This week
A hectic week with at least
three protests per day - commemorating the occupation's 38th anniversary on
different occasions, protesting the appointment of the new/old Halutz as
Chief-of-Staff. And the struggle in the West Bank villages intensifies: in
Bil'in the actions become more and more drastic, this week with the
widely-published pictures of farmers and activists not just lying down before
the bulldozers but in an ingenuous and dramatic way riveted to the earth.
Meanwhile actions in Beit Surik were renewed and in the Ariel area (Marda,
Kif-el-Hares and Salfit) are also warming up as the government bulldozers
open up ever new fronts.
Still the main campaign where
concerted worldwide campaigning could have some immediate results is Silwan, the
Jerusalem neighhborhood where the authorities plan the biggest mass house
demolition campaign since 1967 ("let's do that while the world looks at the Gaza
pull-out"): 80 houses, to make place for an archeological park, they say, but
don't be surprised to see there a new Jewish "neighborhood".
Activism - some reports
The Process of Ethnic Cleansing
Continues
The
Jerusalem Municipality Plans to Demolish 88 Houses in Silwan, East
Jerusalem
All this
is part of an explicit process of ???Judaizing??? Jerusalem, says Meir Margalit, a
former Jerusalem City Councilman and a member of the Israeli Committee Against
House Demolitions. "Look at the larger picture,??? he says. ???Put the settlement
actions in Silwan together with the ongoing demolition of Arab houses in East
Jerusalem. Put it together with the building of the wall through Abu Dis. "All
these features together paint a very dramatic picture where the Israeli
government, together with the settlers, are part of a national program to make
the life of Palestinians so hard they will leave Jerusalem. It is that simple."
[Meir Margalit also organized this week tours for
journalists to the threatened Silwan houses]
Breaking through
at Marda
written specially for TOI by Adam
Keller
"Where are you going?" asked the
soldier at the checkpoint in the West Bank entrance. "To Ariel" said Teddy Katz
who sat behind the driver of the mini-bus, and we were waved through. Indeed,
this highway was made mainly in order to serve the rapidly growing settlement of
Ariel, twenty three kilometres deep into the West Bank.
But a short distance before the
settlement there was another road-block, where the captain was much more
suspicious. "To Ariel? Who in Ariel?" "To the Judea and Samaria College. You
know, the one which is to become a university. We have a meeting with the
students there. They are waiting for us." Blood On Your
Wings!

Eytan
Bronstein on the relationship of Jews in
Israel to the Palestinian refugees
[AJewish woman], a teacher, who lives in an Arab house in
a village that has been reinhabited by Jews after the Nakba (...) showed
interest in the possibility of a meeting between her Jewish neighbors and the
Palestinian exiles from the village in which she lives (...). After
correspondence and discussions between us about the possibility of setting up
such a meeting in order to discuss the meaning of the events of 1948, she wrote
me the following brief note: `I came with my students to visit his village.
Afterwards, he came to speak to them at school. It is strange how close we
have become. He is no longer a threat to me.
Shards of memory
By Gideon Levy June 02, 2005
This is the most Arab-free area in Israel. It was the scene of total ethnic cleansing, which left not a vestige apart from the heaps of ruins and the sabra bushes. On the coastal plain, between Jaffa and Gaza, not one Palestinian village remains intact. Now the settlers of the Gush Katif bloc from the Gaza Strip are to be brought here. In a bitterly ironic jest of fate, the settlers who sowed ruin and destruction in the Gaza Strip will now live on the ruins of the homes of the residents who were their invisible neighbors in the refugee camps.
