Bekentenis in documentaire

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:54:13 +0200

Documentary Seven Deadly Myths is an exploration of the myths and realities of the 1948 war and the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem. It features veterans of the war, as well as historians who fought to reveal the true history of the events that took place in 1947-1949 and led to the creation of the state of Israel. 4-8-2010

The Seven Myths
1) The Zionists accepted the UN partition resolution and planned for peace
2) The Arabs rejected the partition and launched the war
3) The Palestinians ï¬‚ed voluntarily intending reconquest
4) The Arab states had united to expel the Jews from Palestine
5) The Arab invasion made war inevitable
6) A defenseless Israel faced destruction by the Arab Goliath
7) Israel subsequently sought peace but no Arab leader responded.
Synopsis
My story begins in the 1980s, as the right wing government of Menachem Begin rose to power and Israel launched its offensive attack on Lebanon. Encountering for the first time a mass resistance to the decision to begin the 1982 war, Begin set out on an aggressive public relations campaign, reshaping both global and domestic views of Israel. It was during this time that a handful of historians began researching recently declassified documents, hidden for decades in Israeli, Zionist, and military archives. Their findings unleashed a wave of controversy throughout the country.
The historians were attacked by Israel's academic world, but they persisted to analyze and publish

SHOULD PEOPLE BOYCOTT ISRAEL? and HAS ISRAEL MOVED TO THE RIGHT? Interview with Omar Barghouti

Omar Barghouti explains the aims of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement

Transcript
PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay. I'm in Ramallah, Palestine. And now joining us from ["la-ROOJ"] Café in Ramallah is Omar Barghouti. He's a founding member of the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Thanks for joining us.
OMAR BARGHOUTI, PALESTINIAN CAMPAIGN FOR THE ACADEMIC AND CULTURAL BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL: Thank you.
JAY: So what is this boycott about?
BARGHOUTI: The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel actually is one part of a general Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS for short. We started Academic and Cultural Boycott in 2004, and the general Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign was in 2005. The BDS campaign, from the very first moment, was endorsed by more than 170 of the main groups in Palestinian civil society, including the major trade unions, women's unions, political forces, NGOs, and so on and so forth. So this is a movement that has as close to a consensus as you can get, and it's not just among Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Gaza, including East Jerusalem, but also Palestinians inside Israel, and the largest component of the Palestinian people, those in exile in the Diaspora.
JAY: And specifically what you're asking people outside of Is

In 2007 reisde Ali B met United Civilians for Peace naar Israel en de bezette Palestijnse gebieden. Met Darryl in zijn kielzog zag Ali met eigen ogen hoe het écht is om daar te leven, vooral voor de kinderen. Filmmaker Jasper Faber volgde Ali op de voet en maakte er een prachtige documentaire van. In de schaduw van de zon laat zien hoe het leven doorgaat, ondanks het geweld, de Muur en de bezetting. Een film voor iedereen die verder wil kijken dan het dagelijkse nieuws en die net als Ali B wil zien hoe het leven is, in de schaduw van de zon. 27-8-2010

This powerful report looks at the alleged Israeli war crimes committed during the Gaza War. We show blindfolded children being used as human shields alongside innocent civilians and medics being targeted.
Mounir's eyes search around the old house as he recounts the events of 16th January, when a rocket fired from an unmanned aerial vehicle killed his sister, her husband and four of her children. The scene he says will never leave him. 'We found Mohammed lying there, cut in half. Ahmed was in three pieces; Wahid was totally burnt his eyes were gone. Wahid's father was dead. Nour had been decapitated. We couldn't see her head anywhere.' The attack on this home in Gaza City is just one of more than a dozen incidents recorded by Amnesty International where Israel's unmanned aerial vehicles killed civilians.

Course Zionist editing Wikipedia

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:26:16 +0200

Wikipedia editing courses launched by Zionist groups. Israeli settlers expand campaign to manipulate entries on Wikipedia.
Since the earliest days of the worldwide web, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has seen its rhetorical counterpart fought out on the talkboards and chatrooms of the internet.
Now two Israeli groups seeking to gain the upper hand in the online debate have launched a course in "Zionist editing" for Wikipedia, the online reference site.
Yesha Council, representing the Jewish settler movement, and the rightwing Israel Sheli (My I srael) movement, ran their first workshop this week in Jerusalem, teaching participants how to rewrite and revise some of the most hotly disputed pages of the online reference site.
"We don't want to change Wikipedia or turn it into a propaganda arm," says Naftali Bennett, director of the Yesha Council. "We just want to show the other side. People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day."
Wikipedia is one of the world's most popular websites, and its 16m entries are open for anyone to edit, rewrite or even erase. The problem, according to Ayelet Shaked of Israel Sheli, is that online, pro-Israeli activists are vastly outnumbered by pro-Palestinian voices. "We don't want to give this arena to the other side," she said. "But we are so few and they are so many. People in the US and Europe never hear about Israel's side, with all the co

Jameels story

Hebron terreur van soldaten op video.
Een 16-jarige Palestijnse jongen uit Hebron. Zonder reden werd hij bij een checkpoint geboeid, geblinddoekt en geslagen door Israëlische soldaten. Daarna werd hij geslagen door kolonisten, die hem ook met stenen bekogelden. An issue of intimidation. Settlers and soldiers enjoy almost complete impunity for their behaviour.

---------------------------------------------
[RAMALLAH, 30 April 2010] - Today, DCI-Palestine is launching a short film which tells the story of Jameel, a 16-year-old boy from Tel Rumeida, Hebron. On 13 July 2009, Jameel was detained and beaten by soldiers near his home for no apparent reason, tied and blindfolded at a checkpoint nearby and allowed to be beaten by settlers and soldiers as well as have stones thrown at him, while his parents watched on nearby but were prevented from helping him.
Over the past two years, DCI-Palestine has documented 40 such incidents, in which Palestinian children were shot or physically assaulted, in an unprovoked manner, by settlers or soldiers. None of the victims who filed complaints with the Israeli authorities received notice of whether or not the complaint was followed up. This demonstrates the overall culture of impunity prevalent inside Israel with regards to crimes against Palestinian civilians. According to data released by Israeli human rights organisation, Yesh Din, in 2008 and 2010, respectively, just 8% of investigations into incidents against Palestinian civili

Ik ben Israel

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:44:13 +0200

Ik ben Israël (Dutch Version) I am Israel.

Ik ben Israël - Ik kwam naar een land zonder volk voor een volk zonder land. De mensen die daar toevallig waren, hadden geen recht om hier te zijn, en mijn volk toonde hen dat ze moesten vertrekken of sterven, maakte 480 Palestijnse dorpen met de grond gelijk,
wiste hun geschiedenis uit.
Ik ben Israël - sommige van mijn onderdanen hebben massamoorden begaan en werden later premiers die mij moesten vertegenwoordigen. In 1948 had Menachem Begin de leiding over een eenheid die de inwoners van Deir Yassin had afgeslacht, waaronder 100 mannen, vrouwen en kinderen.
In 1953 leidde Ariel Sharon het bloedbad op de inwoners van Qibya en zorgde ervoor dat onze bondgenoten in 1982 rond de 2000 vluchtelingen konden afslachten in de vluchtelingenkampen van Sabra en Shatilla.
Ik ben Israël - gekerfd in 1948 uit 78% van Palestijnse grond, onteigende haar bewoners en verving hen door Joden uit Europa en andere delen van de wereld.
Terwijl de inheemse bevolking, wier families duizenden jaren op dit land geleefd hebben, geen toestemming krijgt om terug te keren, zijn Joden uit de hele wereld welkom voor direct burgerschap.
Ik ben Israël - in 1967 slikte ik het resterende gedeelte van Palestina in - de Westelijke Jordaanoever en Gaza - en plaatste hun bewoners onder een onderdrukkend militair bewind, controleer en verneder hen in elk aspect van hun dagelijks leven.
Uiteindelijk, moeten ze de boodschap begrijpen dat ze

Soldiers resort to violence against journalists in West Bank: Troops apparently acted improperly, IDF says
VIDEO - Haaretz daily reported Chaim Levinson, who covers settler activity, was assaulted by IDF soldiers Wednesday just outside the West Bank city of Jericho.

Levinson was covering the rightist march on the city and clashed with IDF soldiers, who tried to stop him from covering the event and grabbed his cell phone. The event was caught on tape by Channel 10 reporters.
Video courtesy of Channel 10

According to Levinson, the incident took place after several settlers were able to make their way to a synagogue just north of Jericho. Levinson, along with the photographer Emil Salman and Channel 10 reporter Roee Sharon, spotted IDF reservists trying to detain several settlers.

The settlers resisted arrest, which prompted the three to begin filming the incident. The soldiers, they claimed, tried to force them to stop.

Salman told Ynet that the soldiers did not allow them to photograph the settlers being transferred into vehicles, even from a far, adding that when he climbed up a nearby hill, he was followed by a soldier who shoved

THE PARANORMAL STATE WE KNOW AS ISRAEL

10-8-2010
The Free Dictionary defines the word ‘paranormal’ as Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation.
Wikipedia elaborates with Paranormal is a general term (coined ca. 1915–1920) that designates experiences that lie outside “the range of normal experience or scientific explanation or that indicates phenomena that are understood to be outside of science’s current ability to explain or measure. Paranormal phenomena are distinct from certain hypothetical entities, such as dark matter and dark energy, insofar as paranormal phenomena are inconsistent with the world as already understood through empirical observation coupled with scientific methodology.
Why would I refer to Israel as a paranormal state? Let’s look at the FACTS….

National anthem of Palestine

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:12:39 +0200

National anthem of Palestine.
Following the First World War and the occupation of the country by the British, the principal Allied and associated powers drafted the Mandate which was formally approved by the League of Nations in 1922. By the power granted under the mandate, Britain ruled Palestine between 1920 and 1948, a period referred to as the "British Mandate." - The preamble of the mandate declared:
"Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."[135]
Not all were satisfied with the mandate. Some of the Arabs felt that Britain was violating the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence and the understanding of the Arab Revolt. Some wanted a unification with Syria: In February 1919 several Moslem and Christian groups from Jaffa and Jerusalem met and adopted a platform which endorsed unity with Syria and opposition to Zionism (this is sometime called the First Palestinian National Congress). A letter was sent to Damascus authorizing Faisal to represen

Bezettingen zijn geen goede omgeving voor kinderen om op te groeien. Het doet pijn om te zien hoe de 5-jarige Khaled Jabari ongeveer hysterisch wordt als zijn vader Fadel door de politie wordt afgevoerd in een four wheel drive wegens diefstal van water (vermoedelijk zijn eigen water, maar dat is een ander verhaal). De scène werd gefilmd in de buurt van Hebron waar dit soort taferelen - meestal gepaard aan vernieling van waterbronnen, gewas en irrigatiesysteemen - op dit moment vaak voorkomen.
Hashem Abu Maria van Defense for Children die de video heeft gezien, zei dat het jongetje ongetwijfeld moet hebben gedacht dat zijn vader nooit meer terug zou komen.

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:37:46 +0200

THE RISING NON-VIOLENT MOVEMENT IN PALESTINE
A speech by Dr. Mustafa Barghouti on Palestinian political dynamics and Middle East peace.
Mustafa Barghouti was born in Jerusalem, 1954. He is a leader of the Palestinian National Initiative, founded in 2002 and a member of Palestinian Legislative Council, former Minister of Information, unity government, March-June 2007.
DR. MUSTAFA BARGHOUTI, SECRETARY GENERAL, PALESTINIAN NATIONAL INITIATIVE: I think it's my duty to present to you the reality of the situation in Palestine, because I believe you have the right to know the truth. It is especially important to do that, given the fact that, unfortunately, most of the media outlets do not present to you the reality as they should, and in many cases, as I found in my work, most of the Western media is definitely influenced by a certain narrative, usually the Israeli narrative, when describing the situation. So, of course, when I present that to you, you're not going to see that I'm neutral. I'm not neutral, and I don't claim that.

I am a Palestinian who's defending [the] Palestinian cause, but who is defending justice in the region for everybody. But I will try to be as objective as I could. But presenting the truth, and the reality, too, is very important, because as once a great writer and feminist said, Virginia Woolf, she said nothing has happened till it's been described. And there are big parts of our history that were lost because they were not described, and we've prom

Ethnic cleansing in Negev

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:15:24 +0200

Ethnic cleansing in the Israeli Negev.
The razing of a Bedouin village by Israeli police shows how far the state will go to achieve its aim of Judaising the Negev region.

A menacing convoy of bulldozers was heading back to Be'er Sheva as I drove towards al-Arakib, a Bedouin village located not more than 10 minutes from the city. Once I entered the dirt road leading to the village I saw scores of vans with heavily armed policemen getting ready to leave. Their mission, it seems, had been accomplished.
The signs of destruction were immediately evident. I first noticed the chickens and geese running loose near a bulldozed house, and then saw another house and then another one, all of them in rubble. A few children were trying to find a shaded spot to hide from the scorching desert sun, while behind them a stream of black smoke rose from the burning hay. The sheep, goats and the cattle were nowhere to be seen – perhaps because the police had confiscated them.
Scores of Bedouin men were standing on a yellow hill, sharing their experiences from the early morning hours, while all around them uprooted olive trees lay on the ground. A whole village comprising between 40 and 45 houses had been completely razed in less than three hours.
I suddenly experienced deja vu: an image of myself walking in the rubbles of a destroyed village somewhere on the outskirts of the Lebanese city of Sidon emerged. It was over 25 years ago, during my service in the Israeli paratroopers. But in

The Israeli government has banned plans by the Palestinian Authority to build pipes and pumps to treat and divert wastewater away from the affected villages.

Hasbara of brainwash?

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:43:04 +0200

Een ding is zeker: Israël ziet graag dat jonge joden op bezoek komen. onder het mom van 'culturele onderdompeling' willen ze vooral jonge joden warm maken voor het Israëlische leger.
Jongeren die erg vatbaar zijn voor allerlei rethoriek. Vooral de jongeren hebben weinig of geen benul van de geschiedenis, kregen al heel wat desinformatie te slikken , de Midden-Oostengeschiedenis is een zwart-witverhaal van goeden (het arme volk van Israël) omringd met (Arabische vijanden) de slechten.
William van Laeken (Panorama Canvas) leidt de reportage in: de organisatie van de kampen is een ZIONISTISCHE organisatie. Je weet dus dat je je aan een Israëlische propaganda-offensief mag verwachten. Hij zegt ook duidelijk dat die jongeren in Israël van hot naar her geloodsd worden. Van de Golan-hoogte tot en met de obligate Klaagmuur, zegt WVL
Dat die joodse jongeren dikwijls tegen hun zin naar zo'n onderdompelingskamp gaan, "Sorry, je gaat, je kamp is al betaald..." is al een aanfluiting van de kinderrechten.
Het ronselen van minderjarigen voor een leger = het ronselen van kindsoldaten. Israël hanteert een soort 'stagiair-statuut' voor die minderjarige soldaten, maar vergeet dat je geen minderjarigen in gevaarlijke omstandigheden mag inzetten. Die under age soldaten worden dikwijls als kanonnenvlees ingezet in net die gevaarlijkste situaties.
Is deze reportage hasbara? Neen, de reportage laat duidelijk zien hoe die jongeren gebrainwashed worden.

In Israel, an Arab man has been sentenced to 18 months for 'rape by deception'. Sabbar Kashur tricked a woman into having sex with him, by claiming to be Jewish. He plans to appeal the decision. And as RT's Paula Slier reports, even couples who choose to have interfaith relationships face hostility. 22-7-2010

To shoot an elephant

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:51:53 +0200

Bijna 2 uur durende video. An eye witness account from Gaza. December 27th, 2008, Operation Cast Lead. 21 days shooting elephants. Urgent, insomniac, dirty, shuddering images from the only foreigners who decided and managed to stay embedded inside Gaza strip ambulances, with Palestinian civilians

Sinopsis
"...afterwards, of course, there were endless discussions about the shooting of the elephant. The owner was furious, but he was only an Indian and could do nothing. Besides, legally I had done the right thing, for a mad elephant has to be killed, like a mad dog, if it's owner fails to control it".
George Orwell defined a way of witnessing Asia that still remains valid. "To shoot an elephant" is an eye witness account from The Gaza Strip. December 27th, 2008, Operation Cast Lead. 21 days shooting elephants. Urgent, insomniac, dirty, shuddering images from the only foreigners who decided and managed to stay embedded inside Gaza strip ambulances, with Palestinian civilians.
George Orwell: “Shooting an elephant” was originally published in New Writing in 1948.

Context
Gaza Strip has been under siege since June 2007, when Israel declared it an "enemy entity". A group of international activists organized a siege-breaking movement, the Free Gaza movement. Thanks to their efforts, and despite the Israeli ban on foreign correspondents and humanitarian aid workers to cover and witness operation "Cast Lead" on the ground, a

New York Times: a starting point is simply an acknowledgment that Israel’s West Bank policy is profoundly unfair...

Here’s my latest video, from near the southern Hebron Hills, from my recent trip to the Middle East. I try to make the argument that while we can disagree about details, about history, about solutions, a starting point is simply an acknowledgment that Israel’s West Bank policy is profoundly unfair. But somehow I imagine that there will be disagreement about that as well — and go ahead and record your disagreements here.

Despite claims from the Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, and the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that Jerusalem's real estate market is free and open to anyone regardless of race or religion, a new study shows Palestinians do not have equal access to property in Jerusalem.

Cistern Demolition

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:51:44 +0200

Al-Baqa'a Valley.
Last week Israeli authorities removed irrigation pipes from Al Baqa'a Valley, and this week they also demolished a rain water cistern. ---
When international peace activists from Christian Peacemaker Teams arrived in the area at 9:30am, the large bagger that had been used to break up the concrete of the cistern was just leaving the site. The driver of a large tractor lifted scoops full of rocks and dumped them into the demolished cistern. Also, workers cut and disposed of irrigation pipes laid in two fields. Israeli border police demolished a rainwater cistern and removed irrigation pipes from several Palestinian fields in Al Beqa’a Valley just east of Hebron on July 14, 2010, the second day of incidents in the area this month.
The fields each measured 10 dunams (approximately 40 acres). One was a field of grape vines and the other field had tomatoes planted under grape vines. In addition to dismantling the irrigation pipes, the workers also cut the twines that were holding up tomato plants. At least seven families will be affected by this destruction, in total about 50 people.

Inside Israel's 'buffer zone'
By Nicole Johnston

Palestinian farmers in Gaza risk their lives to harvest their fields.
13-7-2010
Saturday morning in Gaza. We were crouched down in the middle of Israel’s so-called buffer zone, listening to Israeli gunfire - directed at us.
They were warning shots - over our heads. But still close enough to convince all of us it was not a good idea to hang around.
With two film crews, four cameras, four international volunteers and a foreign journalist present, I foolishly thought that perhaps the Israeli army would not open fire inside the buffer zone.
That perhaps they would drive up in their jeeps, take a look and then head off.
But the experience of the Mavi Mamara, when Israeli soldiers killed nine activists, should have taught me that the presence of foreigners and media is no deterrent when it comes to the

'Al is de Israëlische leugen nog zo snel, de waarheid achterhaald hem wel'. Het slachtoffer wordt weer geslachtofferd. Er is maar één middel tegen opgewassen: Boycot, desinvesteer en leg sancties op aan Israël. (Paul Lamp)
With no proper acces to Gaza, truth became the first casualty. Between the lines, set by the zionistic lobby, the real story can be disltilled. (H.)

Is what has been presented on our screens and in our papers a true reflection of events on the ground in Gaza? And how do these reports differ to those aired in other countries?
With reporters unable to enter Gaza, attempted media manipulation from both sides and strict regulations governing what images that can be shown on British TV, Jon Snow asks a range of journalists from at home and abroad about the challenges of getting the full story.
Featuring images that haven't before been aired on mainstream television, Jon also examines the difference between the coverage at home and that in the US, Europe and the Middle East. He compares the coverage available on terrestrial channels with satellite TV and the internet and investigates the extent to which some British Muslims are by-passing the mainstream British media and looking elsewhere for their information.

Daughter of Mossad Chief: I Refuse to Enlist in the Israeli Military.

I refuse to take part in the war crimes committed by my country. Violence will not bring any kind of solution, and I shall not commit violence, come what may.
Omer Goldman, age 19, Tel Aviv
First Prison Sentence: 22nd Sept. - 10th Oct. 2008 (18 days)
Second Prison Sentence: 12th - 24th Oct. 2008 (10 days)
Omer Goldman, has had to confront the values of her own family. She is the daughter of the former deputy head of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service and who is still considered one of the most powerful men in the Israeli security system. Omer, without her fathers permission visited a Palestinian town in the West Bank and at a check-point, alongside Palestinians, her supposed enemies, was fired upon by Israeli soldiers, We were sitting by the roadside talking and soldiers came along and after a few seconds they received an order and fired gas grenades and rubber bullets at us. Then it struck me, to my astonishment, that the soldiers were following an order without thinking. For the first time in my life, an Israeli soldier raised his weapon and fired at me.
Although, not surprisingly, her father does not support her decision to refuse, he still supports her as a daughter. He and I have very similar characters. I, too, fight to the end for what I believe in. But we are opposites ideologically.
In her declaration of refusal she stated:

VIDEO Norman Finkelstein: Results, Not Rhetoric.
Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussing their countries' foreign relations resembles two lovers discussing their future together. Though they have squabbled in the past over trivial things (things like settlement expansion that most other countries deem flagrant violations of international law), their July 6th meeting at the White House showed that their "unbreakable bond" cannot be shaken. Norman Finkelstein joins us in the studio to report that one should judge the alleged "peace process" with results, not rhetoric. Obama has certainly given enough lip service to settlement moratoriums, proximity talks, and direct talks, but what are the results? Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, there are three times as many settlers and Israel has annexed 42% of Palestinian land for even more expansion. Though Obama waxes eloquently about "direct negotiations," there are no signs of Israel withdrawing to the 1967 borders that would only begin to indicate a successful peace process. 9-7-2010

Bio
Osama Hamdan is the top representative of Hamas in Lebanon and is a member of the organization's politburo. Hamdan was born in the Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian refugee family that fled the village of al-Batani al-Sharqi during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Hamdan worked at the Hamas office in Tehran as assistant to then Hamas representative Imad Alami from 1992-93. He became Hamas' official representative in Iran in 1994, serving in that post until 1998. In 1998, Hamdan was appointed as Hamas representative in Lebanon, a post he still holds. In 2004, he served as Hamas' spokesman in Cairo during a dialogue between Palestinian factions.

Spreading lies about activists in the Westbank

More IDF Lies about Israeli Activists in the West Bank

Israeli troops arrest Israeli activists Yonathan Shapira and Matan Cohen in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh. The footage directly contradicts IDF claims that Shapira and Cohen were "rioters" who "attacked" a soldier.

Children confront IDF soldiers in Nabi Salih. 2 July 2010
4-7-2010
During the weekly protest yesterday in the West Bank village of Nabi Salih, two Israeli demonstrators were violently arrested by IDF soliders. These activists, Matan Cohen and Yonathan Shapria, were standing among a group of children and other Palestinian and Israeli demonstrators when the army made a brash decision to arrest them.
After the arrest, the IDF Spokesman’s unit tweeted, “2 arrested rioters in Nabi Salih who attacked an IDF soldier now in Israeli Police custody, the soldier is uninjured”
Max Blumenthal and I were in Nabi Salih documenting the demonstration. Max’s footage from the arrest shows that neither Matan or Yoanathan were behaving in a dangerous or violent way. The IDF commander in Nabi Salih made the arbitrary decision to arrest these two activists because they were asking why the IDF was firing tear gas at children and then mocked his “brave soldiers”. Max’s account of the day can be found here.

A Festival Of Lights

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:19:17 +0200

The first in a series of poems written during the 08/09 assault on Gaza.
GAZA: by Suheir Hammad.
A great miracle happened here
a festival of lights
a casting of lead upon children
an army feasting on epiphany
I know nothing under the sun over the wall no one mentions
some must die wrapped in floral petroleum blanket
no coverage
I have come to every day Armageddon
a ladder left unattended
six candles burn down a house
a horse tied to smoke
some must die to send a signal
Flat line scream live stream river a memory longer than life spans
the living want to die in their country
No open doors no open seas no open
hands full of heart five daughters wrapped in white
Each day jihad
each day faith over fear
each day a mirror of fire
the living want to die with their families
The girl loses limbs her brother gathers arms
some must die for not dying
Children on hospital floor mother beside
them the father in shock this is my family
I have failed them this is my family I did
not raise their heads I have buried them
my family what will I do now my family is bread
one fish one people cut into pieces
There is a thirst thefts life
there is a hunger a winter within winter
Some must die to bring salvation
i have come to end times always present
The woman lost parents her children and screams
my sister I have lost my sister I want to die
my sister's eyes were honey her voice mine
I can't face this only god only god my sister

In the memory of those who fell
Their story we'll always tell
Heroes and martyrs for the cause of peace
In the memory of those who died
Nine names are glorified
We will continue until Gaza's release
For the mothers and children living desperately
In the largest concentration camp in history
We're sailing on the Freedom Flotilla
For the sake of justice we'll be facing the killers
We're armed with nothing but the will to bring peace
To break the siege and seal a victory
We will sail on
Sail on, Sail on
Freedom Flotilla
There will be no compromise
On the crimes that we despise
Years of siege can't break the people's will
They can sink our vessels
But we'll go on and wrestle
Against the forces who are trained to kill
For the fathers and brothers living steadfastly
In the largest concentration camp in history
We're sailing on the Freedom Flotilla
This is our fleet, our non-violent guerilla
We stand for the right of everyone to be free
And an end to crimes against humanity
We will sail on
Sail on, Sail on

A Voyage of Life and Death.
In the early hours of Monday, May 31, the Israeli navy intercepted a flotilla of boats carrying thousands of tonnes of aid to Gaza. Nine passengers on the Mavi Marmara - the flotilla's largest boat - were killed. This much we know. In the aftermath of the event, accounts from both sides have diverged wildly. Israel claims that it acted in self-defence against a group of "violent extremists" linked to al-Qaeda and Hamas, intent on breaching the military blockade of Gaza. The activists say they were frightened for their lives after being shot at from helicopters in the dark of night, their raised white flag ignored. They say Israel's attack on their ship in international waters was unexpected and disproportionate. Examining claim and counter claim, A Vourney of Life and Death includes an exclusive interview with the captain of the Mavi Marmara, those on board the ships and previously unseen footage.

ILWU members refused to cross picketline - citing "health & safety" provisions of their contract. Management demanded "instant arbitration." The arbitrator took a look at the picketlines at each gate to the SSA Terminal and ruled that ILWU members were justified in refusing to cross.
All dockworkers were sent home with FULL PAY.

Na de bevlogen toespraak van Catherine Ashton, de hoge

een correcte manier verwoordt, en de noodzaak van de opheffing van de
blokkade onderstreept, volgen de Nederlandse parlementariërs van PVV
en CU/SGP, die schaamteloos de Israëlische (reeds bewezen) leugens en
propaganda laten weerklinken ter verdediging van de blokkade, in
plaats van de wil te tonen om het leed voor de Gazanen te verlichten,
en de resoluties die de EU hierover eerder heeft aangenomen te

met hulpgoederen zich zonder verzet zouden moet laten doodschieten

'Dancing Israeli film studio's present: FAKED ATTACK VIDEO's'...

BUSTED! I didn’t believe they would be that stupid. You could see the cursor moving in the picture. I saw a man handed a metal bar. Then he walked through, just like a ghost, a solid steel protrusion from the deck, the size of an ashcan.
This thing would have stopped a truck but the Fox News “fighters” on the Mavi Marmara were like ghosts. In fact, the “steel bar thugs” were exactly that, or more appropriately, cartoons.
They passed through walls, stood when others cowered and, like the cartoon characters they were, waved their steel bars in the air threateningly, all a fabrication of the IDF bungler squad, made for Likudist Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. Like a scene out of the movie, Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes, Israel is “busted” for clumsy attempts to insert scarry cartoon characters into videos counterfeited to support their Gaza blockade. Was this the same Israeli film group arrested on 9/11, the group who spent hours with cameras pointing at the World Trade Center waiting for the attack?

If there was ever proof to convict at a war crimes tribunal, the Israeli videos played on Fox News are it. The “bunglers,” I can’t use that word enough, in Israel couldn’t have done a worse job. This is the third major public relations

Israeli's about celebrating Freedom Flotilla Massacre. At Ashdot's port there were hundreds of Israeli's in support of the IDF waiting for the pirated ship Mavi Marmara, as this footage shows.

A day after a botched Israeli raid to stop the Gaza "Freedom Flotilla" from carrying some 700 activists and 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the besieged territory, details remain scant about the operation, in which at least nine activists were killed.
Several ships were towed into the port around noon on Monday. The largest passenger ship, the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara arrived about 6:45 p.m. Monday as the sun was setting on a day that saw at least nine of the approximately 600 activists on board killed in a skirmish with Israeli commandos.
Israel has also barred journalists from accessing the Ashdod port to which the ships, and their passengers, were towed -- and even the wounded were being treated at hospitals under heavy military guard.
Apache helicopter gunships buzzed noisily over the otherwise sleepy Israeli seaport of Ashdod, where dozens of local activists and foreign journalists had descended on the waterfront in anticipation of the seized fleet's arrival.
"We are trying to express our solidarity with the activists and with the people of Gaza by maintaining a presence at the port," said Inna Michaeli, one of about 100 left-wing Israeli activists and coordinator with the Coalition of Women for Peace, on Monday. "But we are being stoppe

Israel's flotilla propaganda

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:11:10 +0200

Flotilla raid Israeli myths debunked.

One of the most striking trends following the flotilla attack has been how quickly Israeli HASBARA is being exposed by internet journalists.The doctored IDF audio clips, where amateurs with mock Arab accents hiss ‘Go back to Aushwitz’ to Israeli naval officers.
Well they didn’t take long to pull apart did they? Then there are the (so-pathetic-they’re-almost-funny claims the flotilla was linked to Al- Qaeada. I laughed out loud to read in an Israeli paper that humanitarian activist (and former US marine) Ken O’Keefe was going to Gaza to; ‘train a commando unit in Hamas.’ I know Ken fairly well. Quite frankly I’m not sure who should be more insulted by this stupidity him or Hamas? Either way flinging the words ‘Hamas’ ‘Jihadists’ and ‘Israel’s security’ around is no longer having the same shock and awe effect on journalists or the public at large.
The internet now shapes the world’s story, not the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
Meanwhile, like a soccer star caught cheating on his wife. Instead of saying ‘ I messed up big time, forgive me’ Israeli government sources and other shysters are screaming; ‘it’s not fair to watch us all the time, that’s mean!’ and ‘this is our business, leave us alone!’ Bad luck for them that as it stands, more of the IDF’s minging dirty washing, is being aired in

Geschiedenis van de MOSSAD
Deze video’s schetsen een goed beeld van de Israëlische Propaganda machine. Er wordt gesuggereerd dat de MOSSAD de beste veiligheidsdienst ter wereld is. Al zou dat zo zijn, verwonderlijk? Nee, als je gesponsord wordt door Amerika, waar de Joodse lobby het grootst is. Het schetst een aardig beeld van hoe, m.n., in Europa na de 2e wereldoorlog gedacht werd over Israel, de Holocaust achter de rug. Maar als je goed kijkt, zie je eigenlijk de methoden en praktijken van Israel, de ervaring die ze helaas opgedaan hebben in de vernietigingskampen, terug in de video’s. De liquidatie van mensen, trainen van spionnen! Het systematisch onderdrukken van mensen.
Er wordt ook een soort mythe neergezet dat Israel onoverwinnelijk is, geen wonder als je het beste wapenarsenaal van het midden oosten hebt en niemand dit controleert (zelf het atoomagentschap niet de IAEA)! De Palestijnen worden betiteld als terroristen, dit is altijd gemakkelijk, eigenlijk is Israel de terrorist oftewel de agressor. De acties in de jaren 70 en 80 van de PLO heeft gelukkig Palestina en het conflict op de kaart gezet, mensen zonder land, zoals de Israëli’s moeten weten, plegen verzet, en bij Israel is dit gerechtvaardigd en bij de Palestijnen niet?!
Een informatieve film, die de mythe van Israel hoog moest houden, gelukkig brokkelt dit imago beetje bij beetje af door de schokkende realiteit!
Inshallah!

Attack Mavi Marmara rawfootage

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 08:01:28 +0200

On the night of Sunday, May 30, showing a terrifying disregard for human life, Israeli naval forces surrounded and boarded ships sailing to bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. On the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli commandos opened fire on civilian passengers, killing at least 9 passengers and wounding dozens more. Others are still missing. The final death toll is yet to be determined. Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee was aboard the besieged ship and has since returned home safely.
Despite the Israeli government's thorough efforts to confiscate all footage taken during the attack, Iara Lee was able to retain some of her recordings. Above is raw footage from the moments leading up to and during the Israeli commandos' assault on the Mavi Marmara. 31-5-2010

Watching Iara Lee’s ‘Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara’
by Philip Weiss on July 1, 2010

How many of you have watched Iara Lee's film from the "Mavi Marmara" from start to finish? I'd only watched the key 15-minute section that Adam excerpted a couple weeks ago, till the other day when I saw two friends who'd viewed the whole 62 minutes and were blown away. I sat down and watched it twice. It astounds me that no one in the mainstream media has done a review of this film--a columnist or a critic or diplomatic correspondent. For it is a vital document of an important incident, and even as politicians describe the boat's passeng

New footage has emerged

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 23:44:38 +0200

Warning: contains graphic scenes.
New footage has emerged of the Israeli assault on a convoy of aid ships headed to Gaza in which nine activists were killed.
Israel attempted to confiscate all footage recorded by participants in the Gaza Freedom flotilla – including taking away mobile phones – but Lee managed to smuggle one hour of video out of the country by hiding it in her underwear, it was reported.

The high-quality film was reportedly recorded by New York-based documentary maker Iara Lee aboard the Mavi Marmara, the Turkish ship that bore the brunt of the Israeli attacks.
The 15 minutes of film posted online shows the moments leading up to and during the Israeli commandos' assault on the Mavi Marmara.
At one stage, the captain of the boat can be heard over the public address system saying: "Do not show resistance … They are using live ammunition … Be calm, be very calm." Gunshots can be heard.
The film includes footage of an Israeli inflatable boat carrying commandos, and troops can be seen rappelling from a helicopter on to the Mavi Marmara. While they do so, two men on the Marmara can be seen using catapults aimed at the soldiers, who are high above them, although the projectiles they are firing cannot be ascertained.
At one point, a passenger on the boat says to the camera: "[The activists] hold two soldiers down here, bleeding and wounded." One soldier can be seen being carried down the stairs of the vessel. In a

Israels zelfbedrog

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:12:42 +0200

Nir Baram over Israels zelfbedrog.
Hoe in Israël de propaganda zo gemanipuleerd wordt dat zelfs vredesinitiatieven en hulpkonvooien gezien kunnen worden als een aanval van een vijandige, antisemitische wereld. Hoe Israël vergeet dat de Arabische Liga al acht jaar geleden een vredesaanbod deed (het oorspronkelijke aanbod dateert zelfs uit 1982, Nir)

June 5th 2010 - Thousands of Israelis demonstrators, gathered in Tel Aviv to mark 43 years of Israel's occupation of the West Bank and protest against the government's decision to attack the flotilla to Gaza. The demonstration was held under the slogan "The Government is Drowning Us All". Israeli media covered the demonstration in a narrow manner.

Ik ben niet meer van de school die hoop put uit demonstraties in Tel Aviv (of Sheikh Jarrah) tegen alles wat er mis gaat in Israël. Ik vrees dat er meer nodig is dan nu en dan een demonstratie om het allemaal nog in goede banen te leiden.
Maar op deze video van de demonstratie van afgelopen zaterdag in Tel Aviv tegen de aanval op de Free Gaza Flotilla wordt een zonder meer indrukwekkend verhaal gehouden door de schrijver/journalist Nir Baram.

Hajo Meyer on Palestine

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 08:59:10 +0200

Auschwitz survivor Dr. Hajo Meyer talks about the differences between the Nazi's treatment of the Jews and the Palestinians today.
Meyer expresses in impassioned terms his dismay at what he sees as the moral collapse of contemporary Israeli society and the worldwide Jewish community as a whole. Meyer is a member of "A Different Jewish Voice," a Dutch-based, secular Jewish movement that dares to openly criticize Israel's policies toward the Palestinians. In his observations, deeply colored by his personal experiences during the Holocaust, Meyer compares Israel's current policies with the early stages of the Nazis' persecution of the German Jews. He clearly explains that he is in no way seeking to draw a parallel between the current policies of Israel and the Nazis' endgame, which resulted in the mass murder of six million innocent people. He is merely trying to point out the slippery slope that eventually led to this catastrophe, and the necessity of foreseeing the possible consequences of a policy that oppresses and marginalizes the Palestinians in their own homeland. As a result of his experiences in Auschwitz, Hajo Meyer claims to have learned one fundamental lesson: that his moral duty as a human being was to never become like his oppressors. The End of Judaism is the outcry of a dissident Jew who is not afraid of standing up to entrenched ways of thinking about history and particularly about the Palestinian conflict, which is one of the most intractable social

Free Palestine. Al Shaheed, Hany Shaker

Hany Shaker, momenteel een van de populairste zangers in de arbaische wereld. Free Palestine: Al Shaheed, Hany Shaker. by http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.com/
An Arabic song about Palestine by Hany Shaker... Al Shaheed (the martyr). Don't need to know Arabic to understand the song because the video makes it pretty clear.
Shaheed (Arabic: Ø´Ù‡ÙŠØ¯ šahÄ«d, plural: Ø´Ù‡Ø¯Ø§Ø¡ šuhadÄ') is a religious term in Islam, that literally means "witness". It is a title that is given to a Muslim after his death, if he died during the fulfillment of a religious commandment, or during a war for the religion. In addition to its religious connotation, the term is also commonly used in the Indian subcontinent by Hindus and Sikhs as the equivalent of martyr. Arab Christians use the term to describe persons killed on duty or during wars. In this case, the term equals the term martyr.
The shaheed is considered as one whose place in Paradise is promised, according to the verse in the Qur'an "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord." ("Aal-e-Imran" sura, verse 169).
A martyrdom operation is a military or terrorist attack in which the attacker is expected to die; most often a suicide bombing. The term is used by armed Muslim militants, or other similar or related groups. Islamist militants use this term as they do not see their attacks as an a

Original video @ http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/TV_Sho...
EXCERPT:
"First, absent any intention by the flotilla to attack Israel, or any suspicion of piracy, it was unlawful for Israel to forcibly board foreign merchant vessels in international waters.
Secondly, such action amounted to an unlawful interference in the enforcement jurisdiction of the "flag-States" (countries of registration) of those vessels, such as Turkey.
Thirdly, it violated the fundamental principle of freedom of navigation on the high seas, codified in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982.
Fourthly, under international human rights law, the apprehension and detention of those on board the vessels likely amounts to arbitrary, unlawful detention, contrary to article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, since there is lawful basis for detention.
Fifthly, if Israeli forces killed people, they may not only have infringed the human right to life, but they may also have committed serious international crimes. Under article 3 of the Rome Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation of 1988, it is an international crime fo

Risky fish business

Gaza's risky fish business. Israel's blockade of Gaza extends well beyond its land borders.
At sea, Gaza's fishermen are only allowed to go within 5.5km of the coast, hence many sneak into Egyptian waters to fish instead.
But by doing so, they're putting their lives at risk.

It is an ongoing construction project, but it appears to have failed.
The tunnels are still operating -- and that is because smugglers have found a way to break through the barriers.
