Struggles and strangulation TOI-Billboard,
September 9, 2006 --Introduction *** We are preparing this Billboard in the hours before joining Gush Shalom in an effort to get its message to a much wider audience. Tonight, September 9, there will be a demonstration in Tel-Aviv's Rabin Square for a Judicial Commission of Inquiry on the latest Lebanon War. Apparently big numbers will show up. Gush Shalom decided to go there and distribute leaflets. "Everybody speaks about a Commission of Inquiry, but not everybody thinks of the same. We think that it should be investigated why at all this terrible war was started, a war with a purpose impossible to achieve by force, and why it was continued during more than a month with a heavy price in blood and destruction on the two sides of the border. Meanwhile the air- and sea blockades of Lebanon were lifted, without return of captured soldiers, but the strangulation of the occupied territories, especially the "disengaged" Gaza Strip, remains. *** Here follows TOI's selection of this
week's Occupation Magazine's daily picks

Following a Visit to the Gaza Strip,
PHR-Israel warns: Humanitarian Disaster in the Gaza Strip
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel - Israel -
" The medical staff met patients that do not have treatment in Gaza and are
sentenced to a slow death as they cannot go for treatment in Israel or in
Egypt...A routine of collective punishment and killing of civilians: There were
cases of people who were not critically injured but who died from loss of blood
at the scene of the attack. Moreover, people who tried to help others were
harmed themselves during the evacuation process. There is hunger in Gaza- the
delegation met with women and children in states of malnutrition. Streets and
homes were completely destroyed for no apparent reason. In the hospital morgues
the delegation saw charcoaled and shredded bodies. "

passport holders
Sam Bahour/Ramesh Prakashvelu /Hilary Leila Krieger - IPCRI/Jerusalem Post - In recent months the occupation authorities are denying to Palestinian residents, holders of foreign passports the right to Entry/Re-Entry to the West Bank, including people who had lived there for decades and who have there their homes, spouses, children and in some cases grandchildren. A campaign against this blatant injustice kicked off this week. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16215 Peace Now demo at Gaza entrance
calling for talks
Daniel Ofir-Peace Now website - "The activists wore blue helmets, like that of the UN uniform, in order to send the message that to the Gaza Strip no international force will be coming to save the day and the government has to take it upon itself to end the conflict through negotiations." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16213 Bil`in: another weekend of routine
army violence
Saed Bannoura/ISM Media office/Ilan Shalif - IMEMC/ISM/ANARKISMO -"As the 100-strong march from the mosque reached the edge of the village the army blocked the road and, after announcing on a megaphone that the area was a closed military zone, proceeded to beat with batons those who didn’t withdraw." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16211 One blow to the brain (interview with
12.8 wounded Bil`in protester)
Dalia Karpel - Haaretz - [editor`s comment: The severe wounding of activist Limor Goldstein during the weekly anti-Wall protest in Bil`in, August 12, happened during the last days of the Lebanon war when lives were thrown away to create last moment "accomplished facts". This interview shows how the Lebanon ruthlessness spilled over into the West Bank. A.K.] http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16208 Pedalling from Syria, `Peace
Cyclysts` in trouble at Allenby Bridge
Laura Abraham - http://www.thepeacecycle.org - The cyclists left Damascus 3 days ago and toured the Palestinian refugee camps in the south of Syria before entering Jordan. In both Middle East countries, as in Europe, the group enjoyed courteous treatment and a warm welcome. The climate changed dramatically, however, once they reached the border between Jordan and the Occupied Palestinian West Bank. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16217 Free Dr. Rifqa elJa’abri Women`s Organization for Political Prisoners (WOFPP) Newsletter - "Right
after the first kidnapping in June, all the political prisoners (women and men)
were forbidden family visits. After about six weeks, ...allowed visits, but only
for family members over 45 or under 16 years old. This permission didn`t help
most of the prisoners` families who couldn`t visit the prison anyway, because of
the strict closure imposed on the West Bank and Gaza Strip."

market
B`Tselem report - www.btselem.org -
Naot Hapisga, a settler-owned construction company building on the confiscated
land of Bil`in and other Palestinian villages, tried to raise capital on the
Tel-Aviv stock market, but the B`Tselem`s and Bimkom human rights organizations
found grave "inaccuracies" in the prospectus they published. The settlers
published a second prospectus, but it was not free of error, either...

Shapira
"Yonatan is a former captain in the Israeli Air Force Reserves. In 2003 he
initiated a group of Israeli Air Force pilots to sign a declaration refusing to
participate in aerial attacks on the Palestinian territories."

Israel continues banning Gazans from
studying in West Bank
Amos Harel- Haaretz - "Hundreds of
Palestinian students whom Israel has prevented from continuing studies in West
Bank universities for the past six years have recently petitioned the High Court
of Justice to instruct the state to allow them to complete their studies. The
petition was supported by Israeli professors, who protested the infringement on
the students` freedom to study."
http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16195 The First Post-Zionist
War
Roni Ben Efrat - Challenge - "If there`s a single ray of light from this war, it is that it has sharpened the alternatives before which Israel stands. Unilateral solutions, based on military superiority, are no longer viable. In the end, the country will have to decide on a direction. A peace treaty with Syria and Lebanon will not solve the conflict at its root. The question of questions, on which Israel has stumbled time and again, remains that of the Palestinians." http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16169 Second Madrid Conference -
Now!
Yossi Beilin - Forward - "The fate of the
Middle East, over which recent events in both Gaza and Lebanon cast a foreboding
shadow, is dependent on five weak leaders.
http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16216 Mind the gap
Ghassan Khatib-bitterlemons-The differences
in the two narratives are very deep and serious. They encompass the whole array
of historical, religious, cultural and political facets of the conflict
http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=16158 New Orientalism`s `barbarians` and
`outlaws`
Alastair Crooke - The Daily Star - "Since the
"new barbarians" live outside of civilization, civilized rules no longer apply
to them: if "they" win elections they can still not be part of "us" - office
holders and parliamentarians can be abducted and interned without a murmur;
members of "barbarian" movements can be arrested and taken away for imprisonment
and torture in other countries, and barbarian leaders, whether or not
legitimately elected, can be assassinated at the pleasure of Western
leaders.
