Todos eran miembros del clan Baker, una estirpe de pescadores que parece tan antigua como el cercano Mediterráneo. Hamed Baker, de 56 años y padre de Zakaría, fuma sin parar junto a su hermano Mohamed, de 53 y padre de Ismail. No parecen quedarles ya muchas lágrimas 10 meses después de la tragedia. “Ahora que se aproxima Ramadán las mujeres y los niños de la casa están muy nerviosos”, intentaba justificarse la semana pasada Hamed con aire distante. Los dos hermanos no esperaban que Israel fuera a autoinculparse por la muerte de los cuatro niños cuando anunció su informe.

' This is an insight into motivations of ten committed peace activists on both sides of the conflict at a specific moment in time. Every peaceworker and activist we met the same question: ‘What is your motivation to work towards peace?’ Working as a peace activist might not always be a rewarding job. Long working hours, small pay or none at all, little recognition, many setbacks and friends and family who might disagree with what you do. Nablus: Surrounded by Israeli settlements - Features. On December 6, Israeli settlers destroyed a Palestinian car and vandalised a house in Jalud, a village in the West Bank's Nablus governorate.
Across the property, the settlers had reportedly scrawled the words "price tag". The term "price tag" refers to attacks carried out by settlers against Palestinians as revenge for Israeli government actions against settlers, such as demolitions or forced evacuations of illegal outposts. Mass Palestinian grave found in Tel Aviv - Middle East. The remains of dozens of Palestinians killed by Israelis in fighting during the war of 1948 which led to the creation of the state of Israel have been found in a mass grave in Tel Aviv's Jaffa district.
An official at the Muslim cemetery there told AFP news agency that the grisly find occurred on Wednesday when ground subsided as workers carried out renovations, revealing six chambers full of skeletons. Jaffa fisherman Atar Zeinab, 80, says that as a teenager during the final months of fighting in 1948, he helped to collect the Arab dead in the area south of Jaffa and bring them for hasty burial in the cemetery, the area's main graveyard.

From paper to pulse, I write the story buried deep in her consciousness to affirm her truth. Without her, it never would be written at all. I study the lines on my grandmother’s face knowing behind every one there is a timeless story of unmitigated pain, survival and hope. This story, where the continued dispossession, suffering and oppression of the Palestinian people began, is one that refuses to be silenced or forgotten.

Nora Lester Murad. Thirsting for Justice - Join the Campaign for Palestinian Water Rights. Institute for Palestine Studies - Home. Institute for Palestine Studies - Home. By Alain GreshThis essay addresses the Palestine question within a European context.
After reflecting on why Palestine has been widely embraced as a “universal cause,” the author explores its relationship to the “Jewish question” in the changed context following World War II: Whereas prior to the war it was the Jews who were perceived as a threat to European civilization, today it is the Muslim immigrants who have the scapegoat role. Also discussed are philosemitism (and its manifestations in the West) and anti-Semitism (as it relates to the Arab world), and how these phenomena have been impacted by the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The essay concludes with “utopian musings” on possibilities for a future Palestinian-Israeli peace. ”IF ONE DEAD ISRAELI is worth several dead Palestinians, how many Congolese corpses are needed for a Gazan shroud?” KADAITCHA.

Land of Hope and Dreams by Amnon Gutman and Kim Frumin. Land of hope and dreams In June 2002, the government of Israel decided to erect a physical barrier to separate Israel and the West Bank in an attempt to minimize the entry of Palestinian terrorists into the country. This has partially solved today's terrorist infiltration problem but has caused grief and pain to innocent Palestinians in every area in which it was constructed, along the 1967 Green Line. Since 2009, I have been documenting the movement and livelihood of Palestinian people, on their way into Israel, via gaps and loopholes in the separation barrier, in the southern region of Mt.

Book review: ‘In Your Eyes a Sandstorm’ Bedouin citizens of Israel from al-Arakib (Photo: Mya Guarnieri) The Palestinian Authority’s United Nations bid for statehood is, in a word, divisive.

I came across this great documentary called “In Search of Palestine” from a friend that was aired on the BBC in 1998. It is about the return of Edward Said to Palestine for the first time since his exile in 1948.
For anyone interested in revisiting the pre-Second Intifada Oslo period, it is a spectacular look at the situation on the ground with the preeminent Palestinian scholar of his time. It also includes interviews with a number of interesting personalities including Israel Shahak, Azmi Bishara, Mahmoud Darwish, Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, Daniel Barenboim, and others. For those who don’t know Edward Said, who passed away in 2003, he was a Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and author of several renowned and influential books, including Orientalism.

Photograph: Graham Turner for the Observer The Co-operative Group has become the first major European supermarket group to end trade with companies that export produce from illegal Israeli settlements.
The UK’s fifth biggest food retailer and its largest mutual business, the Co-op took the step as an extension of its existing policy which had been not to source produce from illegal settlements that have been built on Palestinian territories in the West bank. Now the retail and insurance giant has taken it one step further by “no longer engaging with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements”. The decision will hit four companies and contracts worth some £350,000. Original Link:
