Meron Rapoport,
April 29
"If you expand the settlements, we won't pull
out all the stops against the disengagement."
The Putin mystery Robert Rosenberg's April 28 'Today's Situation' comment So what exactly is Vladimir Putin doing here? Is he
trying to elbow
Russia back into the Middle East as an arms supplier to the Arabs? Trying to impress the Americans before his upcoming summit with Bush? Trying to strike a good deal for Gazprom??™s natural gas? Maybe he??™s trying to impress upon Russian Jews in Israel that they could consider going ???home???™ Maybe he??™s trying to impress Russian Orthodox Christians with his visit to the Holy Sepulcher and the Gethsemane basilica? ~~~
The parable of Putin's visit by Doron
Rosenblum
But wait a minute, we almost forgot the "political
achievements" of the visit: a condemnation of anti-Semitism and a rejection of
the despicable attempt by the guest to propose a peace plan.
Activism update
Salt bullets attack on
demonstration
Gush Shalom on Palestinian-Israeli Bil`in action "All the participants - about 1000 Palestinians and
200 Israelis - undertook in advance to avoid all violence. However, before the
demo could reach the site of the fence, it was savagely attacked by the security
forces, which bombarded it with tear gas bombs without the slightest
provocation."

~~~ Plowing for human rights
From the 28 April Rabbis for Human Rights week report On Monday the RHR delegation and the
Palestinian farmers with whom they were working were attacked by settlers
from Itamar, our group was cursed, pushed and even beaten. We are very fortunate
to report that there were no injuries. Today, before our delegation arrived to
the field, two Palestinian farmers from the village of Rujib, who arrived early
in the morning, were chased away by settlers. It took us a while to find them
and pursuade them to come back and work their land. Despite all of this we have
succeeded in helping quite a few farmers gain access to their fields and
orchards that they were able to reach for years.

on behalf of shackled meningitis patient
At the initiative of IWPS, with follow-up by Gush
Shalom, a frentic international campaign may have relieved a bit the past days
for Jaber Dalany - but it could not be prevented that he was moved from the
hospital into detention in a wheelchair.

One big prison - new report, B'tselem &
Hamoked
An add in the weekend papers:
http://www.themarker.com/ads/2005/NEWenglish/betzelm/300 "For the past four and a half years, Israel has
severely restricted freedom of movement to and from the Gaza Strip. These
restrictions further strangled the Gaza Strip, so much so that the area
resembles one gigantic prison. The report warns against Israel??™s attempt to
avoid its responsibility toward residents of the Gaza Strip following
disengagement."

~~~ Boycott discussion in the media
& other articles
'You brought the boycott upon
yourselves' - Gush Shalom letter to Bar Ilan
This letter filled the airwaves on April 26 Read how Ynet (Yediot Aharonot related website)
reported it:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3077716,00.html ~ Hypocrisy of the liberals - condemnation, but...,
Ha'aretz Editorial April 27
When the State of Israel denies Arab students and
their families freedom of movement to the universities where they are students,
and the even more basic right to earn a dignified livelihood free of the
occupation, when the separation fence in Jerusalem is going up on the campus of
Al Quds University, it is difficult to argue that Israel adheres to the basic
values that it rightfully demands the British university lecturers
uphold.
It's Not the Boycott, Stupid, It's the Occupation,
Dr. Uri Ram
'Engage' - Palestinian state - yes, but Israel not
illegitimate
As a result of the AUT decision to boycott Bar Ilan
and Haifa universities a new group was formed in Britain: people, who are
themselves opponents of the occupation, worried that the selective boycott is
but the beginning of a campaign against the existence of Israel. They
organized themselves in 'Engage' and.. their newly-started website also includes
the refusers' banner
"You are a racist lecturer" - "You are
a subversive Arab"
In the name of truth -- By Meron
Rapoport
And now for the next intifada, Akiva
Eldar
part 1: And now for
the next intifada
part 2: An Israeli hand in the chaos part 3: Hilltop threat [specially recommended - TOI-eds] Averting another disaster, Alex
Fishman
"If the state does not have sufficient funds to
train reservists properly, it should not call them up for service and refrain
from sending them to the West Bank and Gaza."
This criticism by the mainstream Yediot
Aharonot military commentator may apply to more than the chances of soldiers
getting killed by 'friendly fire'.
Jailed for 17 years with no `blood on his hands,'
no luck, Amira Hass
The Supreme Court recognized the severity of the
sentence in its response
to a petition in January 2000 (...) against the refusal of the chief of staff to reduce his 27-year sentence [but the] justices rejected the petition. -----------------------------------------------
