In Zionist Occupied Palestine

Amira Hass : How a Beit Hanun family was destroyed : The light filtered in through the cloud of dust, and she saw his blanket was covered by fragments of broken glass. She pulled it off and found him shaking. "You weren't hit," she said, urging him to run and join her other children, May, Rami and Fadi, who fled with her downstairs.

Nobel winners petition Israel to outlaw targeted killing : Hundreds of Israeli peace activists, joined by three foreign Nobel laureates, asked the nation's high court to rule against targeted assassinations carried out by the army in the Palestinian territories, saying the attacks were killing civilians.

The Democrats Don't Care: Screw the Palestinians, Full Steam Ahead

Norman Finkelstein: Peace Not Apartheid - Jimmy Carter's Roadmap: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens--and honors its own previous commitments--by accepting its legal borders.

South Africa seen as model for Palestine: The two-state solution remains attractive and comforting in its apparent simplicity and finality. But in reality, it has proved unattainable because neither Palestinians nor Israelis are willing to give up enough of the country that they love.

Army installs a barbed wire fence near Azone Village: Local residents said that the fence looks like it will surround the village, cutting it off completely from the nearby village and Qalqilia City. The village of Azon is already surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements, which were built on lands stolen from the local farmers who are now forced to pass through two checkpoints to reach their lands.

Israel plans to annex lands north of Jerusalem for the Wall: Israeli Authorities plan to annex Palestinians lands in Anata town, north of Jerusalem, for the construction of the Annexation Wall and for “military purposes”. The decision (T -06/84) states that the lands will be annexed for the construction of a wall north of Maali Adumim settlement.

Jerusalem Post: “Rabbis for Human Rights volunteer held”: Theresa McDermont came to Israel to pick olives with Palestinian farmers for one month. Instead, she has been sitting in a detention cell for 12 days at Ben-Gurion airport. McDermont, a Scottish post office worker, said she hoped to be a volunteer for Rabbis for Human Rights, the organization that runs the olive harvest project designed to help Palestinian farmers cultivate land near the Green Line. According to McDermont’s lawyer, Gabi Lasky, there is no reason for her detention and she is being detained under no charges.

Palestinian hospital starts blood donation campaign to aid injured in Beit Hanoun: The campaign is aiming to collect blood to aid the scores of injured residents who are still in the hospitals due to the continuous Israeli invasion of Beit Hanoun. Most of the injuries have resulted from Israeli artillery shelling and gunfire, and many of the injured were inside their homes when they were hit.

Historians won't believe it: You can't just kill 20 innocent civilians in Beit Hanun and say: "Oops, we made a mistake. We're sorry." You can't. At the very least, the prime minister should appeal personally to the victims and the Palestinian people and express regret, offer compensation and request absolution. Anything less is unacceptable. Anything less is inhuman and un-Jewish and inconceivable. Inconceivable? In the land of hollow leadership, anything is possible, anything goes.
