March 2010
The moderator at the inauguration of the Palestinian Agriculture Ministry's new offices in the northern Jordan Valley paced uneasily behind the speaker's back, and twice tried to stop him. Then Agriculture Minister Ismail Du'ek got up to speak. Smiling, he said that the previous speaker, Fathi Khdirat of the valley's Popular Struggle Committees, is "naughty, and we need naughty people."
The dedication of the new branch, located in an old building that was renovated, took place on February 22. This is only the ministry's second office in the valley, in addition to the one in Jericho. The new branch and the ceremony constitute a small part of a determined effort by the government of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to expand its involvement in 60 percent of the West Bank areas, which its predecessors completely neglected.
This could be seen as a "naughty" - that is, subversive - decision, and as a rejection of the Israeli dictate barring Palestinian development in that 60 percent (Area C) until further notice.

UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk appears in an undated file photo
[MaanImages]
Chicago – Ma'an – Richard Falk, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, said on Monday the Palestinian Authority (PA) urged him to step down after he criticized the PA’s treatment of a UN war crimes report.
Falk confirmed reports that the joint PA-PLO mission to the UN in Geneva also delayed consideration in the UN Human Rights Council of his most recent report alleging Israeli abuses of Palestinians’ rights. Arabic-language news reports of the delay surfaced last week.
Falk said PA officials formally approached him in February asking him to resign, arguing that he is unable to carry out his responsibilities since Israel detained him at Ben Gurion International Airport and deported him in late 2008.

"Les Palestiniens ne combattent pas les Israéliens par antisémitisme, anti-blanchisme, anti-occidentalisme, ou quoi d'autre encore. L'historien israélien Benny Morris a saisi le conflit en termes de dépossession et de déplacement des Palestiniens de leurs terres. Quand on a dépouillé la crise de la propagande et des mythes qui la recouvrent, voilà ce qu'il en reste"...
("The Palestinians don't fight the Israelis because they are antisemitic, anti-white, anti-western, or any other such thing. The Israeli historian Benny Morris summed up the conflict in terms of the dispossession and displacement of the Palestinians from their lands. When one strips away from the conflict all the propaganda and the myths that surround it, that is what remains"...).

Il 25 febbraio 2010, Forze di Sicurezza dell’Autorità Palestinese hanno arrestato a Nablus un gruppo di compagni come dimostrazione della loro “cooperazione per la sicurezza” con l’occupazione israeliana.
La compagna Khalida Jarrar, che fa parte dell’Ufficio Politico del Fronte Popolare per la Liberazione della Palestina, ha denunciato con forza questi arresti, dichiarando che tali azioni servono solo agli interessi dell’occupante sionista e richiedendo l’immediato rilascio dei compagni arrestati.
La compagna Jarrar ha domandato il bando totale degli arresti politici e la fine della politica della cooperazione per la sicurezza con l’occupante, e della partecipazione alla sua attività di aggressione contro il nostro popolo.
Nelle prime ore del mattino del 25 febbraio, i compagni Muhammad At-Teriaqi, di 17 anni, Muhammad Jihad An-Natur, di 18 anni, Omer Tayseer Abdul Haq, di 18 anni, e Muhammad Al-Madani, di 17 anni, sono stati arrestati a Nablus dalle Forze di Sicurezza dell’Autorità Palestinese.
