Five children
in one week
Editorial
- Haaretz - The automatic expressions of sorrow by
government officials, and the argument that "the terrorists
organizations send children deliberately to places where they become
targets," does not suggest that anyone is attempting to learn the
necessary lessons from the mistakes. This is all the more true when the
targets are in areas housing civilians, and the risk is known in advance. Israel cannot behave like a
terrorist organization that targets civilians, even when the shooting comes
in response to an attack. After all, this is the main reason why Israel is encouraging the
boycott of Hamas the world over.

Israeli settlers
threaten land, injure non-violent activist
Dianne Roe - CPT Hebron - At about 9a.m. the Israeli peace activists arrived
(...) Most of the settler youth then ran to the upper field to try to disrupt
the B`nai Avraham
solidarity harvest. Police and soldiers already on the scene moved in quickly
whenever the settlers threatened. They were however unable [sic! ed.] to
prevent the attack on Amro.

Yeela Raanan - RCUV - The
unrecognized village of Twail Abu-Jarwal has been demolished entirely already nine times:
this is the tenth. The bulldozers evacuated the area entirely: 20 tents, that
were the homes of more than 100 people: men, women, elderly and children,
were collected in to trucks, together with the belongings of the village
people, and sent to the local dump. (...) If you can donate your old tent, or
are willing to sponsor a tent, or know of a place in Israel to buy good second
hand military-style tents, please inform me: Yeela Raanan, RCUV. yallylivnat@gmail.com 054 7487005. [NB: IN THE END the screening times of THE BEDOUIN

Nobel winners and
European Parliament Members call for release of Imprisoned Hamas parliamentarians and ministers
Peace Lines - At the initiative of the French-based "Peace
Lines" organization, 19 Nobel laureates and 15 Members of the European Parliament
signed a petition calling for the immediate release of all the imprisoned Hamas Movement parliamentarians and ministers,
specifically mentioning the imprisoned Education Minister, Dr Nasreddin Al Shaer. The
signatories noted that "such acts [as the the arrerst of parliamentarians and ministers] can only make
things worse, and fuel the atrociously vain, deadly spiral of aggression and
retaliation." They also called for "an immediate and permanent end
to all Qassam firing, and to all extra-judicial
killings, as they so obviously feed each other with innocent lives of
by-standers slain, maimed, and traumatized by countless hundreds".

UK Zionist
Federation cancels Haaretz journalist `s scheduled
appearance
Yaakov Lappin - Ynet - According to a UN report, Danny Rubinstein said
that "Israel today was an apartheid State with four different
Palestinian groups: those in Gaza, East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israeli
Palestinians, each of which had a different status." [Ed. comment: As
usual the bearer of the bad news is beheaded.]

`To systematically
share the Palestinian story with a US audience`
Strategic Assessments International, a not-for-profit private international
organization working for the peaceful resolution of conflicts has embarked on
"a focused and collaborative program be established to systematically
share the Palestinian story with a US audience", which in its is view is
vitally needed "regardless of the eventual territorial agreement
Israelis and Palestinians make". The involvement of Israeli academics
from Tel Aviv University in the project was
enough for extereme-right "Academia
Monitor" to call upon donors to stop donations to that university.

Palestinian trade
stifled by Israeli control-UNCTAD
Laura MacInnis - Reuters/www.alertnet.org - The
UNCTAD report estimated that Israel accounts for 92
percent of the value of Palestinian trade, neighbouring
Jordan 2 percent and Egypt a fraction of one
percent. It said unemployment in Palestinian territory reached 30 percent in
2006, a year when exports fell 3 percent and imports rose 20 percent,
stretching the trade deficit to 73 percent of gross domestic product.

“We will replant these trees again”
Anne Paq - IMEMC Editorial-"While
international media attention is focused on the internal Palestinian
conflict, the Israeli authorities continue ...construction of the Wall and
the expansion of colonies on Palestinian lands; there is no international
protest. Construction of the Wall is going fast. Currently a big structure
with concrete and steel has been erected on the field of the Abu Sway family,
and the bulldozers are continuously working in the valley and the surrounding
hills."

considerable distance from the launching ladders."

Border Control / `The best doctors are moving to the West`
Akiva Eldar interviewing
the Palestinian Health Minister Fathi Abu Moghli - " The limitations on movement and the
closures cause poverty in the territories to intensify. Poverty goes
hand-in-hand with illness and illiteracy. Despite the fact that health and
education are provided free, or almost free, too many children do not get to
the clinics and the schools. Either they don`t have
a permit to cross through the checkpoint, or they don`t
have money for a bus ticket, or both. Poverty also leads to a decline in
nutrition levels and the children are the first to pay the price."
