Israeli Apartheid Week VI: Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel!



A Semana contra o Apartheid Israelense está entrando em suas três últimas semanas. Nosso continente deverá fechar o movimento com eventos as regiões sudeste, sul e centro-oeste. As inscrições continuam chegando no BDSmovement. A mobilização nas universidades estadunidenses está intensa, após o sengudo ponto alto em Washington DC há duas semanas.
No Canadá, berço do movimento, várias universidades aderiram à IAW, apesar da pressão do governo.
Na Austrália, , criador da Electronic Intifada, deu palestras para dezenas de universitários em Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, etc. que compraram seu livro para si e para presentear.

* Following 2016 IAW events, Italian students launch the ' in support of BDS
On January 29th 168 Italian scholars from more than 50 universities signed a pledge calling on their institutions to cut ties with the Israel institute of Technology (Technion) in Haifa. The number has soared rapidly, topping 332 signatures last week. The petition follows similar endorsements by scholars and academic associations across Europe, the US and South Africa. 
During the IAW (Israeli Apartheid Week) 2016, students’ associations and groups across Italian campuses have initiated the “Studenti Contro Il Technion” campaign, embracing Michel Foucault’s claim: “Knowledge is not for knowing, it is for cutting”. However, the events organized for this occasion have been met with a clear “closure” attitude by their universities. The Deans of the universities of Turin and Cagliari have denied the students the spaces for conferences about BDS, basing their decisions on the absence of a “counterpart” in the programs. Students have on the contrary rejected their Deans’ claims and recalled that when it comes to “criticizing” the State of Israel, Italian institutions have often attempted to resist and impede these forms of peaceful resistance, de facto preventing the opinion of the oppressed to be heard. They have therefore occupied rooms inside the university premises and carried out their IAW program despite the Deans’ denial.

PALESTINE LAND DAY

A Semana contra o Apartheid Israelense continua a todo vapor no nosso continente, mas as notícias da semana passada vieram direto da Palestina e dos refugiados nos quatro cantos do mundo.
Um deles foi uma maratona que aconteceu no dia primeiro de abril (que abordarei mais na frente) e o outro foi do Dia da Terra, que tratarei primeiro.
Isto porque os palestinos celebraram no 30 de março o que celebram todo ano desde 1976: o Dia da Terra. É o dia em que os palestinos cidadãos israelenses e os demais protestam contra a ocupação israelense com passeatas, debates e comemorações diversas.
Tudo começou no início de março de 1976 quando Israel expropriou cerca de 2.000 hectares de terra em volta dos vilarejos Sakhnin e Arraba para fincar invasões judias e um campo de treinamento da IDF. A medida era parte da estratégia de judeinizar a Galiléia.
Em resposta coletiva imprecedente nessa década, no dia 30 de março de 1976, palestinos da Galiléia inteira saíram às ruas espontaneamente para protestar e a IDF matou seis deles e feriu mais de 100 participantes.
Desde então, esse dia vem sendo celebrado como Yom al-Ard - Dia da Terra, com eventos coletivos anti-colonisação pelos palestinos locais e pelos da diáspora.
Every year  on March 30, exiled Palestinians return home to protest the Israeli occupation celebrating the  .
In early March of 1976, Israel published plans to expropriate about 20,000 dunums (2,000 hectares) of land around the Palestinian villages of Sakhnin and Arraba, which would later be used to establish new Jewish settlements and a military training camp. These plans were part of an official state policy to Judaize the Galilee following the creation of the state of Israel.
In a collective response on March 30, 1976 - marking one of the first displays of mass coordinated action by Palestinians inside Israel - Palestinians demonstrated from across Galilee in the north all the way to the Negev in the south. Six Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured.
March 30 has since been commemorated annually by Palestinians as Yom al-Ard (Land Day), with collective anti-colonisation actions across historic Palestine and in the Palestinian diaspora.
For the exiled community of Lifta, Yom al-Ard is among the most important days for community-based action. Displaced from their village on the western slopes of Jerusalem in 1948, many villagers fled only a couple of kilometres across the Green Line to East Jerusalem.
Many of these refugees later fled internationally when East Jerusalem was occupied in 1967 and later annexed by Israel in 1981.
Still, a nucleus of Lifta's community-in-exile remains to this day in East Jerusalem, living only a kilometre or two from their original homes but denied the right to return. Every year on Yom al-Ard, members of the community make the short journey to their home village to clean the cemetery, pray alongside the spring and walk among old memories.

More than four thousand people ran for Palestine last week in Bethlehem. It was the fourth edition of the the Palestinian Marathon for Free Movement, in Bethlehem, on April 1st. Following, videos that show the event.
They run to tell a different story. History, not the hasbara told by the mainstream media.

Em abril de 2016, o The Freedom Theatre de Jenin celebra seu aniversário de 10 anos na forma que existe atualmente. Dediquei um blog inteiro (30/12/12) a este polo cultural palestino, criado inicialmente na casa dos pais de Zakaria Zubeidi, um grande resistente chefe das Brigadas Al-Aqsa, ala armada do Fatah, em Jenin. Zakaria abandonou a luta armada e se dedica inteiramente ao teatro, que tenta recuperar, através da arte, a infância perdida dos palestininhos que nascem e crescem sendo pisoteados pelos ocupantes israelenses.
A celebração contará com um Festival que durará uma semana, do dia 4 a 9 de abril, com uma série de espetáculos, palestras e debates que acontecerão no local do Freedom Theatre de Jenin, nos territórios palestinos ocupados, na Cisjordânia.
In April 2016, The Freedom Theatre of Jenin will celebrate its tenth anniversary with a six-day Festival and Forum on Cultural Resistance, April 4-9 in Jenin Refugee Camp are, among many others, Omar Barghouthi, Hala Nassar,... Ilan Pappé, Mazin Qumsiyeh, Reem Talhami, Nabeel Al-Raee, Manal Tamimi, Khaled Katamesh... the list goes on and on! How could you possibly miss it?

A play  / Uma peça 

Tenho de retornar ao assunto principal da semana passada que foi a execução sumária de um jovem palestino de 21 anos por um soldado israelense que foi julgado, sumariamente, condenado por homicídio involuntário, em vez de assassinato bárbaro, e já está solto. 
Nesse ínterim, o ativista da B'Tselem que filmou a cena está sofrendo ameaças que não param, tanto dos invasores judeus que terrorizam Hebron quanto dos soldados. Como diz Emad Abu Shamsiyeh, "Israel faz o que quer", e fica por isso, mas ele está pronto para depor na Háguia e onde o chamarem.
Emad Abu Shamsiyeh, who filmed the Israeli soldier executing the injured Palestinian says: 'Israel does whatever it wants' and is ready to testitfy.
B’Tselem director Hagai El-Ad wrote to OC Central Command Roni Numa and Chief of Police Roni Alsheich informing them of death threats made against ‘Emad Abu Shamsiyeh, the B’Tselem volunteer who filmed the incident in which a soldier shot and killed ‘Abd al-Fatah a-Sharif in Hebron on 24 March 2016. 
In the letter, Hagai requested assurance that the military and police commanders are aware of the danger to which Emad and his family are exposed. He emphasized their duty to do all that is in their power to protect the family from further violence, including issuing clear, adequate directives to soldiers and police officers stationed in Hebron.
Hagai el-Ad stressed that this is far from a hypothetical matter: Emad Abu Shamsiyeh is well known in his neighborhood, Tel Rumeida, and in recent years has suffered several attacks by settlers living there. In light of that, and given the threats issued against him, we fear that these attacks will be exacerbated.
Since the footage was released, Emad and his family have already been subjected to threats of murder, stones thrown at their home, and hateful posts on Facebook. Most of this violence was instigated by Hebron settlers.
About Hebron murderer, the IDF appealed and court ordered the soldier to be relased on-base confinement. He has still not been charged with a crime: :.

Abaixo, Gershon Baskin, jornalista israelense, comenta a recente entrevista de Ilana Dayan com Mahmoud Abbas - Abu Mazen.
Gershon Baskin: WHERE IS THE ISRAELI PARTNER FOR PEACE?  After watching the Ilana Dayan interview with Abu Mazen I can say that I personally sent messages to Netanyahu from Abu Mazen several times over the past 3 years, as did others, proposing direct negotiations. Netanyahu turned down every single request. Abu Mazen, through me, invited several other senior Israeli politicians to meet with him, even before the last 6 months of violence, and they refused. Abu Mazen ask me to invite several senior Likud figures to meet with him and Netanyahu vetoed those meetings. Abu Mazen asked me to pass an invitation from hi to Aryeh Deri, who for months I have been trying to respond positively to that invitation, and Deri never even bothered to respond - even after he had me speak to his senior advisor, Barak Seri - he didn't even have the courtesy to respond. I personally arranged for Buji Herzog to meet with Abu Mazen, before the elections and after the elections. I proposed to Herzog that they hold a joint press conference and speak about how they could reach an agreement. Abbas agreed and said that if Herzog is ready, he is also ready. Herzog refused. In his meeting, after elections he told Abu Mazen that he was thinking about joining the coalition. Where is the Israeli partner for peace?

Agora, vou cantar vitória de boca cheia: Sou brasileira, com muito orgulho, com muito amor!
Comecei a semana passada cheia de orgulho de ser brasileira.
(Apesar da nossa burguesia gananciosa e ignorante que quer dar um golpe de estado dando uma de chocada com a corrupção da qual desfruta e com a qual compactua em seus respectivos estados de governadores de legendas diferentes da do governo federal. A corrupção no Brasil começa nos municípios, nas câmaras municipais, passa para os governos estaduais, as assembléias legislativas, e é de lá que chega em Brasília, e não o inverso, como os golpistas tentam insinuar. Sou contra a traição do Lula, contra a corrupção em todos os meios, níveis, e também contra punições paliativas de bodes expiatórios que livrem a barra de predadores das riquezas e do patrimônio nacional)
Feito este desabafo, tenho de dizer que apesar de todos os pesares nacionais, nosso governo e o Itamaraty, são modelos de coerência e de respeito com os valores internacionais que defendo. E vira e mexe meus colegas estrangeiros me cumprimentam com inveja da nossa força moral em vários temas.
Desta vez foi por causa da queda de braço, que durou sete meses, entre Brasília e Tel Aviv, sob indiferença de nossa mídia e ignorância do nosso povo pouco informado sobre as questões israelo-palestinas.
Binyamin Netanyahu, após espernear, ameaçar e proferir os impropérios que lhe são peculiares, no dia 28 de março, acabou sendo obrigado a retirar a candidatura do invasor que queria mandar como embaixador para o nosso país tropical, abençoado por Deus e com o Cristo Redentor a nos proteger desses lobos em pele de carneiro.
O nome do fora-da-lei que o Planalto impediu que sujasse nossa terra com seus sapatos sujos de terra surrupiada é Dani Dayan. Esse homem é um dos 500 mil colonos israelenses que residem em terra palestina nos territórios ocupados na Cisjordânia.
Bravo Dilma! Bravo Mauro Vieira! Obrigada por defenderem causas justas sem se deixarem corromper pelo lobby sionista!
Ao verem que não aidantaria esperar a mudança de presidente (com a qual estavam contando para resolver o problema), imagine à porta de que país Netanyahu bateu para salvar a face? Do padrinho gringo, é claro. Amoral até a pontinha dos cabelos. O tal Dayan virou cônsul em Nova York.

Na semana passada, fiz um longo discurso sobre a importância dos vídeos nesta nova Intifada. No dia 24 de março, fui coberta de razão e uma vez mais, ativistas da ONG israelense B'Tselem flagraram um soldado da IDF executando um jovem palestino em Hebron, em sangue frio, a queima-roupa, na maior indiferença de seus colegas e dos invasores civis israelenses que assistiram à cena, já banalizada desde outubro, sem pestanejar. Crime de guerra. Mais um crime a ser acrescentado na longa lista dos crimes da IDF. E mais um impune. Justamente na semana em que o Tribunal da Háguia condenou o sérvio Radovan karadzic por crimes contra a humanidade. Crimes que os generais, oficiais, soldados e primeiros ministros israelenses cometem diariamente, há décadas, à vontade.
IDF soldier executed young Palestinian lying injured on ground after the latter lightly stabbed a soldier in Tel Rumeida, Hebron. It happened in the morning of 24 Mars. The Israeli soldier sustained medium-level injuries.Palestinians Ramzi al-Qasrawi and ‘Abd al-Fatah a-Sharif were shot, and while Ramzi was killed on the spot, Abd al-Fatah was injured and fell to the ground. In video footage captured by Hebron resident ‘Emad abu-Shamsiyah, who sent it to B’Tselem and has been harassed since, by soldiers and by settlers. 
Abd al-Fatah is seen lying on the road injured, with none of the soldiers or medics present giving him first aid or paying him any attention at all. At a certain point, a soldier is seen aiming his weapon at the Palestinian youngster and shooting him in the head from close range, killing him. Although this occurs in the plain view of other soldiers and officers, they do not seem to take any notice.
Extrajudicial street killings are the direct consequence of inflammatory remarks made by Israeli ministers and officials, augmented by Israeli general public atmosphere of dehumanization of Palestinians. The law enforcement authorities are by and large turning a blind eye to repeated grave extrajudicial killing by the Israeli occupation forces, and these backed in the field by commanders. The message to the Israeli public is undeniable: attempting to injure a civilian or a soldier is a death sentence.
Following the internationa comotion, Binyamin Netanyahu hung the Hebron executioner out to dry, although the soldier was just following orders from his superior officers. Netanyahu actually employed the same logic as the Hannibal Directive. Soldiers take the fall, not officers, not polititians.

* The Guardian: 
Video shows full backing of  Israeli war criminals.

30/03/16: "An Israeli military court says evidence is "inconclusive" against one of its soldiers who was caught on camera shooting dead a wounded Palestinian.
Lieutenant Colonel Ronen Shor, the judge, said on Tuesday there was "reasonable doubt" about the circumstances of the shooting "given the complexity of the events" surrounding a stabbing incident and the killing that followed.
Shor also ruled that the soldier would be held in custody for two more days. Prosecutors earlier said the shooting was "intentional" and asked the court to extend the soldier's detention until April 7 while the investigation was ongoing. But the judge said he can be held only until Thursday.
The case has sparked anger and political tensions, with many Palestinians saying the shooting of 21-year-old Abed al-Fattah proved their claims that Israel is guilty of using excessive force and carrying out extrajudicial killings."


A execução sumária de Bashar Massalha também foi filmado, mas menos mediatizado. Vários outros foram ignorados. The sumary execution of Bashar Massalha was filmed too. Here is a subtitled version. And despite promises fo Justice Ministry, no investigation into the Israeli volunteer cop who murdered him were engaged.


Meanwhile, Ma’an reports that Imad Abu Shamsiya, the human rights worker who shot the video documenting the execution of the incapacitated Palestinian in Hebron last week, has received death threats from Jewish settlers who occupy the city. 
Israeli settlers on Friday gathered outside his home in Hebron to hurl abuse at him, a day after he captured on camera an Israeli soldier’s killing of the wounded Palestinian that has sparked international outcry.
Ma’an states that the videographer, Imad Abu Shamsiya, said, “I now fear for my life and the life of my family. I’m afraid they might attack my house and do me harm.”
Human Rights Watch confirms the threats on Shamsiya, conveyed from settlers by soldiers to the photographer:
Imad told international reporters and Human Rights Watch in a phone interview that Israeli forces had threatened him both at the scene and later, when he went to give a statement to the military. A few minutes after he filmed the shooting from the roof of a nearby building, he said, “more journalists gathered on the roof, and the Israeli soldiers noticed us. They pointed their guns at us and screamed at us to get down. Soldiers came into the building and told the [owner] not to allow people there or the family would pay the price.”
Imad said that after B’Tselem shared the video with military investigators, the military asked him to give a statement. During questioning at a military office in Hebron, he felt the interrogator was trying to intimidate him to make him say that he had not filmed the video:
“He told me, ‘How will you benefit from this video? It got a lot of publicity. Your name is known to everyone. Who is going to protect you and your family from right-wing Israelis? Remember you live in [Tel Rumeida], surrounded by Israeli settlers, who will be able to protect you there?’ I felt that I was being threatened. They took the original footage from me.”
Abu Shamsiyyeh said he had received two phone calls on March 24 from a Hebrew-speaker, calling from a private number, but did not understand what was said. “I feel in danger and my children are afraid,” Abu Shamsiyyeh told Human Rights Watch. “I’m not letting them out of the house. I’m afraid of walking in the street.”
Badia Dwaik of Human Rights Defenders in Hebron also confirms the report of threats to Shamsiya since the video was posted. He writes that Shamsiya is a volunteer with his organization. Dwaik relates his conversation with Shamsiya after the video was published.
Imad recounts the execution: “On Thursday morning at 8:30, I was having coffee with my wife Faiza as usual when I heard several bullet shots near my house in Tel-Rumeida. I left the house quickly with my video camera towards the location of shooting.The first thing I saw was an Israeli soldier on the side of the street pointing his rifle at a young man on the ground who was wearing a black jacket and black trousers. While filming I heard noises from other soldiers so I pointed the camera towards the noise where I saw another young man covered in his blood, with blood coming out of his face. This man was wearing a grey jacket, while the first guy in black seemed to be still alive as I was filming. In less than a minute, a large group of soldiers and settlers gathered in the location and an Israeli ambulance arrived and gave aid to an Israeli soldier without attending to either Palestinian men. The man in the grey jacket didn’t move while the man in black was moving his arms and legs while on the ground. After the solider was put in the ambulance, I heard the soldiers getting ready to shoot while I was still filming, and a soldier stepped towards the man wearing a black jacket, shooting him in the head directly from a very close distance even though he didn’t form any threat to the soldiers or settlers as he was on the ground. The man immediately died and his head was blown up to pieces visible on the ground. This is what I documented with my camera from the Human Rights Defenders Group and what I saw with my eye, and my wife Faiza was with me all the time helping me record.”
The execution is part of a pattern of control of the Palestinian population near the Hebron settlements.
Since the start of Intifada in October, occupation forces have carried out several tactics to make life even harder for Palestinians by rebuilding and expanding the military checkpoint on Al-Shuhada street [in Hebron]; the checkpoint consists of two lanes now for entry and exit, where a thorough inspection inside the ‘container ‘is carried out through a glass barrier with CCTV and recording devices, and the residents are required to show their ID and a number that identifies the place of their residence. Each person is required to carry such a number, in what is a new strategy to displace the residents by making life impossible.
Killing of Hadeel al-Hashlamoun, 18, in occupied territory goes unmentioned in J Street statement lamenting violence
The murder of Hadeel Hashlamon, 18, in occupied territory last September, was the beginning for the series of executions. It was documented by a volunteer from Brazil working with Eappi program. The photos were distributed to international media agencies, and the volunteer recounted the story on his own blog. Since then,the area witnessed more execution-style murders from Tel-Rumeida through Al-Salemeh neighbourhood, to the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba, forming an Israeli settlement belt known as the Jewish neighbourhood that came to exist after expelling Palestinians through a number of policies. The map of executions is not random. The locations of these execution-style murders is seen to be in areas around settlers, especially in Hebron; Imad says that 13 murders in cold blood were carried out in Tel-Rumeida and Al-Shuhada street, as well as executions near Al-Ibrahimi mosque and Kiryat Arba.This is in addition to Palestinians murdered in what is known as Gush Etzion north of Hebron, and  Beit Enon [east of Hebron]. This makes it clear that there is a plan to cement the settler reality and escalate strategies against the residents of the land, particularly in the heart of Hebron to link all settlements through the Jewish neighbourhood, using all policies possible of ethnic cleansing and silent displacement, making Hebron a living example of apartheid in the world today. 


Enquanto soldados da IDF com crimes de guerra e contra a humanidade comprovados de maneira irrefutável ficam soltos ou incorrem a tapinhas na mão e são tratados como heróis, o cabo Shachar Berrin, religioso criado na Austrália, incorre pena por ter visto o óbvio e ter ousado denunciar o fascismo crescente em Israel. Eis extratos do relato de Gideon Levy no ano passado do que levou o rapaz a ser ostracizado.
Corporal Shachar Berrin, an immigrant from Australia and a religiously observant lone soldier – he has no family in Israel – is a member of the rescue unit of the Home Front Command, and is stationed in the Jordan Valley.
The punishment, delayed for the time being, was meted out by his battalion commander. The charge: taking part in a political meeting and in an interview the media, without permission from the army.
But Berrin did not take part in any sort of “political meeting,” nor did he give an interview. The 19-year-old soldier was in the audience in the hall of the Mishkenot Sha’ananim conference center, in Jerusalem, for a taping of “The New Arab Debates” – a program of the German television network Deutsche Welle that’s broadcast around the world, moderated by former BBC interviewer Tim Sebastian.
The proposition debated by the panel appearing on the show was: “The occupation is destroying Israel.” The speakers consisted of the settler-activist Dani Dayan and a member of the left-wing Meretz party, Uri Zaki. Berrin, who was in uniform, stood up to address Dayan. The settlers and right-wing activists in the audience filmed him, and in less than 12 hours he was ordered to return to his base, where he was tried and convicted – even before the program was broadcast. Berrin makes his comment at minute 43 of the hour-long show.
This whole incident shows that when rapid, determined action is called for, the Israel Defense Forces knows how to act. When soldiers kill Palestinian children, the investigation is stretched out over years, gathering dust before usually going nowhere. But if a soldier dares to attest publicly that his fellow soldiers are humiliating Palestinians, the IDF mobilizes rapidly to trample, punish and silence. That’s what happened to Shachar Berrin.
In the question-and-answer segment, after Dayan remarked that the fact that Israel is in 11th place in the World Happiness Report demonstrated that the occupation is not destroying it, Berrin asked for the floor and said (in English): “My name is Shachar Berrin and my question is for Dani Dayan. It was mentioned that Israel is the 11th happiest country in the world… I propose that what makes a country good isn’t whether it is happy or not, it’s the ethics and morality of the country. When soldiers are conditioned and persuaded on a daily basis to subjugate and humiliate people and consider other human beings as less than human, I think that seeps in, and I think that when the soldiers go home… they bring that back with them.”
Tim Sebastian asked Berrin whether he was speaking “from personal experience.”
Berrin: “Sure. Definitely. Just the other week, when some Border Police soldiers were rough with Christian tourists, another soldier, a colleague, said she couldn’t believe what they were doing: ‘I mean, come on, they are people, not Palestinians.’ I think that resonates throughout the occupied territories. I serve in the Jordan Valley, and we see every day how soldiers… look at these people not as human beings, not as someone who is equal, but someone who is less than them. And to think that we can just leave the racism and the xenophobia – that they will only be racist when they humiliate Palestinians – of course not… I think that once you are conditioned to think something, you bring it back with you and that it deeply affects Israeli society and causes it, as our president says, to be more racist.”
Murmurs were heard in the audience: “He’s a jobnik [derogatory term for noncombat soldier], he’s a liar.” Dayan also lashed out: “You’re not the only person who was in the army. I was in the army, I have a daughter in the army. It’s demagogy. I think the guy is lying.”
Sebastian: “You think he’s lying? On the basis of what? Because you don’t like it?”
