Another bloodbath, another protest, and that's not all... TOI-Billboard, June 19, 2006 The Other Israel's email updates While the debate about the Gaza beach
massacre goes on, we will not give more on this than some rather exceptional
articles in the Israeli press. But first, we have to ask your attention
for some of the other problems which refuse to go away, and - yes
also - some rare constructive views.
[Action
news]
Another bloodbath, another
protest
At noon last Tuesday (June 12) news came of the killing of eleven Palestinians, eight of them civilians, in the bombing of Gaza. Quick mobilization brought nearly 200 activists to the Defence Ministry gates Report and video http://www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/Another.htm

The demonstrations of June 10 and June 13 still
reverberated throughout the week, two examples.

by judge Bedouin activist Nori El-Okbi is now entering the third month of his struggle aimed at getting a (very partial) measure of justice for his dispossessed Negev Bedouin tribe. Following is the text of a press release we got from the Association for Bedouin Rights some days ago, fairly typical of the kind of repression Nori has to face but also of the support he gets and the minor successes occasionally achieved.

The reality of the heavy toll that the Palestinians have paid in the past week has hit home and the conclusions and lessons learned should point in the direction of the possibility of reaching a longer-term bilateral ceasefire.

The issue is not whether Hamas recognises Israel Henry Siegman, June 8 2006, Financial Times What hope there may still be for avoiding a complete meltdown in the Palestinian occupied territories, not to speak of the hope of ever achieving a two-state solution, lies not with the initiative by Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, to put the two-state formula to a popular referendum but with the ruling Hamas movement's refusal to play by Israel's old rules. Those rules have in effect eliminated the prospect of viable Palestinian statehood and were intended to achieve that end. (...) http://www.cfr.org/publication/10870/

Blood on the wings Yehonathan Gefen, Ma'ariv, June
15 (...) Who in the enlightened West really cares? certainly not Bush and Blair. "We don't count bodies" said general Tommy Franks, commander of the American force which came as the Iraqi people's liberators and benefactors. And we are going the same way. -- Is there anybody up there - somebody above the missiles, above the explosions and the killings of innocents - who can put an end to these pinpoint preventions and little massacres of little bodies? http://www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/Gefen.htm The corrections Doron Rosenblum, Haaretz, 15 June 2006 So in any event the solution, as far as we are concerned, is, as usual, escalation? -- "Seeking calm, we have no other choice. That was exactly what a military commentator on TV had in mind a couple of months back, when he said - naturally, in the name of the IDF - that Israel was planning to launch thousands of shells and was deliberately escalating the situation 'with the goal of snapping Hamas out of its indifference, and every response by them will be for the good.' Get it? If Hamas doesn't respond, we will say that we won from the point of view of deterrence. And if it responds with terrorism, its true murderous face will be exposed - not the once that offers hudnas- chmudnas, not the one that wears suits and ties and offers four years of quiet."http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=727403
