Why isn’t Kusra killing on the front page of our newspapers? - Video

September 30, 2011

Imagine for a moment that on the day of the fancy speeches at the U.N. last Friday an Israeli father had been killed by a rocket out of Gaza. You know that the killing and the funeral would have been big news in the States. I bet we would have seen a photo of the grieving family and village on the front page of the Times-- alongside of Abbas, asking the world for a Palestinian state. The nightly news would have had some footage.

Well last Friday morning -- as Mahmoud Abbas later stated in his speech that day at the U.N.-- Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian father of 7 in the little village of Kusra in the northern West Bank. Issam Badran was 35.

A group of Israeli settlers came to tear down the village's olive trees. They had set fire to its mosque earlier this month. And the village is resisting in its way. Three hundred people from the village went out to protect their lands last Friday.

Israeli soldiers came between the settlers and Palestinians. And who did they attack-- the villagers! They shot Badran in the neck. Here is the best account I've seen: link to www.palestinemonitor.org

Yossi M.: "Poi capisci che sono bugie"

La testimonianza di un ex militare israeliano che ha trascorso oltre un anno a Gerico nei Territori palestinesi occupati. Ma e' anche la storia di un percorso dalla negazione dell'altro al riconoscimento dei suoi diritti.

Tel Aviv, 08 ottobre 2011, Nena News -“Avevo un amico, nell’esercito, che era un immigrato ebreo estone. Parlavamo a lungo. La notte dell’11 settembre, mentre ci preparavamo ad eseguire gli ordini ed entrare con i carri armati nella città di Gerico, mi disse: “In Estonia ero un ragazzino che partecipava all’intifada contro l’esercito sovietico. Volevo essere libero, e lanciavo molotov ai carri armati russi. Non posso entrare in quella città su un merkava”. Neanche io volevo entrarci. Così andammo dal nostro comandante, un colono ebreo di Gaza, e ci rifiutammo di eseguire gli ordini: noi andammo in prigione, e tutti gli altri a Gerico”.

Questo, secondo Yossi M., 31 anni, è stato uno dei momenti in cui ha cominciato a capire che molti dei valori secondo i quali era stato cresciuto, stavano vacillando davanti alla realtà dei fatti. “La zona di Gerico- racconta- è stata la mia postazione per più di un anno durante il servizio militare. La città non aveva partecipato alla prima Intifada, e non stava prendendo parte neanche alla seconda. Non succedeva assolutamente nulla lì. Ma il mattino dell’Undici Settembre, il comandante ci radunò nel cortile della base militare e ci informò che l’America era stata attaccata. Gli Stati Uniti parlavano di terroristi di Al-Qaeda, ma il nostro comandante sosteneva che l’intelligence avesse ricevuto informazioni segrete dalla Giordania riguardo al vero mandante degli attentati: l’armata rossa giapponese (!). Ma comunque ci sarebbe stata una guerra, e noi avremmo dovuto marciare su Gerico con i merkava, con i paracadutisti, gli elicotteri e la fanteria. Non c’era un obiettivo, un nemico lì. Molti di noi erano felici perché finalmente avrebbero agito da veri soldati, ma io non ne capivo il perché”.

Ramallah's construction industry is booming, and is seen as a symbol of economic growth in the West Bank. The IMF and World bank praise the performance of the Palestinian economy, but others says it is just a veneer. The Palestinian Authority is on the point of demanding statehood from the United Nations, but could an independent Palestine pay its way? ...

‘That’s what democracy means’: Kristof makes the common sense argument for one state

October 6, 2011

Today Nick Kristof has a column in the Times titled "Is Israel Its Own Worst Enemy?" which lays out the current impasse in Israeli/Palestinian negotiations (including Obama's "humiliation" at the UN). He ends:

So where do we go from here? If a peace deal is not forthcoming soon, and if Israel continues its occupation, then Israel should give the vote in Israeli elections to all Palestinians in the areas it controls. If Jews in the West Bank can vote, then Palestinians there should be able to as well.

Leading Settler Rabbi, Owner of Major Internet Portal, Endorses Price Tag, Vigilante Justice, Palestinian Genocide, Insurrection Against State

Richard Silverstein -

Tikun Olam, December 17, 2011

Rabbi Yeshaiyahu Rotter

Rabbi Yeshayahu Rotter, the founder of Rotter.net, Israel’s major news and gossip portal, wrote a column in HaKol Hayehudi, a website maintained by the extremist Yitzhar yeshiva run by Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg (co-author of Torat HaMelech, which advocates murdering Palestinian children since they’ll grow up to murder Jews). In the column, he endorses the price tag strategy of the most extreme of the Hilltop Youth. Keep in mind that his endorsement comes directly on the heels of some of the most incendiary acts of violence in the entire history of price tag activities: a few days ago settlers directly attacked an IDF West Bank outpost and threw a brick at a senior IDF officer in his vehicle, injuring him. This follows three mosque arson attacks, repeated death and bomb threats against Peace Now leaders, sexual assaults against peace activists and much more.

Tredicenne preso a sprangate. Adesso è caccia al «branco»

redazione de l'Arena -

l'Arena.it, 18/12/2011

«Che c...zo hai da guardare, negro di m...da?». La prima volta, la stessa frase, quei ventenni l'avevano detta giovedì pomeriggio in autobus. Ma poi l'avevano piantata lì. Era rivolta a un tredicenne di origine srilankese che vive con la sua famiglia a Veronetta e che era con alcuni compagni di scuola sull'autobus.
Il giorno dopo, venerdì pomeriggio la storia si ripete: i giovani si incontrano di nuovo, ma i quattro non si fermano a pronunciare la frase quando il ragazzo con altri suoi compagni viene trovato in via IV Novembre. Lo spintonano, prendono una spranga di ferro da un motorino e lo picchiano.
Uno di loro ha una bottiglia di birra in mano e la versa sulla faccia del ragazzino che viene buttato a terra e poi i quattro delinquenti cercano di farlo rotolare sotto un'auto in transito, ma per fortuna non ci riescono.

470 Palestiniens arrêtés par les forces de l'occupation israélienne en deux mois, depuis la libération des 477 prisonniers politiques

ISM-France/Addameer -

Alter-Info

Un rapport d'Addameer, le groupe de soutien aux prisonniers palestiniens, révèle que depuis l'échange de prisonniers conclu par le gouvernement sioniste et les autorités du Hamas, et qui a vu la libération, en échange du soldat Shalit, le 18 octobre dernier, de 477 prisonniers politiques palestiniens, le chiffre effarant de 470 Palestiniens ont été arrêtés à ce jour. L'Etat sioniste a donc "récupéré" pratiquement le nombre de détenus libérés

470 Palestiniens arrêtés par les forces de l'occupation israélienne en deux mois, depuis la libération des 477 prisonniers politiques

De plus, les prisonniers libérés ont été soumis au harcèlement des forces d'occupation, avec des descentes à leurs domiciles, le harcèlement des membres de leurs familles, des convocations des services secrets et même des re-arrestations.

L'occupation a continué d'employer ses méthodes brutales d'arrestation, souvent pratiquées par les forces clandestines, les infâmes musta'arabeen, des hommes en civil placés en embuscade pour arrêter les Palestiniens sur leurs lieux de travail ou dans la rue. Dans de nombreux cas, les arrestations ont eu lieu lors de raids nocturnes pendant lesquels les soldats ont délibérément détruit le contenu des maisons qu'ils fouillaient.

Ad-Dameer Denounces Daily Arrests In Shu’fat Refugee Camp

Saed Bannoura - IMEMC -

IMEMC, December 19, 2011

The Ad-Dameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association denounced the Israeli Army for the daily kidnappings of children and youth at the Shu’fat refugee camp, in occupied East Jerusalem, adding that the army kidnapped more than 21 youths, including 11 children in the last 15 days.

Lawyer of Ad-Dameer stated that the arrests are directly connected to the demand that Israel opens the Shu’fat terminal that is leading to the isolation of 50.000 Jerusalemite Palestinians from the city.

Soldiers based at the terminal only allow those who carry a Jerusalem ID cards, or a special permit to cross, therefore many youths who live there, and are not granted permits, and are frequently arrested.

On my release from jail

Mohammed Khatib -

Dear Giorgio,

I have just been released from jail, after three days inside. I was arrested last Friday, together with 22 others, in the village of Nabi Saleh, during a demonstration commemorating the murder of Mustafa Tamimi. Our arrest took place as we peacefully protested near the entrance to the Jewish-only settlement of Halamish, which is built on lands stolen from Nabi Saleh.

Minutes after we got to the gate, Israeli Border Police officers moved in to remove us from the scene. Palestinians, Israeli and international activists, we were all shackled and dragged away into military jeeps that transported us to the adjacent military base, which is in fact part of the settlement.
