Between Baghdad and Gaza

The 4km stretch of land was squalid, with no water, no food and nowhere to take shelter. The strip of land truly did justice to its name, No Man's Land. Roughly 400 refugees were located there with no way of returning where they had come from, the hell of Iraq, and without permission to continue on to the police state of Syria. The people that inhabited this No Man's Land were paperless and stateless.

Jayyus Village Demonstrate Against Theft of Land, Life, and Culture

On Saturday, the 8th of September, 50 villagers from Jayyus and the surrounding area met together with an equal number of Israeli and international activists to demonstrate non-violently against the Apartheid Wall. They gathered at one of the gates in the wall which local farmers have to go through to reach their land. Only those farmers lucky enough to have permits are allowed to reach their land, and as demonstrators learned later from the speeches given, often times the permits are issued for members of family who are not able to work, or are not in the country, or are dead, or are under the age of 15, or older than 50. In a village of around 4,000 people, 85% of which depend on their farmland for survival, only 90 are today able to access their land with permits.

'No difference between life and death' inside Gaza's fence

Like an overwhelming number of young men in this crowded stretch of land, Mamdouh it-Tanani was out of work and out of hope.  After leaving school five years ago to apprentice with a tailor, Mamdouh, now 20, had been unable to find a job. Then, even the work he picked up at the Karni cargo crossing into Israel ended, after it closed under fire during Hamas's violent takeover of Gaza in mid-June.

Toward the end, when he was transferred to the interrogation cells at the Bituniya headquarters, he started to lose count. Altogether, E'bayat spent 47 days in detention, from June 30 to August 15. He was released on the order of the Bethlehem magistrate's court after no evidence was presented to prove accusations that he had participated in Hamas' operative force in the West Bank.

ABBAS' VILLAGE LEAGUE

For as long Palestinians have resisted violent Israeli policies against them, successive Israeli governments have tried to undermine Palestinian unity and foment divisions.   A principal strategy has been to try to foster alternative leaders willing abandon fundamental Palestinian demands for justice and focus on an agenda with which Israel is comfortable. EI cofounder Arjan El Fassed parallels the Village Leagues established in the 1970s with the current system of Palestinian "self-rule" that instead serves to subcontract the occupation.

ARCHITECTS PROTEST BROWN'S JNF PATRONSHIP

When Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine (APJP) sent a letter to the new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown two weeks ago describing as "disturbing" his decision to become a patron of the Jewish National Fund (JNF), this was another example of the active campaigning of this international pressure group. The letter says: "Your becoming a patron of JNF-UK can be seen as a tacit acceptance of an unacceptable status quo, and also places you in the position of not being an unbiased mediator in the peace process." Susannah Tarbush reports.

Uproar over neo-Nazi gang masks other types of Israeli racism

We should also be outraged by abuse of Palestinians . And after we hear righteous voices calling to protect foreign workers from the violence of the above gang, won't we be thinking about the violence we use against those same foreign workers all the time, and with official backing? Does the manner in which immigration authorities handle foreign workers constitute violence worthy of criticism? Isn't the process of pursuit and expulsion of these foreign workers a case of violence against foreigners? Isn't the attitude that foreign dark-skinned soccer players encounter from fans a blatant expression of racism that should be condemned?

"AIPAC is the most powerful lobby and has pushed this war from the beginning," U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said in this month's Tikkun magazine.
