Israeli settlers threaten Palestinian who filmed Hebron 'execution'

Israeli settlers on Friday gathered outside the home of a human rights worker in Hebron to hurl abuse at him, a day after he captured on camera an Israeli soldier's killing of a wounded Palestinian that has sparked international outcry.

Emad Abu Shamsiya, a staff member with Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, told Ma’an after settlers threatened him: “I now fear for my life and the life of my family. I’m afraid they might attack my house and do me harm.”

UN: Over 400 Palestinians displaced by Israel in 6 weeks 18-02

Over 400 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been displaced due to Israeli demolitions during the first six weeks of this year, a senior UN official said Wednesday.

Coordinator for Humanitarian and UN Development Activities for the occupied Palestinian territory Robert Piper in a statement called the number of demolitions “alarming.”

The number of Palestinians displaced in 2016 is already equivalent to over half of the total number displaced in all of 2015, the official said.

Israeli forces level large swathe of land, demolish shack near Hebron

Israeli forces on Tuesday leveled 40 dunams (9.88 acres) of land west of Hebron and demolished a tin shack in the Masafer Yatta area in the southern occupied West Bank, locals said.

Village spokesman Abdul-Rahman al-Tumazi told Ma'an that Israeli troops leveled the lands in the Suba area of the village of Idhna in order to illegaly annex it to a nearby Israeli settlement.

Al-Tumazi added that he believed the land was being leveled for the purpose of extracting stones -- considered the best in the area -- to use for construction for nearby illegal settlements.

Palestinian family regains hotel 13 years after confiscation by Israel

A Palestinian family was able to regain control of the disputed Cliff Hotel in the occupied East Jerusalem village of Abu Dis, after a decades-long battle with Israeli authorities.

The family’s lawyer Bassam Bahar, who also heads a local committee to defend Abu Dis lands, said the Ayyad family, which owns the hotel, was able to enter the hotel for the first time since Israeli forces occupied the hotel in 2003 and began using it as a watchtower, citing “security reasons.”

The Israeli authorities had previously taken over the hotel under the Israeli Absentee Property law, which effectively allows Israelis to move into property whose Palestinian owners live in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.

Bahar said that the family’s resistance against Israeli policy of “Judaization” of the area is what enabled the family to regain the property.

Israel displaces two Palestinian families

Dozens of Israeli soldiers, along with bulldozers and an officer from the Israeli civil administration, raided the villages of Khirbet Jenbah and Khirbet al-Tabban in the South Hebron Hills.

On Tuesday, in Khirbet Jenbah, Israeli forces demolished the home of Shaher Ahmed Mohammad. Israeli soldiers also confiscated a solar panel, a shed, and a sheep pen that belonged to the family.

Today, Israeli forces demolished a home belonging to Mahmoud Khalil Obaid in the nearby village of Khirbet al-Tabban. Like many other families who live in the South Hebron Hills, this is not the first time the Abu Obaid family has been targeted by the Israeli military.

Settler group wins in battle over controversial Silwan plan

In direct violation of past rulings, an Israeli council approved on Wednesday controversial plans in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan pushed by the settler organization Elad.

The Israeli National Council for Planning and Building approved a plan for Elad's Kedem project despite over a decade of appeals against the move by Palestinian residents and Israeli rights organizations.

The Silwan-based Wadi Hilweh Information Center said in a statement that the settlement project was approved after an emergency session was held at the council’s headquarters on Tuesday.

The center said Silwan residents withdrew from the session after they were treated “in a racist way.”

Israeli forces raid home of Palestinian killed by Israeli soldier, detain 2 (27-03)

Israeli forces targeted the family of Abed al-Fattah Yusri al-Sharif and detained two Palestinians during predawn raids Sunday in the occupied West Bank district of Hebron, locals said.

Local sources told Ma’an that Israeli forces raided the village of Jabal Abu Rumman and stormed the home of Khalid Yusri al-Sharif, 25, the brother of Abed al-Fattah, who was killed by an Israeli soldier earlier this week in what has been widely condemned as a brutal execution.

Israel’s “less lethal” weapons take children’s eyes and lives

Israel’s military regulations supposedly instruct soldiers not to fire rubber-coated metal bullets at women or children or above the torso.

But since October 2015, eight children have been shot in the head or neck during protests.

Two of these teenagers have lost their eyesight.

Ahmad Sharaka, a 14-year-old resident of Jalazone refugee camp, lost his life after a rubber-coated steel bullet hit him behind his left ear causing a massive brain hemorrhage that killed him within an hour of his injury.

Rubber-coated bullets are just one kind of supposedly “less lethal” weapon Israeli occupation forces and police are using with increasing frequency against Palestinian protesters and bystanders.

Beit Fajjar: six days under siege

Israeli authorities have besieged Beit Fajjar, a town south of Bethlehem in the West Bank, for six days, along with the 12,000 Palestinians that live there.

Israeli authorities imposed the siege on Thursday. The Governor of Bethlehem, Jibril al-Bakri, and Beit Fajjar residents attest that Israeli forces are collectively punishing the town for the death of two youth last week. Israeli forces’ habit of collectively punishing Palestinian civilians is in blatant violation of international law.

Jerusalem family rejects son’s body after Israeli handover, another buried

The Israeli authorities late Monday returned the bodies of two Jerusalemite Palestinians were were shot dead after allegedly carrying out attacks, one of which was rejected by family members.

Witnesses said the Lions’ Gate area of occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City where the handover took place “looked like a military barracks” as Israeli forces heightened their presence for the return of the bodies of 15-year-old Hassan Khalid Manasra and Omar Skafi, 21.

Outrage erupted when the family of 15-year-old Manasra found their son’s body frozen, in violation of a mutual agreement set up between the Israeli authorities and family members.

Israeli forces raid, confiscate items from Jenin-area university

Israeli forces overnight Monday raided the campus of the Arab American University in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and confiscated items -- including computers and flags -- from student union offices.

The university’s public relations department told Ma’an that 11 Israeli military vehicles stormed the campus grounds at 1 a.m. and broke into the office of the Dean of Students, as well as a number of offices belonging to the student union.

Youngest prisoner in Israeli jail is a 12-year-old girl

On a hilltop overlooking the town of Halhul from the West, the al-Wawi family home looks unremarkable at first. A row of potted plants sit on a low wall above a plot of barren grape trees out front.

A large plastic poster, hanging from the roof, displays a photograph of some of the family's young daughters.

Among the smiling faces is 12 year-old D*, who no longer lives in the family home.

Instead, she is detained at the Hasharon prison in Israel.

On February 18 she was sentenced - in a plea bargain - to four and a half months in prison, after being charged with attempted manslaughter and possession of a knife.

Israeli forces assault prisoners in Etzion detention center

Palestinian prisoners in Israel's Etzion detention center were “aggressively” assaulted while under Israeli custody, the Palestinian Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs said on Thursday.

The committee said Israeli soldiers raided the prisoners’ cells and forced them to leave before their rooms were subjected to a “humiliating” inspection. The groups were later forced to crowd together into two rooms.

5 Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike

Five Palestinians are currently on a hunger strike in Israeli jails in protest of solitary confinement and Israel’s policy of administrative detention -- internment without charge or trial.

Amjad al-Najjar, the director of the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society’s office in Hebron said in a press statement Saturday that Sami Janazrah has been on hunger strike since March 3, Imad al-Batran has been on strike since March 15, and Abd-al-Rahim has been on strike since March 24, all in protest of administrative detention.

They were joined in their strike Saturday by Zayid Al-Basisi who is sentenced to life plus 55 years, and Nahar Al-Sadi who was sentenced to four life sentences plus 20 years. They are both protesting solitary confinement.

Neuer Bericht von HaMoked und B’Tselem enthüllt routinemäßige Misshandlung palästinensischer Häftlinge während der Verhöre durch die ISA

In den letzten Monaten berichteten die israelischen Medien umfänglich über den Missbrauch und die Demütigungen von Seiten der Vernehmungsbeamten der Israelischen Sicherheitsagentur (ISA) gegenüber den jüdischen Häftlingen, die in den Brandanschlag in Duma verwickelt waren. Die Verhörmethoden, die mit Schmerzen und Leid verbunden sind, sind unakzeptabel und rechtswidrig; es gibt keine Rechtfertigung für ihre Anwendung. Eine engagierte kritische, öffentliche Debatte ist zweifelsohne gut, nachdem dies ans Tageslicht gekommen ist. Aber die tägliche Misshandlung, Demütigung und Folter der ISA gegenüber den palästinensischen Häftlingen wird von den Medien und auch von der Öffentlichkeit mit Geringschätzung und Gleichgültigkeit aufgenommen.

Chief Rabbi Urges Israeli Soldiers to Kill Palestinian Assailants, Not Worry About Court or Chief of Staff

Israel's Sephardi chief rabbi said Saturday that it was a religious imperative to kill armed Palestinian assailants, and urged soldiers not to be concerned by the scrutiny of the High Court or the army chief of staff on the matter.

“If someone comes to kill you, you kill him first. Don’t start being afraid with all kinds… that they’ll make about him later in the High Court of Justice, or that some chief of staff will come and say something different.. . It deters them too. The moment a terrorist knows that if he comes with a knife he won’t return alive, that will deter them. That’s why it’s a mitzvah to kill him,” Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef said during his weekly Torah lesson.

The incredible story of 18 cows that became Israel's most wanted fugitives and symbols of Palestinian resistance.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has borne witness to numerous tragedies but in The Wanted 18, an award-winning and astonishing true story, animation, claymation and interviews highlight an absurd footnote in the history of the bitter foes.

Set in the late 1980s against the backdrop of the first Intifada, The Wanted 18 begins with residents from the predominantly Christian Arab village of Beit Sahour in the occupied West Bank deciding to buy 18 cows and produce their own milk as a co-operative.

Wanting self-sufficiency and an alternative to Israeli goods, the residents, many of whom have never seen a cow, smuggle the herd into their village and begin to learn the fine art of milking.

Their venture is so successful that the collective farm becomes a landmark and the cows local celebrities - until the Israeli army takes note and declares the farm "a threat to the national security of the state of Israel".

Consequently, the dairy is forced to go underground, the cows continuing to produce their "Intifada milk" with the Israeli army in relentless pursuit.

Economic policies entrench Israeli occupation

The Palestinian economy has not been independent in centuries. Like the economies of other Arab countries, the Palestinian economy was subject to foreign control and looting for four centuries under Ottoman rule. Next, British colonial rule lorded over Palestine, until the Nakba uprooted Palestinians from their land in 1948. Following Israel's occupation of Palestine, Israeli colonial powers took control of the Palestinian economy. All of this made the already weak Palestinian economy an easy target for manipulation and destruction. Israeli management of the Palestinian economy has created deep structural disparities in Palestinian society.

Palestinian journalists bear a heavy burden

Deception remains one of Israel's primary weapons in influencing local and international public opinion. Claiming “Palestinian incitement,” this week Israeli security authorities shut down the television station Palestine Today in the West Bank town of al-Bireh. Israel claims that through its programming, Palestine Today “incites” public confrontation with the Israeli occupation and thus makes it difficult to quell the Third Intifada. Such a justification is the epitome of Israeli deception: it suggests that the Palestinian people need television to educate them on and inspire them to resist the occupation.

Der palästinensische Journalistenverband verurteilt Israels Schließung des palästinensischen Fernsehsenders „Palestine Today“

Der palästinensische Journalistenverband verurteilte am Freitag (d. 11.3.) die gewaltsame Übernahme der Agentur des Satellitenfernsehsender Palestine Today im besetzten Westjordanland, die militärischen Schließungsbefehle und die Verhaftung von drei Journalisten.

Palestinian support for knife attacks on decline, poll finds

Popular Palestinian support for stabbing attacks against Israelis is beginning to ebb, though most Palestinians still back a return to an armed intifada, a respected research center found in a poll published Monday.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) said support for the use of knives had dropped from 67 percent last December to 58 percent this month -- including 44 percent in the occupied West Bank, where most Palestinian attackers have come from.

"There is a notable drop in the West Bank in the support for knifing attacks, due, it seems, to a rising perception in its inefficacy," the research center said.

Since a wave of unrest swept the occupied Palestinian territory last October, Israeli forces have shot dead more than 200 Palestinians, most after they allegedly attempted to attack Israelis and most armed only with knives. The attacks killed nearly 30 Israelis in the same period.

Decades on, Israel tries to bury its darkest times

One might expect that only historians would care to revisit the 1948 war that created Israel. And yet the debate about what constitutes truth and myth from that period still provokes raw emotions.

Much rests on how those events are reconstructed, not least because the shock waves have yet to subside. Israelis fear, and Palestinians crave, a clearer picture of the past because it would powerfully illuminate the present. It might also influence the international community’s proposed solutions for the conflict.

That is why the unearthing of an Israeli soldier’s letter from 1948 detailing what was probably the war’s worst massacre – one long buried by Israel – is of more than historical significance.

It comes as Moshe Yaalon, the defence minister, this week accused Breaking the Silence, an Israeli organisation that exposes military abuses, of “treason” for collecting evidence from the army’s current whistle-blowers.

Western understandings of the 1948 war – what Palestinians term their Nakba, or catastrophe – are dominated by an enduring Israeli narrative. Israel’s army, it is said, abided by a strict moral code. Palestinians left not because of Israel’s actions but on the orders of Arab leaders.
