods.

They will consume nothing but water until they are released, their lawyer says.

According to Samidoun, a group supporting Palestinian prisoners, their detention has been repeatedly extended since they were first arrested at the end of March and the beginning of April. Samidoun has been in contact with the families of the six men.

Muhannad Karajah, a lawyer who is representing the prisoners, told The Electronic Intifada that the PA has not presented any charges against the six men. But a PA official has verbally made allegations against them. The allegations relate to their political activities.

Samidoun believes their arrest took place as part of Israel’s “security coordination” with the PA.

Four Palestinian children killed in five days(23-09)

Two more Palestinian teenagers have been shot following a five-day period in which Israeli forces killed four children.

Israeli soldiers shot and injured a teenage boy near a settlement in the occupied West Bank district of Hebron on Friday.

Usama Murad Jamil Marie Zeidat, whose age was given by the Palestinian Authority health ministry as 15, was shot after attempting to stab soldiers, a military spokesperson told media.

More than 1,000 Palestinian minors detained by Israel in 2016 so far

More than 1,000 Palestinian minors have been detained by Israeli forces since the beginning of the year, the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs said on Saturday, in a reported increase from 2015.

The Committee said that at least 1,000 Palestinian minors between the ages of 11 and 18 had been detained by Israel since January, including around 70 children from occupied East Jerusalem who were placed under house arrest.

A lawyer for the Committee, Hiba Masalha, cited a number of cases in which Palestinian minors were abused and tortured while in detention.

23 Palestinians detained, dozens of houses ordered to be demolished in Jerusalem raids(22-09)

Israeli forces carried out massive detention raids into Palestinian communities in Jerusalem before dawn on Thursday for the second day in a row, detaining at least 23 Palestinians and assaulting locals, including a minor, while demolition orders were delivered to dozens of Palestinian homes during raids on Wednesday.

Israeli forces raided the Shufat refugee camp in the Jerusalem district of the occupied West Bank as well as the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, located just south of Shufat beyond Israel’s separation wall.

Israel shoots Palestinian girl who 'did not stop at crossing'(21-09)

Israeli guards shot and wounded an unarmed 13-year-old Palestinian girl on Wednesday after she did not stop at a checkpoint, officials said, the latest incident in an upsurge of violence.

The Israeli defence ministry said the girl was not carrying a weapon but told officers afterwards that she had wanted to die.

The incident happened at a checkpoint near the Israeli settlement of Alfei Menashe and the Palestinian town of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry described the girl's wounds as moderate.

The Israeli defence ministry said the girl arrived "on foot with a suspicious bag at the vehicle-only lane of the Eliyahu crossing which is not open to foot traffic."

Israeli settler opens fire at Palestinian youth east of Qalqiliya

An Israeli settler reportedly opened fire at a group of Palestinian youth east of the city of Qalqiliya on Monday, with no injuries reported.

According to Israeli media, the Israeli settler responsible for the shooting had claimed that Palestinian youth were throwing rocks at him near the illegal Israeli settlement of Karnei Shomron located just south of the Palestinian village of Kafr Laqif, which he responded to by firing shots into the air.

Israeli military forces reportedly responded to the incident by launching a search for the Palestinians responsible for the rock throwing.

An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an they were looking into reports to confirm the incident.

Israel detains hundreds of Palestinians for alleged stone throwing every year, and Israeli rights group B'Tselem reported that from 2005 to 2010, "93 percent of the minors convicted of stone throwing were given a prison sentence, its length ranging from a few days to 20 months."

Palestinian stone throwers face harsh penalties by Israeli authorities, with Israel passing a law last year mandating up to 20 years in prison if charged with throwing stones at vehicles and a minimum prison sentence of three years for throwing a stone at an Israeli.http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=773304


Autopsy reveals Palestinian prisoner died of heart condition after years of medical neglect

An autopsy has confirmed the cause of death of 41-year-old Palestinian prisoner Yasser Thiyab Hamduna, who died in Israeli custody Sunday morning, was cardiomegaly, a condition in which the heart is enlarged and can lead to sudden cardiac death.

A statement from the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs released on Monday announced the cause of death following the autopsy. Initial reports indicated the prisoner had died of either a stroke or a heart attack.

The Committee said that the autopsy of Hamduna’s body was carried out in the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv with the participation of two Palestinian doctors -- Ashraf al-Qadi and Rayan Ali -- as was ordered by the Israeli central court the day prior.

Israel accused of neglect after death of ill prisoner

Palestinians are accusing Israel of years of medical neglect after a prisoner died from a heart condition on Sunday.

An autopsy found that Yasir Thiab Hamduna, 41, died from cardiomegaly, also known as an enlarged heart, a condition which can cause cardiac arrest.

Hamduna, from Yabad village near the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin, had been imprisoned since 2003. He reportedly had recurrent health problems while in detention but received inadequate treatment.

He was severely beaten by guards the year he was imprisoned and suffered significant injuries to his head. In January 2015, he underwent cardiac surgery but was denied necessary follow-up care, the Ma’an News Agency reported.

4 Palestinian prisoners start hunger strikes to protest Israeli detention policies

Four Palestinian prisoners have launched hunger strikes on Sunday to protest their administrative detentions, the use of torture in Israeli prison facilities, and the tactical transfer of prisoners from one facility to another, prisoners rights groups said on Tuesday.

Three Palestinian prisoners from Hebron were on their third day without food on Tuesday to protest being held in administrative detention -- Israel’s controversial policy of internment without charges used overwhelmingly against Palestinians.

Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) lawyer Jawad Boulos, visited the three prisoners at the Ofer prison on Tuesday, and identified them as Anas Ibrahim Shadid, 20, and Ahmad Abu Farah, 29, both detained on Aug. 1st, and Omar al-Hih, 22, detained on Sept. 15th.http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=773313


Israel plots massive land confiscation in the occupied Syrian Golan

On September 27th, 2016, Al-Marsad, the only human rights organization in the occupied Syrian Golan, announced in a press release its legal effort to halt Israeli authorities’ plan to build a park in the area.

The press statement explains, “the ‘Hermon National Park’ plan confiscates approximately 82,000 dunams [20,300 acres] of land… that [have] been used by the native Syrian residents of Majdal Shams and Ein Qynia since Ottoman rule for grazing, agriculture and urbanization.”

Should Hermon National Park come to fruition, the 11,000 residents of Majd al-Shams, a village located on the slopes of Mount Hermon, would be particularly devastated.

How Israel is turning one Arab party into a security threat

There are two possible ways to describe the dramatic, highly-publicized arrest of dozens of activists and senior members of the Balad party earlier this week:

“The police opened a wide spreads investigation against Balad over suspicions of fraudulently transferring millions of shekels to the party’s coffers during the 2013 elections.”
Or: “In an overnight operation security focus raided the homes of dozens of Palestinians, arresting them for pro-Palestinian activism.”

Most Hebrew-language media outlets that reported on the story chose a variation on the first headline. In my eyes, however, the second headline is far more accurate for a number of reasons.

The dolls that defend Palestinian culture

In the dead of a cold December night, Israeli soldiers came for Yasser.

They rummaged through the shelves and behind the looms of a darkened factory, searching for the little man, only half a metre tall. They knew he would be easy to spot, wearing his signature black-and-white keffiyeh and olive-coloured military fatigues. Finally, they found him, expressionless and hiding in plain sight, along with a dozen other plush clones.

The brainchild of Hilana Abu Sharifeh, a 32-year-old mother of four, Yasser is among the dozens of toys she designs and manufactures at her small, Tulkarem-based business. His confiscation, along with about 1,700 other toys, baffles Abu Sharifeh to this day.

"The soldiers ransacked the whole place, seized fabric and damaged some of the products in the process," she said of the toy factory that her husband first opened in their garage more than two decades ago.

Facebook Is Collaborating With the Israeli Government to Determine What Should Be Censored

Last week, a major censorship controversy erupted when Facebook began deleting all posts containing the iconic photograph of the Vietnamese “Napalm Girl” on the ground that it violated the company’s ban on “child nudity.” Facebook even deleted a post from the prime minister of Norway, who posted the photograph in protest of the censorship. As outrage spread, Facebook ultimately reversed itself — acknowledging “the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time” — but this episode illustrated many of the dangers I’ve previously highlighted in having private tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google become the arbiters of what we can and cannot see.

Having just resolved that censorship effort, Facebook seems to be vigorously courting another. The Associated Press reports today from Jerusalem that “the Israeli government and Facebook have agreed to work together to determine how to tackle incitement on the social media network.”

Facebook apologizes for disabling Palestinian journalists’ accounts

Facebook says it made a mistake in disabling the accounts of journalists who administer the pages of two of the most widely read Palestinian publications on the Internet.

“The pages were removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate,” a Facebook spokesperson has told The Electronic Intifada. “Our team processes millions of reports each week, and we sometimes get things wrong. We’re very sorry about this mistake.”

Is Israel Pushing for a Palestinian Civil War?

Division within Palestinian society has reached unprecedented levels, becoming a major hurdle on the path of any unified strategy to end Israel’s violent occupation or to rally Palestinians behind a single objective.

Newly-appointed Israeli ultra-nationalist, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, understands this too well. His tactic since his ascension to office last May is centered on investing more in these divisions as a way to break down Palestinian society even further.

Lieberman is an "extremist," even if compared with the low standards of the Israeli military. His past legacy was rife with violent and racist declarations. His more recent exploits include taking on the late Mahmoud Darwish, Palestine’s most celebrated poet. He went as far as comparing Darwish’s poetry -- which advocates the freedom of his people -- to Adolph Hitler’s autobiography, Mein Kampf.

But, of course, this is not Lieberman’s most outrageous statement.

Group denounces UN envoy statement equating Israeli and Palestinian violence

Gaza-based NGO the Council On International Relations in Palestine (COIR) slammed on Monday statements by the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nikolay Mladenov regarding a recent wave of deadly violence in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, accusing him of not “making any difference between the executioner and the victim.”

On Monday, Mladenov issued a statement condemning “recent violence” in the occupied Palestinian territory, during which time five Palestinians and one Jordanian were killed by Israeli forces, most of them after Israel claimed they were carrying out or attempting to carry out stabbing attacks.

Two more Palestinians have been killed by Israel forces since Mladenov issued his statement.

Despite the absence of Israeli deaths, Mladenov emphasized injuries sustained by Israelis before detailing the death toll.

“During this latest upsurge in attacks in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, at least six Israelis were injured. Five Palestinians and one Jordanian national were killed while carrying out or allegedly carrying out attacks,” the UN envoy’s statement read.

New PostErstellt: 30.09.16, 00:35  Betreff: Shimon Peres from the perspective of his victims  drucken  weiterempfehlen

The obituaries for Shimon Peres have already appeared, no doubt prepared in advance as the news of his hospitalization reached the media.

The verdict on his life is very clear and was already pronounced by US President Barack Obama: Peres was a man who changed the course of human history in his relentless search for peace in the Middle East.

My guess is that very few of the obituaries will examine Peres’ life and activities from the perspective of the victims of Zionism and Israel.

He occupied many positions in politics that had immense impact on the Palestinians wherever they are. He was director general of the Israeli defense ministry, minister of defense, minister for development of the Galilee and the Negev (Naqab), prime minister and president.

In all these roles, the decisions he took and the policies he pursued contributed to the destruction of the Palestinian people and did nothing to advance the cause of peace and reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis.

Shimon Peres, as he was

“After death, [they were] holy persons, we will say,” goes a Jewish motto on the outpouring of praise people enjoy only after death.

I will not join those who are transforming former Israeli president Shimon Peres into a great man, almost a saint, upon news of his passing today.

Peres was described as “a tireless subversive” by Yitzhak Rabin, to which we can easily add “serial traitor.” Peres even betrayed his patron David Ben Gurion, with whom he established the Rafi political party only to abandon it once he realized that it would not successfully displace the Mapai party from government. Peres also abandoned the Kadima party when he understood it was the wrong horse to bet on. A great statesman Peres was not. Instead, he was a crafty politician with a nose for political wheeling and dealing.http://alternativenews.org/index.php/features-02/214-shimon-peres-as-he-was



Shimon Peres: Founder of Israel, architect of the occupation

Shimon Peres, the last of Israel’s founding fathers, died on Wednesday at the age of 93 after his condition swiftly deteriorated following a major stroke two weeks ago.

World leaders have lavished praise on Peres, including former American President Bill Clinton, who described him as a “dove of peace” for his role in the 1993 Oslo accords - the first agreements between Israeli and Palestinian leaders which led to him jointly winning a Nobel Peace Prize a year later.

However, the praise has not been universal, with critics drawing attention to his role in the development of Israel's early settlements and as prime minister in 1996 when Israeli troops massacred 154 Lebanese civilians in the so-called Operation Grapes of Wrath.

Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas, of the West Bank Fatah party, hailed Peres as "brave," while his Gaza-based rivals in Hamas called him a "criminal".

How Shimon Peres Stole the Bomb with a Bluff, and Why Military Censor Doesn’t Want Israelis to Know About It

I published this appraisal of a key moment in the political career of Shimon Peres just after he suffered a major stroke. I have updated it now that he has died.

You will read much hagiography in the Peres obituaries published in Israeli and world media. Here is a perfect example in the NY Times of the half-truths and undeserved admiration that is being heaped upon his memory:

He was consistent in his search for an accommodation with the Arab world, a search that in recent years left him orphaned as Israeli society lost interest, especially after the upheavals of the 2011 Arab Spring led to tumult on its borders.

Abbas to attend Peres’ funeral

Vyara Gylsen, a spokesman for the flotilla, told Middle East Eye that she had lost contact with the Zaytouna at 4pm CEST.

Israelis Can't Recognize Terrorism Staring Back at Them From the Mirror

While experts are again explaining why the ‘calm’ has ended, what really needs explanation is the Palestinian restraint in light of Israel’s violence.
The rampage of stabbing attacks is back? The terror wave is in full swing again? You’re wrong, ladies and gentlemen. The wave is an ocean, terror has never ceased and its impudence is only increasing. It’s not called by its right name – it’s labeled “security,” and its perpetrators are walking around freely, obeying the command to intimidate four million human beings.

Do you need this translated? Our imposed military rule, now in place for decades, is terror as far as the Palestinians are concerned.

I, too, believe it is terror because people are intimidated to the point where their lives are taken and their health, wellbeing and property are damaged, for the benefit of our masters’ rights, for the sake of achieving political, economic and territorial gains such as Sussia or Kfar Adumim, the irrigation of lucrative seasoning herbs in the Jordan Valley or exporting arms. Terrorizing is the meaning of the tens of thousands of armed men scattered across Judea and Samaria, as well as in united Jerusalem. They are frightening because they were sent there in order to preserve an evil order of dispossession.

A person armed with a rifle looks into a mirror and is frightened by an image of someone pointing a gun at him. This is not an optical illusion but a cognitive one. It appears that we cannot see ourselves as the cause, as the aggressors and, yes, as terrorists in the eyes of those who since birth have lived under military decrees, with our guns, tanks, planes, helicopters and drones hurling deadly fire at them.

We cannot see it ourselves? Correction. We refuse to see ourselves as the cause. In a well-worn and tiresome Pavlovian reflex, our media calls the stabbings a “wave,” and with learned analyses repeatedly explaining why the “calm” has come to an end. It can be pathetic, too: “A 13-year-old female terrorist tried to carry out a stabbing at the Eliyahu checkpoint. She was shot and lightly wounded,” reported Channel 7, the channel for the thinking settler. The report remained unchanged even after it turned out that the “suspicious” bag that the girl carried contained nothing that could endanger our soldiers (i.e. a knife, screwdriver, sharpened pencil). An Israel Radio newscaster also continued to define her movements at the checkpoint as an attempted attack. Editors and commentators come and go, but the headline remains: “The Palestinians have returned to attacking us, the poor nebechs from the ghetto.”

The headline “concerns over outbreak of [security] incidents” is displayed at the head of the Haaretz website’s home page. It isn’t there in order to collect reports about the incapacitating of dozens of young Palestinians by shooting IDF Ruger bullets at their knees. There is no similar headline for the rampage of travel denials from the Gaza Strip, or for yet another wave of soldiers killing Palestinians who posed no danger to their lives: in al-Fawar (Mohammed Hashash), Silwad (Iyad Hamed), Shoafat (Mustafa Nimer). You will not find there a summarizing headline for the daily bacchanalia of military raids (at least 116 between September 9 and 21). For example, in Bil’in last Wednesday morning: The nebechs from the ghetto burst into the houses of activists from the Popular Resistance Committees, scaring children and confiscating (i.e. stealing) computers and cellular phones. There were no reports of casualties among our forces. Only reality is an unreported casualty.

There were no reports of casualties among our forces. Only reality is an unreported casualty.
The reporting of a renewed wave of terror occurs when Jews, soldiers and Border Policemen are hurt or feel threatened. Tens of thousands of stories and reports, mainly in Haaretz, dealing with ongoing military and bureaucratic Israeli violence dissipate as if they were random accidents. The intolerable and continuous stream of deliberate harassment of Palestinians, which derives from our being a foreign military occupier, is not perceived by journalistic sensors as a continuum.

Journalism likes dramas and tragedies. When the disaster is permanent, it’s no longer an item, especially when the cause of this disaster is us. The routine of calamities we bring upon Palestinians does not exist in Israel’s reality. This is why it does not receive regular headlines, and the absence of such headlines, in turn, shapes in our minds a reality in which all is well. And then comes a different reality, with people asking “what is it with these Palestinians who are attacking us again?”

One Jordanian citizen and six Palestinians, including four minors, were killed by Israeli gunfire in less than a week, during attempted attacks or suspected attempts. On September 9, an Israel Defense Forces flare bomb killed 16-year-old Abdel Rahman al-Dabbagh while he was demonstrating against the siege of Gaza, near the fence. The question whether there was no other way but than to kill all these people will probably be answered with the claim that the shooting followed the rules of engagement.

The cognitive denial prevents Israelis from realizing how restrained the Palestinians really are. Among four million victims of constant terror, only a handful express their despair by actions which almost certainly lead to their deaths. It is this collective restraint, not the small number of stabbing or car-ramming attempts, which deserves an explanation. There is wisdom in this restraint, since this is not the time for a struggle of the masses. This restraint expresses despair because those who listen around the world aren’t the deciders and those who decide aren’t listening.

There is also hope in Palestinian restraint: Justice and the future are on their side, since they are fighting for their liberty.

Am 30. September starb der Antisemitismus, oder zumindest die Möglichkeit Israels, ihn als Ausrede zu benutzen. Am Vorabend des jüdischen Neujahrfest hat die Welt bewiesen, dass der Antisemitismus nur noch das Erbe bestimmter Kreise geblieben ist, begrenzte Kreise, aber man kann ihn nicht mehr den meisten Regierungen der Welt anhaften. Auch der Hass auf Israel ist nicht mehr wie das Geschrei – das Geschrei Israels.

Gute Reise, Hollande und Sarkozy, in das Land der Kinderfolter!

Mehr als tausend minderjährige Palästinenser (zwischen 11 und 18 Jahren) wurden 2016 von Israel verhaftet. Einer von ihnen ist Ramzi Abu Ajamiyeh, 13 Jahre. Er wurde während eines Angriffs der israelischen Armee im Flüchtlingslager Deisheh in Betlehem verletzt und verhaftet. Seine Verletzung wurde nicht behandelt und er leidet seitdem darunter. Zählen Sie somit nicht auf unser Beileid für den Kriegsverbrecher Peres, der sich nie gegen die Folter der palästinensischen Kinder aufgelehnt hat!

Israeli forces shoot, injure dozens on 4th day of violent raids into al-Ram(13-10)

Dozens of Palestinians were shot and injured by live ammunition or rubber-coated steel bullets in the town of al-Ram in the Jerusalem district of the occupied West Bank Wednesday morning -- on the fourth consecutive day of violent raids into al-Ram since a resident of the town carried out a deadly shooting attack in East Jerusalem on Sunday and was shot dead on the scene.

State-run news agency Wafa reported that a large number of Israeli army vehicles raided the the town, provoking clashes with local Palestinian youth who then threw stones at Israeli soldiers' vehicles.

The Israeli army responded by firing live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, and tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters, causing multiple cases of gunshot injures and severe tear gas inhalation, according to Wafa.http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=773533

Israeli minister: We must 'give our lives' to annex West Bank

Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett called on supporters on Thursday to give up their lives to ensure the annexation of the West Bank.

Speaking at a conference honouring a late right-wing Israeli legislator, Bennett voiced opposition to the eviction of Amona, an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land in 1995 and considered illegal under international and Israeli law.

"We have to mark the dream, and the dream is that Judea and Samaria will be part of the sovereign state of Israel,” Bennett said, using an Israeli name for the West Bank.

Two Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons entered the 10th day of a hunger strike in protest of being sentenced to administrative detention -- Israel’s widely condemned policy of internment without charge or trial, according to a lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

Majd Abu Shamla, 25, and Hassan Rabayaa, 31, both from the northern occupied West Bank district of Jenin, reportedly entered the 10th day of their hunger strike after being placed in administrative detention, PPS said in a statement.

Qaws, 45, has been detained tens of times by Israeli forces according to PPS, most recently in June when he was assaulted and taken in for interrogation.

“It’s hard to miss the Israeli fingerprints [in the military operations in Colombia]… suddenly there are targeted assassinations, eliminating the number two guy in FARC, within Ecuador. The methods of operations that were proven successful in the casbahs of Nablus and Hebron now speak Spanish.

Israeli minister urges pardon for soldier who 'executed' Palestinian

Israel's Education Minister Naftali Bennett demanded an amnesty on Sunday for a soldier accused of killing a Palestinian who was lying wounded after stabbing another soldier in the occupied West Bank.

The case has stirred controversy and rocked Israeli politics, with the far right defending the soldier, French-Israeli national Elor Azaria, and the military putting him on trial for manslaughter.

"This soldier should not spend a single day in prison. If he is found guilty, he should immediately be pardoned," Bennett told military radio on Sunday.

How both Israel and Turkey exploit Gaza's suffering

For the first time since the signing of the reconciliation agreement between Israel and Turkey June 27, and a day after its ratification by the parliament in Ankara Aug. 20, Israel once again struck in the Gaza Strip. In response to a rocket fired Aug. 21 from Gaza into the Israeli southern town of Sderot, the Israeli air force hit some 50 targets in the Palestinian territory over a two-hour period. Ankara announced that the Israeli attack was “not acceptable,” constitutes a breach of international law, disrupts the peace process with the Palestinians (it’s not clear to what process it was referring) and violates the relative calm in the region.

Peace Is Justice, and Justice Doesn’t Need a Partner

One of the main claims of Israeli propaganda is also one of the worst — that there is no partner for peace. In fact there was, is and will be a partner. But we can leave that aside. No partner is necessary.

They so dearly want two states and are so against the occupation, say many self-righteous Israelis — and then comes the heartrending sigh, carrying all the sorrow of the Jewish fate — but there’s no partner. If only there were. If only. He is desperate for peace, but there’s no one to make it with. And so he must, he is forced against his will, miserable victim that he is, to continue the occupation. In recent years this shtick has become a central trick of the propaganda of Zion. With the exception of the extreme right, which says openly that it wants apartheid forever because the Jewish nation is superior, everybody uses it. ......

Palestinian Bedouins defy Israel’s bulldozers

The area around Bir Hadaj provides a stark illustration of how Israel runs an apartheid system.

Located in the Naqab (Negev in Hebrew) region of present-day Israel, Bir Hadaj hosts an agricultural community of around 7,000 Palestinian Bedouins. They are crammed into 6,500 dunams (a dunam is the equivalent of 1,000 square meters).

By contrast, approximately 1,000 Jews live in the neighboring kibbutz of Revivim. It covers an area of 30,000 dunams, one-sixth of which is reserved for olive trees.

Unlike the residents of Revivim, the Bedouins of Bir Hadaj have been repeatedly attacked by the Israeli authorities.

Israel displaces 45 Palestinians in Jerusalem (27-10)

On Wednesday morning, Israeli forces demolished a building in Silwan, a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem. Thirty Palestinians were consequently displaced, most of them children.

The site was demolished under the pretext that it was built without a construction permit. The multi-unit building stood two stories tall and included four apartments, each spanning 125 square meters.

Issa Jaafreh, the owner of the apartment, told reporters that an official from the municipality of Jerusalem visited the building on Tuesday and informed him that the demolition would commence the following day.

The building was constructed 17 years ago and Israeli authorities issued a demolition order against it nine years ago. Since then, the family has tried to secure a permit for the building, but the Jerusalem municipality repeatedly rejected their efforts.

Israeli settlers cut down 18 trees on private Palestinian land near Bethlehem(29-10)

Israeli settlers on Saturday morning cut down 18 olive trees belonging to a Palestinian family in the village of Nahalin, west of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank.

Journalist Hani Fanun, whose family owns the trees, said his family went to harvest olives on their land in the Wadi al-Hariq area of Nahalin, and found that settlers from the nearby illegal Gush Etzion settlement bloc had cut down over 18 large olive trees.

Fanun told Ma’an that the family’s land is closest to the Bat Ayin settlement -- which is part of the cluster of Israeli settlements that make up the Gush Etzion bloc -- and was reclaimed by the family after an order by the Israeli Supreme Court proved that it belonged to them.http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=773769

Liberal Democrats Expel British Peer for Supporting Palestinian Rights

For decades I’ve joked about an institution I “founded” called the Spinoza Society. It’s a group of distinguished Jews who, over the ages, have been ostracized or excommunicated from their respective Jewish communities for holding views outside the mainstream. They were dissenters who chose a different path. One that took them outside the mainstream, but resulted in ultimate vindication. Of course the first, and charter member was Baruch Spinoza. He was excommunicated from the Amsterdam Jewish Community in the 17th century for speaking heresies in which he denied the Afterlife and that God acted outside the natural order. His co-religionists deemed such views as dangerous and sent him packing.

Why I left the cult

Dear Israel and Israeli Jews,

Maybe it’s pointless writing to you, and I guess I am not expecting a response. I am writing because I feel a certain sense of duty. After all I come from you, so maybe, maybe some of you might listen to me, might get curious, take a risk and entertain what is currently unthinkable to you.

I left what seems like a very long time ago, twenty-five years. I don’t think you’ve changed much since, except for the worse maybe. Psychologies like yours have the nasty habit of getting worse if left untreated. I always remember you as harsh, defensive, hot around the collar and ready to explode at every opportunity, loud and unforgiving. You had pockets of calm and maybe even kindness, but they were reserved for those who lived in the nicer greener places, and they had more money than we did.http://mondoweiss.net/2016/10/why-i-left-the-cult/

Aboriginal artist’s message resonates in Palestine

“Survival is a very strong instinct.”

Such words resonate with Palestinians, even when spoken in a different language by a man who embraces a different struggle and lives halfway around the world.

Indeed, much of what Richard Bell, the indigenous Australian artist, had to say in Jerusalem on 14 October could have come from any Palestinian in the city, Gaza or in the diaspora.

And in the sense of showing there is a shared language among the oppressed of this world, Qalandiya International, the biennial contemporary art event, which this year is entitled This Sea is Mine, was a success.

Israel breaching Palestinians’ right to development amid ‘epic’ unemployment and poverty, UN report says

“Israel’s occupation is denying Palestine’s right to development and severely hampering its ability to attain even the minimum targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.
“Poverty is rising. Unemployment is rising to epic levels. Food insecurity is becoming more acute. The Palestinian economy is becoming more stifled and less viable under the occupation.

“Israel’s deliberate fragmentation of the OPT and lack of development has negatively impacted human rights.”

Unemployment in the Palestinian territories – the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip – stands at 27 per cent, more than double the rate in 1999.

U.N. voted to partition Palestine 68 years ago, in an unfair plan made even worse by Israel’s ethnic cleansing
Palestinians were 2/3rds of the population but offered 43% of land. Then, Israel ethnically cleansed it & took more


The front page of the November 29, 1947 edition of the New York Times read “[General] Assembly Votes Palestine Partition; Margin Is 33 to 13; Arabs Walk Out; Aranha Hails Work as Session Ends.”
Why were the Arabs angry? Because, for the indigenous Palestinians, the deal was a thoroughly bad one. Palestinians comprised approximately two-thirds of the population, yet were offered just 43 percent of their land in the deal.

“Aranha” refers to Osvaldo Aranha, a Brazilian diplomat. As president of the U.N.

He delayed the vote on resolution 181 by two days in order to give the U.S. and other pro-Israel countries more time to pressure U.N. member states to vote for the plan.

A prominent British far-right activist and anti-Muslim campaigner has posted photos of himself posing with a gun on an Israeli tank in the occupied Golan Heights.

Tommy Robinson, who leads Pegida UK, the British branch of the German-founded Pegida movement, posted the photo on Wednesday and wrote: "All those people telling me to be careful in Israel, I think I'll be ok."
The founder and former leader of the anti-Muslim English Defence League (EDL), whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arrived in Israel on Monday, posting the message "The Eagle has landed" on Twitter.

On Tuesday he posted a photo of himself posing by a road sign in the illegally occupied West Bank.
