Don't worry, we have brought a broom TOI-Billboard, October 7, 2006The Other Israel's email updates --Introduction _______________________________ Here follows TOI's selection of this week's Occupation Magazine's daily picks Women activists harvest/expose the Rabin Square olive
trees
Adam Keller - kibush.co.il - "You have no permit to demonstrate here, you must disperse!" "We are not demonstrating, we are harvesting olives." "What?" For once, the tough Tel Aviv Municipal Marshals were caught unready. Nobody had ever thought of passing a municipal ordinance or by-law forbidding the picking of olives. "But you are littering, the pavement is full of leaves! This is forbidden!" "Don`t worry, we have brought a broom. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16685 Bil’in defiant in midday sun-invaded later
ISM updates - www.palsolidarity.org - A few hours after the demonstration yesterday Israeli soldiers eventually managed to invade the village shooting rubber bullets and firing sound bombs at Palestinian children who threw stones at them to defend their village. Three houses were damaged. Reuters cameraman Emad Bornat (who is also a resident of the village), who was the only person present filming this, was arrested and beaten. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16684 We need to switch gears
Manuela Dviri - Haaretz - Whatever the conclusions of the committee of inquiry, at present we have no need for a weak government and a prime minister busy defending himself on a personal level, and certainly not for cheap demagoguery and belligerent populism, negative energy, self-righteousness and eye-rolling. We are in need of hope: of a broad forward perspective (rather than always just looking back in anger), a comprehensive and creative view, a practical plan of action. But mainly we are in need of a break, in order to give the prime minister and the entire government time and opportunity to prove whether they do in fact have the necessary courage, strength, depth of thinking and will to repair the mistakes of the past and lead the nation - this time, to a diplomatic step that will be as great as was the disappointment with the war (see the signals from Syria). http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16683 Haniyya will not recognize occupation, offers extended
truce
IMEMC staff/agencies - IMEMC/Ha`aretz - The Palestinian Prime Minister, Ismail Haniyya, a member of the Hamas party, said during a speech in front of tens of thousands of residents in Gaza that Hamas will not recognize the Israeli occupation over Palestine, and offered a 10-year truce with Israel. The Ha`aretz account makes no mention of this offer and emphasizes that "Hamas won`t recognize Israel". http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16679 Guests on a frail planet - Sukkot as a reminder of human
unity
Rabbi Lewis Weiss - btvshalom.org - As anyone has built a sukkah can attest, it is a frail home, a place where it doesn`t do to depend on material security. We are required to be able to see the stars through its roof -- a potent reminder that we lie beneath the heavens shared by all God`s creatures. The message is clear: We are all but guests on a frail planet. If we don`t work together, our future is endangered, our temporary structure will collapse. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16675 ICG: "Now is the time to launch an Arab-Israeli peace
initiative" Report
International Crisis Group-electronic intifada-“...security and full recognition to the state of Israel ... an end to the occupation for the Palestinian people in an independent, sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital, recovery of lost land to Syria and a fully sovereign and secure Lebanese state.” http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16660 Bad faith and the destruction of
Palestine
Jonathan Cook-Arab Media Internet Network-"The occupation of Gaza did not begin this year, after Hamas was elected, nor did it end with the disengagement a year ago. The occupation is four decades old and still going strong .... Israel has followed a consistent policy of subjugating the Palestinian population, imprisoning it inside ever-shrinking ghettos, sealing it off from contact with the outside world, and destroying its chances of ever developing an independent economy." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16658 The Golan in the role of Sharm
Danny Yatom and Moshe Amirav-Ha`aretz-"The leadership explains its inflexibility with the slogan: "Syria has not changed." This judgment ignores important developments, the most significant of which was the Arab League`s decision (endorsed by Syria) in Beirut, supporting full peace and normalization of relations with Israel in return for the territories it has captured." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16656 Refuseniks: IDF employs apartheid regime
Yael Ivri-YNet News- "Instead of Gaza becoming part of a future Palestinian state, it became a prison. Nothing enters and nothing leaves, and the Palestinian population is being starved. The solution is negotiations, not one-faceted steps." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16654 Assessment of damages caused bei the IDF operations in the
Gaza Strip : 26.6. - 28.8.06
UNDP - "Following the kidnapping of an IDF soldier by three Palestinian militants, the IDF launched a military offensive in the Gaza strip on 28 June 06 codenamed "Operation Summer Rains". In addition to killing 200 Palestinians including 44 children, the operation resulted in extended damage to Palestinian infrastructure and economy in the Gaza strip" http://www.kibush.co.il/downloads/DamagesGaza_UNDP.pdf Joint Alert by Palestinian Human Rights Organisations to
Representatives of the International Community
Al-Haq and others - "It must be recognised that the current crisis stems from the almost 40-year-long Israeli occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, and the fact that both Israel and the international community have repeatedly failed to meet their obligations under international law with regard to the OPT." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16646 The settlers are not resting
Editorial - Haaretz - "t Is difficult to know whether the settlements are continuing to grow because of government indifference or as part of an effort to buy quiet on the right." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16626 Not an internal Palestinian matter
Amira Hass - Haaretz - " The experiment was a success: The Palestinians are killing each other." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16627 Olive Harvest - Soldiers Interrupt Harvest at Kufr
Qalil
Josie - (IWPS) - "The farmer, myself and another international woman approached them and were told that the family could not harvest today as they had not consulted with the army first to arrange it." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16621 Peace Now: Outposts expanded during war
Efrat Weiss - Ynet - The report enumerates the outposts in which expansion works have been undertaken: three trailers were added in Derech Avot in Hebron; in Gilad Farm and Yair Farm in Samaria, two more were added. One trailer each was added in Gush Etzion, Bat-Ein, Nofei Nahamia (near Tapuah Junction), Neveh Daniel and Point 468 (north of Jerusalem). http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16598 Judge: Police officers lied while testifying against
left-wing activists
Nir Hasson - Haaretz - Oct. 3 - Judge Muki Landman harshly criticized the police`s behavior in his ruling. "A feeling of serious discomfort has arisen from the mighty gap between the officers` testimony and what is seen in the video tapes," Landman wrote. "I cannot rule out the possibility that had it not been for the videotapes, I would have reached a different result regarding the defendants." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16603 Talking to Syria - on the condition of no
conditions
JP staff & AP - Jerusalem Post - PM Olmert would agree to hold negotiations if the Syrians entered without pre-conditions and only if the recognition of Israel`s right to exist were promised, Army Radio reported. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16607 Anti-war struggle in war zone (report from
Haifa)
Iris Bar - The Other Israel - And then, on August 14, at 8:00 am, the Open War stopped, as suddenly as it began, putting an end to a really strange period. Despite the fact that we were active almost every day (we organized and participated in protests three to four times a week, and also did more social activity than usual) I felt, more than ever, that the real politics, the real changes in the world, are achieved by other people who use other means. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16609 Ilan Pappe: Israeli academia deserves to be
boycotted
Ilan Pappe - Irish Times - Oct 03, 2006 - Israeli academia is guilty as charged by the Palestinian academics. By not raising their voices in protest, Israeli academics allow the atrocities to continue. Moreover, Israeli academia is providing the moral infrastructure for the occupation and key members of it assist in its daily praxis. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16602
