Neither a privilege nor a
luxury -- Introduction Plausible as it all may seem, at the moment it is still a speculation amidst a reality of continuing bloodhsed, oppression and hostility. *** Here follows TOI's selection of this
week's Occupation Magazine's daily picks + one which we added from
Haaretz
The Question that will not be asked
Gershon Baskin - Jerusalem Post & Newsbull - "The conclusions of the national investigation commission will deal with re-arming, military tactics and strategies and the personal failures of officers and leaders during the war – all in preparation for the next war. The one and perhaps most important question that the commission will not even ask is: wasn’t there a way to entirely prevent the eruption of the war and to still achieve the strategic goals put forth by the Government?" http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16095 Peace is neither a privilege nor a
luxury
Yariv Oppenheimer-Ma`ariv and APN Web Site- "Israeli society must accept the immediate need to quickly move towards peace with Syria and the Palestinians, and to establish a Palestinian state that will live as a neighbor alongside Israel." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16076 Needed: A new
mind-set
Naomi Chazan - The Jerusalem Post - "The hegemonic mind-set has dominated Israeli thinking in the past few years. Its most obvious characteristic is a heady self-assurance bordering on arrogance. This ubiquitous hubris has been severely jolted by the Lebanon experience, but it is still unclear whether this shock will also inject sufficient doses of humility necessary to dig below its surface." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16087 Their view of the world is through a
bombsight
Noam Chomsky - The Guardian - "King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, Washington`s oldest ally in the region, was compelled to say: "If the peace option is rejected due to the Israeli arrogance, then only the war option remains, and no one knows the repercussions befalling the region, including wars and conflict that will spare no one, including those whose military power is now tempting them to play with fire." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16093 Errors of the war on terror
George Soros - Ha'aretz 01.09.06 - "Israel's failure to
subdue Hezbollah demonstrates the many weaknesses of the war-on-terror concept.
One weakness is that even if the targets are terrorists, the victims are often
innocent civilians, and their suffering reinforces the terrorist cause. (...)
What is missing is a U.S. government that is not blinded by the war-on-terror
concept.
[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=757655 On Israeli Human Rights Violations in
the Occupied Palestinian Territory 24-30 August 2006
(Weekly Report )
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - "30 Palestinians, including 3 children, a mentally disabled young man and a woman, were killed by IOF. 3 of the victims were extra-judicially executed by IOF in the West Bank. 52 Palestinian civilians, including 18 children and a woman, were wounded by the IOF gunfire. IOF launched a series of air strikes on a number of houses in the Gaza Strip. IOF conducted 40 incursions into Palestinian communities. IOF arrested 50 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, including 6 children and a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16060 Protest inside the occupation maze
Reported by Adam Keller - Gush Shalom email - In the past two months, the Ofer Prison Camp has become the de-facto new seat of the Palestinian Legislative Council as well as the Palestinian Cabinet. Quite a few of the legislators and ministers were brought here already in the army`s first late-night sweep back in July, among them Sheikh Abu-Tir whose East Jerusalem home hosted a first hopeful effort by Gush Shalom activists to open a peaceful dialogue with the new Palestinian government, and his fellow Palestinian M.P. Atun. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16062 My sister died because there is an
occupation
Elik Elhanan - email message - Text of a speech delivered in Japan by reservist refuser Elik Elhanan, whose sister Smadar was killed in Jerusalem suicide bombing nine years ago http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16005 Twilight Zone / Deadly diaries
Gideon Levy - Haaretz - "Shifa Hospital in Gaza, the fourth floor. Two brothers. Their parents and siblings were all killed while they were sleeping. Only the brothers were saved from the inferno caused by two missiles dropped by a plane on their house in the middle of the night. Awad, 19, is seriously injured; Mohammed, 20, uninjured, tends him. Their parents and all seven of their younger siblings, including a disabled sister, were killed. Just try to imagine." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16058 The Accidental Immigrant
Amira Hass - Counterpunch - "The Israeli authorities that revoked Ju`beh`s residency of his native Jerusalem did not allow reunification with his wife in Ramallah, and finally also decided that even as a tourist, he does not have the right to live in his homeland. " http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16045 Talking to the neighbors: It`s time Israel embraced the
Mideast
Avi Azrieli - International Herald Tribune - "To revive its hopes, Israel must dare to consider a change of paradigm: transform itself into a Middle Eastern country" http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16056 After Lebanon, Israel
Is Looking For More wars Jonathan Cook-Countercurrents.org-"...Saeb Erekat pointed out the obvious: that the seizure of half the cabinet was making it impossible for Fatah, led by President Mahmoud Abbas, to negotiate with Hamas over joining a government of national unity. " http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16077 Last ditch effort
Khaled Amayreh-Al ahram weekly-"Some observers have suggested that Israel may seek (as though it is not doing so enough already) to beat down the Palestinians further as a kind of compensation for the wholesome defeat the Israeli army suffered at the hands of resistance fighters in South Lebanon." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16082
