Refugees in their own land
Trade in ancient olive

Arab peace initiative is another missed opportunity for Israel
Today is the ninth anniversary of the approval of the
Arab League Peace Initiative. Back then, all the Arab states
followed

Conference, offered Israel the best deal the Jewish
state
has received since the Balfour Declaration.
Gideon Levy, Haaretz, March 27, 2011:Who

Had Peace Now not published reports

declarations by Ehud Olmert's government that construction had been suspended
and that efforts were being made to reach a peace agreement to include
withdrawal from most of the West Bank. From the complaints by the settlers'
leadership as well, one might have concluded that there was a freeze on building
and that the settler youth were really and truly homeless.
But quite different things are happening in the territories. ...

An Arab city in the Galilee would mean a less green Israel. (Nehemia
Shtrasler)
Last Tuesday should have been a day of mourning for those who love nature and
the environment.
But for some reason, it passed quietly. On that day, two decisions were made.
One was widely publicized:
to establish a new Arab city in the Galilee. The second passed easily, with no
media fanfare:
to establish a new town in the eastern part of the Lachish region.
The first decision was unnecessary. It came after Interior Minister Meir
Sheetrit visited Umm al-Fahm.
In his eagerness to please the residents, Sheetrit announced he had ordered his
ministry's staff to examine
establishing a new Arab city in the Galilee.
Given our reality (a declared policy of "Judaizing the Galilee" and ministers
who are replaced every two to three years),
it seems we will have peace with the Palestinians before a new Arab city arises.
Nevertheless,
it is worth examining the matter in principle. ...

When Ehud Olmert warns that the

The agreement to withdraw, or to make "painful concessions," as it is

alternative. The only question is whether another Yitzhak Rabin can be

Democracy first
Israel needs to be a sovereign state, not a Jewish one
Still a democracy? Shulamit Aloni
The government of Israel, with all due respect, does not represent the
Jewish people but rather the citizens of the State of Israel who elected
it. Israel is a sovereign state, which is still considered to be a
democracy. In other words, it is a state for all of its citizens.
Therefore it must not demand of the Palestinians to recognize it as a
Jewish state, because in that way it would be declaring that any citizen
whose mother is not Jewish or who did not convert with our strict
Orthodox rabbis is a second-rate citizen, and his rights as a human
being and a citizen are not ensured.
The Jews are a people but not a nation, they are a religious ethnic
group or as respected a tribe as may be. The Jewish citizens of Britain,
including the Orthodox among them, are British, and that is what is
written in their passports and in the British population registry....

actions that point to real progress. I do not yet hear enough meaningful
words, nor do I yet see enough unambiguous deeds to justify optimism.
However, that does not mean I am without hope. I am a Christian. I am
constrained by my faith to hope against hope, placing my trust in things
as yet unseen. Hope persists in the face of evidence to the contrary,
undeterred by setbacks and disappointment. Hoping against hope, then, I
do believe that a resolution will be found. It will not be perfect, but
it can be just; and if it is just, it will usher in a future of peace.

normal childhood in Gaza. Her father, Hamdi, worked in construction in
Israel for years. On May 20, 2006, Maria and her family took a
drive in their car to visit her sick aunt. At the exact same time, the
Israel Defense Forces tried to assassinate Islamic Jihad's
Mohammed Dahdouh. An Israel Air Force plane circling above Gaza fired a
missile at his car, which was traveling through Gaza City.
But the missile hit the Amans' car, depriving Mariya of her mother, her
6-year-old brother, her grandmother and her uncle. A second brother,
Muaman, 4, sustained moderate injuries. Mariya was critically wounded
in her spine. She was left completely paralyzed, and her Israeli doctors
determined that she would never be able to talk or even breathe on her
own, much less walk, run or jump. Mariya is on a respirator at

their offer to Israel for a comprehensive and just peace, the "Arab
Peace Initiative."
The Arab Peace Initiative offers a historic vision and a historic
compromise: In exchange for an end to 40 years of Israeli occupation,
full withdrawal to the June 4, 1967 borders, establishment of a
sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and a
just and agreed-upon solution to the plight of the Palestinian refugees
based on UN Resolution 194, Arab states would provide a comprehensive
and sustainable peace based on ending the conflict, achieving regional
stability and security for all, and full acceptance and normalization of
relations with Israel.

What was forgotten that morning
Six months prior to the Six-Day

Ministry explored the possibility of Israel occupying the West Bank.
Various scenarios that might lead to such an outcome were discussed,
such as the fall of King Hussein's regime in Jordan, an Iraqi invasion
of Jordan or a Palestinian uprising. At the end of the deliberations,
all were in accord that the occupation of the West Bank would be
contrary to Israel's national interest. They concluded that Israel would
reap nothing good from ruling over the Palestinians, only bad -
including an erosion of the country's Jewish majority and a violent
uprising against the occupation.

In a report timed to coincide with this week's 40th anniversary of the
1967 Six Day War, Amnesty on Monday also called for Israel to dismantle
West Bank settlements and roadblocks, for the Palestinians to end
attacks on Israeli civilians and for the international community to
monitor both sides. ...
The Amnesty report also urged Israel to rescind other measures in the
West Bank, including IDF and police checkpoints. Apart from the fence,
"The movement of Palestinians is constrained by a host of other
restrictions, including over 500 checkpoints and blockades, and a
network of roads for Israeli settlers to use (which are) off-limits to
Palestinians, the 45-page Amnesty report said. ...

In a harsh report released yesterday, the Public Committee Against Torture

torturing Palestinian security suspects.
The report includes the testimonies of nine Palestinians who were arrested
by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet between 2004 and 2005, including
one that charged police investigators with severe sexual abuse.
The prisoners interviewed complain of beatings, painful sitting positions
for long periods of time and being tied up painfully, among other things.
The report says the doctors at the hospitals and prisons ignore the

Haaretz 31/05/2007: A vow in vain
By Talia Sasson
A law proposed by Yisrael Beiteinu MK David Rotem, and which has passed its
first reading in the Knesset, ostensibly deals with a minor matter - a
change in the wording of the swearing-in oath elected Knesset members take
when taking office. However, this proposal, if it becomes law, is liable to
have serious implications.
The current oath reads: "I swear to be loyal to the State of Israel and to
fulfill in good faith my mission in the Knesset." Under the proposed law, an
elected member would be required to take the following vow: "I swear to be
loyal to the Jewish and democratic state of Israel, its values and its
symbols and to fulfill in good faith my mission in the Knesset."

Gideon Levy: And now, the IDF's killing of an unborn child
And now, a fetus-By Gideon Levy
Memorial posters decorate the walls of the Rafidiya government hospital in
Nablus, covering earlier posters of countless young people
who have been killed. But this poster is like nothing we have seen before:
a fetus covered in its own blood, its tiny head blown up by the
bullet that struck its mother, and the caption - "Who gave you the right to
steal his life?"
The killing of the unborn child, Daoud, by Israel Defense Forces troops
raises a series of moral, legal and philosophical questions.
Is the killing of a fetus manslaughter? Is it murder? And how old is the
victim? But all these questions are dwarfed by the woman lying
stunned and injured in the maternity ward of the hospital in Nablus, in
agony, with all kinds of tubes attached to her, refusing to answer
a single question. ...

Israeli Policy Makes a Two-State Solution Less
Likely Summary of CNI Foundation "Public Hearing" with Jeff Halper and Naim
Ateek
By Carlton Cobb February 16, 2007
Two Israeli peace activists told an audience in Washington, DC, this week
that, as long as current Israeli policies continue, a real two-state
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is increasingly unlikely and
perhaps impossible. The speakers were the Rev. Dr. Naim Ateek, founder and
director of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem,
and Jeff Halper, founder and coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against
House Demolitions (ICAHD). Halper and Ateek spoke at the National Press Club
on Monday, February 12th, 2007, at the CNI Foundation's 22nd "public
hearing" to bring a much-needed debate about U.S. Middle East policy to
Washington, DC.

It will be interesting to see what excuse they come up with after the

that the newest attempt to ease the lives of the Palestinians will fail

The Mossawa Advocacy Center for Arab Citizens in Israel said that out of a total

NIS 400 million had been allocated to the Arab sector. Mossawa based its
report on data collected from official government decisions
and the 2007 State Budget bill. The Prime Minister's Office Director General

The last days of Defense Minister Peretz-An empty car By Gideon Levy
An empty car arrived at the Defense Ministry, and Amir Peretz stepped
out of the car, to paraphrase Winston Churchill's jibe at Clement Atlee.
Even the harshest critics of Peretz have to acknowledge the important
contribution he has made: He has demonstrated that the position of defense
minister is completely superfluous. It is possible to go to war, withdraw
forces, pulverize Gaza, deploy vis-a-vis Iran, and even control the West
Bank
without a defense minister. It suddenly becomes apparent that an answering
machine at the defense minister's office is sufficient.
Fact: Peretz has faded away, yet all of these things occurred.

Gaza Strip residents said Israel Defense Forces troops shot dead a

The incident came after at least eight Palestinians were killed Thursday in
two separate IDF operations in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian doctors said the woman was shot by an Israeli sniper while she
was standing outside her home in southern Gaza. The IDF said troops in the
area identified two gunmen east approaching the force east of Khan Yunis and
opened fire, hitting both of them, but was not aware of a woman being hit.

responsible for the "intolerable" situation of the Palestinians.
"I hope that my portrayal of hardships experienced by such people will
trouble the consciences of those accustomed to turning a blind eye and a
deaf ear to the suffering of the Palestinian people," Dugard told the UN
Human Rights Council.
"Gaza is a prison and Israel seems to have thrown away the key," Dugard
said.

Rights group: IDF strike on Gaza power plant was war crime
Gaza Strip to remain without full electrical power for a year
By Gideon Levy, Haaretz Correspondent, and the Associated Press
It could take between eight to 14 months to fix a Gaza Strip power plant
destroyed in an Israel Air Force strike in late June, and to restore full
electrical power to the region.Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem
has accused the Israel Defense Forces of war crimes for bombing the plant,
which has left many areas of the Gaza Strip without full electricitical
power the last three months.
Electricity in many areas is cut off for half of the day, severely hampering
hospitals, the water supply and sewage systems, B'Tselem said in a report.

No light at the end of the tunnel
By Raja Zaatry
The Or Commission report is considered one of the most important and
trenchant official documents concerning the state's attitude toward its Arab
citizens that has been compiled during Israel's 58 years of existence. The
report of the state commission of inquiry, headed by Justice Theodor Or,
that was written in the wake of the events of October 2000 in which 12 Arab
Israelis and one Palestinian were shot and killed by the security forces
failed to live up to the expectations of the families and the Arab public:
It made do with casting minimal blame on small cogs in the system, and also
on the elected representatives of the Arab public, and placed none on the
government echelon that decided that roads had to be opened even at the cost
of human lives.

You're either a Zionist or a terrorist The legal status of fighters
By Meron Benvenisti
The Israeli legal system, stretched to the limit by cases of private and
public corruption, still finds the time and the resources to provide massive
support for spreading and deepening Israel's image as a country suffering
from terrorism and fighting for its existence. It is an image of a country
threatened by traitors from within (Arab Israelis, hoping for a victory of
the Axis of Evil whose center is in Damascus), by Hamas operatives (who
aspire to destroy it) and by murderous Lebanese (Hezbollah).

Beatings and abuse on the Ramin Plain, Summer 2006
Recently, B'Tselem has witnessed a rise in complaints
from Palestinians in the West Bank about abuse by soldiers. A significant
number of complaints concern events that took place in the area referred to
as the Ramin Plain. The area has a dirt road that Palestinians use to avoid
the checkpoint near the Einav settlement.

Arab Israelis are crossing a line
By Uzi Benziman
Organizations that further Jewish-Arab relations in Israel have become
increasingly exposed, since July 12, to an intensifying emotional confrontation
that is taking place between the two peoples. From the Jewish Israeli point of
view, the second Lebanon War constituted an unassailably justified response to a
crass violation of Israel's sovereignty. To Israeli Arabs, the Israel Defense
Forces operation was unnecessary, disproportionate and caused abominable
injustices to their Lebanese brethren. The clash between these two viewpoints
rekindles the question on whether Israel's Jews and Arabs can continue to live
together on the basis of their single common denominator - a shared civil
society.

Bishara, enemy of the people
By Ala Hlehel
The ritual is already known in advance: Balad
party chairman Dr. Azmi Bishara takes some kind of initiative, or does something
or other. Immediately there is an item about it on a major news Web site, the
talkbacks heat up, MKs from the right compete with one another over belligerent
reactions, and an efficient journalist collects some of the statements and
publishes them from top to bottom, in order of the degree of extremism. Israeli
"public opinion" awakens, the television stations broadcast angry follow-ups,
and the presenter accompanies the report with a look of, "Oy, what are we going
to do with him now?" The next day, the government and the legal establishment
join in and get the investigation process under way. All we have to do now is to
wait for the indictment and the petitions to the High Court of Justice.

2006 Living deaths
By Shahar Ilan
Anwar Ghazem's entire world is his father's apartment in East
Jerusalem, located near Damascus Gate, along with its courtyard
and a stall in the market down below. If he goes even a few
dozen meters from his home, he will be arrested by Border
Policemen, many of whom are permanently stationed in that area.
When Odeh Aliada of the unrecognized village of Bir Daj was hit
by a car, he rejected the driver's urgings that he go to a
hospital, even though he had suffered internal injuries. His
fear of the Israeli system was greater than his fear of injury.
When Ghazem proposed marriage to his beloved, her father told
him that there would be something to talk about only if he
acquired an identity card.

Israel must be made to conform to international
law - Making Israel take responsibility - By James Bowen
Many countries try to excuse their failings by blaming outsiders. For
several decades after independence,
people in the Irish Republic blamed its economic under-performance on
centuries of British rule. Similarly, ,
Israel uses anti-Semitism to excuse its expulsion of Palestinians in
1948, its discrimination against the Palestinians
who managed to remain inside the Green Line, and its territorial
expansionism after 1967.

Traumatized by the war, Arab education system lacks psychologists to help
By Yoav Stern and Yulie Khromchenko
The B Comprehensive School in the Galilee town of Maghar is a rarity: an
Arab school that lost a student during the war in the North. Would-be
10th grader Doa Abbas will not be joining her peers this year. Tomorrow
her father will attend memorial ceremonies the school is holding for his
daughter. Principal Afif Araida will read passages in her memory, and
her father will speak to her class about what happened.

Gaza doctors encounter 'unexplained injuries'
By Donald Macintyre in Gaza
Doctors in Gaza are reporting what they say are unexplained injuries among the
dead and wounded in operations by the Israeli military,
which have killed more than 200 Palestinians in the past nine weeks. The World
Health Organisation (WHO) is considering whether there is
a case for an investigation into the injuries amid suspicions by the medics
that the injuries were inflicted by what they claim may have been unidentified
"non-conventional" weapons.Beside especially severe burning "down to the bones",
the doctors say that, in other cases, internal organs have been
ruptured without any obvious sign of shrapnel wounds....

A commission to investigate the occupation
By Danny Rubinstein
During the past two months, July and August, 251 Palestinians were
killed in Gaza and the West Bank, all of them by Israel Defense Forces
fire.
About half of them were civilians, including women, children and the
elderly. More Palestinians than Israelis were killed during the war in
Lebanon,
even though the Palestinians did not participate in the war and were not
subjected to Katyusha fire.
