Israeli warplanes Tuesday carried out several airstrikes targeting northern Gaza Strip and a smuggling tunnel in Rafah city. No injuries were reported.
According to local sources, Israeli warplanes type "F16″bombarded a site in Beit Lahya town, northern Gaza Strip, and a smuggling tunnel in Rafah city inflicting great financial looses.
Israeli airstrikes caused a state of panic among civilians who were asleep on that time.
Meanwhile, Israeli gunboats opened fire at Palestinian fishermen off Rafah shore forcing them to leave the sea.
Israeli army said that one Israeli woman was injured yesterday after Palestinian militants fired a rocket on the city of Ashkelon.
MKs, cabinet ministers call on Netanyahu to consider all possible options to solve housing crisis, including settling of 'tens of thousands of citizens in Judea and Samaria, as well as Jerusalem'.
Forty-two cabinet ministers and MKs, all members of the Eretz Yisrael Lobby, signed a petition addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, calling on him to solve the housing crisis that has swept up the country by building in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The signatories including Moshe Kahlon, Mickey Eitan, Yossi Peled and Yuli Edelstein from Likud, Habayit Hayehudi leader Daniel Hershkowitz, and the head of the lobby, MK Zeev Elkin (Likud) and Aryeh Eldad (National Unity). Five Kadima members, Yoel Hasson, Ronit Tirosh, Yulia Shmuelov-Berkowitz and Otniel Schneller, signed as well.
The letter was presented at a special gathering at the Knesset for the Eretz Yisrael Lobby in honor of both the end of the Knesset session as well as the release of the book, "The settlements; the real story", which documents the lobby's narrative about the settlements in the West Bank in both text and pictures.
For his own safety we are not identifying him. He is terrified that the Syrian regime will detain, torture, or even kill him. Still he persists and says it's worth the risk. Its even worth the risk of talking to CNN he insists, because he believes the world needs to know.
He is the founder of an underground illegal network of medics, who call themselves the "Damascus Doctors". They established a Facebook page, their intent not only to save lives, but also the doctor says, to expose the regime's crimes.
They set up secret, hidden clinics in neighborhoods where demonstrations take place, constantly changing the specific location. Even he, beforehand, doesn't know where the clinic will be that day. They cannot afford to be compromised.
The network, the doctor says, is made up of around 60 medical professionals, with different roles. Some provide on-the-ground care, others help to provide instruments and medicines, some have private clinics that the wounded are at times taken to, when it's deemed to be safe.
"People refuse to go to government hospitals because they will be arrested and if they die we cannot take their body." He explains. Families, he claims can only collect the body of their loved ones after signing a document saying they were killed by armed gangs.
The Syrian government has consistently maintained that it does not target peaceful demonstrations, blaming the violence on armed gangs who infiltrated the demonstrators, with the intent to set up an Al Qaeda style Islamic caliphate in Syria.
At the Damascus general hospital we spoke with Dr. Adib Mahmoud, the director, who said that the demonstrators' fears are unfounded.
"We accept all cases without regard as to how the injuries were sustained or where it happened" He said.
And he insisted that the claim that family members had to sign false documents was baseless.
At the hospital we met a man who said he was shot in the leg when he accidentally stumbled into an anti-government demonstration — he doesn't know by who. He was initially treated at one of these secret clinics, but the wound didn't heal.
Still many are unwilling to take the risk, pointing to other cases where they claim anti-government demonstrators were prevented from having treatment, kept cuffed to beds, beaten, detained, or simply disappeared.
And so they turn to the doctors' clandestine network of medics for help and the field hospitals at various locations disseminated by word of mouth through the community.
We initially met the doctor at an anti-government demonstration after we broke away from our official escorts. He took us to the "field clinic" they set up that day, nothing more than a tiny room. Their supplies, rudimentary at best — a single oxygen tank, bandages, scalpels, needles and other basic equipment.
Many people have bled before his eyes he claims, including children. He was helpless to save them.
I met up with the doctor again a few days later, in secret, after careful coordination and planning to avoid being tailed.
He wanted me to see some of the patients treated by his network frustrated and angered, he said, by the government's statement that anti-government demonstrators would face no repercussions if they went to government hospitals.
I met a man shot in the thigh who said he would rather lose his leg than risk going to a government hospital, a teenager with angry and crude stitches across his back, the gash sustained he said when security forces dragged him over glass.
And I met a seventeen year old boy, a patient of the doctors.
Initially the doctor didn't think there was any nerve damage, but then he realized that the blood has collected next to the spinal cord, causing partial paralysis.
The boy is now in a wheelchair, tubes that allow him to urinate snake out of his waistband and into a plastic bag tucked next to him.
His father had sent him to run some errands one day and his son ended up accidentally in the middle of a demonstration and was shot.
His mother cries softly as we speak.
The doctor says he has witnessed a lot of blood, a lot of pain, but also a lot of hope.
Later he writes to me: "In the name of humanity, let people know that we are suffering for our freedom".
RAMALLAH (Ma'an) — The Palestinian Authority on Sunday warned that Israel's attacks on Palestinian children were escalating at "an alarming rate" and urged the UN to step in.
Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed nine children so far in 2011, and almost 200 children have been injured by settler violence and the Israeli military, a statement by the Government Media Center said.
"Hundreds of children are being illegally rounded up monthly by Israeli forces and detained, abused, and imprisoned without due process of law and in direct violation of international, Israeli, and Palestinian laws," the PA added.
The statement referred to a recent event caught on camera in which young Palestinians were kidnapped by masked, armed Israeli forces while playing football.
One of the children in a video, 13-year-old Islam Jaber, was taken to a graveyard and beaten up, the PA said, adding that he suffered severe anxiety attacks since the incident.
The PA said Israel attempted to bypass humanitarian law by applying "military orders" against Palestinians. The government urged the UN to implement resolution 1998 which protects the right of children in conflict.
UNITED NATIONS (IPS) – When the United Nations General Assembly established a three member special committee to investigate Israeli human rights violations back in December 1968, Israel reacted with obvious anger.
And not surprisingly, the committee was barred from entering any of the territories occupied by Israel — forcing the three members to hold sittings in Cairo, Amman and Damascus where Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza were given a hearing twice a year.
But geopolitics in the region has changed the political climate — much to the chagrin of the Israelis.
For the first time in 43 years, members of the UN Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices in Occupied Territories gained entry into Gaza in July, through Egypt which ousted its Israeli-friendly president Hosni Mubarak following massive public protests earlier this year.
The Egyptian authorities facilitated the visit via the crossing at Rafah, bypassing the longstanding Israeli ban.
The visit further reinforced the continued criticism by the committee of the horrible living conditions in the West Bank and Gaza and the devastating impact of the Israeli economic blockade, as chronicled in several of the committee's previous reports.
"Unfortunately, what we found [in Gaza] was that the oppressive restrictions imposed on Gaza by Israel have the effect of collectively punishing the population," it said.
With around 35 percent of Gaza's land area excluded from agriculture due to Israel's vague buffer zone along its boundary line with Gaza and its fishing areas limited to only three nautical miles from the coast, the people of Gaza could hardly feed themselves, much less revive a decimated economy through exports, the committee said.
"We were alarmed by allegations that Israel enforces these policies employing live fire, including in some instances against children and the elderly," said the committee.
The committee — comprising Palitha TB Kohona, ambassador of Sri Lanka to the UN; Hussein Haniff, ambassador of Malaysia; and Fod Seck, ambassador of Senegal to the UN based in Geneva — is expected to submit a more comprehensive report to the 193-member General Assembly in September.
"The economic, educational, psychological, health and social conditions are affected by the blockade," he asserted.
The lifting of the blockade will have an immediate and positive impact on the people of Gaza, both economically and psychologically, and will contribute to confidence building, he added.
Israel's continuing blockade of Gaza contravened the human rights of the people of Gaza and international humanitarian law and standards, said Kohona, a former chief of the UN Treaty Section.
"It is oppressive and diminishes the lives of the people of Gaza and must be ended now," he declared.
In its report, the committee said it listened to victims, witnesses and UN officials who underlined the dire impact on human rights of the Israeli blockade.
Homes, schools and other infrastructure that were destroyed by Israeli attacks in December 2008 and January 2009 could not be rebuilt due to restrictions on importing building material.
The economy declined significantly and has been sustained by imports through tunnels.
"It would be the occupying power's responsibility to assist with the reconstruction of Gaza," noted the committee.
Beyond the homes, schools and businesses that were destroyed, there is an urgent need for water treatment facilities, roads, sewage treatment and the restoration of power, it said.
For many of Gaza's children, life was difficult and the future hopeless, the committee pointed out, referring to testimony concerning worrying health, psychological and social problems, increasing school dropout rates, and an increasing incidence of child labor.
"We hope the government of Israel will seriously consider the potential consequences of a generation of Gazan children being raised in an environment of near-total deprivation and a lack of opportunities to lead a productive and hopeful life," it said.
The practices of the government of Israel which violate the rights of Palestinian children was a constant theme throughout the hearings in Gaza.
Witnesses and officials reported that Palestinian children's access to education is being impeded through, among other things, restrictions on freedom of movement, constraints on access due to Israel's wall in the West Bank, a lack of schools especially in East Jerusalem and Gaza, and threats and actual violence by Israeli settlers.
The committee said its attention was drawn to the large number of children held in detention, and cited a range of practices of serious concern, including harsh interrogation techniques, torture and expulsion from their villages.
The committee also underlined its deep concern regarding reports that Israeli security forces were raiding Palestinian homes in the middle of the night to detain children, allegedly as young as seven years old.
The committee's nine-day investigative visit to the region also included hearings in the Jordanian capital Amman, where it met victims, witnesses and officials working on human rights in the West Bank and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
Geert Wilders doodzwijgen tot dat hij in debat gaat met feiten!!!
Het basisprobleem rond de plannen van de heer Wilders zit hem in zijn weigering het debat aan te gaan. Hij zegt niet 'Moslims het land uit' om vervolgens het gesprek met ons aan te gaan, hij zegt 'Moslims het land uit' en rent hard weg. Zoals jongetjes besjes schieten en zich verstoppen, neemt Wilders geen verantwoordelijkheid voor zijn uitspraken.
Dat is onacceptabel. Je kunt niemand dwingen zijn verantwoordelijkheid te nemen, maar je kunt die verantwoordelijkheid zelf wel nemen. Als iemand het debat niet aangaat, waarom zou je dan over hem debatteren?
Bij deze zouden de hoofdredacties van Landelijke Dagbladen, actualiteitenprogramma's en alle opiniebladen en andere mediaredacties willen oproepen geen woord meer over Wilders te schrijven.
Wij hopen op een gezamenlijke verklaring niets meer over Wilders te publiceren tot hij het debat aangaat. En geen seconde eerder. Waarom laten we een man die zwijgt alle voorpagina's bepalen? Stop ermee!Als hij niet wil debatteren geef hem dan geen podium.To hold a pen is to be at war. Voltaire.
Today – the first day of Ramadan – we heard that Egyptian tanks rolling on Tahrir Square again, in Hama (Syria) also tanks and people murdered and injured, in Libye 30 rebels murdered and 130 injured.
This is not what we think when we are talking about the holy month of Ramadan or about Islam. Islam means peace, no murdering or fighting.
I ask the leaders of this countries, please don't murdering your own brothers and sisters. The Qur'an has said if the people don't trust you anymore, please step down.
AMMAN Aug 1 (Reuters) – Syrian tanks shelled residential neighbourhoods all over Hama on Monday in the heaviest barrage of a two-day attack on the city to crush street demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad, witnesses said.
Intense shelling began after Ramadan evening prayers, concentrating on districts near the al-Bilal roundabout in the northwest of the city, the Jarajmeh district in the east and northern neighborhoods near the Omar bin al-Khattab mosque, they said.
"The shells are falling once every ten seconds," one of the witnesses told Reuters by phone, and the thump of artillery and explosions could be heard in the background.
The March 15 Youth Movement, whose name comes from demonstrations held in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that day to demand unity between Fatah and Hamas, is the most direct Palestinian expression of the "Arab awakening" of 2010-2011. The next day, March 16, Fatah's leader, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud 'Abbas, announced his willingness to travel to Gaza to conduct unity talks with Hamas. A reconciliation agreement was signed in Cairo on May 4.
Implementation of the Hamas-Fatah accord has been stalled because 'Abbas insists on retaining Salam Fayyad as prime minister of the PA. Hamas regards Fayyad as too subservient to Israel and the West. It particularly resents his cooperation with the United States in creating the new National Security Forces, popularly known as the "Dayton Brigades" after their first trainer, Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton of the US Army. A major task of these units has been to suppress Hamas in the West Bank, and it has done so to Israel's satisfaction.
'Abbas believes that Fayyad's international credibility, derived from his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Texas, professional experience at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the International Monetary Fund, and success in constructing an IMF- and World Bank-approved economy in the West Bank since 2007 enhance the viability of his plan to request admission of Palestine as a UN member state in September. He has effectively embraced Fayyad's strategy of establishing a de facto Palestinian state by building institutions that promote security, good governance and a free-market economy. While Fayyad himself is less enthusiastic than 'Abbas about seeking UN membership, his strategy for state building is a logical precursor to it.
The state of Palestine that will seek UN membership does not exercise sovereignty over the territory it claims — East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip — or control over this territory's borders, the armistice lines (the Green Line) in force from 1949 until June 4, 1967. Nonetheless, it does fulfill many of the requirements of statehood as laid out in the 1933 Montevideo Convention. It has a permanent population; a defined territory within the Green Line; and a government in the form of the PA, although the PA is in most important respects subordinate to Israel. Seeking UN membership is an expression of 'Abbas' exasperation with the US-sponsored "peace process." If the US had not lost all credibility as a peace broker and simultaneously discredited the very notion of a "peace process," 'Abbas would have felt no need to seek UN membership.
The "Palestine Papers" published by the pan-Arab satellite channel Al Jazeera in early January confirm that, under US pressure, PA negotiators offered concessions to the government of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert well beyond the Palestinian national consensus. Nonetheless, these offers were insufficient to reach an agreement. Thus, in addition to feeling Palestinian and regional Arab pressures, 'Abbas sought reconciliation with Hamas because he could not achieve a negotiated peace deal with Israel on terms any Palestinian would accept.
The Arab awakening has made no difference whatsoever in the unrestrained support the US gives Israel, even when Israel's positions do not agree with publicly declared US positions. President Barack Obama demonstrated a perplexing incapacity to induce Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abide by the unambiguously declared US policy that Israel should freeze settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a means of restarting negotiations. In February 2011 the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories written precisely to reflect US policy. This occasion was the fortieth since the June 1967 war on which the United States cast the sole negative vote on a Security Council resolution critical of Israel, thus protecting its ally from international censure.
By vetoing a resolution whose substance it claimed to agree with, the Obama administration revealed that, like its predecessors, it is far more interested in asserting its hegemony over the Israeli-Palestinian arena than achieving peace, a strategy invented by ex-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger following the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Whatever the outcome of a vote on Palestinian UN membership, it will not halt the escalating pace of Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem, especially in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, and elsewhere in the West Bank. Nor will it halt the destruction of the Muslim cemetery in West Jerusalem where what is called a "Center for Human Dignity/Museum of Tolerance" is being constructed on top of graves, some of which date to the eleventh century. It will not protect Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills from the continuing rampages of violent settlers. It will not restore West Bank lands confiscated to construct the separation barrier/apartheid wall/security fence or the rest of the lands in the West Bank Israel has confiscated from Palestinians to construct illegal settlements or military bases. And it will not give Palestinians control of their underground water resources so that they might enjoy a minimally adequate daily water supply. It will have little or no impact on the lives of ordinary Palestinian people or on Israel's continuing massive violations of their national and human rights.
Despite the deadlock over its implementation, brokering a nominally successful Fatah-Hamas reconciliation agreement is one of several signs of Egypt's modest, but significant, foreign policy reorientation since the ouster of the former president, Husni Mubarak. The Mubarak regime was the strongest Arab supporter of 'Abbas and his Fatah party. As the "Palestine Papers" revealed, its former military intelligence commander and torturer-in-chief, 'Umar Sulayman, was not, as he claimed, an honest broker in Fatah-Hamas talks. He collaborated with Israel in trying to weaken and isolate Hamas.
Under the Mubarak regime, Egypt also aided Israel and the West in enforcing a tight economic and diplomatic embargo on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, sealing shut the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt since 2007. After the fall of Mubarak, Egypt has opened Rafah, though fitfully and with restrictions that will confine many Gazans to their open-air prison indefinitely.
In February, for the first time since 1979, two Iranian warships sailed through the Suez Canal. Israel's angry reaction was consistent with its campaign to incite global anti-Iranian hysteria. In April Egypt announced its willingness to renew diplomatic relations with Iran. These symbolic measures subtly shift the regional balance of forces, deeply distressing Israel's über-right wing government.
Al Jazeera's role in publicizing the "Palestine Papers" highlights the Arab awakening's reassertion of a pan-Arab dimension to Middle East politics. The new pan-Arabism is rooted in historical and contemporary cultural realities, the most important of which is the wider dissemination of a common standard Arabic language (fusha). The shared vocabulary allows Al Jazeera and its fellow pan-Arab satellite TV stations to bring news of widely hated Israeli and US policies in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan into tens of millions of Arab homes. Satellite TV also conveys the message of the "new preachers" of Sunni Islam, the most popular of whom is the largely apolitical Egyptian 'Amr Khalid. It gives a regional platform to the charismatic leader of Lebanon's Hizballah, Hasan Nasrallah. Hence, the new pan-Arabism is not politically unified, nor does it seek to be. It eschews the inflated rhetoric of the 1950s and 1960s.
The March 15 Youth Movement and several West Bank popular committees called for a march on the Qalandiya checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah on May 15, the anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel or, in Arab parlance, the nakba. As some 1,000 demonstrators neared the checkpoint, Israeli soldiers fired massive volleys of tear gas. About 100 were incapacitated by tear gas inhalation and or injured by rubber-coated metal bullets. Nakba Day demonstrations were also held in East Jerusalem, Hebron and al-Wallaja, a village on the southern fringe of Jerusalem whose lands (but not its people) are in the process of being annexed to Israel.
The Israeli army was surprised by Nakba Day demonstrations of Palestinians attempting to cross the border to "return" from the Gaza Strip, Syria and Lebanon. Its response was, therefore, disorganized and brutal. At least 15 people were shot dead. Egypt's ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces prevented demonstrators from reaching the Rafah crossing, an indication that Egypt's foreign policy reorientation will stop short of any direct confrontation with Israel.
Unarmed Palestinian demonstrations organized by village-based popular committees with the participation of many hundreds of mainly young Israelis are not a result of the Arab awakening, though they have been emboldened by it. Popular struggle involving Palestinian men and women of all ages, as opposed to armed struggle, has been the principal strategy of the campaign against the separation barrier Israel has built, 85 percent of it inside the Green Line, since June 2002. In 2004 the International Court of Justice ruled, "The construction of the wall and its associated régime [land confiscations, settlements] are contrary to international law." Israel has returned some of the land confiscated from Budrus, Bil'in and several villages west of Jerusalem. But the barrier, though still unfinished, stands.
On July 15, 2,500 Israelis and Palestinians marched in Jerusalem to support the campaign for Palestinian UN membership. The spirited demonstration was the largest in Jerusalem in some time. Participants and organizers considered it a success.
The march was held entirely in East Jerusalem, proceeding from the Jaffa Gate of the Old City to the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah up the hill. The route and the organizers' ban on Israeli flags, which the Zionist "peace camp" traditionally displays to emphasize their patriotic credentials, gave the occasion an Arab flavor. But 85-90 percent of the participants were Israeli Jews and internationals, while no more than 10-15 percent were Palestinians — residents of the East Jerusalem neighborhoods of Silwan, 'Isawiyya and Sheikh Jarrah, as well as Palestinian citizens of Israel from Jaffa, Ramla, Tayba and elsewhere. The march was jointly organized by Palestinian popular committees and Jerusalem neighborhood groups, as well as Solidarity, a relatively new organization that emerged from the struggle of Palestinians, Israelis and internationals to prevent Jewish settlers from evicting Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah in 2009.
In cooperation with the Jordanian government and the UN, 28 Palestinian families gave up their refugee status in exchange for homes in Sheikh Jarrah. After Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, Israeli courts sustained the claims of Jewish organizations that their nineteenth-century Ottoman deeds of questionable authenticity established their ownership of the houses. Israeli laws prevent Palestinians from asserting ownership of their former properties in Israel, even if they have valid deeds. Solidarity has grown beyond its initial focus on Sheikh Jarrah in Arab East Jerusalem and has developed close ties with neighborhood committees in Silwan, Abu Dis and 'Isawiyya.
In addition to inspiring the emergence of the Palestinian March 15 movement, the Arab awakening buoyed the expansion of Solidarity's work with Palestinian citizens of Israel. In June, Solidarity members spent 23 days in a round-the-clock vigil to protect the home of Jihan and Mahmoud al-'Aju in Ramla. The District Court reversed its previous ruling and ordered that the eviction order be suspended as its implementation might cause irreversible damage to the family.
Solidarity members look forward to continuing joint popular Palestinian-Israeli action parallel to the PA's request for UN membership. The road ahead is full of pitfalls, however. On July 20, Marwan Barghouti, the Palestinian leader with the most legitimacy and popularity, called from Israeli jail for peaceful demonstrations to support the UN bid. One day later, the prison authorities placed him in solitary confinement. The Popular Committees Against the Wall and Settlements in Palestine, in which the highly successful popular committee of Bil'in is the main force, have also supported seeking UN membership. But a rival organization of popular committees which held its first conference in Bayt 'Ummar, Ni'lin and Budrus on July 15-17 has, so far, not made a statement on this matter. Many Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in the diaspora reject the plan to request UN membership because it limits Palestinian aspirations to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, it does not address the question of Palestinian refugees and it excludes diaspora voices from Palestinian political decision-making. This legitimate Palestinian debate over strategy will make further collaboration between Solidarity and Palestinian forces around this issue a very delicate matter.
The 2011 Arab awakening has had a surprising, if indirect, impact on Israeli politics. On July 14 dozens of young Israelis set up tents along Rothschild Boulevard, the most trendy street in central Tel Aviv, to protest the high cost of housing. Prices are up more than 20 percent compared to the summer of 2010. Even a small flat in Tel Aviv is far beyond the reach of most young people.
The housing bubble, which has been years in the making, has inflated alongside sharp rises in the price of gasoline, cottage cheese and milk earlier in the year. The cost of living is exorbitant in most of greater Tel Aviv. Public transportation is inadequate, expensive and irregular, making living in distant suburbs, the European solution to this problem, unviable.
The tent city on Rothschild Boulevard fired the imaginations of young Israelis. Within days there were similar actions in over half a dozen cities from Kiryat Shimona in the north to Beersheva in the south. On July 23 tens of thousands participated in a highly militant torch-lit march in Tel Aviv. Some 150,000 people demonstrated throughout Israel on July 30.
This fair housing movement is the largest mobilization of social protest in Israel in many years. Its main slogans have been "decent housing, reasonable prices," "power to the citizen," "this generation demands housing" and "social justice," this last demand a prominent call raised in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Many demonstrators have called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign, again, a demand similar to the one raised by Arab demonstrators throughout 2011. During the first week of the protest one Rothschild Boulevard demonstrator interviewed on Israeli radio's Channel 2 told a reporter, "We have to do what they did in Egypt. Yalla, tahrir, jihad." The fact that a middle-class Israeli suggested, even if it was only rhetorical excess, that this Israeli movement had anything to learn from an Arab political phenomenon is astonishing and unprecedented, to say nothing of the use of the hyper-provocative word jihad.
The great majority of the protesters have insistently avoided linking the lack of investment in affordable housing to the vast sums invested to construct government-subsidized housing in Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, build the infrastructure to support the settlements and sustain the military apparatus to defend them. A provocative article by Yediot Aharonot's economics correspondent Gidion Eshet, published on July 28, suggested that the subsidized apartments the protesters are seeking are in the West Bank and that ending Israel's settlement policy would free capital for construction of affordable housing in Israel.
Tahrir Square has been occupied since July 8 and Rothschild Boulevard since July 14. The demonstrators in both cities share something in common, though it is normally obscured by the Arab-Israeli conflict. In Egypt, as in Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan, the Arab awakening is in part a rebellion against the neoliberal development model, even if it is rarely named. The housing crisis in Israel is similarly a symptom of neoliberal policies, in particular the reduction of the interest rate from 4 percent in August 2008 to 0.5 percent in April-August 2009 in response to the economic recession brought on by the 2008 global financial crash. Eschewing regulation and slashing interest rates to encourage investment — typical neoliberal policies — produced a speculative bubble instead.
All Israeli governments since 1985, the Mubarak regime since 1991 and the Palestinian Authority since 2007 have adopted neoliberal economic policies promoted by the US government, the IMF and the World Bank. Egypt and Israel are considered success stories by neoliberal criteria. Their economies, as well as that of the West Bank, have expanded considerably since the mid-2000s.
But growth has not substantially diminished the poverty rates of 20 percent in Egypt and 25 percent in Palestine (18.3 percent in the West Bank and 38 percent in the Gaza Strip) or moderated the widening gap between the richest and the poorest. Poverty in Egypt and Palestine are not new stories. It is less well known that in Israel over one third of the labor force earns the minimum wage of 4,100 shekels (about $1,205) per month and that nearly one quarter of the population (mostly Arab citizens and ultra-Orthodox Jews) lives below the poverty line. Forty percent of the poor are employed.
As in the United States, the capital of neoliberalism, wealth is highly concentrated in a few hands in Egypt, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. One useful measure of wealth distribution is the Gini index using a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 representing absolute equality and 100 representing absolute inequality. According to the most recent CIA statistics, the Gini index is 45.2 in the US, 39.2 in Israel and 34.4 in Egypt. (By contrast, the social democracy in Sweden boasts a Gini coefficient of 23.) The ratio of the average income of the richest 10 percent to the poorest 10 percent was 15.9 in the US, 13.4 in Israel and 8 in Egypt. Statistics since the adoption of PA Prime Minister Fayyad's 2009 neoliberal strategy for Palestinian statehood are not available. But Ramallah unabashedly displays a concentration of luxury capital investment unmatched anywhere else in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Egypt is less unequal than the IMF's other "stars" of the Arab world — Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco. The US and Israel are among the most unequal developed capitalist economies.
The common sources of their economic plight will unfortunately not draw the peoples of Israel, Egypt and Palestine together. Most Egyptians reject the notion that they have anything in common with Israelis. The great majority of the Israelis demanding affordable housing, even if they may understand the connection, are reluctant to articulate that their economic distress is exacerbated by the cost of the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Israel's military budget for fear that this stance would discredit them politically. Consequently, it may take a long time before a significant number of Israelis are convinced or compelled to abandon their colonial settlement project and share the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea with Palestinians on the basis of equality. Palestinians, especially Arab citizens who comprise 20 percent of Israel's population, are more likely to realize that their future is linked to that of Israeli Jews, whatever political form it may take.
For Mahmoud 'Abbas at least, the bid for Palestinian UN membership is based in large measure on Prime Minister Fayyad's successful management of a highly constrained and territorially circumscribed neoliberal economic revival. This project has some popular support, especially in the northern West Bank, because it has improved security and infrastructure and provided jobs, though disproportionately in the security forces. According to a public opinion poll conducted by telephone in April-May 2010, 82 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip believed that Fayyad's policies "served the Palestinian interest" and 72 percent thought he "would be capable to be the next president." Fifty-four percent, however, did not believe that his plan for statehood through economic development would succeed.
Israel's relentless settlement expansion has always been and remains the main obstacle to Palestinian statehood. Today, it has all but destroyed the possibility of a two-state solution to the conflict, and there are no prospects for a more conciliatory Israeli government in the foreseeable future.
Al-Nabi Salih, a village about 18 miles northwest of Ramallah, is representative of the current phase of the settlement project. Every Friday since December 2009, the popular committee of al-Nabi Salih has organized demonstrations to resist the expansion, unauthorized even by Israeli authorities, of the Halamish settlement. The demonstrations began after settlers expropriated a natural spring on al-Nabi Salih land. Several weeks later, Halamish settlers burned down 150 of al-Nabi Salih's olive trees near the spring.
The separation barrier does not pass near al-Nabi Salih, so it is not an immediate issue. The popular committee's demonstrations thus directly target the occupation and the settlement project. Consequently, according to a retired Palestinian security officer living in the village who formerly coordinated regularly with his Israeli counterparts, Israeli military authorities consider them a serious problem that must be repressed. Every Friday the Israeli army besieges the village, turning it into a free-fire zone for tear gas canisters, stun grenades, skunk bombs and rubber-coated metal bullets. Over 120 villagers have been hospitalized with serious injuries since the demonstrations began.
Students at Birzeit University and youth from Ramallah, including supporters of the March 15 movement, often attend the demonstrations at al-Nabi Salih. At the July 22 demonstration, several asserted that the PA's bid for UN membership had little significance, whether or not it succeeded. One Palestinian student at an excellent US college who was spending the summer break at home emphatically insisted, "It's the last gasp of the illegitimate PA." While acknowledging that the March 15 movement does not have an alternative strategy, she believes that Palestinians draw strength from the Arab awakening. "We feel that now we have a back," she said.
Volgens een artikel in de Jerusalem Post wil de Nederlandse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Uri Rosenthal ingrijpen bij organisaties wier beleid indruist tegen dat van de overheid.
Op aangeven van het CIDI dat een rapport van 15 pagina's lang onderzoeksrapport heeft opgesteld over Nederlandse hulpgelden die gebruikt zouden worden om de boycotcampagne tegen Israel te financieren gaat Rosenthal in de aanval met "sweeping reforms". Rosenthal bedankt CIDI directeur Naftaniël dat hij de Nederlandse overheid hierop heeft gewezen.
De Palestijnse vluchtelingenorganisatie Badil wordt in dit verband als ontvanger van hulpgelden aangewezen, evenals de cartoonist Ashraf Ahmed Gharib, de maker van onderstaande als anti-semitisch aangeduide cartoon.

Country commitments and ambitions
Country ownership and a country-driven approach are core principles of GCF. One of our operational priorities is to ensure that the we are responsive to the needs and priorities of developing countries.
Every country in the world is impacted by climate change. The Paris Agreement shows that countries are ready to work together in response. But the targets, priorities, and responses need to be determined by each country. GCF has built this principle of country ownership into all its activities to ensure that climate solutions are implemented according to priorities set by the countries themselves
Nationally Determined Contributions
Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, are the expressions of efforts to be made by countries in reducing national emissions and adapt to the impact of climate change. (NDCs) are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of these long-term goals. NDCs embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. The Paris Agreement requires each party to outline and communicate the NDCs that it intends to achieve. The UNFCCC receives and records NDCs in a public registry.
Guided by the principle of country ownership, GCF investments support developing countries' own aspirations for low-emission, climate-resilient development, in order to help attain their NDC objectives.
UNFCCC NDC Registry
GCF is the most catalytic, the most strategic, and the most pre-conditional for us to be able to move forward with the NDCs.
Achim Steiner, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
National Adaptation Plans
National Adaptation Plans, or NAPs, identify a country's medium- and long-term climate adaptation needs, as well as strategies and programmes that need to be developed and implemented to address those needs. The development of NAPs is a continuous, progressive and iterative process, following a country-driven, participatory and transparent approach. These planning processes are intended to catalyse action and finance to generate systemic change that addresses climate impacts and vulnerabilities.
Taking effective climate action requires countries to work out what kinds of adaptation measures will be effective. That is why the proper planning and formulation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and/or other planning processes are so important, and why GCF fully support these efforts.
Our support for adaptation planning is designed to be country-driven, evidence-based and gender-sensitive. GCF assistance for adaptation planning is provided through its Readiness Programme, which provides financial resources to help developing countries access GCF and other climate finance sources.
UNFCCC NAP Central
Adaptation planning which we are receiving from GCF is something which we are using to mobilise further resource for climate action.
Elisa Moyo, representative of the NDA of Zimbabwe
Country programmes
Country programmes lie at the centre of the programming exercise. Country programmes present an overview of a country's national context, policy framework and plans, such as the NDCs, NAPs, and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), and summarise their respective climate action agendas. They also include a pipeline of projects or programmes that the country would like to undertake with GCF. The country programmes have been developed based on initial drafts of templates prepared by the Secretariat including elements from the initial general guidelines for country programmes.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence (R) appeared on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning to defend his "religious liberty" bill from stinging backlash, and promise further clarity on the bill's potential discriminatory impact from the Indiana legislature.
When co-host Steve Doocy paraphrased Reverend Al Sharpton as saying the bill was racist (did he?), Pence cited his participation in the 45th anniversary of Selma.
Selma has now been invoked on both sides of this debate, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest having alluded to it in an interview with ABC News Sunday to describe President Barack Obama's position against the bill.

Thorney, Perennial back Microba's gut feeling
June 16, 2019 | by Perennial
Sarah Thompson & Anthony Macdonald – AFR
Gut health biotechnology group Microba has landed some big names in its Series B founding round, with Alex Waislitz's Thorney Investments, Perennial Value and Sydney investment firm Alium Capital backing the 18-month old venture
Microba raised $10 million in the round, with chief executive Blake Wills telling Street Talk he was pleased with the calibre of investors willing to back the young company.
Microba, which owns technology developed at the University of Queensland and was last year named as Ausbiotech's top emerging company, has developed a kit that it says allows users to perform a comprehensive test of their gut microbiome.
This area of medicine is booming, with gut health now seen as increasingly important to overall health and wellness.
An unnamed global precision medical company is also among the new backers, joining South Korean group Macrogen on the share registry. The KOSDAQ-listed group pumped $4.1 million into Microba in a deal announced last week. The pair plan to work together to take Microba's testing kit global.
"We remain very focused on providing access to this excellent technology to the users who will benefit from it most," Wills said.
"That includes everyday Australians, clinicians, and researchers who are interested in the bacteria living in the large intestine. These bacteria perform a broad range of important functions including digesting food and modulating our immune system."

Sharks - Incubo dagli abissi (The Requin) è un film del 2022 scritto e diretto a Le-Van Kiet.

Trama
Jaelyn e il marito Kyle sono in vacanza in Vietnam per cercare di riprendersi dopo l'aborto spontaneo della donna, che l'ha spinta ad allontanarsi da famiglia e amici. La seconda notte della loro vacanza un uragano si abbatte sulla costa e il bungalow over-water in cui i due dormono si stacca del molo e va alla deriva nel Mar Cinese Meridionale. Con il passare dei giorni le condizioni dei due si fanno sempre più disperate: Kyle si è ferito gravemente alla gamba e il bungalow va a fuoco dopo che la coppia appicca un piccolo incendio per attirare l'attenzione di una nave di passaggio. Jaelyn e Kyle sono quindi costretti a lasciare il loro rifugio e aggrapparsi a un pezzo di legno per rimanere a galla.

Qui Kyle chiede scusa alla moglie per averla trascurata dopo l'aborto, ma il momento viene interrotto dall'attacco di uno squalo, che ferisce a morte Kyle. Durante la notte la zattera di fortuna approda su una spiaggia, dove Jaelyn crolla esausta e si addormenta. Al suo risveglio si accorge che la marea si è alzata e ha portato via il corpo del marito: quando si tuffa in mare per trascinarlo a riva viene nuovamente attaccata dagli squali, che divorano il cadavere di Kyle e la feriscono alla gamba.

Dopo essersi ripresa, Jaelyn vaga lungo la costa finché non incontra un pescatore locale, che la fa salire sul suo coracle per cucirla la ferita. Mentre Jaelyn dorme, il pescatore si tuffa per controllare le reti, ma viene attaccato e ucciso da uno squalo, che poi attacca la barca. Dopo una dura lotta contro il predatore, Jaelyn riesce a liberarsi dallo squalo, che si ferisce a morte da solo azzannando l'ancora della barca. Rimasta sola, Jaelyn si lascia trasportare dalla corrente fino a un vicino villaggio di pescatori, dove viene scorta e salvata dai locali.

Partera's History
Partera was the name applied in 2007 to a piece of work already under way.
In the late 1980s, Founding Director, LeeAnn McKenna stumbled into the work of peacemaking; it was not part of anyone's plan. Doors opened – volunteer with Canada World Youth? Sure. Write some children's curriculum on El Salvador? Sure. There's a war going on in El Salvador; how about trying volunteer accompaniment? Sure. There's a spot open on the Inter-church Committee on Latin America board; would you like to be a part of it? Sure.
Her involvement expanded to include human rights monitoring in Latin America and eventually other parts of the world, reporting to the member bodies of the Canadian Council of Churches, and doing advocacy at regular consultations with the Global Affairs Unit of External/Foreign Affairs, at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly. Later on, the work became focussed on training people living in zones of conflict in the skills of economic literacy, conflict transformation, human rights, gender, mediation and nonviolent direct action.
Partera was chosen deliberately as a way to describe the evolving methodology. Partera, which is Spanish for midwife, casts our trainers in the role of midwife, a companion in a process of birthing a yearned-for future. Go to Our Method to read more about how the deliberately de-colonising approach creates fertile ground for the kind of change we want to see in the world.

Track & Field: Islanders Represent San Diego in Premier Arcadia Invitational
By Andres de la Lama
On Saturday, April 6, the Islander Track & Field team represented Coronado at two invitational meets—one of which took them to Los Angeles. According to Coach George Green, the Arcadia Invite, held at Arcadia High School, is the premier high school track & field meet with over 4,000 athletes from all over the US competing. As one of Coronado's top athletes, senior Alysah Hickey dominated in both jumping events. Initially entered in the invitational section of the High Jump and Long Jump, Hickey had to enter in the open section of the High Jump due to a scheduling conflict. She won this event handily, with a mark of 5 feet-9 inches, as the second-place mark was 5-5. As this event took place in the morning, Hickey could now concentrate on the evening Long Jump event. On her last attempt, she won with a mark of 19 feet-11.25 inches.
"If she had competed in the invite high jump, she would have won that as well as the winning height was 5 feet 8 inches," says Coach Green. "Alysah was the only San Diego Section Athlete to win an Invitational event at the meet."
As a versatile athlete, senior Ruthie Grant-Williams entered in the open-section heptathlon, which is a seven-event competition taking place over two days. The High Jump, 100-meter dash, Shot Put, and 200-meter race were held on the first day, followed by the Long Jump, Javelin, and 800-meter race on the second day. Her best events were the High Jump, in which she leaped 5 feet-4 inches, and the 100-meter hurdles, clocking 15.34 seconds. Coach Green comments, "Had the wind reading been .3 meters per second slower, this time would have lowered Ruthie's school record which is currently 15.50 set at the Escondido Invite last season." Competing against some of the top athletes in the country, Grant-Williams placed ninth in the heptathlon.
Some of the Islander Track athletes stayed closer to home, entering in the Seventh Annual Arnie Robinson Invite held at Mesa College. "This Invite is becoming more popular every season as it offers a full range of both junior college and high school events," says Coach Green. Sophomore Sofia Van Arsdale won the 800-meter after taking the lead from the gun with a meet record time of 2:19.85. Also running on the track, senior Regina Czerewko clocked two PRs in the 400-meter and 200-meter, with times of 65.02 and 29.27 seconds, respectively. Senior Victoria Perez, thrower for the Islanders, took third place in the Shot Put, with a 33-foot throw, and seventh in the Discus Throw, with a 112 foot-6 inch toss.
Leading the Islanders in the boys' races, senior Nicholas Dunn placed fifth in the 100-meter dash, with a PR time of 11.30 seconds. Following Dunn was junior Kainoa Potter, who finished in 12.04 seconds. Dunn and Potter also ran in the 200-meter race, clocking times of 21.27 and 24.39 seconds, respectively. Running in the 400-meter, sophomore Noah Wahamaki lowered his PR with a time of 59.08 seconds.
Just prior to the two successful meets on Saturday, the Islanders competed in a dual meet with Lincoln High School on Thursday (4/4). For the girls, senior Sarah Barns and Czerewko took first and second in the 200-meter, clocking respective times of 29.28 and 30.17 seconds. Barns also competed in and won the 300-meter hurdles in 50.29 seconds, followed by sophomore Jasmine Chaney in second. In the 400-meter, Van Arsdale, Barns, and Czerewko took the first three places, with respective times of 62.37, 64.07, and 66.67 seconds. Perez won both of her specialty events, the Shot Put and the Discus Throw.
In the boys' races, Dunn came close to first in both the 100-meter and 200-meter, with times of 11.37 and 23.03 seconds, the latter being a PR. Potter placed fourth in the 100-meter, clocking 11.92 seconds; Shane Alihan, Zane Delcore, and Orion James all finished under 13 seconds. In the 1600, Cole and Landon Mullins took first and second place with times of 5:08.5 and 5:11.6, respectively. Brad Busby, Conor Youngblood, and Xavier Baltazar followed, respectively finishing in 5:37.0, 5:38.2, and 5:52.2.
Upcoming Meet:
Thursday, April 18 vs. Kearny and Clairemont High Schools at Clairemont High School @ 3:30 PM

Holiday Classics from the Archive
By Erin Overbey
Photograph by Steven Gottlieb / Corbis / Getty
In a cartoon by Liza Donnelly that was published in this magazine in 2012, a little boy stands in his living room surrounded by opened Christmas gifts and cheerfully asks his parents, "When is it time to want more?" It's a familiar question for many of us during this season—especially for those with small children. As families come together to exchange gifts, the holidays are also a perfect time to celebrate good tidings and the many blessings of the past year. Today, as a thank-you to our readers, we're bringing you a selection of some of our favorite holiday stories, newly available for easy online reading and sharing. In "Christmas," a short story from 1975, Vladimir Nabokov writes about a father's grief over his son's death and a discovery he makes while packing up his belongings. In Alice Munro's "The Turkey Season," an older woman looks back on the holiday she spent as a turkey gutter. In "Christmas Cards," John Updike recalls the holiday seasons of his youth and the significance of the presents that his family exchanged. Ken Kesey writes about donating money to a man who was down on his luck during the holidays and having a surprising reunion with him a year later. In "Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor," a short story published in 1949, John Cheever offers a moving tale about generosity, poverty, and unforeseen outcomes. The humorist David Sipress reflects on his childhood in New York, where he grew up celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas. Joan Acocella recounts her ex-husband's attempts to Italianize their Christmas. Finally, James Thurber retells "A Visit from St. Nicholas," with inspiration from Ernest Hemingway. After opening all of your presents, we hope that you'll take a moment to enjoy some of these classic pieces from our archive. Consider them our gift to you. Happy holidays.

"Christmas," by Vladimir Nabokov and Dmitri Nabokov (trans.)
"Somewhere far away, peasants were chopping wood—every blow bounced resonantly skyward—and beyond the light silver mist of trees, high above the squat log huts, the sun caught the equanimous radiance of the cross on the church."

"The Turkey Season," by Alice Munro
"All I could see when I closed my eyes, the first few nights after working there, was turkeys."
"Christmas Cards," by John Updike
The taste of Christmas in the little Pennsylvania town of Shillington was compounded of chocolate-flavored piety and a tart awareness of where one stood on the socioeconomic scale.
"Skid-Row Santa," by Ken Kesey
At the finale of the Christmas show last year, I came out as a skid-row Santa, complete with rubber nose, plastic sack full of beer cans, and a pint of peppermint schnapps to fortify the holiday spirit.
"Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor," by John Cheever
"His face was blazing. He loved the world, and the world loved him."
"A Nineteen-Fifties Jewish-American Christmas Story," by David Sipress
My family, like many Upper West Side Reform Jewish families in the nineteen-fifties, celebrated both Hanukkah and Christmas.
Illustration by Lynn Pauley
"My Ex-Husband and the Fish Dinner," by Joan Acocella
The menu of his Christmas Eve feast changed from year to year, but certain items remained constant.
"A Visit from Saint Nicholas," by James Thurber
"The sleigh was full of toys. 'Who is it?' mamma asked. 'Some guy,' I said. 'A little guy.' "

First of all to node is when you ejaculate. Nodevember is the month of November where an individual does not "node" for a whole month in order to be on a cleanse before the end of a year. For the whole month you must not "node" unless in the extreme case of someone you find attractive forcing the ide of sexual activities with you however the idea for such activities cannot be put forth by the individual taking part in Nodevember.
Sorry I've been a bit on edge recently because I have been participating in Nodevember.

The Robber Bridegroom
April 8-16, 2011 The primary story centers on Rosamund, the daughter of the richest planter in Rodney, Mississippi, in 1795. Rosamund, is being courted by the debonair Jamie Lockhart. She is not interested in Jamie because she is enthralled by the "Bandit of the Woods," a dangerous criminal who accosted her in the woods, much to her delight. However, because the bandit wears a disguise, she does not realize that the bandit and Jamie are the same man. Comic confusion ensues. Add to this basic story, an evil witch of a stepmother, a vile criminal who carries around his dead brother's head (which talks to him), a cawing raven, a boy named Goat and some great bluegrass music and you have the makings of a superb evening of theatre. "The thing that engages me most about the story is the exploration of female and male sexual archetypes," Steve Ray, UTC Assistant Professor of Theatre and Speech the director of the musical, saod. "Welty was interested in portraying strong female sexuality in her work. In the end, it is not terribly politically correct. It also gets quite dark, like much of Southern Gothic literature—it's both dark and funny." UTC's production will visually highlight the fairytale nature of the story. The designs draw from children's books and other classic depictions of fairy tales. The original production featured a minimal set using crates and barrels to create the various environments. The UTC production will stray from this a bit, creating a fairytale forest, strewn about with relics of the antebellum South. These relics—plantation columns, antique furniture, a broken chimney, etc.—are arranged in various ways to create a plantation, a cabin hideaway, a rustic inn and a riverboat. The cast features UTC students Aiden Smith, Brandon McCravy, Tiffany Kelly, Maggie McNulty, Michael Haggarty, Will Park, Jarred Clemons, Brandy Johnson, Maadiye Davies, Kimberly Skoda, Megan Cobb, T.C. Cox, Erin England, Justin Holderman, Gregory Jackson, Tyler Mascia, Nicole Pavol, Forrest Pruitt, Hannah Tumlin, Iesha Vann, and Alex Whittle.


A nice petrol station with an M&S in it in a great location for a number of local routes. The forecourt is quite narrow so often there's queues because pumps are unused as drivers can't always park side by side easily.
I feel really cross that there is no car wash machine anymore. Ridiculous considering (as far as I know) there is no other one anywhere nearby. Torrington is a large catchment area, and I'm sure it was used a lot.??!!
