Israeli settlers are only innocent in Netanyahu’s warped mind. Actually, that group is the strongest, cruelest, most important, most determined and most dangerous power controlling the occupied territories. B. Michael. Oct. 27, 2015.
No dia 27 de outubro, dezenas de professores universitários britânicos anunciaram sua ruptura com instituições educativas israelenses, na tentativa de chamar atenção para as inúmeras infrações internacionais que Israel comete na ocupação da Palestina.
In a statement released on Tuesday, 343 UK academics announced that they would no longer accept invitations to visit Israeli academic institutions, act as referees in any of their processes, or participate in conferences funded or organised by them. "We couldn't have done this five years ago. The change in mood is palpable; many people have been critical of Israel and its policies privately, but until now, many have not thought they wanted to state this publicly," said London School of Economics professor Jonathan Rosenhead, who helped to organise the academic commitment. "It represents, therefore, a clear shift in the feelings people have about Israel. We hope that many more people will sign, and it will help in the process of public education about Israel - and at some point, Israel will start to listen and change their policy. The need for solidarity with the Palestinian people ... is made more urgent today by the current escalation of violent conflict in Israel/Palestine. The fatalities are overwhelmingly of Palestinians engaging in street protests provoked by Israel's 48-year and ever tightening occupation. Palestinians are driven to desperation in the face of Israeli intransigence, and its continuing ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem."
The 343 signatories to Tuesday's statement hail from 72 institutions throughout the UK. Citing the "deep complicity" of Israeli academic institutions in Israel's violations of international law, they have vowed to maintain their boycott "until the State of Israel complies with international law, and respects universal principles of human rights. As scholars associated with British universities, we are deeply disturbed by Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land, the intolerable human rights violations that it inflicts on all sections of the Palestinian people, and its apparent determination to resist any feasible settlement," the text of the academic commitment stated.
Signatories cited a number of specific instances in which Israeli universities have been complicit in the country's violations of international law, including research leading to the development of weaponised, unmanned bulldozers that have been used to demolish Palestinian homes and technology that helps Israel detect and destroy smuggling tunnels used by Palestinians to break the siege on Gaza.
"The Palestinian people continue to show remarkable determination in fighting for their national rights," said Professor Costas Lapavitsas of London's School of Oriental and African Studies. "The action by UK scholars is a small gesture of support and a way of reminding Israel that the arrogance of strength is a bad and dangerous principle for any state to adopt."
The United States says that Israel and Jordan have agreed on steps, including 24-hour video surveillance, to try and help end weeks of violence over a Jerusalem site holy to Muslims, Jews and Christians.The current Intifada against Israel's ongoing occupation broke out last month mainly amid growing unrest triggered by Israeli incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound - the third holiest site for Muslims - and have taken place across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Gaza and in Palestinian communities in Israel.
However, the Intifada continues because Palestinians see it as 'new trap', in the words of their Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki: "Israel is planning to use such footage to arrest Muslim worshippers it believes are 'inciting' against it."
Saeb Erekat, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, said Abbas had told Kerry "that he should look into the roots of the problem - and that is the continued occupation".

Forum Al Jazeera: How can Palestinians legally fight occupation? Experts say the question is not about Palestine's right to resist, but about holding Israel accountable for its crimes.
Desde o início de outubro, militares e colonos israelenses já assassinaram 57 palestinos. Mais de 1.900 estão feridos - inclusive 391 meninos - por balas de borracha, balas reais e gás.
Since October 1st, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 56 Palestinians, including unarmed protesters, bystanders and alleged attackers. More than 1.900 Palestinians - including 391 children - have benn injured by live amunition or rubber-coated bullets.
No dia 23, Saeb Erekat, o homem mais influente da Autoridade Palestina, junto com Mahmoud Abbas, e que pleiteia a presidência, acabou tendo de admitir o óbvio: Negociar com Israel é perda de tempo.
56 Palestinians and eight Israelis have been killed in renewed violence in Israel and Palestine.
The latest unrest was triggered by Israel's increased restrictions on Palestinian access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and visits to the site by Jewish groups last month.
Since then, stabbings, shootings and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces have erupted throughout the occupied territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. Palestinians are continuing to protest restrictions on movement, attacks by settlers and failed peace negotiations.
As violence continues to escalate, is the Palestinian Authority failing its people? And will a 'third intifada' help the Palestinian cause?
In this week's Al Jazeera Headliner asks PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat what the PA is doing to protect Palestinians.

Estes fascistas judeus protestavam contra a cobertura da Intifada. Não é a primeira vez que infringem a lei na França. Vivem perseguindo e agredindo críticos à ocupação israelense, mas mesmo quando a vítima dá queixa, fica por issso.
Esses criminosos de colarinho branco têm as costas quentes e além disso a grana corre solta no fianciamento de suas atividades neo-fascito-rascistas ilícitas e de sua milícia.
Enquanto isso, os colonos judeus fanáticos continuam atacando e destruindo a três por quatro sem nenhum controle dos policiais israelenses. Estão atacando até seus compatriotas menos radicais. Dê uma olhada no vídeo:

Inside Story: Why is Netanyahu is rewriting history?
West Bank is mourning death of Hashem Azzeh, olive farmer and medical doctor who was killed after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli soldiers in Hebron during a protest in the Bab alm-Zawiyah area of the city on Wednesday 21st.
An outpouring of grief and sorrow has followed the killing of this loved veteran Palestinian activist Hashem Azzeh by Israeli soldiers in Hebron.
His death comes after years of campaigning against the occupation of Palestinian territories and harassment by Jewish settlers, who live in illegal settlements surrounding his home in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood.
Azzeh was buried on Thursday 22nd in a funeral attended by Palestinian officials and international anti-occupation activists.And in Gaza, thousands of persons attended the funeral of Ahmad Serhe, 27 years old, in Deir El Balah. He was murdered on the 20th in Bureij by an Israeli sniper.
Israel claimed that 15-year-old Bashar Jamil al-Jabari and his 17-year-old cousin Husam Ismail Jamil al-Jabari had tried to stab soldiers at a checkpoint in the city. But according to an investigation by the PCHR, the two boys had been observing a protest by Israeli settlers near the city’s Ibrahimi mosque at around 9:30pm.
“While watching the demonstration, the two children stood beside an Israeli soldier, who was around the corner of [the] al-Rajabi building that the Israeli settlers are attempting to seize control over. The soldier was leaning against the wall and normally talking to the two children. The children later asked the soldier to let them pass through a metal gate so they could go back home. When the two children heading towards the gate were only two meters away from the soldier, other Israeli soldiers fortified in a military watchtower in the area opened fire at the children and killed them immediately,” PCHR says.
Israel has not returned the children’s bodies to their families. And Tel Aviv never carries out credible investigations into the killings of Palestinians anyway, including children, and its soldiers and settlers enjoy what amounts to blanket and systematic impunity for such crimes.
Last month Israeli forces fatally shot 18-year-old Hadil Salah Hashlamoun at a checkpoint in Hebron, and then claimed she’d lunged at soldiers with a knife. But photographs and eyewitnesses disproved the claim (video above) and showed she posed no threat.
But Palestinians, international organisations, human rights groups and governments, including the United States, argue Gaza is still occupied.
In the Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan challenges Israel's narrative, arguing the country still controls Gaza's borders, airspace and territorial waters. He also points to the fact Israel controls the population register, meaning the government defines who is and who is not a resident of Gaza.
Ótimo programa.
The first of more than 9,000 completely destroyed Palestinian refugee homes during Israel's 51-day Operation Protective Edge in the besieged Gaza Strip has been rebuilt, according to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
Starting in July 2014 and spanning seven weeks, Israeli forces attacked Gaza from land, air and sea. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) verified the deaths of 2,131 Palestinians - among them 1,473 civilians, 501 of whom were children. On the other hand, 66 Israeli soldiers and four civilians were killed.
Already blockaded by Israel since Hamas took control of the strip in 2006, Gaza has been hit by three major Israeli attacks since 2008.
Many homes destroyed during the first bombardement - Operation Cast Lead - have yet to be rebuilt due to Israel's strict regulations.

Women of the intifadas. Three generations of Palestinian women reflect on how female fighters have always been a part of the resistance.
Dear Mr. President, As you prepare to welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House next month, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has once again turned violent.
While random stabbings and other attacks kill innocents on both sides, the underlying cause of Palestinian anger is the expanding Israeli settlements and the continuing Israeli occupation.
Mr. Netanyahu will arrive in Washington with expectations of renewed unconditional military support. Media reports suggest that the Israelis have requested an annual aid increase from $3.1 billion to $4.5 billion for ten years. The Prime Minister will argue that the additional largess is needed to compensate Israel for its perceived loss of security resulting from the Iran nuclear deal.
The security argument is specious because there is no real loss of Israeli security vis-à-vis Iran. Despite verbal attacks, Tehran has never threatened Israel militarily. The nuclear deal provides enough monitoring to guard against any agreement violations.
Moreover, nuclear-armed Israel has the overwhelming military superiority to deter or repel military attacks from neighbors.
Of course, such rejoinders won’t keep Mr. Netanyahu from pursuing his claim for “compensation.”
So here are some additional reasons to say no to military aid:
* In its 2014 war on Gaza, Israel used U.S-provided arms to kill more than 1,500 Palestinian civilians, including more than 500 children. In the current period of violent conflict, there is a far greater likelihood that the Israeli Defense Force will use US military aid to buy arms that strike Palestinians instead of Iranians—unless the Israeli Prime Minister should decide to use US-provided hardware to make a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In either case, do we want to associate with Israel’s military adventures?
* During the long run-up to the Iran deal and beyond, Israel has focused its energies on scuttling the agreement. Mr. Netanyahu’s address to Congress last spring was more than simply disrespect to the White House, it was blatant interference with American foreign policy. A $20 million lobbying campaign targeting Congress compounded that injury.
* Intentionally or not, Israel’s preoccupation with the Iran negotiations deflected global attention from its expansion of settlements in East Jerusalem and obscured Palestinian efforts to win international support from U.N. agencies. Such actions have added to Palestinian frustrations.
* Israel is a serial violator of international law. A five page listing of such transgressions may be found on the Washington, DC-based Israel Law Resource Center website. The list includes collective punishment, apartheid barriers, illegal acquisition of land by force, ethnic cleansing, Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory– and disregard of some 28 resolutions of the U.N. Security Council (which are legally binding on member nations).
Mr. President, don’t be misled by the oft-repeated refrain that Israel is “our best friend in the Middle East.” Recall the 1967 sinking of the USS Liberty, the bulldozer murder of American protester Rachel Corrie and the sponsoring of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. Recognize that our foreign policy interests are not always in line with those of Israel.
Oh, and please object strongly to the Prime Minister’s practice of calling Americans “anti-Semitic” when they embrace BDS or criticize Israeli government policies. Such charges are as demeaning and dishonest as they are inaccurate. The issue is not about Jews, but about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
Now is not the time to “reward” or “compensate” Israel by providing it more military wherewithal to oppress and kill Palestinian civilians. Indeed, all US military aid should be halted. Israeli planes are already bombing the Gaza Strip, perhaps the first step in another heartless “mowing of the lawn.” Will America allow itself again to become complicit in such atrocities?
The US should promote a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not fan the flames of war with billion dollar grants to purchase deadly weapons.
Your upcoming meeting with Mr. Netanyahu on November 9 is a timely opportunity to tell the Prime Minister that any further US military aid will be contingent on concrete actions by Israel to recognize Palestinian rights under international law–including steps to end the occupation, remove the blockade of Gaza and dismantle the settlements.

Enquanto isso, Obama mandou seu embaixador Ban Ki Moon a Jerusalém. E lá, o secretário geral da ONU disse aos palestinos: “I know your hopes for peace have been dashed countless times. You are angry at the continued occupation and expansion of settlements. I am not asking you to be passive, but you must put down the weapons of despair.” (Como não desesperar após décadas de espera infrutífera?)E aos israrelenses: “When children are afraid to go to school, when anyone on the street is a potential victim, security is rightly your immediate priority. But walls, checkpoints, harsh responses by the security forces and house demolitions cannot sustain the peace and safety that you need and must have.”
E aos jornalistas: "My visit reflects the sense of global alarm at the dangerous escalation in violence between Israelis and Palestinians. I am here to encourage and support all efforts to lower tensions and prevent the situation from spinning out of control."
E Netanyahu voltou a apelar pra ignorância: ‘Abbas has joined Isis and Hamas’.

Por que Netanyahu está tentando limpar a barra de Hitler? Com certeza para limpar-se de seus próprios crimes.
Why is Binyamin Netanyahu trying to whitewash Hitler? To wash himself and his crimes?
A indignação foi generalizada o embaixador palestino na ONU Saeb Erekat declarou que Netanyahu tinha “deepened the divide” between Palestinians and Israelis at a time when more than 50 of the former and 10 of the latter had been killed in ongoing violence.
“Palestinian efforts against the Nazi regime are a deep-rooted part of our history,” said Erekat, noting the role Palestinians had played fighting the Nazis during the Second World War. “Palestine will never forget, although it seems Netanyahu’s extremist government has. It is a sad day in history when the leader of the Israeli government hates his neighbour so much so that he is willing to absolve the most notorious war criminal in history, Adolf Hitler, of the murder of six million Jews,” Erekat added.
