+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Over the past two months, Gaza&#8217;s schools have turned into shelters for people uprooted by Israel&#8217;s merciless war.</p>
+<p>The buildings do not offer safety. Israel committed several <a href="https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/gaza-strip-unrwa-schools-sheltering-displaced-people-constantly-hit">massacres</a> in schools run by the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA).</p>
+<p>In the early stage of the war, UNRWA schools were favored over those run by other bodies as places to shelter. There was a perception that Israel would be less likely to target schools which rely on major international donors.</p>
+<p>By now, the majority of Gaza&#8217;s 2.3 million inhabitants are displaced. And Israel has laid waste to the civilian infrastructure.</p>
+<p>All types of schools are serving as shelters against this horrific background.</p>
+<p>Fatima, 33, is staying in what was secondary school for boys until recently. It is located in southern Gaza.</p>
+<p>“I do not know where to go,” Fatima said. “I need a roof over my head. Everywhere is unsafe.”</p>
+<p>Fatima and more than 30 members of her extended family were forced to leave their home in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza.</p>
+<p>First, they went to an UNRWA school in Jabaliya refugee camp. Then Israel bombarded an area close to that school.</p>
+<p>“We did not want to leave northern Gaza,” Fatima said. “But then the situation got worse. The airstrikes were nonstop. We could see ourselves being killed within a few hours. Death was so near.”</p>
+<p>Fatima and her family headed southwards through what Israel has misleadingly called a “safe corridor.”</p>
+<p>The school where they now find themselves is accommodating 80 to 100 people per classroom. They lack basic necessities.</p>
+<h2>“Distressing”</h2>
+<p>“The worst part is finding water,” Fatima said. “We don&#8217;t have any electricity or water at all. When we have water, we prioritize the children as they cannot understand war or starvation.”</p>
+<p>She described queuing to use unhygienic bathrooms as “distressing.”</p>
+<p>With very little water to drink, “I always experience headaches and dizziness,” said Fatima. “I say that is okay as long as my children are okay.”</p>
+<p>Sabreen, 34, is living in the same school.</p>
+<p>Her brother and three of his children were killed soon after the war began.</p>
+<p>Sabreen&#8217;s own home in Beit Lahiya was damaged by Israeli bombardment. As a result, she and her family fled to Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza before leaving for the south.</p>
+<p>The journey through the “safe corridor” was terrifying. She was only able to bring some clothes, ID cards and a few items for her youngest son.</p>
+<p>The school was already full when they reached it. She had to squeeze into a tiny space, using a plastic sheet to demarcate her family&#8217;s current living area.</p>
+<p>Her own extended family in the school has 28 members.</p>
+<p>Menstruating in the school “feels like a nightmare,” Sabreen said. “We lack blankets, comfortable mattresses, sanitary pads, painkillers and even access to hot water for soothing drinks.”</p>
+<p>Some girls and women have begun washing used sanitary pads and then reusing them. The practice carries a risk of infection.</p>
+<p>Others are taking pills that delay periods.</p>
+<p>A number of Sabreen&#8217;s seven children have become ill.</p>
+<p>“We sleep with only light blankets,” she said. “We often have to share one blanket between four people.”</p>
+<p>“I cannot bear the situation we are living in,” she added. “The war is incredibly cruel.”</p>

+<p>Untold numbers of Israelis were dead – many being youths attending a music festival – and we were sickened as we checked the internet to confirm the rising numbers of civilian casualties, though questions <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-soldier-pushes-war-crimes-cnn/38841">continue to be raised</a> about the official narrative surrounding their deaths.</p>
+<p>At least MSNBC´s initial sensitive coverage by Ayman Mohyeldin and Ali Velshi offered a thoughtful historical context for the audience to understand the tragic events of the day.</p>
+<p>A few hours later, however, we returned to MSNBC and watched Rev. Al Sharpton interview Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League. Goldblatt proceeded to attack MSNBC coverage for having “sanitized the terrorism of Hamas,” an obvious <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/who-is-writing-the-scripts-adl-director-slams-msnbc-for-sanitizing-hamas-terrorism-during-morning-joe-appearance/">reference</a> to Velshi, Mohyeldin, and others.</p>
+<p>Rev. Al allowed Greenblatt to talk without interruption and seemed to agree with him. A few minutes later the Rev. interviewed Palestinian analyst Diana Buttu and interrupted her repeatedly, asking her to condemn Hamas and confirm whether she supported a two-state solution.</p>
+<p>From that moment, we could see MSNBC’s coverage shift toward an Israeli-centric approach with minimal historical context. By midweek, Greenblatt and other pro-Israel spokespersons were regular guests on MSNBC.</p>
+<h2>Past lessons unlearned</h2>
+<p>I was reminded of an experience I wrote about in my memoir, <em>Glory to God in the Lowest</em>, published last year. I led a group of relief and development organizations to Lebanon in late May and June 1982 when we were caught in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon for nearly a week.</p>
+<p>When I returned to Chicago, my staff arranged an interview on Chicago´s NBC affiliate where I would be debating an Israeli general about the invasion. At the last minute, NBC made a concession to the Israeli consulate and said I would not be allowed to be in the studio opposite the general. I protested the arrangement but decided to do the interview from a park in downtown Chicago.</p>
+<p>The general spoke first and said Israel was defending itself from Palestine Liberation Organization attacks and its military was avoiding civilians by hitting PLO targets with precision bombing. I responded by noting the large number of civilian casualties I had personally witnessed including those who were hit in apartment buildings, a hospital wing, ambulances and rescue teams, and three clearly marked UN buses taking Palestinian girls on a field trip.</p>
+<p>At that point, the general interrupted me and accused me of lying. He defended Israel´s campaign as a defensive war against the PLO terrorists and added a phrase that shocked me. ¨This Peace for Galilee operation is Israel&#8217;s final solution to the Palestinian problem.¨</p>
+<p>I responded immediately: ¨This is the very language used by the Nazi regime to demonize Jews as it prepared for the Holocaust. You are endorsing genocide and it must be avoided at all costs.”</p>
+<p>I asked him to retract his statement and he refused. The interview <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2023/06/i-saw-israels-final-solution-to-the-palestinian-problem-in-lebanon-41-years-ago-and-i-see-it-again-today/">ended abruptly</a>.</p>
+<p>I returned to my office and the first phone call was from Tim Weigel, the NBC host of the program. Tim said the switchboard at NBC lit up as never before with angry calls about my statements. The news director said I would never be invited to NBC again because my remarks were anti-Semitic and offensive to their audience. I said NBC should denounce the general&#8217;s remarks. Neither Weigel nor the news director were willing to take that step.</p>
+<p>The lesson I took from the interview was that pro-Israeli organizations can control the narrative in the media because they are well organized and have access to top executives at news organizations, threatening to cut advertising if necessary.</p>
+<p>They also submit pro-Israel talking points to journalists and offer training for news departments. We were ineffective and barely scratched the surface in our attempts to highlight the Palestinian narrative with its message of peace, justice, and equality for all.</p>
+<h2>Lack of context</h2>
+<p>The other lesson is one I return to today in the midst of Israel´s vengeance against all Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. I fear this could be the next phase of Israel´s “final solution” to the Palestine question, killing as many Palestinians as possible and expelling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.</p>
+<p>The language used by Netanyahu and the extremists in the war cabinet is <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israel-cuts-food-water-millions-palestinians-it-calls-human-animals">labeling</a> Palestinians as ¨animals¨ and stating Gaza will be flattened. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/biden-cheerleads-israels-genocidal-war-gaza">endorsed</a> Israel´s genocidal attack and to date Biden maintains, “there is no daylight” between the United States and Israel.</p>
+<p>The US may be the only party capable of stopping these war crimes and genocide. If it is unwilling, the US will be and perhaps already is complicit in war crimes by underwriting and providing political support for these atrocities.</p>
+<p>In 1982, it took over a month of grassroots pressure on the media outlets, before their coverage included the Palestinian narrative and gave historical context for the injustices inflicted on Palestinians. Tragically, the same patterns are being repeated by the mainstream media and the Biden administration today.</p>
+<p>We don’t have a month or even a week, in this case, as Israel may have launched its ground offensive by the time you read this. Palestinian civilians and the hostages held by Hamas may be killed, unless there is a pause in this madness, which is only repeating a series of unending cycles of violence since 1948.</p>
+<p>If Biden continues to repeat false statements likening Hamas to al-Qaeda and ISIS or referring to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/biden-lied-about-seeing-photos-beheaded-israeli-children">lurid reports</a> of beheaded babies while ignoring the humanity of Palestinians, the world could witness an utterly apocalyptic scenario of mass slaughter and expulsion of Palestinians.</p>
+<p>No one knows where this is going, but if Netanyahu´s apparent goal of eliminating Palestinians by death and mass expulsion is enacted, the region could be engulfed by war.</p>
+<p>Meanwhile, the Israeli public is raising serious questions about the utter failure of its military to protect them, wondering why soldiers were moved last weekend to protect Jewish settler festivities in the West Bank.</p>
+<p>While Netanyahu was under fire before the war, now new questions are being raised about his stance on Hamas and his failure to make the hostages a priority.</p>
+<h2>Time for a time out</h2>
+<p>Other questions are being raised in the United States and Europe where a growing movement of sympathy for the Palestinians is demanding a change in one-sided policies. If the Palestinian deaths continue to rise, as they certainly will if there is a ground invasion, there will be international pressure on the US and Israel from the Arab and Islamic world, including the Arab monarchies participating in the so-called Abraham Accords.</p>
+<p>The Palestine question has returned to the top of the agenda among the Arab and Muslim masses, and there is a newly invigorated global movement for justice at the grass roots.</p>
+<p>To utter a proverbial truth: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.” As the death toll rises in the Gaza Strip from incessant Israeli bombings, and the dire consequences of Israel&#8217;s stopping deliveries of food, medicine, water, fuel, and electricity take their toll, massive numbers of Palestinian children and civilians will die.</p>
+<p>Their blood will be on the hands of Israel, the United States and the European Union. These starvation strategies are war crimes and there must be intervention to stop them.</p>
+<p>Calls for a ceasefire are beginning to rise from the grass roots and a number of countries, mostly outside the West. Some are demanding an immediate lifting of the illegal Israeli-US-sponsored blockade of Gaza to provide life-saving medical supplies and rescue teams, water, food, electricity and fuel for the generators.</p>
+<p>Negotiations may already be underway through backchannels for release of the hostages and permission for the wounded to leave. The option of a humanitarian corridor to the Sinai must be carefully parsed as Israel could exploit it with a mass expulsion of Gaza´s 2.3 million Palestinians.</p>
+<p>Palestinians remember the Nakba of 1948 and will not be easily moved this time. Also included in a ceasefire is the need for rescue teams, as in an earthquake crisis, to rescue Palestinians trapped in the rubble created by Israel.</p>
+<p>With a ceasefire comes an urgent need for an international conference to seek a just and lasting peace for the Palestinian people. This conference must avoid the mistakes of the past like the Oslo Accords that allowed Israel and the United States alone to manage what became a lethal system of apartheid, settler colonialism and brutal occupation.</p>
+<p>Instead, a coalition of several nations should commit to international law and existing UN resolutions that include security for Israel and Palestinians, an end to the colonization of Palestine, the right of self-determination and the right of return for Palestinians.</p>
+<h2>What must happen</h2>
+<p>Palestinians must be represented by their own spokespersons which may rule out the Palestinian Authority and any foreign Arab government representation. Perhaps this is the time for Palestinians to reconstitute the Palestine Liberation Organization, which was effectively replaced by the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo process. This development would include Palestinians in historic Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora.</p>
+<p>A critical task before the international community is the establishment of an international protective force in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem to protect Palestinians from the Israeli military and armed, militant settlers, who are currently supported and supplied by Netanyahu&#8217;s government. They must be disarmed.</p>
+<p>The International Criminal Court (ICC) must be guaranteed free access to Israel and the Palestinian territories, and the US and Israel must be prevented from undermining the ICC investigations. The ICC must investigate and hold accountable both Hamas and Israel for possible war crimes committed not only during the October, 2023, hostilities, but also for war crimes committed since the Israeli occupation began in June 1967.</p>
+<p>While international negotiations are conducted, the international community must address the increased polarization and hate campaigns underway against Jews, Muslims, and Palestinians and their supporters. A global movement in civil society could be furnished with human resources, budgets, expertise and government mandates to de-escalate the violent rhetoric and polarization that has proliferated since the October hostilities.</p>
+<p>There are several credible organizations capable of training the media, religious groups, schools and educators, to address the growing violence and hate language. These resources are urgently needed in Israel and the Palestinian territories.</p>
+<p>Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once mused: “We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will die together as fools.”</p>
+<p>May we end the insanity of endless cycles of violence and begin to address and rectify the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli struggle and one hundred years of violence and war. May the painful and crisis-ridden days we are now enduring be turned into creative energy for healing and ending hateful, violent rhetoric and actions – not only in Israel and Palestine but globally.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>As I write, the building I live in here in Gaza is shaking continuously. Above us, Israeli F-16 warplanes pummel us with a seemingly endless barrage of bombs.</p>
+<p>I am writing amid a rapid flow of developing events, so it is certain that by the time this is published, many things may have changed, but I am trying to highlight the general features of this current round of escalation in Palestine.</p>
+<p>The escalation began in Jerusalem during the month of Ramadan, in a series of provocations carried out by the Israeli occupation authorities.</p>
+<p>The first in this series was the decision to prevent Palestinians from gathering at Bab al-Amoud (Damascus Gate) in Jerusalem in late April. This sparked a series of protests which eventually forced Israel <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/26/israeli-police-remove-east-jerusalem-barricades-after-protests">to rescind</a> the order.</p>
+<p>Another &#8211; ongoing &#8211; provocation, which drew some international attention, is the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/fear-and-fury-sheikh-jarrah/32946">expulsion orders pending</a> against Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah that Israeli courts have granted to Israeli settlers.</p>
+<p>A third Israeli provocation was the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-aqsa-attacks-how-violence-unfolded">storming of al-Aqsa mosque</a> during prayers on the morning of Friday, 7 May. Israeli forces fired tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets onto worshippers, resulting in over 200 injuries.</p>
+<p>In a fourth provocation, settlers announced that on 10 May they would march through Jerusalem to celebrate what they term <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jerusalem-day">Jerusalem Day</a>. The intention was to march near al-Aqsa mosque.</p>
+<p>This march escalated into a fifth provocation on the morning of 10 May as, for the second time in a week, Israeli forces stormed al-Aqsa, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israel-attacks-gaza-after-jerusalem-defeat/32936">attacking worshippers</a> praying inside and ransacking the sacred site. More than 300 Palestinians were injured.</p>
+<h2>A wave of anger</h2>
+<p>These provocations persisted throughout Ramadan, and caused a wave of anger to sweep through Palestinians across their homeland. Protests broke out in Haifa, Jaffa, Ramallah and Gaza.</p>
+<p>In Gaza, demonstrators called on the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, to intervene. Palestinians in Gaza strongly supported the need for a swift response by resistance factions to retaliate for the violations in Jerusalem.</p>
+<p>I read what seemed like hundreds of messages from activists on social media asking Hamas why they were late in retaliating. Taxi drivers and shopkeepers, ordinary folks on the street: Everyone was posing the same question.</p>
+<p>Eventually, Qassam issued a warning that Israeli troops had two hours to evacuate al-Aqsa, lift the siege of the <em>murabitoun</em> &#8211; the faithful who remain at the site around the clock in order to protect it with their presence &#8211; and release all prisoners.</p>
+<p>As the deadline expired, and Israel failed to respond, Qassam fired a burst of rockets towards Jerusalem.</p>
+<p>The Israeli military responded by bombarding the city of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.</p>
+<p><a href="http://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/124394">Nine people</a>, including three children, were killed there as they were preparing to break their fasts.</p>
+<p>Gaza freedom fighters kept retaliating and Israel expanded its bombardments to include residential homes.</p>
+<p>The Israeli air force destroyed <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/13/lost-in-blink-of-an-eye-gaza-high-rise-towers-targeted-by-israel">several residential towers</a> that also accommodated dozens of media offices and commercial establishments.</p>
+<p>Israel also attacked police offices and several government buildings, all civilian targets.</p>
+<h2>Why it’s different</h2>
+<p>The current escalation is distinguished by the fact that the Palestinian people demanded a response to the practices of the Israeli occupation. Hamas, in responding, is being considered heroic.</p>
+<p>There is no public judgment or denunciation of Hamas’ decision to act, even when citizens are paying the harshest price of Israeli aggression, losing their loved ones and their homes.</p>
+<p>It is clear in Gaza that Palestinians remain firm in their belief in resistance as the pathway to liberation from occupation.</p>
+<p>This round of fighting is also significant because it came as a response to continuous violations in Jerusalem.</p>
+<p>All previous rounds of Hamas escalation have been provoked by Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Thus, when Jerusalem called for Gaza&#8217;s aid, and Gaza rose to defend Jerusalem, this amplified the burgeoning sense of Palestinian national unity and liberated the Palestinian resistance from its isolation in Gaza.</p>
+<p>Whether in Gaza or anywhere else in Palestine, Palestinians struggle against the occupation, whose attacks and violations affect them everywhere.</p>
+<p>This escalation has also been characterized by an increasingly defiant spirit within the resistance factions. The cancelation of the “Jerusalem Day” march was an early victory.</p>
+<p>The reality of suffering and tragedy is always present in Israeli aggressions on Gaza. Still, this time, the escalation feels meaningful, it feels heroic.</p>
+<p>People across Palestine desperately needed someone to make them feel supported and defended. Palestinians need to feel they are not paying the price alone. It is therefore hugely significant that resistance has exploded across historic Palestine.</p>
+<p>Israel has been committed to destroying the Palestinian identity, especially in deliberately economically deprived cities, towns and villages inside the 1948 boundaries &#8211; the areas where the state of Israel was declared that year, during the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.</p>
+<p>Mass protests in those areas, the torching of police stations and the replacement of Israeli flags with Palestinian flags, all seem like a new revival of the Palestinian spirit.</p>
+<p>Palestinians are still deeply rooted in their land, clinging to their identity, their deep sense of unity is more significant than any factors that may divide, and their ability to survive Israel&#8217;s terror and crimes never ceases to amaze.</p>
+<p>Israel has a powerful arsenal of missiles, and in an attempt to recover lost dignity in the face of Palestinian resistance, Israel continues to commit crimes against civilians in Gaza.</p>
+<p>Yet, Israeli power does not ensure legitimacy or stability. The Zionist project in Palestine is alien to this land, and all efforts to neutralize or eject the Palestinian presence have failed for more than 70 years.</p>
+<p>The Palestinian people may weaken, but they will not die. They have the will to fight until the end and certain victory.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">ActiveStills</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>A clothesline hangs between heaps of twisted metal and cracked slabs of concrete, while a handful of olive trees lay haphazardly, their roots exposed, under the scorching <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/negev-naqab">Naqab</a> desert sun.</p>
+<p>Less than a week ago, this was where approximately 600 Israeli police officers were deployed to demolish 18 structures, including 10 homes, and uproot 600 trees in the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/unrecognized-villages">“unrecognized” Palestinian Bedouin village</a> of Atir-Umm al-Hieran, just 30 minutes from the major city of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bir-saba">Bir al-Saba</a> (Beersheva).</p>
+<p>Residents reported seeing approximately thirty flatbed trucks haul away most of the rubble, while Israeli police set up a dozen roadblocks in both directions along the main road, preventing residents from trying to stop the bulldozers. Only a few destroyed buildings were left behind and broken toys, notebooks and other personal effects remained scattered across the sand.</p>
+<p>“It’s the worst thing that can happen,” said Khader Abu al-Qian, a village elder, from the shade of a makeshift tent across the street from the scene of the destruction.</p>
+<p>The Israeli authorities demolished two homes in Atir once before, in 2007. But police and agents with the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israel-lands-administration">Israel Land Administration</a> regularly come to the village to take photographs of buildings, Abu al-Qian explained. They even once asked him if he would rather demolish the village himself, or wait for them to do it.</p>
+<h2>“More extreme”</h2>
+<p>Despite this experience, Abu al-Qian said that last week’s <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/home-demolitions">demolition</a> &#8212; in an area of the village home to fifty persons, including over two dozen children &#8212; was something completely different.</p>
+<p>“They have become more extreme in everything,” he told The Electronic Intifada. “I wasn’t ready for this. I didn’t imagine they could ‘clean’ the area like this.”</p>
+<p>Abu al-Qian’s 18-year-old son Nour echoed this sentiment.</p>
+<p>“This time, they destroyed everything,” Nour, who witnessed the demolition from beginning to end, told The Electronic Intifada. He said residents had no time to take their belongings out of their homes before the demolitions were carried out.</p>
+<p>Nour now sleeps in a makeshift tent with four of his siblings; inside the tent, thin mats and blankets were piled on cinderblocks, gathering dust as the wind swept through the village. “It’s very difficult. But we will rebuild the houses. We will remain here,” he said.</p>
+<p>Some 200,000 <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bedouins">Palestinian Bedouin</a> citizens of Israel live in the country’s southern Naqab (Negev) desert region. Though they constitute approximately 30 percent of the area’s total population, the Bedouin live on just five percent of the land. Many have legal claims to their lands pending before Israeli courts.</p>
+<h2>Lack of services</h2>
+<p>Approximately half of the Bedouin community lives in government-planned townships, which suffer from high <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/unemployment">unemployment</a> and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/poverty">poverty</a>, and a widespread lack of services. The other half live in three dozen unrecognized villages, like Atir-Umm al-Hieran.</p>
+<p>Israel does not provide these unrecognized villages with basic services, including <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/water">water</a>, electricity, schools, or health facilities, and regularly demolishes homes and other structures.</p>
+<p>Israel has pursued a policy of Bedouin urbanization for decades, in an effort to contain the Bedouin population on as little land as possible. In 2008, Israel appointed former <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israeli-high-court">high court</a> judge Eliezer Goldberg to look into “Bedouin settlement” issues in the Naqab.</p>
+<p>Shortly afterwards, a new committee was formed to implement Goldberg’s findings under <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/ehud-prawer">Ehud Prawer</a>, director of planning policy in the prime minister’s office.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/prawer-plan">Prawer Plan</a>, as it became known, suggested forcibly evicting 40 percent of the Bedouin community &#8212; between 30,000 and 40,000 people &#8212; from their homes, and moving them into urban townships. The Israeli cabinet approved the Prawer Plan in its original form in September 2011.</p>
+<p>After Benny Begin, then a minister, made very minor changes to the plan, an updated version was approved in January of this year, and lauded by the government as a generous proposal that will help modernize the Bedouin community.</p>
+<p>“The goal of this historic decision is to put an end to the spread of illegal building by Negev Bedouin and lead to the better integration of the Bedouin into Israeli society,” Prime Minister <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/benjamin-netanyahu">Benjamin Netanyahu</a> said after the plan was finalized (“<a href="http://www.pmo.gov.il/English/MediaCenter/Spokesman/Pages/spokebedu270113.aspx">Cabinet approves Minister Benny Begin&#8217;s recommendations on formalizing the status of Bedouin settlement in the Negev</a>,” Prime Minister&#8217;s Office, 27 January 2013).</p>
+<p>“This brave decision will facilitate the continued development and prosperity of the Negev, for the benefit of all its residents.”</p>
+<h2>Affront to basic rights</h2>
+<p>But both local and international human rights bodies, including <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/amnesty-international">Amnesty International</a> and the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/un-committee-elimination-racial-discrimination-cerd">United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination</a>, among others, have criticized the plan as an affront to the Bedouin’s basic human rights.</p>
+<p>“Forcibly evicting tens of thousands of Bedouin from communities where they have lived for generations cannot be justified in the name of economic development or any other reason,” said Ann Harrison, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.</p>
+<p>“What the proposed law does is send the Bedouin communities into a human rights desert by stripping already vulnerable citizens of legal safeguards against house demolitions and forced evictions. This blatantly violates international law,” Harrison added (“<a href="http://www.amnesty.org/en/news/israel-new-government-must-scrap-plans-forcibly-evict-bedouin-2013-04-20">Israel: New government must scrap plans to forcibly evict Bedouin</a>,” 20 April 2013).</p>
+<p>According to many local activists, last week’s demolition in Atir-Umm al-Hieran was the largest display of Israeli force in demolishing a Bedouin village so far this year, and has drawn comparisons to the first demolition of another unrecognized village, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/al-araqib">al-Araqib</a>.</p>
+<p>In July 2010, more than 1,200 Israeli police destroyed 46 structures, including 30 homes, in al-Araqib and made all 300 village residents homeless overnight.</p>
+<p>But it wasn’t the first time the Israeli authorities have aimed to displace Bedouin families in Atir-Umm al-Hieran.</p>
+<p>After some 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forcibly evicted from their homes following the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, the villagers were moved from their community in Khirbet Zubaleh, which today is a Jewish-Israeli community called Kibbutz Shuval.</p>
+<p>After being transferred a handful of other times, the Israeli government finally resettled the residents to the Wadi Atory area in 1956, on an order from the Israeli military governor in the Naqab at the time. This is where they built the community of Atir-Umm al-Hieran that exists today.</p>
+<p>Approximately 1,000 residents &#8212; all members of the Abu al-Qian Bedouin tribe &#8212; live in Atir-Umm al-Hieran. A single, pothole-ridden road leads to and from the village, which sits just northwest of the recognized Bedouin township of Hura.</p>
+<h2>Facing eviction</h2>
+<p>In Atir, the Israeli government aims to build a forest in the exact spot residents now live, while in place of Umm al-Hieran, the state plans to build a Jewish-only town, named Hiran. If these plans go ahead, all 1,000 Bedouin living in the area will be evicted against their will.</p>
+<p>“They will start in villages [where] there are no land claims. The people of Umm al-Hieran and Atir and Wadi al-Naam [the largest unrecognized Bedouin village in the Naqab] are people who were already displaced once, twice or three times. They are not sitting on their ancestral lands, so they will start with them,” said Dr. Thabet Abu Ras, head of the Naqab office of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/adalah">Adalah</a>, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel.</p>
+<p>Abu Ras told The Electronic Intifada that Israel is not only trying to evict Bedouin citizens, but also erase all traces of Arab presence in the Naqab or Negev desert.</p>
+<p>“It’s amazing how the government is trying to uproot the people and their history in the same place. They were uprooting all the trees that are associated with the Arabs,” he said. “I think the government is intensifying its efforts to implement Prawer before even the law is passed.”</p>
+<p>The Prawer Plan will be brought to the Israeli parliament, the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/knesset">Knesset</a>, for a first reading in the process of becoming a law next Monday (27 May).</p>
+<p>Meanwhile, small demonstrations have been held in Bedouin communities throughout the Negev against the plan over the past week, and a protest is planned for Monday in front of the Knesset as well.</p>
+<p>“There are lots of tensions in the field. There is a lot of mobilization. Young people now are more involved in this, but until now, we didn’t succeed to bring all the tribes to work together. But it can happen,” Abu Ras said.</p>
+<p>“People are insisting on staying in their lands. They can demolish their houses, but they will stay on the land.”</p>

al-Hieran.</p><small class=\"credit\">\n<span class=\"field field-author\">Oren Ziv</span>\n<span class=\"field field-publisher\">ActiveStills</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>A clothesline hangs between heaps of twisted metal and cracked slabs of concrete, while a handful of olive trees lay haphazardly, their roots exposed, under the scorching <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/negev-naqab\">Naqab</a> desert sun.</p>\n<p>Less than a week ago, this was where approximately 600 Israeli police officers were deployed to demolish 18 structures, including 10 homes, and uproot 600 trees in the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/unrecognized-villages\">“unrecognized” Palestinian Bedouin village</a> of Atir-Umm al-Hieran, just 30 minutes from the major city of <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bir-saba\">Bir al-Saba</a> (Beersheva).</p>\n<p>Residents reported seeing approximately thirty flatbed trucks haul away most of the rubble, while Israeli police set up a dozen roadblocks in both directions along the main road, preventing residents from trying to stop the bulldozers. Only a few destroyed buildings were left behind and broken toys, notebooks and other personal effects remained scattered across the sand.</p>\n<p>“It’s the worst thing that can happen,” said Khader Abu al-Qian, a village elder, from the shade of a makeshift tent across the street from the scene of the destruction.</p>\n<p>The Israeli authorities demolished two homes in Atir once before, in 2007. But police and agents with the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israel-lands-administration\">Israel Land Administration</a> regularly come to the village to take photographs of buildings, Abu al-Qian explained. They even once asked him if he would rather demolish the village himself, or wait for them to do it.</p>\n<h2>“More extreme”</h2>\n<p>Despite this experience, Abu al-Qian said that last week’s <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/home-demolitions\">demolition</a> &#8212; in an area of the village home to fifty persons, including over two dozen children &#8212; was something completely different.</p>\n<p>“They have become more extreme in everything,” he told The Electronic Intifada. “I wasn’t ready for this. I didn’t imagine they could ‘clean’ the area like this.”</p>\n<p>Abu al-Qian’s 18-year-old son Nour echoed this sentiment.</p>\n<p>“This time, they destroyed everything,” Nour, who witnessed the demolition from beginning to end, told The Electronic Intifada. He said residents had no time to take their belongings out of their homes before the demolitions were carried out.</p>\n<p>Nour now sleeps in a makeshift tent with four of his siblings; inside the tent, thin mats and blankets were piled on cinderblocks, gathering dust as the wind swept through the village. “It’s very difficult. But we will rebuild the houses. We will remain here,” he said.</p>\n<p>Some 200,000 <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bedouins\">Palestinian Bedouin</a> citizens of Israel live in the country’s southern Naqab (Negev) desert region. Though they constitute approximately 30 percent of the area’s total population, the Bedouin live on just five percent of the land. Many have legal claims to their lands pending before Israeli courts.</p>\n<h2>Lack of services</h2>\n<p>Approximately half of the Bedouin community lives in government-planned townships, which suffer from high <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/unemployment\">unemployment</a> and <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/poverty\">poverty</a>, and a widespread lack of services. The other half live in three dozen unrecognized villages, like Atir-Umm al-Hieran.</p>\n<p>Israel does not provide these unrecognized villages with basic services, including <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/water\">water</a>, electricity, schools, or health facilities, and regularly demolishes homes and other structures.</p>\n<p>Israel has pursued a policy of Bedouin urbanization for decades, in an effort to contain the Bedouin population on as little land as possible. In 2008, Israel appointed former <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israeli-high-court\">high court</a> judge Eliezer Goldberg to look into “Bedouin settlement” issues in the Naqab.</p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, a new committee was formed to implement Goldberg’s findings under <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/ehud-prawer\">Ehud Prawer</a>, director of planning policy in the prime minister’s office.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/prawer-plan\">Prawer Plan</a>, as it became known, suggested forcibly evicting 40 percent of the Bedouin community &#8212; between 30,000 and 40,000 people &#8212; from their homes, and moving them into urban townships. The Israeli cabinet approved the Prawer Plan in its original form in September 2011.</p>\n<p>After Benny Begin, then a minister, made very minor changes to the plan, an updated version was approved in January of this year, and lauded by the government as a generous proposal that will help modernize the Bedouin community.</p>\n<p>“The goal of this historic decision is to put an end to the spread of illegal building by Negev Bedouin and lead to the better integration of the Bedouin into Israeli society,” Prime Minister <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/benjamin-netanyahu\">Benjamin Netanyahu</a> said after the plan was finalized (“<a href=\"http://www.pmo.gov.il/English/MediaCenter/Spokesman/Pages/spokebedu270113.aspx\">Cabinet approves Minister Benny Begin&#8217;s recommendations on formalizing the status of Bedouin settlement in the Negev</a>,�� Prime Minister&#8217;s Office, 27 January 2013).</p>\n<p>“This brave decision will facilitate the continued development and prosperity of the Negev, for the benefit of all its residents.”</p>\n<h2>Affront to basic rights</h2>\n<p>But both local and international human rights bodies, including <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/amnesty-international\">Amnesty International</a> and the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/un-committee-elimination-racial-discrimination-cerd\">United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination</a>, among others, have criticized the plan as an affront to the Bedouin’s basic human rights.</p>\n<p>“Forcibly evicting tens of thousands of Bedouin from communities where they have lived for generations cannot be justified in the name of economic development or any other reason,” said Ann Harrison, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.</p>\n<p>“What the proposed law does is send the Bedouin communities into a human rights desert by stripping already vulnerable citizens of legal safeguards against house demolitions and forced evictions. This blatantly violates international law,” Harrison added (“<a href=\"http://www.amnesty.org/en/news/israel-new-government-must-scrap-plans-forcibly-evict-bedouin-2013-04-20\">Israel: New government must scrap plans to forcibly evict Bedouin</a>,” 20 April 2013).</p>\n<p>According to many local activists, last week’s demolition in Atir-Umm al-Hieran was the largest display of Israeli force in demolishing a Bedouin village so far this year, and has drawn comparisons to the first demolition of another unrecognized village, <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/al-araqib\">al-Araqib</a>.</p>\n<p>In July 2010, more than 1,200 Israeli police destroyed 46 structures, including 30 homes, in al-Araqib and made all 300 village residents homeless overnight.</p>\n<p>But it wasn’t the first time the Israeli authorities have aimed to displace Bedouin families in Atir-Umm al-Hieran.</p>\n<p>After some 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forcibly evicted from their homes following the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, the villagers were moved from their community in Khirbet Zubaleh, which today is a Jewish-Israeli community called Kibbutz Shuval.</p>\n<p>After being transferred a handful of other times, the Israeli government finally resettled the residents to the Wadi Atory area in 1956, on an order from the Israeli military governor in the Naqab at the time. This is where they built the community of Atir-Umm al-Hieran that exists today.</p>\n<p>Approximately 1,000 residents &#8212; all members of the Abu al-Qian Bedouin tribe &#8212; live in Atir-Umm al-Hieran. A single, pothole-ridden road leads to and from the village, which sits just northwest of the recognized Bedouin township of Hura.</p>\n<h2>Facing eviction</h2>\n<p>In Atir, the Israeli government aims to build a forest in the exact spot residents now live, while in place of Umm al-Hieran, the state plans to build a Jewish-only town, named Hiran. If these plans go ahead, all 1,000 Bedouin living in the area will be evicted against their will.</p>\n<p>“They will start in villages [where] there are no land claims. The people of Umm al-Hieran and Atir and Wadi al-Naam [the largest unrecognized Bedouin village in the Naqab] are people who were already displaced once, twice or three times. They are not sitting on their ancestral lands, so they will start with them,” said Dr. Thabet Abu Ras, head of the Naqab office of <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/adalah\">Adalah</a>, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel.</p>\n<p>Abu Ras told The Electronic Intifada that Israel is not only trying to evict Bedouin citizens, but also erase all traces of Arab presence in the Naqab or Negev desert.</p>\n<p>“It’s amazing how the government is trying to uproot the people and their history in the same place. They were uprooting all the trees that are associated with the Arabs,” he said. “I think the government is intensifying its efforts to implement Prawer before even the law is passed.”</p>\n<p>The Prawer Plan will be brought to the Israeli parliament, the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/knesset\">Knesset</a>, for a first reading in the process of becoming a law next Monday (27 May).</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, small demonstrations have been held in Bedouin communities throughout the Negev against the plan over the past week, and a protest is planned for Monday in front of the Knesset as well.</p>\n<p>“There are lots of tensions in the field. There is a lot of mobilization. Young people now are more involved in this, but until now, we didn’t succeed to bring all the tribes to work together. But it can happen,” Abu Ras said.</p>\n<p>“People are insisting on staying in their lands. They can demolish their houses, but they will stay on the land.”</p>\n<p><em>Jillian Kestler-D’Amours is a reporter and documentary filmmaker based in Jerusalem.

+Hundreds of Israeli police were deployed to demolish the Bedouin village of Atir-Umm al-Hieran.
+ActiveStillsA clothesline hangs between heaps of twisted metal and cracked slabs of concrete, while a handful of olive trees lay haphazardly, their roots exposed, under the scorching Naqab desert sun.
+Less than a week ago, this was where approximately 600 Israeli police officers were deployed to demolish 18 structures, including 10 homes, and uproot 600 trees in the “unrecognized” Palestinian Bedouin village of Atir-Umm al-Hieran, just 30 minutes from the major city of Bir al-Saba (Beersheva).
+Residents reported seeing approximately thirty flatbed trucks haul away most of the rubble, while Israeli police set up a dozen roadblocks in both directions along the main road, preventing residents from trying to stop the bulldozers. Only a few destroyed buildings were left behind and broken toys, notebooks and other personal effects remained scattered across the sand.
+“It’s the worst thing that can happen,” said Khader Abu al-Qian, a village elder, from the shade of a makeshift tent across the street from the scene of the destruction.
+The Israeli authorities demolished two homes in Atir once before, in 2007. But police and agents with the Israel Land Administration regularly come to the village to take photographs of buildings, Abu al-Qian explained. They even once asked him if he would rather demolish the village himself, or wait for them to do it.
+“More extreme”
+Despite this experience, Abu al-Qian said that last week’s demolition — in an area of the village home to fifty persons, including over two dozen children — was something completely different.
+“They have become more extreme in everything,” he told The Electronic Intifada. “I wasn’t ready for this. I didn’t imagine they could ‘clean’ the area like this.”
+Abu al-Qian’s 18-year-old son Nour echoed this sentiment.
+“This time, they destroyed everything,” Nour, who witnessed the demolition from beginning to end, told The Electronic Intifada. He said residents had no time to take their belongings out of their homes before the demolitions were carried out.
+Nour now sleeps in a makeshift tent with four of his siblings; inside the tent, thin mats and blankets were piled on cinderblocks, gathering dust as the wind swept through the village. “It’s very difficult. But we will rebuild the houses. We will remain here,” he said.
+Some 200,000 Palestinian Bedouin citizens of Israel live in the country’s southern Naqab (Negev) desert region. Though they constitute approximately 30 percent of the area’s total population, the Bedouin live on just five percent of the land. Many have legal claims to their lands pending before Israeli courts.
+Lack of services
+Approximately half of the Bedouin community lives in government-planned townships, which suffer from high unemployment and poverty, and a widespread lack of services. The other half live in three dozen unrecognized villages, like Atir-Umm al-Hieran.
+Israel does not provide these unrecognized villages with basic services, including water, electricity, schools, or health facilities, and regularly demolishes homes and other structures.
+Israel has pursued a policy of Bedouin urbanization for decades, in an effort to contain the Bedouin population on as little land as possible. In 2008, Israel appointed former high court judge Eliezer Goldberg to look into “Bedouin settlement” issues in the Naqab.
+Shortly afterwards, a new committee was formed to implement Goldberg’s findings under Ehud Prawer, director of planning policy in the prime minister’s office.
+The Prawer Plan, as it became known, suggested forcibly evicting 40 percent of the Bedouin community — between 30,000 and 40,000 people — from their homes, and moving them into urban townships. The Israeli cabinet approved the Prawer Plan in its original form in September 2011.
+After Benny Begin, then a minister, made very minor changes to the plan, an updated version was approved in January of this year, and lauded by the government as a generous proposal that will help modernize the Bedouin community.
+“The goal of this historic decision is to put an end to the spread of illegal building by Negev Bedouin and lead to the better integration of the Bedouin into Israeli society,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the plan was finalized (“Cabinet approves Minister Benny Begin’s recommendations on formalizing the status of Bedouin settlement in the Negev,” Prime Minister’s Office, 27 January 2013).
+“This brave decision will facilitate the continued development and prosperity of the Negev, for the benefit of all its residents.”
+Affront to basic rights
+But both local and international human rights bodies, including Amnesty International and the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, among others, have criticized the plan as an affront to the Bedouin’s basic human rights.
+“Forcibly evicting tens of thousands of Bedouin from communities where they have lived for generations cannot be justified in the name of economic development or any other reason,” said Ann Harrison, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.
+“What the proposed law does is send the Bedouin communities into a human rights desert by stripping already vulnerable citizens of legal safeguards against house demolitions and forced evictions. This blatantly violates international law,” Harrison added (“Israel: New government must scrap plans to forcibly evict Bedouin,” 20 April 2013).
+According to many local activists, last week’s demolition in Atir-Umm al-Hieran was the largest display of Israeli force in demolishing a Bedouin village so far this year, and has drawn comparisons to the first demolition of another unrecognized village, al-Araqib.
+In July 2010, more than 1,200 Israeli police destroyed 46 structures, including 30 homes, in al-Araqib and made all 300 village residents homeless overnight.
+But it wasn’t the first time the Israeli authorities have aimed to displace Bedouin families in Atir-Umm al-Hieran.
+After some 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forcibly evicted from their homes following the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, the villagers were moved from their community in Khirbet Zubaleh, which today is a Jewish-Israeli community called Kibbutz Shuval.
+After being transferred a handful of other times, the Israeli government finally resettled the residents to the Wadi Atory area in 1956, on an order from the Israeli military governor in the Naqab at the time. This is where they built the community of Atir-Umm al-Hieran that exists today.
+Approximately 1,000 residents — all members of the Abu al-Qian Bedouin tribe — live in Atir-Umm al-Hieran. A single, pothole-ridden road leads to and from the village, which sits just northwest of the recognized Bedouin township of Hura.
+Facing eviction
+In Atir, the Israeli government aims to build a forest in the exact spot residents now live, while in place of Umm al-Hieran, the state plans to build a Jewish-only town, named Hiran. If these plans go ahead, all 1,000 Bedouin living in the area will be evicted against their will.
+“They will start in villages [where] there are no land claims. The people of Umm al-Hieran and Atir and Wadi al-Naam [the largest unrecognized Bedouin village in the Naqab] are people who were already displaced once, twice or three times. They are not sitting on their ancestral lands, so they will start with them,” said Dr. Thabet Abu Ras, head of the Naqab office of Adalah, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel.
+Abu Ras told The Electronic Intifada that Israel is not only trying to evict Bedouin citizens, but also erase all traces of Arab presence in the Naqab or Negev desert.
+“It’s amazing how the government is trying to uproot the people and their history in the same place. They were uprooting all the trees that are associated with the Arabs,” he said. “I think the government is intensifying its efforts to implement Prawer before even the law is passed.”
+The Prawer Plan will be brought to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, for a first reading in the process of becoming a law next Monday (27 May).
+Meanwhile, small demonstrations have been held in Bedouin communities throughout the Negev against the plan over the past week, and a protest is planned for Monday in front of the Knesset as well.
+“There are lots of tensions in the field. There is a lot of mobilization. Young people now are more involved in this, but until now, we didn’t succeed to bring all the tribes to work together. But it can happen,” Abu Ras said.
+“People are insisting on staying in their lands. They can demolish their houses, but they will stay on the land.”

+<p>Enough details about Kerry’s framework proposal have been leaked to the media to know that, once again, the US government is playing the role of Israel’s defense attorney. The essays in this book show not only why the framework is unjust but also why it is unworkable.</p>
+<p>The book emerged out of papers given at a conference hosted by the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.</p>
+<p>Editors Rochelle Davis and Mimi Kirk have assembled essays by <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/ali-abunimah">Ali Abunimah</a>, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada; Palestinian human rights attorney <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/noura-erekat">Noura Erakat</a>; Michael C. Hudson, professor emeritus at Georgetown and past president of the Middle East Studies Association; <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/people/saree-makdisi">Saree Makdisi</a>, author of the invaluable <em>Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation</em>; historian Gabriel Piterberg of the University of California, Los Angeles; and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/sara-roy">Sara Roy</a>, a senior research scholar at <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/harvard-university">Harvard University’s</a> Center for Middle East Studies, among others.</p>
+<p>Of particular note is Boston University law professor Susan Musarrat Akram’s chapter on the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/refugees">Palestinian refugee issue</a>, especially given that the US framework proposal echoes the Israeli government’s insistence that Palestinian refugees will not be allowed the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/right-return">right of return</a>.</p>
+<p>Noting that one of every three refugees worldwide is Palestinian, Akram shows how refugee rights are grounded in some of the most widely ratified international treaties, including the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1954 Convention on Stateless Persons.</p>
+<p>Recently, <em><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/new-york-times-0">The New York Times</a></em> columnist and “liberal Zionist” <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/roger-cohen">Roger Cohen</a> <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/ny-times-roger-cohen-bigot-not-liberal-says-omar-barghouti">asserted</a> that the right of return is simply a “claim.”</p>
+<p>Akram details how this so-called claim in fact has been implemented repeatedly in international agreements that helped resolve conflicts in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>, Burundi, Bosnia, Cambodia, Croatia, El Salvador, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/iran">Iran</a>, Kosovo, the Russian Federation and Rwanda, among many others.</p>
+<h2>Rights excluded</h2>
+<p>Not only has the legal right of refugees to return to their homes been established in these agreements, but mechanisms for implementation have also been created. Yet when it comes to Palestinians, the right of return is excluded &#8212; their “legal rights emasculated,” as Akram puts it.</p>
+<p>Kerry’s framework also officially commits the United States to support an Israeli demand that the Palestinians recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. The essays by Abunimah and Makdisi go directly to this issue.</p>
+<p>Abunimah focuses on the 1998 <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/belfast-agreement">Belfast Agreement</a> as an illustration of how a long-standing conflict &#8212; in this case, a Protestant majority holding power over a Catholic minority in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/northern-ireland">Northern Ireland</a> &#8212; can be resolved through principles of equal rights.</p>
+<p>Although the agreement preserved a “<a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/two-state-solution">two-state solution</a>” for the time being, it required one of those states to cease being “a Protestant state for a Protestant people.”</p>
+<h2>Irish precedent</h2>
+<p>The Belfast Agreement establishes a precedent for Palestine-Israel provided that Israel transforms itself into an inclusive and democratic state, Abunimah argues.</p>
+<p>Under this precedent, even if a two-state solution were to come about, Israel “could not continue to discriminate against its Palestinian citizens or against Palestinian refugees on the grounds that a Palestinian state exists elsewhere.</p>
+<p>Israel would have to undergo a transformation similar to the one under way in Northern Ireland, with inclusive and robust mechanisms to monitor and enforce equal rights, redistribute resources equitably, and adopt neutral symbols acceptable to all communities. A <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/one-state-solution">one-state solution</a> would entail exactly the same challenges on a larger territory.”</p>
+<p>The fact that the Israeli government regards a “state for all its citizens” as an “existential threat” and threatens to punish even advocacy of the idea shows that “inequality and discrimination are foundational elements of the Israeli state, not incidental to it,” Abunimah notes.</p>
+<p>The contrast between the Israeli and Palestinian responses to the principles underlying the Belfast Agreement is also notable.</p>
+<p>Whereas the Israeli government is hostile to those principles, Abunimah notes that <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hamas">Hamas</a>, among others, have embraced the agreement as a model for ending violence while negotiating a long-term solution.</p>
+<h2>Inequality enshrined in law</h2>
+<p>Makdisi takes this same theme and points to the 2007 publication of a draft democratic constitution by <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/adalah">Adalah</a>, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, that calls for a secular, multicultural state.</p>
+<p>Makdisi points out that the publication of this document coincided with the release of a report by the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/un-committee-elimination-racial-discrimination-cerd">United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination</a>.</p>
+<p>The report not only documented the many examples of inequality enshrined in law in Israel, such as denying the right of a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship to marry a Palestinian from the occupied <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/west-bank">West Bank</a> or <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza">Gaza</a>, but also challenged Israel to show how defining itself as a Jewish state “does not result, in any systematic distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent or national or ethnic origin in the enjoyment of human rights.”</p>
+<h2>Politics of citizenship</h2>
+<p>Makdisi challenges political <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/zionism">Zionism</a> as a nineteenth century ideology that has no place in the 21st century. He calls for a single, democratic and secular state throughout all of Palestine “in which Jews, Muslims, Christians and, indeed, the adherents of other faiths or of no faith at all will be regarded as equals, a state in which the politics of religion will be replaced by a politics of citizenship.”</p>
+<p>The US political establishment is about to embark on a gamble that it can sell the idea of a colonial-settler, exclusivist state in Israel and a <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bantustans">bantustan</a> state in the West Bank and Gaza, while denying human rights to Palestinian refugees and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.</p>
+<p>It will attempt to do so precisely at a moment in its own history when a more politically aware citizenry is increasingly embracing, if not celebrating, ideas of diversity, inclusivity and multiculturalism under a framework of equal rights for all.</p>
+<p>Moreover, this citizenry is becoming aware that they are confronting a counterrevolution that seeks to reestablish notions of white and male supremacy, exclusivity and inequality. You don’t have to look far to recognize the ideological allies of this counterrevolution.</p>

height=\"500\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture></figure>The publication of <em>Palestine and the Palestinians in the 21st Century</em> (Indiana University Press) is particularly timely given that US Secretary of State <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/john-kerry\">John Kerry</a> is about to unveil a “framework agreement” for final status negotiations intended to shape the future of Palestine.\n<p>Enough details about Kerry’s framework proposal have been leaked to the media to know that, once again, the US government is playing the role of Israel’s defense attorney. The essays in this book show not only why the framework is unjust but also why it is unworkable.</p>\n<p>The book emerged out of papers given at a conference hosted by the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.</p>\n<p>Editors Rochelle Davis and Mimi Kirk have assembled essays by <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/ali-abunimah\">Ali Abunimah</a>, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada; Palestinian human rights attorney <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/noura-erekat\">Noura Erakat</a>; Michael C. Hudson, professor emeritus at Georgetown and past president of the Middle East Studies Association; <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/people/saree-makdisi\">Saree Makdisi</a>, author of the invaluable <em>Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation</em>; historian Gabriel Piterberg of the University of California, Los Angeles; and <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/sara-roy\">Sara Roy</a>, a senior research scholar at <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/harvard-university\">Harvard University’s</a> Center for Middle East Studies, among others.</p>\n<p>Of particular note is Boston University law professor Susan Musarrat Akram’s chapter on the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/refugees\">Palestinian refugee issue</a>, especially given that the US framework proposal echoes the Israeli government’s insistence that Palestinian refugees will not be allowed the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/right-return\">right of return</a>.</p>\n<p>Noting that one of every three refugees worldwide is Palestinian, Akram shows how refugee rights are grounded in some of the most widely ratified international treaties, including the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1954 Convention on Stateless Persons.</p>\n<p>Recently, <em><a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/new-york-times-0\">The New York Times</a></em> columnist and “liberal Zionist” <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/roger-cohen\">Roger Cohen</a> <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/ny-times-roger-cohen-bigot-not-liberal-says-omar-barghouti\">asserted</a> that the right of return is simply a “claim.”</p>\n<p>Akram details how this so-called claim in fact has been implemented repeatedly in international agreements that helped resolve conflicts in <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/afghanistan\">Afghanistan</a>, Burundi, Bosnia, Cambodia, Croatia, El Salvador, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/iran\">Iran</a>, Kosovo, the Russian Federation and Rwanda, among many others.</p>\n<h2>Rights excluded</h2>\n<p>Not only has the legal right of refugees to return to their homes been established in these agreements, but mechanisms for implementation have also been created. Yet when it comes to Palestinians, the right of return is excluded &#8212; their “legal rights emasculated,” as Akram puts it.</p>\n<p>Kerry’s framework also officially commits the United States to support an Israeli demand that the Palestinians recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. The essays by Abunimah and Makdisi go directly to this issue.</p>\n<p>Abunimah focuses on the 1998 <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/belfast-agreement\">Belfast Agreement</a> as an illustration of how a long-standing conflict &#8212; in this case, a Protestant majority holding power over a Catholic minority in <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/northern-ireland\">Northern Ireland</a> &#8212; can be resolved through principles of equal rights.</p>\n<p>Although the agreement preserved a “<a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/two-state-solution\">two-state solution</a>” for the time being, it required one of those states to cease being “a Protestant state for a Protestant people.”</p>\n<h2>Irish precedent</h2>\n<p>The Belfast Agreement establishes a precedent for Palestine-Israel provided that Israel transforms itself into an inclusive and democratic state, Abunimah argues.</p>\n<p>Under this precedent, even if a two-state solution were to come about, Israel “could not continue to discriminate against its Palestinian citizens or against Palestinian refugees on the grounds that a Palestinian state exists elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Israel would have to undergo a transformation similar to the one under way in Northern Ireland, with inclusive and robust mechanisms to monitor and enforce equal rights, redistribute resources equitably, and adopt neutral symbols acceptable to all communities. A <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/one-state-solution\">one-state solution</a> would entail exactly the same challenges on a larger territory.”</p>\n<p>The fact that the Israeli government regards a “state for all its citizens” as an “existential threat” and threatens to punish even advocacy of the idea shows that “inequality and discrimination are foundational elements of the Israeli state, not incidental to it,” Abunimah notes.</p>\n<p>The contrast between the Israeli and Palestinian responses to the principles underlying the Belfast Agreement is also notable.</p>\n<p>Whereas the Israeli government is hostile to those principles, Abunimah notes that <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hamas\">Hamas</a>, among others, have embraced the agreement as a model for ending violence while negotiating a long-term solution.</p>\n<h2>Inequality enshrined in law</h2>\n<p>Makdisi takes this same theme and points to the 2007 publication of a draft democratic constitution by <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/adalah\">Adalah</a>, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, that calls for a secular, multicultural state.</p>\n<p>Makdisi points out that the publication of this document coincided with the release of a report by the <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/un-committee-elimination-racial-discrimination-cerd\">United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination</a>.</p>\n<p>The report not only documented the many examples of inequality enshrined in law in Israel, such as denying the right of a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship to marry a Palestinian from the occupied <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/west-bank\">West Bank</a> or <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza\">Gaza</a>, but also challenged Israel to show how defining itself as a Jewish state “does not result, in any systematic distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent or national or ethnic origin in the enjoyment of human rights.”</p>\n<h2>Politics of citizenship</h2>\n<p>Makdisi challenges political <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/zionism\">Zionism</a> as a nineteenth century ideology that has no place in the 21st century. He calls for a single, democratic and secular state throughout all of Palestine “in which Jews, Muslims, Christians and, indeed, the adherents of other faiths or of no faith at all will be regarded as equals, a state in which the politics of religion will be replaced by a politics of citizenship.”</p>\n<p>The US political establishment is about to embark on a gamble that it can sell the idea of a colonial-settler, exclusivist state in Israel and a <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bantustans\">bantustan</a> state in the West Bank and Gaza, while denying human rights to Palestinian refugees and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.</p>\n<p>It will attempt to do so precisely at a moment in its own history when a more politically aware citizenry is increasingly embracing, if not celebrating, ideas of diversity, inclusivity and multiculturalism under a framework of equal rights for all.</p>\n<p>Moreover, this citizenry is becoming aware that they are confronting a counterrevolution that seeks to reestablish notions of white and male supremacy, exclusivity and inequality. You don’t have to look far to recognize the ideological allies of this counterrevolution.</p>\n<p><em>Rod Such is a former editor for </em>World Book<em> and </em>Encarta<em> encyclopedias.

+The publication of Palestine and the Palestinians in the 21st Century (Indiana University Press) is particularly timely given that US Secretary of State John Kerry is about to unveil a “framework agreement” for final status negotiations intended to shape the future of Palestine.
+Enough details about Kerry’s framework proposal have been leaked to the media to know that, once again, the US government is playing the role of Israel’s defense attorney. The essays in this book show not only why the framework is unjust but also why it is unworkable.
+The book emerged out of papers given at a conference hosted by the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.
+Editors Rochelle Davis and Mimi Kirk have assembled essays by Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada; Palestinian human rights attorney Noura Erakat; Michael C. Hudson, professor emeritus at Georgetown and past president of the Middle East Studies Association; Saree Makdisi, author of the invaluable Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation; historian Gabriel Piterberg of the University of California, Los Angeles; and Sara Roy, a senior research scholar at Harvard University’s Center for Middle East Studies, among others.
+Of particular note is Boston University law professor Susan Musarrat Akram’s chapter on the Palestinian refugee issue, especially given that the US framework proposal echoes the Israeli government’s insistence that Palestinian refugees will not be allowed the right of return.
+Noting that one of every three refugees worldwide is Palestinian, Akram shows how refugee rights are grounded in some of the most widely ratified international treaties, including the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1954 Convention on Stateless Persons.
+Recently, The New York Times columnist and “liberal Zionist” Roger Cohen asserted that the right of return is simply a “claim.”
+Akram details how this so-called claim in fact has been implemented repeatedly in international agreements that helped resolve conflicts in Afghanistan, Burundi, Bosnia, Cambodia, Croatia, El Salvador, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, Iran, Kosovo, the Russian Federation and Rwanda, among many others.
+Rights excluded
+Not only has the legal right of refugees to return to their homes been established in these agreements, but mechanisms for implementation have also been created. Yet when it comes to Palestinians, the right of return is excluded — their “legal rights emasculated,” as Akram puts it.
+Kerry’s framework also officially commits the United States to support an Israeli demand that the Palestinians recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. The essays by Abunimah and Makdisi go directly to this issue.
+Abunimah focuses on the 1998 Belfast Agreement as an illustration of how a long-standing conflict — in this case, a Protestant majority holding power over a Catholic minority in Northern Ireland — can be resolved through principles of equal rights.
+Although the agreement preserved a “two-state solution” for the time being, it required one of those states to cease being “a Protestant state for a Protestant people.”
+Irish precedent
+The Belfast Agreement establishes a precedent for Palestine-Israel provided that Israel transforms itself into an inclusive and democratic state, Abunimah argues.
+Under this precedent, even if a two-state solution were to come about, Israel “could not continue to discriminate against its Palestinian citizens or against Palestinian refugees on the grounds that a Palestinian state exists elsewhere.
+Israel would have to undergo a transformation similar to the one under way in Northern Ireland, with inclusive and robust mechanisms to monitor and enforce equal rights, redistribute resources equitably, and adopt neutral symbols acceptable to all communities. A one-state solution would entail exactly the same challenges on a larger territory.”
+The fact that the Israeli government regards a “state for all its citizens” as an “existential threat” and threatens to punish even advocacy of the idea shows that “inequality and discrimination are foundational elements of the Israeli state, not incidental to it,” Abunimah notes.
+The contrast between the Israeli and Palestinian responses to the principles underlying the Belfast Agreement is also notable.
+Whereas the Israeli government is hostile to those principles, Abunimah notes that Hamas, among others, have embraced the agreement as a model for ending violence while negotiating a long-term solution.
+Inequality enshrined in law
+Makdisi takes this same theme and points to the 2007 publication of a draft democratic constitution by Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, that calls for a secular, multicultural state.
+Makdisi points out that the publication of this document coincided with the release of a report by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
+The report not only documented the many examples of inequality enshrined in law in Israel, such as denying the right of a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship to marry a Palestinian from the occupied West Bank or Gaza, but also challenged Israel to show how defining itself as a Jewish state “does not result, in any systematic distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent or national or ethnic origin in the enjoyment of human rights.”
+Politics of citizenship
+Makdisi challenges political Zionism as a nineteenth century ideology that has no place in the 21st century. He calls for a single, democratic and secular state throughout all of Palestine “in which Jews, Muslims, Christians and, indeed, the adherents of other faiths or of no faith at all will be regarded as equals, a state in which the politics of religion will be replaced by a politics of citizenship.”
+The US political establishment is about to embark on a gamble that it can sell the idea of a colonial-settler, exclusivist state in Israel and a bantustan state in the West Bank and Gaza, while denying human rights to Palestinian refugees and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.
+It will attempt to do so precisely at a moment in its own history when a more politically aware citizenry is increasingly embracing, if not celebrating, ideas of diversity, inclusivity and multiculturalism under a framework of equal rights for all.
+Moreover, this citizenry is becoming aware that they are confronting a counterrevolution that seeks to reestablish notions of white and male supremacy, exclusivity and inequality. You don’t have to look far to recognize the ideological allies of this counterrevolution.

+<p>Trapped under the rubble of photos and videos</p>
+<p>Of Palestinian children trapped under the rubble.</p>
+<p>Of teenage boys who look like my brother</p>
+<p>Carrying dead teenage boys who look like my brother.</p>
+<p>What you call defense</p>
+<p>Is the destruction of generations</p>
+<p>Of land older than time</p>
+<p>Of fruit of <em>zeitoun</em>, of Arabic coffee</p>
+<p>Land that births holy life</p>
+<p>Even as the world tells them</p>
+<p>“Die.”</p>
+<p>I’m starving</p>
+<p>Or rather, I’m not eating</p>
+<p>Because no matter what or how much I eat</p>
+<p>My body still feels empty.</p>
+<p>“Look! <em>Look</em> what we can do to you,”</p>
+<p>Shouts the state.</p>
+<p>“Look! <em>Look</em> how we can reduce your life to nothing,”</p>
+<p>Whisper the media.</p>
+<p>They can’t obliterate me with bombs so they try</p>
+<p>to obliterate me into silence.</p>
+<p>Look at you, terrorist</p>
+<p>Says the man on television.</p>
+<p>I was 9 years old</p>
+<p>And afraid</p>
+<p>I turn off the TV</p>
+<p>I begin typing into Google, “Are Palestinians terrorists?”</p>
+<p>The phrase auto populates before I finish.</p>
+<p>Terrorist</p>
+<p>They say, in between dropping white phosphorous bombs</p>
+<p>That light up the darkness of an unlit Gaza.</p>
+<p>No electricity, no internet, no food, no water, no leaving,</p>
+<p>no staying.</p>
+<p>Who controls the Gaza Strip? Hamas?</p>
+<p>I wonder what terrorism looks like to</p>
+<p>Palestinians</p>
+<p>Iraqis</p>
+<p>Yemenis</p>
+<p>Syrians</p>
+<p>Afghanis</p>
+<p>Libyans</p>
+<p>Pakistanis</p>
+<p>Who do they see on TV?</p>
+<p>Bombarding them with bombs and justifications</p>
+<p>You tell us we are paying for our sins.</p>
+<p>Did you intend to pay for yours?</p>
+<p>I think about the first time I ever saw mass</p>
+<p>desecration of human life on television.</p>
+<p>It was a movie about the Holocaust.</p>
+<p>I never forgot it. I vowed to myself that I</p>
+<p>Would never</p>
+<p>Ever</p>
+<p><em>Ever</em></p>
+<p>Be a person who said nothing.</p>
+<p>Did nothing.</p>
+<p>I could not believe the stories of those who</p>
+<p>Kept Jewish children alive in cupboards</p>
+<p>Preserving life alongside preserved jams</p>
+<p>And teacups</p>
+<p>That were allowed to rattle</p>
+<p>More so than a child.</p>
+<p>I think about African ancestors,</p>
+<p>Who, after building an entire country</p>
+<p>Built underground railroads to freedom</p>
+<p>Since they could not walk it above.</p>
+<p>I think about how indigenous peoples in America</p>
+<p>Diluted to less than 1 percent</p>
+<p>Through the wicked poison of colonialism</p>
+<p>Continue to protect the land</p>
+<p>Continue to teach life.</p>
+<p>While I write this, I get a text from my dad:</p>
+<p>“Israel is now using the most extensive bombing</p>
+<p>they’ve ever used in/outside of Gaza City.</p>
+<p>Continuous heavy bombing. There will be hundreds</p>
+<p>and thousands of Palestinian deaths that come from this.”</p>
+<p>“CNN is filming it live,” he adds.</p>
+<p>There is no time to feel small</p>
+<p>A small child in Gaza is killed at the equivalent</p>
+<p>Of once every 10 minutes.</p>
+<p>One for the time it takes to make my breakfast in the morning.</p>
+<p>Two for my shower</p>
+<p>Three for my run</p>
+<p>Thousands in my sleep.</p>

+<p>Voice messages, texts and other communications indicate they coordinated attacks in cities where Palestinians live in close proximity to Jews &#8211; including Haifa, Bat Yam and Tiberias in the north, and Ramla and Lydd &#8211; Lod in Hebrew &#8211; in the center, to Beersheba in southern Israel.</p>
+<p>Settlers from Jewish-only colonies in the occupied West Bank also joined the coordinated attacks, with the apparent knowledge and collusion of Israeli officials.</p>
+<p>They communicated via WhatsApp and Telegram, as well as Facebook groups.</p>
+<p>In many cases, extremist organizers said they relied on either the active or passive support of Israeli authorities.</p>

+<h2>Deaths and injuries</h2>
+<p>Palestinian citizens of Israel have been protesting in the streets in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.</p>
+<p>There have been <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/soldier-viciously-beaten-in-jaffa-synagogue-burned-in-lod-as-rioting-renews/">reports</a> of Palestinians torching a synagogue in Lydd and attacking Israelis, including police and soldiers.</p>
+<p>On Monday, 56-year-old Yigal Yehoshua, a Jewish man, <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-israeli-man-killed-two-wounded-during-violent-protests-in-ramle/">died</a> of a head injury he reportedly received when a brick was thrown at his car during unrest by Palestinians in Lydd the previous Tuesday.</p>
+<p>The city&#8217;s imam, Sheikh Yusef al-Bazz, <a href="https://twitter.com/OkbiYasser/status/1394390443123777544">reportedly</a> said Yehoshua was attacked by Jewish Israelis who mistook him for an Arab.</p>
+<p>It remains unclear who caused Yehoshua&#8217;s fatal injury.</p>
+<p>The night before Yehoshua was injured, Moussa Hassouna, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, was shot dead by Jewish residents in Lydd, who claimed “self-defense,” <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-seriously-hurt-in-lod-violence-dies-of-wounds/">according</a> to <em>The Times of Israel</em>.</p>
+<p>The newspaper said an initial investigation indicated “Hassouna was standing dozens of meters away from the Jewish suspects when he was shot.”</p>
+<p>Israeli authorities arrested and then released four Jewish suspects.

+And in Jaffa, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy <a href="https://www.israelhayom.com/2021/05/15/unrest-in-mixed-cities-threatens-to-spill-over-to-judea-and-samaria/">suffered serious burns</a> when his family&#8217;s home was firebombed. His 10-year old sister also suffered less serious injuries in the attack.</p>
+<p>Security cameras reportedly showed two hooded men in a nearby alleyway before the attack.</p>
+<p>Police have arrested an Arab suspect. But <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-israel-arrests-arab-suspect-over-hurling-firebomb-into-jaffa-home-injuring-boy-1.9815231">according to <em>Haaretz</em></a>, the children&#8217;s father has “a hard time believing that the person who attacked his family was Arab, and that he was misidentified by police.”</p>
+<p>This is because the family&#8217;s home was decorated with crescents for Ramadan &#8211; though the lights on the decorations were not working.</p>
+<p>In a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/netanyahu-on-riots-whoever-acts-like-a-terrorist-will-be-treated-like-one-668275">15 May speech</a>, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel to refrain from violence. But his language reflected the systematic racism of the Israeli state.</p>
+<p>“We will not allow our Jewish citizens to be lynched or to live in fear of murderous Arab gangs,” Netanyahu declared, while merely admonishing Jewish citizens not to “take the law into their own hands and attack innocent Arabs, or lynch an innocent Arab.”</p>
+<p>Minimizing the scale of Israeli Jewish violence, Netanyahu claimed that “there was one such case.”</p>
+<p>Adalah <a href="https://www.adalah.org/en/content/view/10320">said</a> Netanyahu “continues to emphasize that Israeli police, employing brutal violence against Palestinian citizens, will receive full political backing for their actions.”</p>
+<p>Palestinian citizens of Israel are the survivors and their descendants of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/nakba">Nakba</a>, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Zionist militias before and after Israel was created in 1948.</p>
+<p>Unlike millions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, they have some civic rights, like the right to vote. But they face entrenched discrimination enshrined in <a href="https://www.adalah.org/en/content/view/7771">dozens of laws</a>.</p>
+<p>“The rule of law has no value as far as Palestinians are concerned” throughout historic Palestine, Adalah added.</p>
+<p>B’Tselem <a href="https://www.btselem.org/sites/default/files/publications/202101_this_is_apartheid_eng.pdf">stated</a> earlier this year that “Jewish supremacy” is Israel’s “single organizing principle.”

+<p>Neglected by both the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/palestinian-authority">Palestinian Authority</a> and harassed by the Israeli military, these families have to survive without running water or electricity.</p>
+<p>Any water wells dug by the families themselves will likely be destroyed by Israel, which maintains strict control over water resources in the occupied West Bank. Israel does not issue building permits for more permanent structures. Any attempt to build such structures will likely end in demolition.</p>
+<h2>Unanswered appeals</h2>
+<p>Appeals to the PA to help Jordan Valley communities secure vital infrastructure like roads and water pipes or access to education and health care have so far been in vain. Bedouin children have to travel nearly 20 kilometers or more than 12 miles to reach the nearest schools in the towns of Tubas or Tammoun. And there are no Palestinian emergency services in the area.</p>
+<p>“We used to welcome [PA] officials when they came with photographers and reporters,” said local resident Abdulrahim Bsharat. But 90 percent of the promises they brought have come to nothing, he said.</p>
+<p>How hard is it for Palestinian officials to “be honest with their people?” the 66-year-old asked. He lost a son after an accident. With an ambulance arriving six hours later, the boy bled to death.</p>
+<p>Ibrahim Ahmed Salem is tired of unfulfilled promises. The 35-year-old waited years for a solar power unit for his home, one that might allow him to watch a few hours of TV and charge cell phones. When his neighbor received one from the relevant department in the PA, and he didn&#8217;t, however, he decided there was no point in waiting any longer. He sold a number of sheep and bought his own.</p>
+<p>The last assistance he received from the PA was 40 kilograms or nearly 90 pounds of wheat. That was in 2008.</p>
+<h2>Shrinking land</h2>
+<p>Sheepherders for many generations, the Bedouins have seen the space for their traditional livelihoods diminish over the decades since the Israeli occupation of the Jordan Valley in 1967. <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israeli-settlements">Israeli settlements</a> continue expanding while the army keeps appropriating territory for training or as <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/closed-military-zones">closed military zones</a>, excluding those who have long lived and farmed there.</p>
+<p>These practices and settlement expansion have led to the <a href="http://www.btselem.org/jordan_valley">demolition of hundreds of homes</a> and the <a href="http://www.btselem.org/video/20150824/temp_evacuations_in_jordan_valley">“temporary” displacement</a> of whole Bedouin communities. Under the latter practice, communities have been repeatedly uprooted &#8212; sometimes every few days.</p>
+<p>Israel has made little secret of its determination to hang on to the Jordan Valley under any final political agreement it would strike with the PA leadership, and it has built large agricultural settlements along the stretch that borders Jordan.</p>
+<p>According to the Israeli human rights group <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/btselem">B&#8217;Tselem</a>, <a href="http://www.btselem.org/jordan_valley">97 percent</a> of the Jordan Valley is off-limits for Palestinian use. This is almost 25 percent of the total area of the West Bank.</p>
+<p>In January, Israel <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-palestinians-idUSKCN0UY187">announced</a> it was annexing 154 hectares or 380 acres of agricultural land just next to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jericho">Jericho</a> and on the northern tip of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/dead-sea">Dead Sea</a>. It marks the largest land appropriation since 2014, when Israel purloined 400 hectares or nearly 1,000 acres of land to the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gush-etzion">Gush Etzion</a> settlement bloc outside <a href-="">Bethlehem</a>.</p>

+Tom Hurndall, the British Photographer shot in Gaza while shepherding young children out of the line of fire, died last night at 7.45pm. His death came nine months after an incident in which he was shot in the head by an <span class="caps">IDF</span> soldier which left him in a vegetative state.
+<p>The traumatic nature of his injuries has meant that at any time Tom has been vulnerable to serious infection and his death came after his body was unsuccessful in overcoming an episode of&nbsp;Pneumonia.</p>
+<p>At a hearing on Monday, a soldier arrested last week in connection with the shooting of Tom Hurndall, has finally been indicted on six charges: Aggravated Assault; two counts of Obstruction of Justice; Incitement to False Testimony; False Testimony; Improper&nbsp;Conduct.</p>
+<p>The decision of the court to prosecute the soldier on a charge of Aggravated Assault rather than attempted murder is based on the assumption that the soldier did not intend to murder&nbsp;Tom.</p>
+<p>The family believes that based on its own extensive investigation and the soldiers testimony that he shot Tom using an advanced telescopic lens, it is improbable that the shot which entered Tom&#8217;s forehead was intended to do anything other than&nbsp;kill.</p>
+<p>The family will be pressing its lawyers to ensure that the appropriate charge - murder, is applied in this case. The family lawyers were advised by the prosecuting judge yesterday afternoon that in the event of Tom&#8217;s death, the charges are likely to be&nbsp;changed.</p>
+<p>The new charges shall be either manslaughter or murder. The maximum penalty for Manslaughter is 20 years imprisonment and for Murder there is only one penalty - life&nbsp;imprisonment.</p>
+<p>Tom&#8217;s family have made it clear that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the full prosecution for the person responsible for murdering Tom and they expect the imposition of the maximum penalty in this respect. They additionally expect that the harshest penalties should be imposed on all those involved in the obstruction of&nbsp;justice.</p>
+<p><span class="caps">NB</span>: A second soldier has been detained and is expected to be indicted on charges of Obstructing Justice and False&nbsp;Testimony.</p>
+<p>The indictment of this soldier and his testimony have totally destroyed the credibility of the initial <span class="caps">IDF</span> investigation and Field Report. It was this Field Report - presented to the British Embassy in Tel Aviv and later to the family of Tom Hurndall last May, that totally exonerated the soldier(s) responsible in the shooting of Tom&nbsp;Hurndall.</p>
+<p>It is very much the case that if it were not for the ceaseless campaigning and lobbying on the part of Tom Hurndall&#8217;s family and friends and in particular the family&#8217;s own investigation (which amassed 14 independent eyewitness statements along with photographic and ballistic evidence) a military police investigation is not likely to have been instigated and the truth would have remained&nbsp;uncovered.</p>
+<p>The family now assert that the existing initial inquiry procedure is by its nature flawed and prone to abuse and they ask that the <span class="caps">IDF</span> immediately review its initial inquiry procedure with a view to replacing it with an independent&nbsp;inquiry.</p>
+<p>They further call on the Israeli Army to radically examine the current rules of engagement and to take steps to eradicate the existing culture of impunity which exists in the Occupied&nbsp;Territories.</p>
+<p>The family hope that the prosecution of those responsible for the shooting of Tom Hurndall and the prosecution of those responsible for the deliberate fabrication of evidence, will send the strongest message to all soldiers on the ground in the Occupied Territories ‘that the shooting or killing of innocent civilians and breaches in basic human rights will not be&nbsp;tolerated.’</p>

His death came nine months after an incident in which he was shot in the head by an <span class=\"caps\">IDF</span> soldier which left him in a vegetative state.\n<p>The traumatic nature of his injuries has meant that at any time Tom has been vulnerable to serious infection and his death came after his body was unsuccessful in overcoming an episode of&nbsp;Pneumonia.</p>\n<p>At a hearing on Monday, a soldier arrested last week in connection with the shooting of Tom Hurndall, has finally been indicted on six charges: Aggravated Assault; two counts of Obstruction of Justice; Incitement to False Testimony; False Testimony; Improper&nbsp;Conduct.</p>\n<p>The decision of the court to prosecute the soldier on a charge of Aggravated Assault rather than attempted murder is based on the assumption that the soldier did not intend to murder&nbsp;Tom.</p>\n<p>The family believes that based on its own extensive investigation and the soldiers testimony that he shot Tom using an advanced telescopic lens, it is improbable that the shot which entered Tom&#8217;s forehead was intended to do anything other than&nbsp;kill.</p>\n<p>The family will be pressing its lawyers to ensure that the appropriate charge - murder, is applied in this case. The family lawyers were advised by the prosecuting judge yesterday afternoon that in the event of Tom&#8217;s death, the charges are likely to be&nbsp;changed.</p>\n<p>The new charges shall be either manslaughter or murder. The maximum penalty for Manslaughter is 20 years imprisonment and for Murder there is only one penalty - life&nbsp;imprisonment.</p>\n<p>Tom&#8217;s family have made it clear that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the full prosecution for the person responsible for murdering Tom and they expect the imposition of the maximum penalty in this respect. They additionally expect that the harshest penalties should be imposed on all those involved in the obstruction of&nbsp;justice.</p>\n<p><span class=\"caps\">NB</span>: A second soldier has been detained and is expected to be indicted on charges of Obstructing Justice and False&nbsp;Testimony.</p>\n<p>The indictment of this soldier and his testimony have totally destroyed the credibility of the initial <span class=\"caps\">IDF</span> investigation and Field Report. It was this Field Report - presented to the British Embassy in Tel Aviv and later to the family of Tom Hurndall last May, that totally exonerated the soldier(s) responsible in the shooting of Tom&nbsp;Hurndall.</p>\n<p>It is very much the case that if it were not for the ceaseless campaigning and lobbying on the part of Tom Hurndall&#8217;s family and friends and in particular the family&#8217;s own investigation (which amassed 14 independent eyewitness statements along with photographic and ballistic evidence) a military police investigation is not likely to have been instigated and the truth would have remained&nbsp;uncovered.</p>\n<p>The family now assert that the existing initial inquiry procedure is by its nature flawed and prone to abuse and they ask that the <span class=\"caps\">IDF</span> immediately review its initial inquiry procedure with a view to replacing it with an independent&nbsp;inquiry.</p>\n<p>They further call on the Israeli Army to radically examine the current rules of engagement and to take steps to eradicate the existing culture of impunity which exists in the Occupied&nbsp;Territories.</p>\n<p>The family hope that the prosecution of those responsible for the shooting of Tom Hurndall and the prosecution of those responsible for the deliberate fabrication of evidence, will send the strongest message to all soldiers on the ground in the Occupied Territories ‘that the shooting or killing of innocent civilians and breaches in basic human rights will not be&nbsp;tolerated.’</p>\n<p><b>Related&nbsp;Links:</b></p>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.tomhurndall.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">The Thomas Hurndall Fund</a>\n<p><i>For further information please contact Carl Arrindell - Family spokesperson on <span class=\"caps\">UK</span> mobile numbers 07799 768768 or 07956 997 497.

+Tom Hurndall (Kay Fernandes)
+Tom Hurndall, the British Photographer shot in Gaza while shepherding young children out of the line of fire, died last night at 7.45pm. His death came nine months after an incident in which he was shot in the head by an IDF soldier which left him in a vegetative state.
+The traumatic nature of his injuries has meant that at any time Tom has been vulnerable to serious infection and his death came after his body was unsuccessful in overcoming an episode of Pneumonia.
+At a hearing on Monday, a soldier arrested last week in connection with the shooting of Tom Hurndall, has finally been indicted on six charges: Aggravated Assault; two counts of Obstruction of Justice; Incitement to False Testimony; False Testimony; Improper Conduct.
+The decision of the court to prosecute the soldier on a charge of Aggravated Assault rather than attempted murder is based on the assumption that the soldier did not intend to murder Tom.
+The family believes that based on its own extensive investigation and the soldiers testimony that he shot Tom using an advanced telescopic lens, it is improbable that the shot which entered Tom’s forehead was intended to do anything other than kill.
+The family will be pressing its lawyers to ensure that the appropriate charge - murder, is applied in this case. The family lawyers were advised by the prosecuting judge yesterday afternoon that in the event of Tom’s death, the charges are likely to be changed.
+The new charges shall be either manslaughter or murder. The maximum penalty for Manslaughter is 20 years imprisonment and for Murder there is only one penalty - life imprisonment.
+Tom’s family have made it clear that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the full prosecution for the person responsible for murdering Tom and they expect the imposition of the maximum penalty in this respect. They additionally expect that the harshest penalties should be imposed on all those involved in the obstruction of justice.
+NB: A second soldier has been detained and is expected to be indicted on charges of Obstructing Justice and False Testimony.
+The indictment of this soldier and his testimony have totally destroyed the credibility of the initial IDF investigation and Field Report. It was this Field Report - presented to the British Embassy in Tel Aviv and later to the family of Tom Hurndall last May, that totally exonerated the soldier(s) responsible in the shooting of Tom Hurndall.
+It is very much the case that if it were not for the ceaseless campaigning and lobbying on the part of Tom Hurndall’s family and friends and in particular the family’s own investigation (which amassed 14 independent eyewitness statements along with photographic and ballistic evidence) a military police investigation is not likely to have been instigated and the truth would have remained uncovered.
+The family now assert that the existing initial inquiry procedure is by its nature flawed and prone to abuse and they ask that the IDF immediately review its initial inquiry procedure with a view to replacing it with an independent inquiry.
+They further call on the Israeli Army to radically examine the current rules of engagement and to take steps to eradicate the existing culture of impunity which exists in the Occupied Territories.
+The family hope that the prosecution of those responsible for the shooting of Tom Hurndall and the prosecution of those responsible for the deliberate fabrication of evidence, will send the strongest message to all soldiers on the ground in the Occupied Territories ‘that the shooting or killing of innocent civilians and breaches in basic human rights will not be tolerated.’

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>After 15 years of imprisonment, Lina al-Jarbouni is struggling with life in the outside world.</p>
+<p>She finds it difficult to sleep at night and to be in a room with an open door. She is still getting to know her nieces and nephews. As they were born while she was in jail, she had only seen photographs of them before her release.</p>
+<p>New technology baffles her. She has been given a smartphone by her brother but she has no idea how to use it.</p>
+<p>Lina, now aged 43, only heard about social media in 2015. She was introduced to the concept by some younger Palestinians who had recently been detained in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hasharon-prison">Hasharon</a>, a prison inside Israel.</p>
+<p>Lina had been detained there since 2004.</p>
+<p>Some of the younger women and girls in Hasharon wrote and performed a play for her. It told the story of children visiting an ill grandmother, whom they had not seen in a long time. Rather than speaking &#8211; or listening &#8211; to their grandmother, the children spent all their time fixated on their mobile phones.</p>
+<p>The younger prisoners “would constantly use words like Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram and I felt like they were talking in a foreign language,” Lina said. “This world, where people can make video calls and stare at their phones for hours, was completely unknown to me.”</p>
+<h2>“Traumatized and devastated”</h2>
+<p>Lina became close friends with many of those women and girls. She also defended their rights.</p>
+<p>The Israeli authorities tried to move the younger detainees from Hasharon, which is reserved for Palestinian political prisoners, to a jail for convicted Israeli criminals. Lina and a number of other prisoners campaigned &#8211; successfully &#8211; to thwart the planned transfer.</p>
+<p>The girls were under 18 and had mainly been arrested by Israel on charges of carrying a knife or accused of involvement in a stabbing incident.</p>
+<p>Most had not been involved in political activism and were “traumatized and devastated” when they arrived in prison, Lina said.</p>
+<p>Her own experience was somewhat different. A member of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/islamic-jihad">Islamic Jihad</a>, she had been politically active for some time before she was arrested in 2002.</p>
+<p>Convicted of joining a proscribed organization and of housing and assisting resistance fighters, she was <a href="https://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=771185">sentenced</a> to 17 years of imprisonment.</p>
+<p>Lina was raised in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/arrabeh">Arrabeh</a>, a town in the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/galilee">Galilee</a> region of historic Palestine. Arrabeh witnessed mass protests and intense clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces during the second intifada. At one such protest in October 2000, two teenagers were <a href="https://www.adalah.org/ar/content/view/1294#%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%A1">shot dead</a> by the police.</p>
+<p>The second intifada had a profound effect on Lina. Yet she had already been politically conscious for many years before it broke out.</p>
+<p>Growing up, she often heard of the events that became known as <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/what-palestines-land-day">Land Day</a>. In March 1976, a general strike was observed in Arrabeh and other parts of the Galilee. The strike was declared in opposition to Israel&#8217;s large-scale theft of Palestinian land.</p>
+<p>Israel opened fire on the protests, killing six Palestinians.</p>
+<p>“People in Arrabeh have always been involved in the Palestinian struggle and never hesitated to sacrifice for the cause,” Lina said. “I realized that I could not simply be a witness to the injustice inflicted on my people. I had to fight it actively.”</p>
+<h2>“All under occupation”</h2>
+<p>Because Arabeh is located within present-day Israel, Lina is officially a citizen of the state. Nonetheless, her Palestinian identity was “never in question,” she said.</p>
+<p>“I learned that all Palestinians are under occupation regardless of the color of their identification card. It doesn’t matter whether you live in the Galilee, the West Bank, Gaza or a refugee camp in exile. We are all Palestinians and resistance is our only choice.”</p>
+<p>Lina was the <a href="http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=776462">longest-serving</a> Palestinian woman in Israeli detention before her release last month.</p>
+<p>Although she was not physically beaten while in custody, she was subjected to sleep deprivation and psychological torture during her interrogation.</p>
+<p>“At times psychological torture is even harder than physical abuse because it never heals and never leaves you,” she said. “The worst part was that they arrested my brother and my sister and threatened to keep them in prison if I didn’t confess.”</p>
+<p>Lina was not the first member of her extended family to be locked up or targeted by Israel.</p>
+<p>Her father, Ahmad, was imprisoned in the 1970s for his involvement in the Palestinian national movement. Hussein al-Jarbouni, her uncle, spent 14 years in prison for resistance activities.</p>
+<p>Another uncle, Omar al-Jarbouni, was a fighter with the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/plo">Palestine Liberation Organization</a>. He was killed by Israel during its 1982 invasion of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/lebanon">Lebanon</a>.</p>
+<p>Visits from her parents and what she called the “unconditional” support of her family helped sustain Lina through the worst times of her imprisonment. “When I was down, they lifted me,” she said.</p>
+<p>Lina undertook a series of hunger strikes while in jail, the first of which was in 2003.</p>
+<p>On that occasion, she was among the Palestinian women who refused food for six days in protest at how they were held in Neve Tirza prison, along with convicted Israeli criminals.</p>
+<p>“We were held in the same section: they [the Israeli prisoners] abused us and cursed us,” she said.</p>
+<h2>“Simple demands matter”</h2>
+<p>Israel accepted their demands, then performed a U-turn. The Palestinian prisoners were moved to Hasharon, yet were <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/harsh-treatment-palestinian-women-prisoners/1810">brought back</a> to Neve Tirza in 2004.</p>
+<p>Lina was among the Palestinian prisoners to undertake a general hunger strike in August that year. The protest meant that female prisoners were returned to Hasharon on a long-term basis.</p>
+<p>The hunger strikers also demanded that Israel lift its restrictions on the amount of clothing that prisoners may receive from their families and that vegetables be provided in prison canteens. “To those outside, these may appear to be minor demands,” Lina said. “But when you are behind bars, even the simplest demands and improvements matter greatly.”</p>
+<p>Lina described the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/mass-hunger-strike-tests-palestinian-unity/20296">mass hunger strike now being undertaken</a> by Palestinian prisoners as a “battle for dignity.” The battle “must be fought both to improve prison conditions and to keep the prisoners’ cause at the top of the Palestinian national agenda,” she said.</p>
+<p>The harsh treatment of prisoners at Hasharon included their arduous journeys on a vehicle known as the <em>bosta</em>. Prisoners have been kept inside a <a href="http://www.addameer.org/news/addameer-and-codepink-55-palestinian-women-and-girls-israel-prisons-international-womens-day">metal cage</a> during such journeys &#8211; mainly from their cells to court hearings.</p>
+<p>“The journey can take up to 18 hours a day in scorching heat or freezing cold,” she said. “Detainees are crammed in the vehicle, shackled. And no consideration is given to their health. It is especially tough if this journey coincides with your period. We were denied extra sanitary pads or a toilet break.”</p>
+<p>Despite such ordeals, prisoners have often been determined to appear strong in courtrooms.</p>
+<p>“We smile [in court] because we see our parents,” she said. “We know that if we cry or despair, this will destroy them.”</p>
+<p>Lina expected to be released in 2011 when a prisoner exchange deal was clinched between <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hamas">Hamas</a> and Israel. Yet the Israeli authorities refused to free her.</p>
+<p>“I was thrilled for the women who were released, especially since many of them were facing life sentences,” she said. “But it is extremely frustrating when you get your hopes up and build high expectations of release only for them to be crushed.”</p>
+<h2>“Abandoned and stigmatized”</h2>
+<p>In 2014, Lina’s 48-year-old sister Wasila was hospitalized, having been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The Israeli authorities prevented Lina from visiting her sister in hospital.</p>
+<p>When Wasila died, Lina was refused permission to attend the funeral.</p>
+<p>Lina could not have coped with Israel&#8217;s cruelty had it not been for how fellow prisoners rallied around her.</p>
+<p>Finally outside of prison, Lina is planning to become a professional chef. She wants to start a family and “give birth to quadruplets,” she said.</p>
+<p>Her main concern, however, remains the plight of Palestinian women still in jail.</p>
+<p>“We live in a patriarchal society and while many women prisoners are celebrated immediately after release, they are quickly abandoned and even stigmatized precisely for being in jail,” she said.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/palestinian-authority">Palestinian Authority</a>, she added, has an obligation to continuously honor the sacrifices of female prisoners &#8211; “not just on the first day of their release.”</p>
+<p>Lina has vowed to ensure that her friends in prison &#8211; whom she refers to as sisters and daughters &#8211; must never be forgotten.</p>
+<p>“Release from prison comes with a great responsibility,” she said, “to be the voice of those still languishing behind bars.”</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">Chine Nouvelle</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>This is the tragic story of Darwish Qandil, a 46-year old friend of my father. I recount it in Darwish’s words:</p>
+<p>My siblings and I lived in a three-story house in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/khan-younis">Khan Younis</a>. We stayed in it despite the bombing and explosions we heard around us from the actions of the Israeli military. There were 28 people in the house, including five women, 18 children and five men.</p>
+<p>Around 9 am on 5 December 2023, we were surrounded by a barrage of gunfire, so we ran to the basement. We realized that Israeli soldiers had stormed the house when we heard voices speaking in Hebrew and gunshots in the upper apartments.</p>
+<p>The soldiers continued firing for 15 minutes. As the gunfire inside the house intensified and the sound of explosions surrounded us, the women started screaming and the children crying. The Israeli occupation forces realized people were in the basement due to the sounds, so they descended and started firing in the basement.</p>
+<p>My eldest brother began shouting loudly in English: “We have children and women.”</p>
+<p>One of the soldiers responded in English: “How many of you are there?”</p>
+<p>At that moment, a soldier who spoke Arabic ordered us to come out with our hands raised, with women and children exiting first. The women and children were placed in a room on the ground floor.</p>
+<h2>Interrogation</h2>
+<p>My four brothers and I were put under the staircase. Our hands were tied in front of us with plastic cuffs, and our eyes were blindfolded with cloth. There were at least 20 soldiers. They put me in the basement bathroom, bound and blindfolded, and sat me on a bathroom stool.</p>
+<p>When the soldiers took me into the bathroom, they slapped me in the face and told me to shut up. They removed my shirt, leaving me in my pants.</p>
+<p>A soldier started interrogating me about personal information and work. He used a laptop and asked me where rockets were launched from and the locations of tunnels. The interrogation lasted more than an hour.</p>
+<p>Afterward, Israeli soldiers took me to my apartment on the first floor, removed the blindfold and began breaking and destroying the furniture in my children&#8217;s rooms and shooting at the TV screen, betting on who could hit it. I saw my brother bleeding from his face and hands from the Israeli soldiers’ assault.</p>
+<p>A soldier asked where my ID and phone were, and I said with the officer downstairs. At that moment, I heard women and children screaming.</p>
+<p>They took me from the first floor to the ground floor, where I saw my 15-year-old daughter. I asked why she was screaming, and she said they had taken most of our phones, gold, a laptop and money. The soldier pulled her inside and told her to be silent. They took me to the basement bathroom, where I stayed for about three hours, hearing my siblings’ screams as they were beaten by Israeli soldiers.</p>
+<p>At around 6 pm, they took three of my brothers and me outside the house. Through the blindfold, I saw that the surrounding land had been bulldozed and was unrecognizable. The officer informed me that we would be arrested. They loaded us into an armored vehicle, which drove for about an hour to a military site.</p>
+<h2>Repeated abuse</h2>
+<p>There, a man in an Israeli military uniform who spoke fluent Arabic introduced himself, saying we were in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/kerem-shalom">Kerem Shalom</a>. He removed my pants, leaving me in my boxers, and whispered in my ear, “I will make sure you never forget my name.” He tightened the plastic cuffs on my wrists until they bled and began kicking and punching me, slapping my face, cursing and using obscene language.</p>
+<p>Feeling intense pain and needing to urinate, I asked the soldier for permission to use the bathroom, but he refused and told me to urinate on myself, which I did. When he saw this, the soldier urinated on me. He continued beating me severely throughout the night until dawn with his feet and slaps. It was the worst and most difficult night of my life.</p>
+<p>The next morning, the Israeli soldiers transported us by bus with other detainees to another military site. I spent 23 days in detention, undergoing seven rounds of interrogation.</p>
+<p>I was released on the morning of 28 December 2023 and started my journey to find my family, an extremely difficult task with the Israeli army occupying Khan Younis. Friends informed me that their last contact with them had been two weeks earlier, after which communication was lost entirely, and no one knew anything about them.</p>
+<p>I searched and asked about them for more than a month until I learned that the house we all lived in was bombed, and they were martyred.</p>
+<p>Finally, on the morning of 8 April, after the Israeli army withdrew from Khan Younis, I could at last go to the house. It was a pile of rubble from the bombing by Israeli aircraft.</p>
+<p>When I tried to enter the basement, I couldn&#8217;t bear the smell of blood and the sight of my decomposed dead relatives. I called civil defense, but they didn&#8217;t come due to a lack of equipment and the presence of a lot of martyrs in the streets.</p>
+<h2>Recovering the martyrs</h2>
+<p>On the morning of 9 April, we began recovering the martyrs. We were searching with simple tools such as a hammer. On the first day, we recovered the decomposed bodies of five martyrs, who were identified by their clothes.</p>
+<p>After that, the search and recovery of the remaining martyrs continued for seven days, and we were able to recover 19 martyrs. The last recovered was my son, who was 4 years old. Due to the extent of decomposition, only his bones and clothes remained, and we buried him in the grave of one of our martyrs.</p>
+<p>The remains of all the martyrs (a total of 24, including five women and 17 children, nine of them girls) were about 80 percent decomposed and could only be identified by their clothes.</p>
+<p>Can you imagine being in the embrace of your family one day and in the hands of your enemy the next, enduring constant torture without knowing when it will end?</p>
+<p>Wondering:</p>
+<p>Will I live?</p>
+<p>Will I see my family again?</p>
+<p>What happened to them?</p>
+<p>Here in Gaza, you live amid loss, pain and suffering.</p>
+<p>You hold your family close every night, hoping it won&#8217;t be the last time.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Finding clean air in Gaza has become nearly impossible.</p>
+<p>Parents are worried that toxic substances emitted by Israel&#8217;s weapons are causing an increase in respiratory complaints among children.</p>
+<p>Alaa is a mother, who was recently awoken in the middle of the night by her daughter Hala, 8.</p>
+<p>Hala had a fever and was having trouble breathing.</p>
+<p>She was brought to northern Gaza&#8217;s Kamal Adwan hospital, which is <a href="https://rahmaww.org/2024/01/20/kamal-adwan-medical-complex-continues-its-work/">operating</a> at a reduced capacity after being <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/12/1144887">attacked</a> by Israeli forces during December. Its staff confirmed that Hala&#8217;s lungs had been damaged.</p>
+<p>Initially, Hala was prescribed antibiotics and an inhaler.</p>
+<p>A few days later, her condition worsened and she was transferred to the hospital&#8217;s intensive care unit. Attempts to save her by providing oxygen were not successful.</p>
+<p>Tragically, Hala died.</p>
+<p>Alaa, Hala&#8217;s mother, blames Israel for her daughter&#8217;s death. After being displaced during the earlier stages of Israel&#8217;s genocidal war, their family has lived with Alaa&#8217;s parents in Jabaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza.</p>
+<p>Fifteen people have shared a confined space.</p>
+<p>“Israel deliberately killed my child,” said Alaa. “Israel forced us to breathe toxic air.”</p>
+<p>“The environment is poisoned,” she added.”The smell from the gunpowder and white phosphorus is suffocating.”</p>
+<h2>Oxygen runs out</h2>
+<p>As well as the pollution caused by Israel&#8217;s weapons, the air in Gaza has been fouled by the widespread <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/gaza-cant-breathe/43141">burning</a> of wood and other material.</p>
+<p>With electricity and fuel scarce, people have had no choice than to light fires so that they can have a little warmth and cook the small amount of food still available.</p>
+<p>Rabah Shehada, now aged 69, was diagnosed with asthma when he was a child.</p>
+<p>His health has deteriorated over the past few months.</p>
+<p>He has coughed up blood and experienced rapid heartbeat and abdominal pain, as well as being short of breath. The symptoms become acute each time he is near a fire.</p>
+<p>After being examined by a doctor working in a school now serving as a clinic for displaced people, he was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).</p>
+<p>His small stock of oxygen tubes and inhalers will soon run out. And the constant power outages mean that he struggles to charge the medical devices that he needs.</p>
+<p>“I am often woken up by his severe coughing,” said Siham, Rabah&#8217;s wife. “I fear that I am going to lose him one of these days.”</p>
+<p>A woman called Shurouq recently gave birth to a girl at al-Helal al-Emirati hospital in Rafah, Gaza&#8217;s southernmost city.</p>
+<p>The baby &#8211; named Samar &#8211; had a dangerously high temperature when she was just one week old.</p>
+<p>“I rushed to my neighbor carrying Samar in my arms,” Shurouq said. “I begged him [the neighbor] to take us to hospital in his taxi.”</p>
+<p>Samar lost consciousness on the way to the hospital. She has been receiving oxygen treatment since then.</p>
+<p>She has a lung infection and her life is at serious risk.</p>
+<p>Shurouq believes that her daughter&#8217;s health condition is the result of being exposed to polluted air during pregnancy.</p>
+<p>After being uprooted from her home, she lived in a tent to the west of Khan Younis city. Much waste was dumped in the surrounding area, particularly after an official landfill was destroyed.</p>
+<p>“I was always breathing air contaminated with harmful substances when the waste was being burned,” Shurouq said. “The sky was full of gray smoke all day.”</p>

But its is “a vessel that embodies hope that the Palestinians of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza">Gaza Strip</a> can soon live in peace without the threat of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-siege">Israeli blockade</a>.”</p>
+<p>An initiative by Palestinians in Gaza and international solidarity activists, Gaza’s Ark entails “purchasing a run-down boat from a local fishing family,” said Michael Coleman, a member of Free Gaza Australia and the steering committee for Gaza’s Ark.</p>
+<p>“The refurbishing will be done by Palestinians in the port of Gaza, and the sailing will be with a mixed crew of Palestinians and internationals,” said <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/david-heap">David Heap</a>, spokesman for Gaza’s Ark in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/canada">Canada</a> and Europe. The sailing date has not been announced yet.</p>
+<p>Pointing to a weathered fishing trawler with a “for sale” sign painted on it, Mahfouz Kabariti, president of Gaza’s Fishing and Marine Sports Association, referred to the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/poverty">poverty</a> of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-fishing-industry">Gaza&#8217;s fishermen</a>.</p>
+<p>“Why sell?” he asked. “Because of years of poor incomes from Israeli restrictions on sea, many fishermen have debts they cannot pay off. Fishermen were optimistic when the Israelis re-extended the fishing limit six miles. We hoped that maybe it would be extended to 12 miles.”</p>
+<h2>International support</h2>
+<p>The Ark initiative includes exporting a token amount of goods from Palestinian artisans, an act which Coleman admitted was “symbolic” but necessary. Exports will include date goods, embroidery and crafts from the Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children and other associations in Gaza.</p>
+<p>The steering committee for Gaza’s Ark comprises mainly well-respected Palestinian scholars, doctors and rights activists from Gaza. International supporters include <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/archbishop-desmond-tutu">Archbishop Desmond Tutu</a>, various UK and Canadian former and current members of parliament, and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hedy-epstein">Hedy Epstein</a> and Suzanne Weiss, both Holocaust survivors.</p>
+<p>Since 2008 solidarity boats have sailed, or attempted to sail, to the Gaza Strip in efforts to challenge the Israeli-led siege on Gaza and bring awareness over it. The Free Gaza boats of 2008-2009 were followed by the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-freedom-flotilla">Freedom Flotilla</a> of 2010, and various attempts afterwards to bring an end to the naval blockade of Gaza.</p>
+<p>The Freedom Flotilla is most known for the Israeli naval commandos’ execution of nine and the injury of more than 50 of the flotilla activists on board the Turkish ship, the <em><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/mavi-marmara">Mavi Marmara</a></em> while it was in international waters. The rest of the more than 600 persons on the flotilla boats were taken to Israel and deported home.</p>
+<h2>“Evolution”</h2>
+<p>“It was a completely illegal act, Israel had no right to board the ship,” said Coleman. “That has been the theme of how they stopped Freedom Flotilla II, the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/freedom-waves">Freedom Waves</a> initiative and the <em><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/estelle">Estelle</a></em> which sailed at the end of 2012,” he said. “Israel has a long history of targeting peaceful, non-violent direct action with violence and sabotage.</p>
+<p>“Gaza’s Ark is the evolution of the flotilla movement. We’ve moved away from sailing into Gaza with aid. We now focus on sailing trade out, because it’s quite clear that if the Palestinians were able to trade, their dependence on aid would be diminished quite significantly.”</p>
+<p>The <a href="http://www.gazaark.org">Gaza&#8217;s Ark</a> website emphasizes the need for trade, its slogan is “trade, not aid.”</p>
+<p>Aid, the website notes, “does not address the root cause of why the Palestinians of Gaza are in need: the Israeli blockade. We believe that aid provides a ‘cover’ for the actions of the Israeli government against the people of Gaza, alleviating the consciences of international powers while leaving the blockade in place.”</p>
+<p>The Gaza’s Ark initiative aims to “challenge the blockade of Gaza from the inside out. By purchasing Palestinian exports from Gaza, buyers around the world can bring critically-needed public attention to the blockade while supporting Palestinian businesses in Gaza,” reads the Ark&#8217;s website.</p>
+<p>The siege on Gaza, which was enforced by the Israeli occupation authorities shortly after <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hamas">Hamas</a> was democratically elected in 2006, came into severe force in 2007 when virtually all exports were banned and imports severely limited.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/al-mezan">Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights</a> has stated that “it is common for the [Israeli] navy to open fire on fishermen, pursue them in Gazan waters, and destroy and confiscate their equipment, including their nets and boats. Such acts constitute flagrant violations of Israel’s legal obligations as an occupying power under international law, and violate the fishermen’s rights to life and work.”</p>
+<p>Gaza’s fishermen once numbered more than 10,000, but under the Israeli siege and assaults, the vast majority have given up on a trade that was passed down to them by their fathers and grandfathers.</p>
+<p>With the siege, Israel has also enforced no-go zones along the boundary separating Gaza and Israel, and in Gaza’s sea. Under the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/oslo-accords">Oslo accords</a>, Palestinians have the right to fish as far as 20 nautical miles from the coast.</p>
+<p>Since 2008, Israel has unilaterally enforced a limit of between six and three miles. Although Israeli authorities expanded this limit back to six miles following the cessation of Israel’s November 2012 attacks on Gaza, in March 2013 Israel again unilaterally declared Palestinians can go no further than three miles (“<a href="http://www.gisha.org/item.asp?lang_id=en&amp;p_id=1891">Gisha to defense minister: refrain from engaging in collective punishment</a>,” Gisha, 24 March 2013).</p>
+<p>Fishermen and human rights groups report that the Israeli navy shoots on, harasses and abducts Palestinian fishermen even within three miles, as close at times as less than a mile from Gaza’s coast. The Israeli navy has killed and injured numerous fishermen while shooting at their boats.</p>

Even a small parcel with simple, seemingly trivial items, can provide a lifeline for some of us.</p>
+<p>On 1 October, my family received such a package, containing a pair of girls’ shoes. The shoes didn’t fit anyone in our family, so I decided to go to al-Sahaba Market near al-Daraj neighborhood to try to sell them and buy something useful instead.</p>
+<p>But no one bought them.</p>
+<p>On my way home, I came across a vendor selling mattresses. My family needed one. The vendor, noticing the shoe bag in my hand, asked where I had bought the shoes. He was looking for a pair for his daughter.</p>
+<p>I told him that I hadn’t bought them, but received them as aid, and that they didn’t fit anyone in my family.</p>
+<p>“You want to buy a mattress, right?” he asked. I replied “Yes.”</p>
+<p>“I’ll give you the mattress in exchange for the shoes you have,” he said to my surprise.</p>
+<p>I told him I’d give him the shoes because I didn’t need them and he could benefit more from them, but that I also wanted to pay for the mattress since he had been working since morning and sat all day to earn his livelihood.</p>
+<p>He initially refused my offer, but I insisted. Eventually he thanked me happily and said, “God sent you to me for He knows what burdens and sorrows His servant bears.”</p>
+<h2>Help and dignity</h2>
+<p>But then he grew thoughtful. “I hope my other daughters won’t be upset.”</p>
+<p>“How many daughters do you have?” I asked.</p>
+<p>“I have four daughters. These shoes are for my youngest,” he replied.</p>
+<p>His words echoed in my mind the whole way home.</p>
+<p>When I got home, I told my mother what had happened and said: “I want to help him; at least it will bring me some happiness in these difficult days.”</p>
+<p>My mother gave me some money. I decided to give it to the vendor instead of buying shoes for myself. The next day I went to the spot where he usually spread out his goods, but he wasn’t there.</p>
+<p>I would not be dissuaded. I returned the next day and found him.</p>
+<p>“I came yesterday but didn’t find you, so I came again today,” I said. “I want to give you some money so you and your daughters can go and buy shoes that fit them.”</p>
+<p>Initially the man refused, his pride preventing him from taking my money.</p>
+<p>“I was a wealthy merchant before the war, but now I have lost everything ” he said.</p>
+<p>I said we all had beautiful lives before. But I insisted that he take the money, “not because I feel sorry for you but because it makes me happy. “</p>
+<p>He thanked me. But sorrow was still evident in his voice.</p>
+<p>For me, the moment was a mixture of joy and sadness. Joy because I could help him. Sadness for the wounds inflicted on his pride and dignity.</p>
+<h2>Precarious lives</h2>
+<p>The experience reminded me of how precarious life and living conditions in Gaza are.</p>
+<p>Some live in houses, while others live in tents. Some have their families nearby, while others have lost all their relatives or cannot reach them.</p>
+<p>At the moment I started this article with – when you receive something that doesn’t fit – you find yourself in a difficult position. You are caught between your need and your desire to preserve your dignity. It’s not just about selling shoes that don’t fit or trading one thing for another; it’s about dignity in struggling against poverty and need.</p>
+<p>I never imagined we’d be this helpless – and this is what hurts me most.</p>
+<p>Our lives in Gaza are a daily struggle that cannot be reduced to just suffering or a need for aid.</p>
+<p>We dream of a day when we can live in peace, free from want and oppression, with the dignity that befits our humanity, without this need for food and shelter serving as constant reminders of the helplessness imposed on us.</p>
+<p>Our dignity is not a luxury; it is an inherent right, a right we believe we will reclaim one day, no matter how long it takes.</p>
+<p>We do not seek sympathy. We seek our right to live with dignity.</p>

+<p>A year into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, she and her family were trapped in their home in the al-Shaboura area of Rafah refugee camp, however, which was besieged by the Israeli military.</p>
+<p>“It was just before midnight when I started feeling labor pains,” Fadwa told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
+<p>Communications were haphazard, however. Her husband, Yusuf, 34, tried to call an ambulance, but he couldn’t get through to anyone.</p>
+<p>Braving the streets was also risky.</p>
+<p>“The occupation forces were targeting anyone or any vehicle moving inside the camp,” Fadwa said.</p>
+<p>She and her family – Yusuf and three children – had no choice but to stay in their home, unable to reach the hospital due to heavy bombardment in the area and the close proximity of Israeli tanks.</p>
+<p>So they called on a local traditional midwife, Aysha, to help with a birth that would eventually go deep into the early morning hours.</p>
+<p>The use of traditional methods of childbirth has become increasingly common in Gaza where, as far back as April, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) <a href="https://www.rescue.org/uk/press-release/pregnant-women-and-mothers-gaza-are-fighting-keep-themselves-and-their-babies-alive">reported</a> that most of the 183 women who on average give birth daily in Gaza lack access to trained midwives, doctors or healthcare facilities as a result of Israel’s genocidal violence.</p>
+<p>Hunger is also a critical issue, with 155,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women at “high risk” of malnutrition.</p>
+<p>Anxiety and malnutrition are critical risk factors for pregnant women in Gaza,</p>
+<p>Nestor Owomuhangi, the United Nations Population Fund’s representative for Palestine, <a href="https://www.unfpa.org/news/women-girls-see-health-access-deteriorate-hostilities-intensify-displacements-across-gaza">said</a> In October, with thousands of pregnant women on “the verge of famine” and “in famine-like conditions.”</p>
+<h2>The traditional way</h2>
+<p>Aysha lived just minutes away from the al-Hassani home and it was to her that Fadwa’s husband turned.</p>
+<p>She came with nothing. She had already asked Yusuf to provide “a pair of scissors, a clothes peg, some salt, and a piece of cloth,” Fadwa said.</p>
+<p>Once baby Hamza started coming, Aysha got a firm grip of his head and pulled him “forcefully,” in Fadwa’s telling, from the womb. She used the scissors to cut the umbilical cord, salt on the resulting wound, the clothes peg to close the newborn’s navel and wrapped Hamza in the cloth.</p>
+<p>She asked Fadwa to keep changing the salt on Hamza’s belly button in order for the cut to heal cleanly. These methods worked and Hamza was fine.</p>
+<p>But, by four days later, Fadwa’s womb and pelvic area were badly infected.</p>
+<p>“I felt intense heat in my body. My husband called the ambulance again, but they said our area was dangerous and difficult to access.”</p>
+<p>Instead they advised Yusuf to bring Fadwa on foot by heading west, where an ambulance would wait. It was about a kilometer away, and Fadwa was in great pain, but they made it.</p>
+<p>The ambulance took them to the Emirati Red Crescent hospital where she wound up spending three weeks due to an infection that had caused postpartum fever.</p>
+<h2>Risks</h2>
+<p>The turn to traditional methods of childbirth is hardly surprising in a place where hospitals – or  what hospitals are still able to function – are running at <a href="https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/portals/_pcbs/PressRelease/Press_En_WorldHealthDay2024E.pdf">three times</a> capacity. But it carries risks, especially under the circumstances.</p>
+<p>With Israel having cut running water to Gaza, the lack of access to clean water is one of the greatest causes of infections and complications, said Dr. Ahmed al-Banna, a specialist in obstetrics, gynecology and infertility, formerly with al-Shifa Hospital.</p>
+<p>“Many have had to give birth at home or in shelters, in the absence of proper hygiene, which exposes the mother and baby to dangers such as severe bleeding, infections and viral and bacterial diseases,” Dr al-Banna told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
+<p>The use of the traditional midwife’s rudimentary tools also marks a “regression in providing safe medical services,” he said.</p>
+<p>Hadeel Qadeh, 23, from <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/khuzaa">Khuzaa</a>, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, went into premature labor in July, after a period of intense bombings and an Israeli ground incursion in her area.</p>
+<p>She was only in her seventh month but, located more than five kilometers away from the nearest operational hospital, she had, she said, “no choice but to give birth at home.”</p>
+<p>She turned to an elderly relative who had worked as a traditional midwife 40 years ago.</p>
+<p>“She asked my husband to heat water in a container, and bring a knife and a clothes peg, so they could be sterilized with hot water before use.”</p>
+<p>It was Hadeel’s first baby. It “wasn’t easy,” she said, and fear “I would lose my life or my baby due to this dangerous birth” haunted her. But baby Hiba was ultimately delivered healthily.</p>
+<h2>Complications</h2>
+<p>Nafisa Awad has no hesitation in conceding that the old methods can be more dangerous and of little use in cases of complicated deliveries or when there is need of caesarean sections.</p>
+<p>A traditional midwife for 40 years, Awad, 71, has, she said, delivered “more than 500” babies in southern Gaza – she is from Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis.</p>
+<p>“During traditional births, the midwife uses available tools, the most important of which is scissors to cut the umbilical cord, and to make incisions.”</p>
+<p>But even the traditional method is now being undermined by Israel’s genocide. It’s hard to sterilize absent clean water. It is hard to avoid infections without soap, a <a href="https://healthcluster.who.int/newsroom/news/item/16-09-2024-urgent-action-needed-a-call-to-provide-critical-hygiene-supplies-to-gaza-s-vulnerable">scarce resource</a> in Gaza. And there is not enough water to have pregnant women sit in warm baths to speed delivery.</p>
+<p>Cinnamon and dates, both elements of the traditional method, are also all but impossible to get hold of.</p>
+<p>In northern Gaza, midwives have been more active than in the south, especially since the Israeli military reinvaded and imposed a full curfew in the area at the beginning of October.</p>
+<p>Nafouz Obeid, 43, had to give birth at home in Tal al-Zaatar on 17 October.</p>
+<p>“I couldn’t go to the hospital because of the ground invasion in northern Gaza, and the heavy bombing,” Nafouz told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
+<p>She turned to a traditional midwife who last practiced nearly 30 years ago, and who used a multipurpose pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord. With no electricity, moreover, baby Mustafa was born in the light of a cellphone.</p>
+<p>Despite the circumstances, both Mustafa and Nafouz came through without complications. Now, however, life under genocide has really taken hold.</p>
+<p>“What my child, my family, and I need now is food,” Nafouz told The Electronic Intifada in an internet call. “A mother needs to eat properly in order to breastfeed, and there is no baby formula.”</p>

Many Palestinians have faced multiple displacements since their families’ first exile from their homeland.</p><small class="credit">
+<span class="field field-publisher">UN Photo</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Muhammad is a second generation Palestinian refugee with a very tragic story of displacement and alienation.</p>
+<p>He was born and grew up in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/iraq">Iraq</a> to a displaced Palestinian family from the village of Aqir in historic Palestine.</p>
+<p>On 4 May 1948, Aqir was invaded by a Zionist militia that killed and kidnapped residents and destroyed homes. The majority of the villagers fled and the remainder were expelled a few weeks later.</p>
+<p>By December, desperate to halt the return of the expelled Palestinians, the nascent Israeli army had already settled newly arrived Jews into the villagers’ homes, as the historian <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/benny-morris">Benny Morris</a> documented in his book <em>The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited</em>.</p>
+<p>Today, Aqir is known by Israelis as Kiryat Ekron.</p>
+<p>Listening to Muhammad, who asked that his full identity not be revealed for safety reasons, brought the words of the Palestinian novelist <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/magic-realism-footnotes-novelist-nasrallah-creates-genre-his-own/11537">Ibrahim Nasrallah</a> to my mind: “We should have had bigger hearts to contain all this tragedy.”</p>
+<p>The story of Palestine starting from 1948 until now is contained in Muhammad&#8217;s story.</p>
+<h2>“Dying in the desert”</h2>
+<p>After the United States led the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Muhammad moved to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jordan">Jordan</a>. There, he got stuck in the desert for four months at <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/palestinian-refugees-iraq/6801">al-Rweished refugee camp on the Iraqi-Jordanian border</a>.</p>
+<p>This slim man, apparently in his forties, lost his eldest son who suffered from leukemia while in the refugee camp. Muhammad eventually managed to get into Jordan since he is married to a Palestinian-Jordanian.</p>
+<p>“The story created a great fuss in the media and media outlets started talking about a kid of a Jordanian dying in the desert,” the man recalled.</p>
+<p>Under Jordanian law, the non-Jordanian male spouses of Jordanian women do not acquire citizenship and the residency rights that come with it, however, Palestinians in the camp married to Jordanians were given a royal exception and allowed into the country, while other Palestinians were left stranded in the desert for four years.</p>
+Most of the refugees were eventually <a href="http://www.irinnews.org/report/74828/jordan-more-palestinian-refugees-scheduled-to-leave-for-brazil-on-18-october">exiled to Brazil</a>.
+The situation in Jordan was not good and Muhammad had to struggle to find a job to feed his family. Going back to Iraq was his only option &#8212; yet it was not a good one.
+<p>Sectarian infighting in the wake of the US-led invasion made it impossible for him to work and live in Iraq. In 2006 Muhammad and his family moved to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/syria">Syria</a>.</p>
+<p>Yet <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/syria-rebels-and-regime-share-blame-yarmouk-catastrophe">the Syrian crisis that began in March 2011</a> displaced his family once again.</p>
+<p>In November 2013, as Muhammad was looking for food, he was stopped at a checkpoint and apprehended by the Syrian army.</p>
+<h2>Tortured in prison</h2>
+<p>Muhammad was tortured for forty days and he lost 30 kilograms (65 pounds) of his bodyweight.</p>
+<p>When I met him in, Muhammad described this critical period in prison. He spoke of great misery and extremely cramped conditions: “We would squeeze ourselves to give more space to injured inmates.”</p>
+<p>After forty days, Muhammad was given two options: to be sent to an Iraqi prison, since he was born there, or to be deported to any country that would accept him.</p>
+<p>His wife had to sell her gold to purchase a plane ticket in addition to paying some bribes to security officers. <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/egypt">Egypt</a> refused to allow him into <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza">Gaza</a> because he does not hold a Palestinian ID number (such numbers are issued by Israel, via the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/palestinian-authority">Palestinian Authority</a>), although he holds a Palestinian passport issued by the PA.</p>
+<h2>A call from Gaza</h2>
+<p>Hisham, a Palestinian student in Kuala Lumpur received a call from his Gaza family telling him about a Palestinian travelling from Syria whose mother happened to be living next to the student&#8217;s family&#8217;s house in Gaza, who was expected to arrive in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/malaysia">Malaysia</a> the next day.</p>
+<p>Hisham rushed to the airport the next day with a banner on which he wrote Muhammad&#8217;s full name. As they waited at the arrival hall, a man waved to them. It was Muhammad.</p>
+<p>He stayed with a group of Palestinians and it is in Malaysia that I met him. Once Muhammad settled in, he called his family in Syria, Palestine and Iraq. Then he started making calls to embassies all over the world to give him a visa. None offered him one.</p>
+<p>He overstayed in Malaysia and had to pay a heavy fine. He was denied entry into Malaysia for two years and given one week to leave the country. Meanwhile, his brothers in Iraq managed to get him a visitor&#8217;s permit.</p>
+<h2>Bitterness</h2>
+<p>Muhammad spoke of the situation of Palestinians with bitterness: “When the crisis began in Syria, Palestinians paid dearly. Part of the Syrian people accused us of supporting the Syrian regime, and another group accused us of treason and betraying the regime.”</p>
+<p>With help, Muhammad booked his flight to Iraq and arrived there in February.</p>
+<p>Thinking of his family in Syria, his future, his options, his displacement and his destiny as a Palestinian, Muhammad understands it all.</p>
+<p>His dad was kicked out of his original village in Palestine by Zionist gangs and he was born in exile.</p>
+<p>He knows about the reality of displacement, the guilt of being Palestinian, his son dying in the desert, his family stranded in Syria, torture in a Syrian prison. He knows about passports, a lost homeland.</p>
+<p>He knows about what it is like to have nowhere on earth to go.</p>
+<p>Meanwhile, his family will remain separated, with him and his brothers in Iraq, his kids and wife in Syria and his mum and heart in Palestine.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher"><span class="caps">APA</span> images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>In Gaza, where winter grips everything with its harsh hands, cold is more than just a sensation. Battling it is the foundation of the daily struggle for survival. The cold nights, which confine us to fragile tents and homes that no longer serve as shelters, leave us with only one choice: to face them with what we have or what we can&nbsp;create.</p>
+<p>I remember the day in early December when an aid convoy arrived carrying new blankets. Everyone was grateful for what seemed like a small&nbsp;lifeline.</p>
+<p>The aid eases the burden and cruelty of the Israeli blockade and the subsequent scarcity of resources, but it never entirely fills the gap between our needs and the resources&nbsp;available.</p>
+<p>Yet the blankets that we received were coarse to the touch, heavy on our bodies and caused persistent itching for the 35 or so children in the&nbsp;camp.</p>
+<p>Using them as covers felt more like trying to ward off the cold with medicine that might make you sick. While some left the blankets unused, my grandmother saw an opportunity, as she does with just about&nbsp;everything.</p>
+<p>My grandmother began transforming the blankets into something we never expected: winter tops and trousers. She would sit near our small tent, warming herself in the sun, and do her&nbsp;work.</p>
+<p>Using a needle and thread instead of a sewing machine, she reshaped the blankets, lining some with pieces of old summer clothes. Every piece of clothing she produced seemed like a story sewn with love and&nbsp;patience.</p>
+<h2>Word gets&nbsp;out</h2>
+<p>As the days passed, other women at the al-Azza camp near Khan Younis noticed my grandmother at work. Some brought her garments that seemed beyond repair – remnants of clothing that had been shredded by shrapnel. But my grandmother transformed and incorporated those pieces into tops and trousers that gave the children the wearable warmth they so desperately&nbsp;needed.</p>
+<p>The cold spared no one and children suffered the most. Hence, my grandmother didn’t see those pieces of fabric as useless remnants but as raw material to craft new&nbsp;life.</p>
+<p>What amazed me the most was her attention to detail. The blankets were incredibly coarse, but my grandmother wouldn’t allow that roughness to harm the children’s skin. She carefully sought out soft scraps of fabric, including worn-out T-shirts, and used them as inner&nbsp;linings.</p>
+<p>“I won’t let this fabric hurt them,” she’d say as she finished stitching another&nbsp;piece.</p>
+<p>But her creativity didn’t stop&nbsp;there.</p>
+<h2>A special&nbsp;connection</h2>
+<p>My grandmother wanted to add her own unique stamp to each piece of clothing she created. She embroidered the children’s initials onto the tops and trousers using colorful threads, making each item feel like a personalized&nbsp;gift.</p>
+<p>For the children, those letters meant more than just a stitched name; they were a sign that someone cared enough to make them feel special. Wearing them felt like owning more than just a piece of&nbsp;cloth.</p>
+<p>Seeing the children running and playing between the tents dressed in those colorful clothes embroidered with their initials brought me a simple kind of joy. My grandmother and the women around her turned what could have been a source of frustration into a beacon of&nbsp;hope.</p>
+<p>My grandmother wasn’t just making clothes; she was teaching us that life is not only about what is given to us but also about what we create with our own&nbsp;hands.</p>
+<p>In Gaza, we don’t have much, but we have enough to create something out of nothing.  Perhaps we can’t change the cold, but we can certainly warm our hearts and those of the people around&nbsp;us.</p>

where winter grips everything with its harsh hands, cold is more than just a sensation. Battling it is the foundation of the daily struggle for survival. The cold nights, which confine us to fragile tents and homes that no longer serve as shelters, leave us with only one choice: to face them with what we have or what we can&nbsp;create.</p>\n\n<p>I remember the day in early December when an aid convoy arrived carrying new blankets. Everyone was grateful for what seemed like a small&nbsp;lifeline.</p>\n\n<p>The aid eases the burden and cruelty of the Israeli blockade and the subsequent scarcity of resources, but it never entirely fills the gap between our needs and the resources&nbsp;available.</p>\n\n<p>Yet the blankets that we received were coarse to the touch, heavy on our bodies and caused persistent itching for the 35 or so children in the&nbsp;camp.</p>\n\n<p>Using them as covers felt more like trying to ward off the cold with medicine that might make you sick. While some left the blankets unused, my grandmother saw an opportunity, as she does with just about&nbsp;everything.</p>\n\n<p>My grandmother began transforming the blankets into something we never expected: winter tops and trousers. She would sit near our small tent, warming herself in the sun, and do her&nbsp;work.</p>\n\n<p>Using a needle and thread instead of a sewing machine, she reshaped the blankets, lining some with pieces of old summer clothes. Every piece of clothing she produced seemed like a story sewn with love and&nbsp;patience.</p>\n\n<h2>Word gets&nbsp;out</h2>\n\n<p>As the days passed, other women at the al-Azza camp near Khan Younis noticed my grandmother at work. Some brought her garments that seemed beyond repair – remnants of clothing that had been shredded by shrapnel. But my grandmother transformed and incorporated those pieces into tops and trousers that gave the children the wearable warmth they so desperately&nbsp;needed.</p>\n\n<p>The cold spared no one and children suffered the most. Hence, my grandmother didn’t see those pieces of fabric as useless remnants but as raw material to craft new&nbsp;life.</p>\n\n<p>What amazed me the most was her attention to detail. The blankets were incredibly coarse, but my grandmother wouldn’t allow that roughness to harm the children’s skin. She carefully sought out soft scraps of fabric, including worn-out T-shirts, and used them as inner&nbsp;linings.</p>\n\n<p>“I won’t let this fabric hurt them,” she’d say as she finished stitching another&nbsp;piece.</p>\n\n<p>But her creativity didn’t stop&nbsp;there.</p>\n\n<h2>A special&nbsp;connection</h2>\n\n<p>My grandmother wanted to add her own unique stamp to each piece of clothing she created. She embroidered the children’s initials onto the tops and trousers using colorful threads, making each item feel like a personalized&nbsp;gift.</p>\n\n<p>For the children, those letters meant more than just a stitched name; they were a sign that someone cared enough to make them feel special. Wearing them felt like owning more than just a piece of&nbsp;cloth.</p>\n\n<p>Seeing the children running and playing between the tents dressed in those colorful clothes embroidered with their initials brought me a simple kind of joy. My grandmother and the women around her turned what could have been a source of frustration into a beacon of&nbsp;hope.</p>\n\n<p>My grandmother wasn’t just making clothes; she was teaching us that life is not only about what is given to us but also about what we create with our own&nbsp;hands.</p>\n\n<p>In Gaza, we don’t have much, but we have enough to create something out of nothing.  Perhaps we can’t change the cold, but we can certainly warm our hearts and those of the people around&nbsp;us.</p>\n\n<p><em>Lina Hamdona is a writer and pharmacy student from&nbsp;Gaza.</em></p>\n

+In Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, a woman turns blankets into winter clothes, 30 October 2024.
+APA imagesIn Gaza, where winter grips everything with its harsh hands, cold is more than just a sensation. Battling it is the foundation of the daily struggle for survival. The cold nights, which confine us to fragile tents and homes that no longer serve as shelters, leave us with only one choice: to face them with what we have or what we can create.
+I remember the day in early December when an aid convoy arrived carrying new blankets. Everyone was grateful for what seemed like a small lifeline.
+The aid eases the burden and cruelty of the Israeli blockade and the subsequent scarcity of resources, but it never entirely fills the gap between our needs and the resources available.
+Yet the blankets that we received were coarse to the touch, heavy on our bodies and caused persistent itching for the 35 or so children in the camp.
+Using them as covers felt more like trying to ward off the cold with medicine that might make you sick. While some left the blankets unused, my grandmother saw an opportunity, as she does with just about everything.
+My grandmother began transforming the blankets into something we never expected: winter tops and trousers. She would sit near our small tent, warming herself in the sun, and do her work.
+Using a needle and thread instead of a sewing machine, she reshaped the blankets, lining some with pieces of old summer clothes. Every piece of clothing she produced seemed like a story sewn with love and patience.
+Word gets out
+As the days passed, other women at the al-Azza camp near Khan Younis noticed my grandmother at work. Some brought her garments that seemed beyond repair – remnants of clothing that had been shredded by shrapnel. But my grandmother transformed and incorporated those pieces into tops and trousers that gave the children the wearable warmth they so desperately needed.
+The cold spared no one and children suffered the most. Hence, my grandmother didn’t see those pieces of fabric as useless remnants but as raw material to craft new life.
+What amazed me the most was her attention to detail. The blankets were incredibly coarse, but my grandmother wouldn’t allow that roughness to harm the children’s skin. She carefully sought out soft scraps of fabric, including worn-out T-shirts, and used them as inner linings.
+“I won’t let this fabric hurt them,” she’d say as she finished stitching another piece.
+But her creativity didn’t stop there.
+A special connection
+My grandmother wanted to add her own unique stamp to each piece of clothing she created. She embroidered the children’s initials onto the tops and trousers using colorful threads, making each item feel like a personalized gift.
+For the children, those letters meant more than just a stitched name; they were a sign that someone cared enough to make them feel special. Wearing them felt like owning more than just a piece of cloth.
+Seeing the children running and playing between the tents dressed in those colorful clothes embroidered with their initials brought me a simple kind of joy. My grandmother and the women around her turned what could have been a source of frustration into a beacon of hope.
+My grandmother wasn’t just making clothes; she was teaching us that life is not only about what is given to us but also about what we create with our own hands.
+In Gaza, we don’t have much, but we have enough to create something out of nothing.  Perhaps we can’t change the cold, but we can certainly warm our hearts and those of the people around us.
+Lina Hamdona is a writer and pharmacy student from Gaza.

+<span class="field field-author">Anne Paq</span>
+<span class="field field-publisher">ActiveStills</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Samih is demoralized.</p>
+<p>Two years ago, he graduated with an engineering degree from the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/islamic-university-gaza">Islamic University of Gaza</a>. Despite applying for many jobs, the only work he has found has been as a casual laborer. The pay has only been enough to provide him with some pocket money and let him buy cigarettes.</p>
+<p>“For a decade now, the Gaza Strip has gone from one crisis to another. Every day you wake up to hear of new crises: wage cuts, electricity cuts, problems with water, lack of medicines, closed crossings. Everything just makes us feel more and more hopeless here.”</p>
+<p>Samih has tried to leave Gaza via the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/rafah-crossing">Rafah border crossing</a>. His plan was to travel through the crossing &#8211; which separates Gaza and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/egypt">Egypt</a> &#8211; and then towards <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/turkey">Turkey</a>.</p>
+<p>But the Egyptian authorities have blocked him.</p>
+<p>With Gaza under an Israeli <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-siege">siege</a> for the past 10 years, Rafah has been the only exit to the outside world for most of Gaza’s 2 million inhabitants. Yet Egypt has compounded the siege by sealing its border.</p>
+<p>“It&#8217;s a cruel feeling to go from being young, active and full of hope to being depressed,” Samih said. “Gaza is not a good place to live. If I had a choice, I would not live here.”</p>
+<p>The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has <a href="http://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/1104">estimated</a> that more than half of all people in Gaza have experienced depression.</p>
+<h2>“Alarming”</h2>
+<p>Abd Hamid Muharib, a psychotherapist with the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-community-mental-health-programme">Gaza Community Mental Health Programme</a>, described such statistics as “highly alarming.”</p>
+<p>Since late 2008, Israel has launched three major offensives against Gaza. The attacks have been “full of catastrophes which increase the number of depressed people,” Muharib said.</p>
+<p>Problems associated with depression &#8211; including <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/gazas-red-poison/19781">addiction</a> and emotional disorders &#8211; are acute among young people.</p>
+<p>At one private mental health clinic, there were 28 patients in the waiting room. All, bar six of them, were aged in their twenties.</p>
+<p>“This society does not offer any hope to improve the lives of these young people,” said Muhammad Abu al-Sabah, a psychologist at the clinic. “Their families have seen their economic status deteriorate continuously due to the siege. There are few opportunities and this has made families feel helpless.”</p>
+<p>The hopelessness caused by the siege, he added, has been worsened by the divisions between the main Palestinian political parties.</p>
+<p>Duaa has a 24-year-old son who tried to commit suicide. He had just been turned down for a job.</p>
+<p>The ordeal has left Duaa, aged 54, traumatized. She has been sitting at home, listless. All four of her sons have university degrees. All four are unemployed.</p>
+<p>“When they were children, I thought I would be able to help them build their future,” she said. “Now it seems like I will die sitting and thinking here.”</p>
+<p>Huge numbers of young Palestinians face similar difficulties to her sons. At around 60 percent, Gaza&#8217;s youth unemployment has <a href="http://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/youth-risk-radicalization-amid-growing-insecurity-unmet">reached</a> “world-record levels,” according to United Nations data.</p>
+<h2>Unhappy birthday</h2>
+<p>Shaima was unhappy at her own party. She had just turned 28.</p>
+<p>“I don&#8217;t know exactly why I&#8217;m celebrating my birthday,” she said. “Every year I get older without achieving anything for me or my baby daughter.”</p>
+<p>An accountant, Shaima works eight hours per day for a small wage. Half of her income goes to rent. “There is no way to get ahead in this country,” she said. “I hope that I can celebrate my next birthday outside Gaza.”</p>
+<p>Firas al-Tanani is a member of the Palestinian national volleyball team. Last year, a club in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/tunisia">Tunisia</a> offered him the chance of turning professional. He had hoped to be able to send back money to his family. Al-Tanani&#8217;s father is out of work and is finding it difficult to support his children.</p>
+<p>The constant closure of Rafah prevented al-Tanani from taking up the offer. When al-Tanani realized that there was no way of leaving Gaza, he went into a depression.</p>
+<p>“Sport was always my passion,” the 22-year-old said. “But now I&#8217;ve started thinking seriously of retiring from the sports world as it doesn&#8217;t help in making a living here. Nobody cares for our talents and skills.”</p>
+<p>Sahar, a 28-year-old, called Gaza “one big maze, where nothing is clear and there never seems to be any exit.”</p>
+<p>Going to the beach is the only pleasure available to people without money. Yet with the sea heavily polluted, such trips can have unhealthy consequences.</p>
+<p>Following one recent trip to the sea, Sahar&#8217;s children fell ill with gastroenteritis. “How much more can we suffer?” Sahar asked.</p>
+<p>She acknowledged, though, that the situation could worsen.</p>
+<p>“If there is another war, we could lose everything in the blink of an eye,” she said.</p>
+<p>“I have two boys &#8211; aged 9 and 5. The first one has witnessed three wars. His brother has witnessed two. I can&#8217;t believe that my kids have had to go through that.”</p>

+<span class="field field-author">Helena Cobban</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Last December, I was invited to take part in a speaking tour in the United States about <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/gazas-class-divisions-confronted-young-writers/13159"><em>Gaza Writes Back</em></a>, a book to which I contributed.</p>
+<p>The book is an anthology of 23 short stories written by young Palestinians commemorating, in fiction, the fifth anniversary of Israel&#8217;s 2008-2009 attack on <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza">Gaza</a>, known as “<a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/operation-cast-lead">Operation Cast Lead</a>.”</p>
+<p>There was no hesitation. No second thoughts. “Yes! Of course,” I promptly wrote back to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/refaat-alareer">Refaat Alareer</a>, the book&#8217;s editor. The three-week tour started on 1 April and included cities across the US. But, sadly, I did not make it, and I was not part of the tour.</p>
+<p>There is, of course, the furious patriot inside me that wanted to tell Americans about their tax money helping Israel kill my people; there are stories that I wanted to tell about Palestine and Gaza.</p>
+<p>I wanted to raise awareness about the injustice inflicted upon the Palestinians. But there is also the sardonic Gaza citizen who simply wanted to escape all of this for a while, and who just wanted to travel and have a good time (and visit Central Perk, the coffee shop in the US TV sitcom <em>Friends</em>).</p>
+<p>I wrote down the names of the books I didn&#8217;t find in Gaza and wanted to look for in the US. My family gave me a list of things to buy from the States, and I had many American friends I knew from the Internet for years and who I was finally going to meet in person. I had big plans, and since I lived most of my life in Gaza, I was sincerely grateful to be offered such an opportunity.</p>
+<h2>Bursting with excitement</h2>
+<p>But first, I had to apply for a US visa. To my surprise, I was given a one-day Israeli permit to go to the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/us-consulate-jerusalem">United States Consulate in Jerusalem</a> for the visa interview.</p>
+<p>Visiting <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags">Jerusalem</a> was a surreal experience to which no piece of writing can do justice.</p>
+<p>Even though traveling through the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/erez-checkpoint">Erez crossing</a> from Gaza into present-day Israel was tiring and psychologically humiliating, the trip was emotional and uplifting, especially because it was my first time outside Gaza in fifteen years.</p>
+<p>Two weeks after the interview, I got my passport back with the US visa. I was one step closer to being in <em>Amriiikka</em> (that&#8217;s exactly how we say it in Arabic). I was bursting with excitement.</p>
+<p>I was quite aware what a visit like this would do for me, for my personal growth and intellectual development as a young Palestinian academic. Meeting all those people I interact with on Twitter and Facebook would affect me beyond imagination and would help me acquire more perspective on the struggle against injustice as well as the activities on American campuses.</p>
+<p>Coming face to face with Palestinians in the diaspora and meeting Palestinian solidarity activists would be invaluable experiences.</p>
+<h2>Permit denied</h2>
+<p>With my visa in hand, now all I had to do was travel. But getting out of Gaza is not easy. With the escalation of the political crisis in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/egypt">Egypt</a>, the Egyptian coup government has tightened its grip on the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/rafah-crossing">Rafah crossing</a>, which has been open for <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/egypt-humiliates-travelers-gaza/13359">just twelve days</a> this year to a tiny number of patients and students.</p>
+<p>I was not even able to register to travel through Rafah because there were hundreds still waiting on the list to travel before the Palestinian interior ministry in Gaza could accept new registrations.</p>
+<p>Rafah was hopeless. So having already got an Israeli permit to travel to occupied Jerusalem for the visa interview, I thought it would not be impossible to get another permit so I could travel through Erez to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jordan">Jordan</a> and then fly from Amman to the US.</p>
+<p>The <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/american-friends-service-committee">American Friends Service Committee</a>, the organization sponsoring the book tour, helped me apply for a permit. After almost a month waiting for a decision, I was told my application was rejected. Then there came this point in my life where, having failed to travel abroad three times in less than one year, it dawned on me that maybe traveling is something I can only dream of and plan for but never actually do.</p>
+<p>The reason the Israeli authorities gave for denying me a permit is that I did not belong to any of the categories normally allowed to travel through Erez. From what I have seen, those include patients getting treatment in Israel, merchants who import goods from Israel into Gaza, foreign journalists and individuals or delegations traveling within US consulate-sponsored programs.</p>
+<p>Other than that, the decisions as to who is allowed to travel and who is not seem to be so annoyingly random. In fact, one of the most irritating things about occupation is its randomness.</p>
+<p>One day they allow you into Israel and then the next day you are a security threat. One day the officer is in a good mood so he thinks you are a nice Palestinian but the next day you are a “<em>khamas</em>” terrorist. One day they help you go to a visa interview and the next day they stop you from actually using this visa.</p>
+<h2>“Security”</h2>
+<p>My jaw dropped at Erez crossing when I saw an Israeli officer run a very small machine over an empty pottery bowl which belonged to a Palestinian woman &#8212; “What are you checking exactly? It’s freaking empty!” I thought to myself.</p>
+<p>Israel’s “security concerns” about Gazans traveling through Erez sound like a ridiculous joke, especially when suicide bombings decreased and then stopped years ago more because of a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/apr/09/israel">change</a> in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ben-white/did-israeli-apartheid-wall-really-stop-suicide-bombings">strategy</a> by Palestinian armed groups than because of Israel’s restrictions on travel. Looking at casualty figures, no one can deny that it is overwhelmingly Palestinians who are the victims of violence whose source is Israel. Yet “security” is the constant justification.</p>
+<p>I often hear Zionists smugly say things like, “Why don’t you ask Egypt to let you travel?” as though Egypt’s shameful complicity justifies Israel’s <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-siege">siege on Gaza</a> or changes the fact it is Israel’s sole responsibility that we cannot travel directly from Gaza as Israel bombed our only airport repeatedly.</p>
+<p>There is no doubt that <em>Gaza Writes Back</em> is a pro-Palestinian book. It is a Palestinian book. Anyway, I think the facts are inherently pro-Palestinian. But there are stories in the book about Israelis as well, highlighting the fact that occupation might sometimes be just as harmful for the occupiers as it is for the occupied.</p>
+<p>There is a story about a Palestinian who, having as a child seen his brother shot right in front of him, grows up to eventually blow himself up in an Israeli park full of soldiers, one of whom is a beautiful female soldier who could have become his wife in a different world.</p>
+<p>There is a story about an Israeli soldier who is haunted by the memories of war, and another story about two <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/farmers">farmers</a>, one Palestinian and the other Israeli, on the two sides of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/israels-wall-west-bank">apartheid wall</a> in the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/west-bank">West Bank</a>.</p>
+<h2>What about dialogue?</h2>
+<p>The book itself and the speaking tour came as a peaceful and creative initiative intended to promote dialogue and mutual understanding. And though I am no supporter of the “peace talks” between the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/palestinian-authority">Palestinian Authority</a> and Israel &#8212; which have proven futile and a waste of time over and over again &#8212; I did accept the invitation and was ready to talk to and argue with pro-Israel individuals, something very much expected when you want to speak to an American audience.</p>
+<p>Israeli leaders make the bogus claim that they are fighting “terrorism” (except they don&#8217;t consider their own <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/white-phosphorous">white phosphorous</a> bombs, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/drones">drones</a>, F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopters to be “terrorist”) and want to achieve peace with Palestinians through dialogue and negotiations. Yet, ironically, when ordinary Palestinians ask for a permit to travel and dialogue, they are faced with apathy, distrust and rejection.</p>
+<p>Could it be that Israel just doesn&#8217;t want the world to hear directly from Palestinians &#8212; especially those trapped in Gaza?</p>
+<p>Israel leaves us with few options. As long as all Palestinians, including writers, artists, journalists and academics, are denied basic human rights, Israeli institutions that profit from or support the occupation and siege should be boycotted.</p>
+<p>Until equal rights are given to all people living in historic Palestine, regardless of race, color or religion, Israel&#8217;s oppression should be fought and its racist policies challenged.</p>
+<p>Luckily, three of my friends &#8212; editor <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/refaat-alareer">Refaat Alareer</a> and contributors <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/people/yousef-m-aljamal">Yousef Aljamal</a> and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/rawan-yaghi">Rawan Yaghi</a> &#8212; did make it to the US for the tour.</p>
+<p>They were already out of Gaza studying in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/malaysia">Malaysia</a> and the UK before the tour started (just imagine if the four of us were all in Gaza), so it was relatively easy for them to travel to the US.</p>
+<h2>Locked up</h2>
+<p>I watched some of their talks online: they were moving, funny and inspiring. Rawan read an extract from the story I contributed to the book. They had a poster with a silhouette of me and the words “Sarah Ali should be here” inscribed on it at all their events.</p>
+<p>Sometimes when I recall the procedures I followed while applying for the visa and waiting for the permit, each step long and onerous, I console myself by thinking, “Well, at least you had a cardboard stand-in with your name on it roaming America. It might have passed by Central Perk.”</p>
+<p>I used to think that calling Gaza “the largest open-air prison” was hyperbolic, but recently I started to believe it might just be the perfect description. Every day, there are hundreds of Palestinians stuck in Gaza.</p>
+<p>There are students who fear losing their scholarships abroad, people who want to visit their families in the West Bank or abroad, families who risk their residency in the Gulf or European countries if they stay in Gaza longer than they plan to, pilgrims who want to travel to Mecca, and people who want to travel for fun &#8212; a very legitimate reason to travel.</p>
+<p>Freedom of movement is a human right. No civilian population should be locked up like this. Nobody should have to think of borders a hundred times before they consider traveling or booking a ticket. Nobody should have to live at the mercy of occupation.</p>

+<span class="field field-author">Courtesy of the family</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>It’s been over a year since I’ve been away from home. When I received a scholarship to study abroad for one semester in the United States in August 2023, my original plan was to travel for four months. But now I must stay in North Carolina, far from my family in Gaza, due to the genocide.</p>
+<p>I have three brothers and three sisters. I’m the second youngest of all my siblings (the youngest is Ahmed, who is 20) and I am an uncle to 10 nephews and nieces.</p>
+<p>My nephew Mahmoud, 6, is particularly dear to my heart, and not only because he is my namesake. He once asked me to chastise the floor after he fell, saying, “Bad floor! How dare you hit Mahmoud!” Afterward, he asked me to go with him to buy chips and candy. He loved my stories and was always sad when he had to leave my house.</p>
+<p>Recently, my brother Mohammed sent me a photo of Mahmoud sitting on a makeshift bench and selling <em>anbers</em>, or candied apples – a project that my brother devised for him to lift his spirits.</p>
+<p>Mahmoud&#8217;s adorable smile is the same, but much has changed.</p>
+<p>On my comfy bed, I stared at the photo for some time. Little Mahmoud looked tired, his eyes puffy. His clothes and legs were dirty. He was almost half his usual weight. I looked at his smile, and I smiled. I listened again to the voice note that came with the photo: he said he was so excited to sell candied apples to make money to help his father.</p>
+<p>In Mahmoud’s old life, he used to worry about his crayons and toys. He didn&#8217;t like when we touched his blue Spiderman toy. He enjoyed sweets, a story and a kiss before bed.</p>
+<p>What Mahmoud didn&#8217;t know is that, at the end of the day, the candied-apple project had not done so well. My brother had to lower the price because nobody was buying. But my brother added some money to the pot and counted it with Mahmoud at night, in the tent with a small light, and gave Mahmoud a shekel as a reward.</p>
+<p>Missing from the scene were all the comforts Mahmoud should have: a bed, a home, a sense of safety.</p>
+<p>In his voice note, Mahmoud cried, and I heard my brother tell him, “Don’t cry, you’re a man.” I wanted to respond: No, he’s not.</p>
+<p>He is a child who misses his favorite candies and his blue Spiderman toy. He is tired and barefoot. He is terrified of bombs and understands that death is possible. He is trying to make sense of what is happening, as a child would: he told me that his Spiderman ran away before their house was bombed.</p>
+<p>Instead of being in school, he works. He’s growing up in a tent, exposed to the heat and cold. He is preoccupied with how to make money and survive, where the water, food and wood will come from and how his torn flip-flop will be mended.</p>
+<h2>My brother Ahmed</h2>
+<p>My younger brother Ahmed, like Mahmoud and myself, is also a child of war.</p>
+<p>Ahmed and I shared a bedroom for most of our lives. We fought for the corner bed, the one close to the window that would usher in more air during no-electricity hours.</p>
+<p>We would each vie for the better half of a sandwich, the more-full cup of tea.</p>
+<p>He preferred the lights on; I wanted them off.</p>
+<p>We had a running rivalry over who would get to control the TV remote.</p>
+<p>Our rivalry was a constant of our childhoods.</p>
+<p>During my third year of college, Ahmed graduated from high school with excellent grades. But my parents, though they worked hard to support us all, still struggled financially, and they couldn’t afford to have us both in college at the same time.</p>
+<p>My parents wanted to borrow money so he could attend college, too. But Ahmed said that he would wait.</p>

+<span class="field field-author">Photo courtesy of the family</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>He got a job at a clothing factory, where he was on his feet for eight hours a day, doing the repetitive and grueling work of steaming clothes.</p>
+<p>He would wake up early, help with chores and then head back to the factory.</p>
+<p>Most days he would stumble into our bedroom exhausted, sweating from head to toe, feet swollen. I would be studying, sitting in a comfortable chair with a fan pointed in my direction, drinking coffee and grappling with Shakespearean English.</p>
+<p>Ahmed worked for a full year.</p>
+<p>When I left for the United States in August, Ahmed could finally enroll in college classes since I would now be on a scholarship. He was very excited about this – and, as I expected, he thrived in his classes, mostly graphic design, communications and advertising.</p>
+<p>But the genocide began two months into his studies, and his education again was put on hold.</p>
+<p>Everything my family had fought to build was bombed by Israel: the house, the car, our small formal wear rental shop. Ahmed and the rest of my family were forced to evacuate to Rafah, in southern Gaza, in November 2023.</p>
+<h2>“What happened to your laugh?”</h2>
+<p>Today, Ahmed takes care of my parents, as my other siblings have families of their own to tend to. He wakes in the early hours of the morning to collect firewood and then to fill water jugs. He balances heavy sacks of flour on his shoulders and walks for miles back to the tent. He sleeps on the ground so my mother can stretch her arthritic legs on the mattress.</p>
+<p>The last time we had a video call, I saw that he wasn&#8217;t the Ahmed I knew. He had lost over 50 pounds, unable to keep on weight since he lives off canned goods and has barely had a bite of protein in a year.</p>
+<p>He had contracted Hepatitis B. He was pale, with sunken eyes, not at all his usual laughing self. The war has consumed his body.</p>
+<p>Still, we were able to laugh, just a bit. But I didn’t recognize his laugh. I asked him, “What happened to your laugh?”</p>
+<p>Ahmed always had a loud laugh.</p>
+<p>“I don&#8217;t know,” he said. “It’s not coming anymore.”</p>
+<p>I would give up everything for my brother. I dream of him and I long for the days when we would laugh together again.</p>
+<p>I didn’t want my brother to see me crying on the call, so I hung up quickly.</p>
+<p>I wanted to tell him that I missed him and that his soul would shine again.</p>

+<p>Everything has changed. I am now just trying to survive.</p>
+<p>In Gaza, it feels like darkness has taken over. I am struggling to find myself in this darkness.</p>
+<p>Life has been incredibly tough ever since this war began. We don&#8217;t have clean water, electricity or internet access.</p>
+<p>The little food available is constantly getting more expensive.</p>
+<p>Human life seems to have little value.</p>
+<p>Even the cats are scavenging for food among piles of trash.</p>
+<p>The happiness of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/gazas-education-system-being-erased/41301">graduating</a> from college soon vanished in the darkness.</p>
+<p>The darkness deepened when more than 10 of my friends and acquaintances were killed.</p>
+<p>Tears keep flowing. Not just from me but from all Palestinians.</p>
+<p>In Gaza &#8211; particularly in the north and center &#8211; people flock to the main streets every day, hoping for food aid. They risk their lives to feed their families.</p>
+<p>Bringing back food &#8211; even just flour &#8211; turns you into a hero.</p>
+<p>Children go to search for food with their fathers. The intense disappointment can be seen on peoples’ faces when they return emptyhanded.</p>
+<p>Every time our fathers return safely from their dangerous trip, it feels like Eid, an occasion to celebrate.</p>
+<h2>Fighting for survival</h2>
+<p>Back in the day, our meals looked like a mosaic of health. They were packed with all the stuff our bodies needed to thrive.</p>
+<p>Fresh fruit and vegetables gave our tables a sense of vigor. Every bite was a delight.</p>
+<p>Our cooking was all about keeping it simple. Close to the earth.</p>
+<p>With ingredients like olives and thyme, we honored our heritage with every dish. Each meal was a tribute to the land we cherish.</p>
+<p>Food and culture were intertwined in our daily lives. Now &#8211; in these tough times &#8211; our feasts are distant memories.</p>
+<p>The simple pleasure of fresh food is a luxury we can only dream of. We fight to get the things we need for survival.</p>
+<p>We miss the days when milk and eggs were easy to come by. It&#8217;s hard to watch our little brothers and sisters grow up without the type of food they need to stay healthy.</p>
+<p>Instead, we&#8217;re stuck dealing with shortages and not knowing what tomorrow will bring. We do our best to keep going with the little that we have.</p>
+<p>The streets feel empty without the familiar faces we used to see every day. It feels like we are in a ghost town now, with reminders of lives and dreams that were crushed.</p>
+<p>Places that used to be lively are now just piles of rubble, showing how easily everything can be destroyed.</p>
+<p>The places we knew so well are now silent. Instead of windows and doors, there are only empty spaces, reminding us of the void in our lives.</p>
+<p>Our homes used to be filled with color and life. Now they’re covered in ash and rubble, suffocating the memories we once cherished.</p>
+<p>I never thought that I&#8217;d miss the old me. I loved listening to music and taking walks in nature, watching kids play without a care in the world.</p>
+<p>Before the war, every little pleasure felt like a gift, even things like a few hours of electricity or slow internet.</p>
+<p>Everything has changed. I now eat to survive, not for enjoyment.</p>
+<p>Food tastes bland. All I hear are bombs exploding.</p>
+<p>I have lost more than my home. I have lost a part of myself.</p>
+<p>All my dreams have been shattered. I feel empty and trapped in a never-ending nightmare.</p>
+<p>I wish the world would stop and take notice of the destruction around us.</p>
+<p>The new me is nothing like the old one. I am constantly thinking about how to keep my family safe in this deadly environment.</p>
+<p>I long for the peaceful life I used to have, when I could walk the streets without fear.</p>
+<p>My body craves healthy food and clean air, the things I once took for granted.</p>

+<p>She has established a makeshift camp for children, “Hope Will Remain,” in her still-standing home and adjacent tents for the forcibly displaced in the area.</p>
+<p>There is no electricity, no lighting, no good ventilation but activities are ongoing and include kite-flying lessons, singalongs and other entertainment activities for children.</p>
+<p>The camp is staffed entirely by volunteers and also aims to provide healthy meals and psychosocial support.</p>
+<p>“The lack of appropriate places to work in, lack of electricity and lack of equipment and supplies is a major challenge for us,” Dr. Abu Sitta, who is also my mother’s cousin, told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
+<p>Nevertheless, volunteers are motivated by a desire to provide the children with at least some temporary relief from the horrors of their situation.</p>
+<p>“We are mostly focused on involving them in different activities, including painting, singing and writing,” said one of the volunteers at the camp.</p>
+<h2>Children most at risk</h2>
+<p>The lives of children, who make up nearly half of Gaza&#8217;s 2.3 million population, have been devastated in Israel’s brutal war on Gaza.</p>
+<p>More than 14,000 children have been killed so far, according to Palestinian health officials, roughly half of whom have yet to be fully identified. Many more are suffering from injuries, their lives radically changed.</p>
+<p>A further 21,000 children are believed lost, many trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or separated from their families, <a href="https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/news/media-centre/press-releases/over-20000-children-estimated-to-be-lost-in-gaza">according to</a> Save the Children.</p>
+<p>In March, the UN’s agency for Palestine refugees, UNRWA, said at least 17,000 children had lost one or both of their parents since 7 October, a number that will only have increased since.

+Among these are four siblings from the Amar family — Fatima, 12, Hor Aleen, 11, Habiba, 5, and Osama,11 – who lost their father, Hosni, in early February, when he was hit twice in an Israeli drone attack while out looking for food for his family.</p>
+<p>The family had been displaced from their home when a missile struck a neighbor’s house. But the sanctity they then sought at their grandmother’s house was short-lived. On the third night there, another Israeli missile struck an adjacent home.</p>
+<p>As a result, the Amars sought refuge at a Red Crescent building in Khan Younis, where they stayed for months.</p>
+<p>Israel has continued to block aid from reaching Gaza, however, and when famine set in, Hosni set off for his ill-fated excursion for food.</p>
+<p>Still, the children considered themselves lucky that at least they managed to bury their father.</p>
+<p>Thousands of people are believed to have been buried under rubble, with little chance of evacuating their corpses for burial.</p>
+<p>Many have been killed in the streets, either en route from shelter to shelter, or out searching for food and water, their bodies left to rot.</p>
+<p>At least, said Fatima, they know where their father is.</p>
+<p>“I pray for my dad in every prayer,” little sister Habiba said.</p>
+<h2>Hunger and disease</h2>
+<p>It is not only direct violence that impacts children’s lives in Gaza.</p>
+<p>The availability of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/news-highlights-week-31-israels-genocide-gaza">medicine</a> is critically limited because Israel has enforced a closure of the Gaza crossings and is <a href="https://www.refugeesinternational.org/reports-briefs/siege-and-starvation-how-israel-obstructs-aid-to-gaza/">obstructing</a> the flow of aid.</p>
+<p>The rate of <a href="https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/humanitarian-situation-update-193-gaza-strip-enarhe">infectious diseases</a> is spiking, in part due to overcrowding in exposed camps for the forcibly displaced, in part due to weakening immune systems as a result of malnutrition, and in part as a result of dirty water, which is also causing previously eradicated diseases like <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/19/middleeast/israel-gaza-polio-detected-water-sewage-intl/index.html">polio</a> to resurface.</p>
+<p>Food is at <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/sleeping-hungry-famine-afflicts-northern-gaza/47781">a premium</a>, and prices have skyrocketed even as the ability to bring cash into Gaza has been severely restricted.</p>
+<p>It has <a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2024/0703/gaza-war-palestinians-cash-atms">been reported</a> that only a handful ATMs are still operating in Gaza, and cash is running out at banks.</p>
+<p>This has left people struggling to access salaries or savings, or indeed afford scarce food and clean water.</p>
+<p>Combined, poverty, famine and disease are among the indirect factors that led researchers with British medical journal <em>The Lancet</em> to <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext">project</a> a “conservative estimate” of 186,000 or more casualties caused by Israel’s genocide.</p>
+<p>Predictably, the young pay a heavy price.</p>
+<h2>Trauma</h2>
+<p>Many children in Gaza, like Kenan, 10, have to bear adult burdens like securing food, water and firewood for their families.</p>
+<p>All Kenan wants is respite.</p>
+<p>“I miss going to school,” he told The Electronic Intifada. “My only dream is that this war stops and we get the bread we need.”</p>
+<p>And almost all children in Gaza – half the 2.3 million population – have witnessed unimaginable horrors over the past nine months.</p>
+<p>Yasser Abu Jami, a resident doctor at the embattled <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/patients-die-israeli-troops-storm-gaza-hospital">Nasser Medical Complex</a> in the western part of Khan Younis, said mothers are increasingly bringing their children to the hospital because they can’t make them stop screaming in fear.</p>
+<p>Trauma is not always loud.</p>
+<p>Anwar, my 12-year-old cousin from Deir al-Balah, visited me in May, bringing <em>molokhia</em> for a rare delight.</p>
+<p>On the way home, he witnessed an Israeli missile strike. He fainted at the scene, but survived, and his mother found him and brought him home.</p>
+<p>For one week, he refused to speak or eat and did not want to leave his bed. And while he is better now, his mental health is still impacted.</p>
+<p>It is children like these Dr Maysa Abu Sitta hopes to reach with her “Hope Will Remain” camps.</p>
+<p>She wants to expand the project to all of Gaza.</p>
+<p>“All children need to talk about what they have seen and heard during this war,” she told The Electronic Intifada.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Ahmad is 8.</p>
+<p>At that age, children can feel increasingly confident, their creativity can blossom, they can become more aware of what is happening in the world.</p>
+<p>Over the past eight years, Ahmad has been exposed to a world of both horror and joy. He has already lived through two large-scale Israeli attacks on Gaza: one in the summer of 2014, the other in May this year.</p>
+<p>On 15 May, Israel <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/families-obliterated-lives-destroyed/33386">bombed</a> the Abu Hatab family&#8217;s home in Beach refugee camp without warning. Of the 10 people killed in that incident, two were mothers and eight were children.</p>
+<p>Ahmad was a neighbor and friend to some of those children. He cannot understand why they were wiped out so violently.</p>
+<p>“We used to play together in the yard,” he said. “We played football and hide and seek. Why will we never see them again?”</p>
+<p>Both during and after the May attack, Ahmad has encountered trouble sleeping at night. When he gets to sleep, he often has nightmares.</p>
+<h2>Triggering painful memories</h2>
+<p>The term “post-traumatic stress disorder” is widely used to describe the psychological effects of war or disaster. Yet the term may not be applicable to Palestinians who have been attacked repeatedly and oppressed without pause for many decades.</p>
+<p>Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei from the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme points out that each Israeli attack triggers painful memories of previous attacks. Healing thereby becomes more difficult.</p>
+<p>“Gazans are not in a post-traumatic condition but in an ongoing condition that needs deeper attention,” he <a href="https://gcmhp.ps/news/667">wrote</a> during the May offensive.</p>
+<p>In 2020, the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme assisted more than 3,200 children, according to Abu Jamei.</p>
+<p>“It is two months since Israel&#8217;s latest attack ended,” he told The Electronic Intifada. “We don&#8217;t yet have the final figures for how many children we are assisting because of that attack. But I can tell you that the numbers are big. And they will be bigger than those for last year.”</p>
+<p>There has been a discernible increase, he confirmed, in problems associated with childhood stress since the May offensive. Such problems include hyperactivity, disobedience toward parents, nightmares, aches in joints and panic attacks.</p>
+<p>The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor <a href="https://euromedmonitor.org/uploads/reports/gazachildrepen.pdf">states</a> that before the May attack, approximately 33 percent of Gaza&#8217;s children required support because of trauma resulting from previous Israeli violence. The proportion of children who are traumatized has risen to more than 90 percent following the May offensive.</p>
+<p>Israel <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/how-israel-slowly-suffocates-gaza">killed</a> 63 children during the attack. Eleven of those children had been <a href="https://www.nrc.no/news/2021/may/11-children-killed/">receiving</a> psychological support from the Norwegian Refugee Council.</p>
+<p>Muhammad, 11, vomited frequently in the two weeks after the May attack. His weight dropped considerably.</p>
+<p>“The area near us was bombed very heavily,” said Muhammad&#8217;s father. “My son was terrified. He started to deteriorate gradually.”</p>
+<p>As a result of trauma care, Muhammad&#8217;s health has subsequently improved.</p>
+<h2>Sharing fears</h2>
+<p>Dr. Sami Owaida from the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme has counseled Muhammad. Encouraging children to express themselves is vital, Owaida noted.</p>
+<p>“We notice sometimes that children avoid speaking about the traumatic experiences that they went through,” he said. “Our task is to urge them to speak about their experiences and to share their fears. We have to respect children&#8217;s thoughts and feelings so that we can dispel their fears.”</p>
+<p>Reaching out to their mothers or fathers for comfort is literally impossible for some. More than 240 children lost one or both parents during the May attack, <a href="https://euromedmonitor.org/uploads/reports/gazachildrepen.pdf">according to</a> the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.</p>
+<p>Turning to teachers is not a viable option in many cases, either.</p>
+<p>Schools in Gaza remain closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation makes dealing with trauma all the more difficult.</p>
+<p>“Children need to spend time together,” said Owaida. “In school, they are with their peers. They can talk and express themselves better for that reason.”</p>
+<p>The importance of having a good time cannot be exaggerated for traumatized children. Much therapy is based on enabling children to have fun.</p>
+<p>“Children need to play,” said Owaida. “That is how they release the negative energy inside them.”</p>

+<span class="field field-author">Ahmed Abed</span>
+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>I started my mental health journey a few years ago.</p>
+<p>From the time of Operation Cast Lead &#8211; Israel&#8217;s major attack on Gaza in late 2008 and 2009 &#8211; I have felt haunted.</p>
+<p>My dad <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/why-i-cannot-live-gazas-trauma/32541">received</a> a phone call during that offensive from someone working with the International Committee of the Red Cross.</p>
+<p>The caller told us that we would have to evacuate our home within five minutes. Israel was about to bomb it.</p>
+<p>Although the bombing of our home did not materialize, I have felt that I am running for my life ever since then.</p>
+<p>I have talked about the experience at length in counseling sessions. Yet not only has the feeling never left me, it has become much more intense.</p>
+<p>Following another Israeli offensive against Gaza in 2021, the feeling was accompanied by a more general sense of anxiety.</p>
+<p>My mom Halima had a panic attack during that offensive.</p>
+<p>She called me from Gaza and said, “There is shelling everywhere. They want to kill us all. We will die soon.”</p>
+<p>She urged me to do something to save their lives.</p>
+<p>I have kept going to my therapy sessions because all I want is to feel well in my mind, body and soul. Despite the sessions, my problems remain acute.</p>
+<h2>Unbearable pain</h2>
+<p>I have begun having an unbearable pain in my gut, along with other unpleasant symptoms: numbness in my arms, a lump in my throat, loss of appetite, digestive problems.</p>
+<p>I have gone to see a total of seven specialists in Belgium, where I now live.</p>
+<p>Most of them told me the same thing: “You&#8217;ve been exposed to so much trauma and distress.”</p>
+<p>As a result, I have been diagnosed with damage to the vagus nerve.</p>
+<p>Running from the brain stem to part of the colon, it is the largest cranial nerve.</p>
+<p>The “rest and digest” functions of the body depend on it. The nerve carries signals between the brain, the heart and the digestive system.</p>
+<p>The damage has put my body in a constant state of “fight or flight.”</p>
+<p>The messages sent from the brain to the digestive system have been distorted. That explains the symptoms I have encountered.</p>
+<p>After many consultations, my gastroenterologist recommended a low dose of antidepressants. The aim is to increase the serotonin levels in my body and thereby reset the functioning of the vagus nerve.</p>

+<p>“I also took antidepressants for six months because I was having so much pain in my back and shoulders,” she told me. “And I was losing a lot of weight. I was feeling disconnected from reality and had no desire to do even basic things. My arms were always very numb.”</p>
+<h2>Astonished</h2>
+<p>The strong resemblance between our symptoms astonished me. I was particularly taken aback by how she, too, had experienced numbness in her arms.</p>
+<p>I told her that I thought it was amazing that we had felt the same things in the same parts of the body. Yet my mom was not shocked or surprised.</p>
+<p>“It&#8217;s normal,” she said. “You are my daughter. I carried you in my womb and raised you despite all the hardships here.”</p>
+<p>I asked her what exactly she meant by using the word “hardships.”</p>
+<p>She replied by referring to how my dad had been <a href="https://www.redpepper.org.uk/13-years-as-a-palestinian-political-prisoner/">imprisoned</a> by Israel for 13 years.</p>
+<p>“He was prevented from being by my side when I was pregnant and gave birth to your brothers and sisters,” she said. “I was constantly worried about him and wondering if we will ever have a normal family life. I had to be strong. I had to take care of you while also writing letters to him and visiting him in prison.”</p>
+<p>Learning about my mom’s past brought back memories of stories my paternal grandmother shared with us. Stories about the Nakba, the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine.</p>
+<p>“We left our home in the village of Beit Jirja, running,” my grandmother said. “We had no time to get any of our belongings. I carried your uncle Khader on my shoulders and your uncle Muhammad around my waist. We walked all the way from the village to Gaza City.”</p>
+<p>My grandmother was called Tamam. I am named after her.</p>
+<p>She was a charming and resilient woman who had survived the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-cronin/watch-how-britain-wanted-jewish-ulster-palestine">brutality</a> of British rule in Palestine, the Nakba, two intifadas and numerous Israeli acts of aggression toward Gaza.</p>
+<p>But she was not invincible. Nobody is.</p>
+<h2>Afraid</h2>
+<p>Whenever Israel was attacking Gaza, she would get very anxious.</p>
+<p>During the Israeli invasion of southern Gaza in 2006, we could hear the tanks from our home clearly. They made a loud screeching sound.</p>
+<p>As the tanks got close to our home, my grandmother went to the kitchen and collected all the knives. She then buried them in the garden because she was afraid the Israeli army would come into our home and stab us with our own knives.</p>
+<p>Years later, our gardener found the knives in a gunny sack. They were buried in the soil.</p>
+<p>My grandmother had two rules for us when we were little children who wanted to play everywhere and all the time.</p>
+<p>Never play on the rooftop. And never play at night.</p>
+<p>She was afraid that if we didn&#8217;t follow her rules, we would be targets for the Israeli occupation.</p>
+<p>My mom explained to me once that my grandmother had always been afraid of Israel&#8217;s soldiers “but she never showed it when confronting them.”</p>
+<p>“Your grandmother spent her youth running after her five children, who were serving sentences in Israel&#8217;s jails,” my mom said.</p>
+<p>My paternal grandmother had a total of seven children. At one point during the first intifada, five of them were imprisoned at the same time.</p>
+<p>“She had a tiring life,” my mom added. “Yet she gave everything that she had to Palestine and her family.”</p>
+<p>My direct experiences are a big part of what I am.</p>
+<p>I was born in 1993, the year of the Oslo accords. They were hailed as a peace deal in the international media but proved disastrous for Palestinians.</p>
+<p>I belong to a politically active family and I witnessed the second intifada, the imposition of a total blockade on Gaza and Israel&#8217;s repeated attacks.</p>
+<p>But that is not the whole story. My recent health issues have made me aware of how wounds inflicted on my family &#8211; through Israel&#8217;s colonial aggression &#8211; have been passed on to me.</p>
+<p>I have become mindful, too, that Western therapists who treat Palestinians do not see the full picture. By focusing on current events, they fail to deal with intergenerational trauma.</p>
+<p>The journey I have undertaken should serve as a wake-up call to mental health professionals.</p>
+<p>They need to address a range of issues: both present-day and historical trauma and the way that trauma is passed on from one generation to the next, collective and individual loss and all the resulting symptoms.</p>
+<p>The mainstream media and the general public need to wake up, too.</p>
+<p>They need to stop pigeonholing Palestinians. We should not be regarded as heroes, villains or victims.</p>
+<p>Palestinians are ordinary people living under a settler-colonial regime and forced to fight for freedom, justice and dignity.</p>
+<p>No matter how much we work on healing our trauma, the liberation of our homeland is the only way that we can truly heal ourselves, as individuals and as a community.</p>

Fifty-four percent of mental health patients at MSF clinics in the Gaza Strip were under the age of 12 in 2010, it said. Over a third of the cases MSF treats in Gaza and over half in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/location/nablus">Nablus</a> in the West Bank are severe, and affect the functioning of a person in daily life.</p><p>“More than half of consultations in Gaza and in Nablus are for children under 18 years old, so far in 2011,” said Hélène Thomas, psychological coordinator for MSF-France in Jerusalem.</p><p>“Children and adolescents have particular symptoms of psychological distress, like bedwetting, nightmares, learning difficulties [reading and speech], concentration and memory problems and therefore academic failure, or even aggressive behavior,” said Thomas.</p><p>MSF provided 6,099 psychological consultations and treated 702 new patients in 2010 at their six centers in Gaza and one in Nablus, compared to 4,912 consultations in 2009.</p><p>���Nearly half of MSF patients under 15 years old in Gaza were treated for PTSD and nearly a third were treated for other anxiety disorders in 2010,” said Thomas, and “about a fifth of patients under 15 years old in Nablus were treated for PTSD.”</p><p><strong>Harassment from settlers and soldiers</strong></p><p>In Gaza, 74 percent of cases in 2010 came one year after a violent event. In Nablus a high level of anxiety cases (more than 40 percent of all MSF patients) were diagnosed with anxiety related to settler harassment and military incursions.</p><p>“Children form an emotional association with symbols of a traumatic event,” said Thomas, “like when Israeli soldiers raid a home with dogs, and after the child develops a phobia of dogs, linking dogs to the event and fear associated with it.”</p><p>Mental health professionals from the Palestinian Treatment and Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture (TRC) also reported that children receiving mental health care overwhelmingly suffered from PTSD and other anxiety disorders.</p><p>TRC treated 3,800 patients across the West Bank in 2010, about 15 percent of them children. The center is partnered with the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme (GCMHP).</p><p>The TRC&#8217;s team of 36 psychologists and six psychiatrists say a popular form of psychotherapy &#8212; eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), developed in the US in 1987 &#8212; is proving successful in the center&#8217;s treatment of children.</p><p>EMDR, often used in conjunction with cognitive therapy, creates bilateral stimulation (induced by, for example, eye-movements, tones or tapping) between the right and left sides of the brain during sessions to resolve the development of trauma-related disorders caused by exposure to distressing events such as rape or military combat.</p><p>According to the EMDR Institute founder Francine Shapiro, when a traumatic experience occurs, it may overwhelm usual cognitive and neurological coping mechanisms. The memory and associated stimuli of the event are inadequately processed and dysfunctionally stored.</p><p>Psychologists from TRC and the East Jerusalem Young Men&#8217;s Christian Association (YMCA) travelled to California in May to begin certification in EMDR training with Shapiro. In about a year&#8217;s time TRC will begin to train Palestinian mental health professionals in EMDR techniques.</p><p>EMDR therapy aims to process these distressing memories, reduce their lingering influence and enable clients to develop coping mechanisms, said Khader Rasras, TRC executive director and clinical psychologist.</p><p>“I ask the child to recall the memories of the traumatic event in their minds, or for younger children the parent may recall the event,” explained Rasras, and “while reviewing the events chronologically the child follows my back-and-forth finger movements with their eyes.”</p><p><strong>Girl sees dad arrested</strong></p><p>After Lina, an eight-year-old from Ramallah, witnessed her father forcibly removed by Israeli soldiers from the family home about a year ago she was diagnosed with acute PTSD. He remains in administrative detention, imprisoned without charge or trial.</p><p>“Soldiers kicked in the door and began searching,” recalled Lina, “and when my father put his hands behind his head I held on to his leg. A soldier pulled me away by my hair.”</p><p>After Lina developed a stuttering problem, bed-wetting and lost weight, her mother brought her to TRC.</p><p>“Lina responds well when I tap on her right and left knees,” said Rasras. “EMDR is well suited for children since it is interactive, often with hand-games and drawing, and children do not have sophisticated memory networks.”</p><p>Mental health professionals from GCMHP have yet to be granted permission by the Israeli authorities to exit Gaza for training. Under more than four years of strict <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/gaza-siege">blockade</a>, Gaza health professionals are rarely allowed to leave Gaza for training or education.</p><p>Cultural sensitivities are also a barrier to mental health care, although MSF reports that it is easier for parents to bring children for treatment, and often seek treatment themselves after they see results.</p><p>TRC head Rasras said he offered to place a barrier between himself and female patients, such as a handkerchief, when taping their hands or shoulders to help patients feel comfortable. Even then, the social stigma of mental health care in West Bank rural areas is often too great for many patients to continue treatment.</p><p><em>This item comes to you via IRIN, a UN humanitarian news and information service, but may not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations or its agencies.

(Firas El-Shaer / <span class="caps">APA</span>&nbsp;Images) </p></figcaption></figure><p>Mustafa Abu Zir is fearful for the future of Palestinians’ mental health in&nbsp;Gaza.</p>
+<p>The psychotherapist, who is from Gaza but is now based in the Netherlands, said that Israel’s nonstop wars on Gaza will only deepen the current mental health&nbsp;disaster.</p>
+<p>“We will surely see <span class="caps">PTSD</span> [post-traumatic stress disorder], panic, fatigue, anxiety, depression and nervousness,” he said. “Children, who should have an enjoyable childhood, will now be unable to live a normal&nbsp;life.”</p>
+<p>Even before Israel’s latest war on Gaza, the statistics on mental health in Gaza were&nbsp;alarming.</p>
+<p>An April 2023 <a href="https://pmpj.najah.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1141&amp;context=journal">study</a> published in the <em>Palestinian Medical and Pharmaceutical Journal</em> found that “Palestinians are much more likely to suffer from <span class="caps">PTSD</span> and depression than the global average and their neighboring&nbsp;countries.”</p>
+<p>Furthermore, nearly 33 percent of children in Gaza are believed to have “severe <span class="caps">PTSD</span>,” though the global average is 5&nbsp;percent.</p>
+<p>“Nightmares and horrors are chasing [children] all the time,” Abu Zir said, “and they are trapped in this dangerous&nbsp;zone.”</p>
+<p>Depression is estimated to affect 40 percent of adults in Gaza, according to the same&nbsp;study.</p>
+<p>Yet other sources put the figure higher. A 2022 <a href="https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099153502102330181/pdf/P17925303fca130e30936d016a378b6a1e9.pdf">study</a> from the World Bank and the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics stated that as many as 71 percent of Palestinians in Gaza screened positive for&nbsp;depression.</p>
+<h2>Urgent mental first&nbsp;aid</h2>
+<p>With Israel’s destruction of hospitals and medical facilities throughout Gaza, the options for mental health treatment in Gaza &#8211; which were <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/trapped-and-traumatized-gaza/20756">scarce</a> before October 2023 &#8211; will be nearly&nbsp;nonexistent.</p>
+<p>“When this war ends, people will go to public hospitals that have no specialized places for mental treatment,” Abu Zir&nbsp;said.</p>
+<p>“This temporary solution will only burden the hospital with extra cases. We must call for urgent mental first aid and help from all adjacent and outside countries to avoid any potential&nbsp;disasters.”</p>
+<p>Poverty, displacement and the daily witnessing of abject horrors will only compound the traumas faced by Palestinians in&nbsp;Gaza.</p>
+<p>Most of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million people has been forcibly displaced by Israeli airstrikes, and many of them will not have homes to return&nbsp;to.</p>
+<h2>Raising children amid the&nbsp;chaos</h2>
+<p>Kamila Abu Jaghim’s daughter Tasnim, 16, has Down’s&nbsp;syndrome.</p>
+<p>“We have dozens of people in the house, and it is too small to accommodate this many,” she said. “Tasnim is always frightened, and we cannot tell her that these panicky sounds are rockets. This will cause her mental&nbsp;destruction.”</p>
+<p>The family lives in Rafah, Gaza&#8217;s southernmost&nbsp;city.</p>
+<p>Raising a child who is not neurotypical is even more difficult without a set routine and access to&nbsp;resources.</p>
+<p>“Since the war, I try to keep her calm as much as&nbsp;possible.”</p>
+<p>Tasnim has headaches and “cannot sleep during the night. I do not know when this may end, but if it continues, I may lose&nbsp;her.”</p>
+<p>Hussein al-Ramlawi is father to Yousef, 11, who has <span class="caps">ADHD</span>.</p>
+<p>They were displaced from their home and now live in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, at a relative’s&nbsp;house.</p>
+<p>“He is now acting more uncontrollably,” Hussein said. Whenever Yousef hears a missile, he loses his&nbsp;mind.</p>
+<p>“I do really need to take him to a doctor since his situation scares me more and&nbsp;more.”</p>
+<p><em>Abubaker Abed is a journalist and translator from Deir al-Balah refugee camp in&nbsp;Gaza.</em></p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>In September 2023, I attended the <a href="https://icahd.org/2023/11/15/icahd-uk-annual-conference-2023/">annual meeting</a> of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions in London , having reconnected with the organization&#8217;s cofounder, <a href="https://icahd.org/category/jeff-halper/">Jeff Halper</a>, in Jerusalem a few weeks before.</p>
+<p>One of the speakers was <a href="https://www.pgmhn.org/calendar-1/yoad-ghanardy-hakim-at-the-whilliam-alanson-white-institute">Yoa&#8217;d Ghanadry-Hakim</a>, a clinical psychologist with the <a href="https://www.pcc-jer.org/en/about/about-us">Palestinian Counseling Center</a> in Beit Hanina.</p>
+<p>According to the website, the center was “founded in Jerusalem in 1983 by a group of psychologists, educators and community activists … to work with all members of the Palestinian Society exposed to political, social, economic and psychological prejudice and violence in order to support and develop the psychosocial concepts of services in Palestine.”</p>
+<p>Hakim said that, when discussing Palestinian psychology, the term PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) was entirely inappropriate.</p>
+<p>PTSD, which was not <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK201095/">classified</a>
+by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as a distinct mental health disorder until 1980, is a Western concept. The origins of the classification date to World War I, with the term “shell shock,” which included symptoms of tremors, memory loss and nightmares.</p>
+<p>There is nothing “post” about Palestinian trauma. It is individual and collective, direct and indirect, continuous and cross- and inter-generational, Hakim asserted.</p>
+<p>Even the therapeutic vocabulary imposed by often well-meaning experts to try to diagnose, treat and encompass Palestinian lived experiences is determined by Western mindsets; once again, Palestinian truth is diminished, silenced and denied.</p>
+<h2>Forced from home</h2>
+<p>A friend I will call Hiba to protect her real identity came to the conference with me.</p>
+<p>I first met Hiba in <a href="https://www.unrwa.org/where-we-work/lebanon/rashidieh-camp">Rashidieh</a>, a Palestinian refugee camp near Tyre in southern Lebanon, in 1998.</p>
+<p>I was volunteering with <a href="https://www.unipal.org.uk/background.html">Unipal</a>, a British education exchange that has been sending students to stay with Palestinians in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza Strip since 1972.</p>
+<p>The exchange’s aim is both pragmatic and deeply emotional.</p>
+<p>In both Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories, we volunteered with local nongovernmental organizations and led activities over the summer for Palestinian children for whom education was then – and continues to be – disrupted on any number of levels.</p>
+<p>Schools lack resources, electricity can be shut off, and students are often denied access to schools due to Israeli military blockades or attacks.</p>
+<p>But beyond this, our presence was a demonstration of solidarity – intangible, unquantifiable and yet vital: Palestinians told us that that it showed them that they had not been forgotten. They shared directly with us their stories, ones that had been – and continue to be – systematically suppressed.</p>
+<p>In turn, we came back to the United Kingdom and advocated on their behalf.</p>
+<p>Hiba is the oldest sister of five siblings, and, in the course of her life, she would come to be those siblings’ caregiver.</p>
+<p>Hiba’s parents were forcibly displaced from their village, <a href="https://www.palquest.org/en/place/17152/suhmata">Suhmata</a>, in northern historic Palestine, in 1948.</p>
+<p>I dislike the words “forcibly displaced.” The legalistic terminology belies the harsh reality of families fleeing violence in the form of armed attacks, gunfire, rape.</p>
+<p>Hiba’s parents ended up in a tent in Lebanon alongside thousands of other Palestinians who were told that they would be eventually allowed to return to their homeland.</p>
+<p>They have never been permitted to do so, despite numerous United Nations’ resolutions enshrining in international law the <a href="https://www.unrwa.org/content/resolution-194">right of return</a> of displaced Palestinians and their descendants.</p>
+<h2>Old wounds</h2>
+<p>The tents gradually morphed into makeshift dwellings and then to breezeblock and cement houses. In 1982, during the now-infamous Israeli-led <a href="https://www.palquest.org/en/highlight/168/lebanon-war-1982">attacks</a> on Lebanon and in particular on Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut, Hiba, her siblings and parents were forced to try to flee danger once again.</p>
+<p>Israeli soldiers opened fire and shot Hiba’s parents dead in front of her.</p>
+<p>At age 14, she effectively became an adult.</p>
+<p>When I met her all those years ago, Hiba was working with the local staff of an international NGO, running programs across Lebanon. Each day, she would return home to cook and look after two of her siblings who still lived with her. Those two siblings had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, which, Hiba was sure, was caused by the deep trauma of their childhood.</p>
+<p>Two other siblings had been separated from them after their parents were killed and raised in an <a href="https://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/">SOS village</a> in Switzerland. Hiba considers herself lucky: She obtained a Schengen visa from the EU to travel once a year to visit them.</p>
+<p>Hiba, who got married a few years after I met her, has never been able to have children</p>
+<p>We sat together at the conference last September and Hiba cried. For her, listening to a psychologist discuss the trauma endured by Palestianians was like listening to a depiction of her own mental health issues.</p>
+<p>Seven days later, in October 2023, the world turned on its axis and Gaza entered into a living hell. Footage emerged of Palestinian children having their already precarious childhoods ripped from them. Macabre footage was shown of child-sized body bags and of children, younger than my 10-year-old daughter, cradling a baby, trying to feed her, his other siblings huddled around him. The boy was now both mother and father to his siblings.</p>
+<p>My heart rose to my throat, my chest tightened. I couldn’t breathe.</p>
+<p>Hiba left a message. The wound that has never fully healed has been reopened.</p>
+<p>I recall the words of my Palestinian-Jordanian Arabic-language tutor when I was about to graduate university. Having been twice to Lebanon, I was now preparing to live in Ramallah, in the West Bank.</p>
+<p>“Find another cause, ya Amy,” he said. “Palestine will bring you nothing but heartache.”</p>
+<p>Nearly a quarter of a century on, my heartache is stronger than ever.</p>
+<h2>Survivor’s guilt</h2>
+<p>Eight months in, and counting, and I am listening to the <a href="https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/healthcare-within-humanitarian-crisis-experiences-gaza">testimonies</a> of doctors, nurses and midwives who have responded to calls from international aid organizations to assist in Gaza.</p>
+<p>They pay testament to the strength of their local colleagues. They explain what they have seen: countless shrapnel wounds, severely injured children.</p>
+<p>They recount what they have had to do: reuse, dozens of times, medical equipment designated for single use; perform amputations without anesthesia; choose whose lives they can save and whom they must move to the floor to let die.</p>
+<p>They describe what they have smelled — the stench of pus oozing from wounds; the putrid odor of unburied, decaying bodies.</p>
+<p>When their missions come to an end, they leave their hearts and minds behind in Gaza and carry through the Rafah crossing to Egypt the burden of survivor’s guilt.</p>
+<p>They leave behind them the injured, the dying, the bereaved; they leave behind them a population overwhelmed by a tsunami of trauma, grafting itself onto the deep-rooted ancestral pain of the past 75 years.</p>
+<p><a href="https://x.com/kdawas?lang=en">Khaled Dawas</a>, a consultant surgeon from London who has volunteered with international aid organizations multiple times, tells me that they are the lucky ones, because they have been able to enter Gaza.</p>
+<p>He tells me, too, that these talks he gives back in the UK are a salve of sorts.</p>
+<p>It’s a kind of therapy, for yet another kind of trauma.</p>

+<span class="field field-author">numerosept</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>For Palestinians in Gaza, the answer to “Have you ever been to Jerusalem?” is usually a complicated one.</p><p>I first went to Jerusalem in 2000 with my parents, grandmother and older sister. I was staring at a crowd of rabbis through the window of the bus that carried us to Jerusalem. They all were all dressed the in the same black outfits and black hats with long, straggly beards and their hair curled at their temples. I asked my mother who they were. “Religious Jews,” she answered.</p><p>My parents held my tiny hands as we unboarded the bus with the other “tourists,” many of whom were Palestinians like us. I was too young to realize that this visit could be the first and last time I would walk in my country&#8217;s capital.</p><p>We went to al-Aqsa Mosque and I was fascinated by the grandeur of the Dome of the Rock as it proudly basked in the sun, which made it look even more beautiful. My mother handed me a prayer rug and prayer gown and told me to pray. I unrolled the rug, wore the gown and made my prayer in the yard of al-Aqsa under the blue sky.</p><p>I also remember relishing the special flavor of Jerusalem when eating Nabulsi <em>kunafeh</em> (a traditional Palestinian and Arab dessert) at a shop in one of the markets the Old City.</p><p>My other memory is of my mother, sister and grandmother trying to remember the name of the gate where we were to meet my father. “Al-Qat &#8230; al-Qat&#8230; al-Qataneen!” I yelled, thrilled to be the one who remembered the name, and they cheered for me.</p><p>We had to go back to Gaza the same day, in accordance with the conditions stipulated on our permits. I was not more than a tourist in my own land.</p><p>My second trip to Jerusalem was in 2007, the year <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tag/gaza-siege">Israel imposed its siege on Gaza</a>. I was in a group of young, privileged Palestinians who were chosen to participate in the Arab Digital Expression Camps in Cairo for three weeks. We were given permits to leave Gaza via Israel through the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/Erez-checkpoint">Beit Hanoun/Erez crossing</a>, and then on to Jordan. Mubarak&#8217;s regime did not allow us to cross to Egypt directly through the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/Rafah-crossing">Rafah crossing</a> and spare us the humiliation at Erez. Our adult leaders were banned from accompanying us and we had to make it all the way from Erez to Jordan on our own.</p><p>The taxi dropped us off meters away from the gate. Under a hot August sun, we dragged our feet and our luggage toward the gate, which looks more like the entry to a prison complex than a gate of a crossing point. Beyond the gate one finds at first glance that one is under heavy surveillance. Cameras are everywhere, to tell you they are there, to punish you if you act in a way that might bother the Israeli officers. Large posters on the walls offer millions of dollars to those who will report to Israel the location of a captured Israeli soldier.</p><p>A long fenced road leads to a series of x-ray machines and metal detectors at the checkpoint. You must leave your luggage on the machine, take off anything that contains metal, even a necklace, and pass through the metal detector. If it signaled, you&#8217;re in trouble; if it didn&#8217;t, you go to the next one.</p><p>One particularly intimidating machine was much larger than the others. Once I got inside it, a woman ordered through a loudspeaker to raise my hands and stand still. The woman&#8217;s voice with a distorted English accent ordered me to get out of the machine and re-enter. She screamed at me, saying that I was not raising my hands the way I should had been doing. She made me go in and out of the machine five times. When she let me out, I thought there was no doubt that the radiation from the machine would give me cancer.</p><p>We were then forced to pass through many gates. If the gate beams a green light, one pushes it and goes on to the next. If it beams red, which is what happened to me, it is another story.</p><p>I was taken to a special room with an x-ray luggage detector, a woman officer and a table with a metal detector wand on it. The officer ordered me to take off my pants. For a moment I thought I had misunderstood her.</p><p>“Did you hear me?” she demanded. “Take off your pants and put them in the machine.”</p><p>I felt humiliated but forced myself to pretend that I was totally fine. She picked the wand and approached me. “Are you scared?” She sarcastically asked. “No,” I retorted, although I was soaked with fear. The device ran across my body. At that point I was wondering what one could hide under his or her skin or underwear!</p><p>When she let me out, I found the rest of the group waiting on a bench. I burst into tears; it would be tormenting to an animal to be treated this way, and I am a human.</p><p>Suddenly I burst out with laughter. The situation was absurd.</p><p>Our luggage was unpacked and mixed together. We spent hours separating our stuff and repacking our bags. In the end, we walked out of Erez and rode the bus to Allenby Bridge in the West Bank that leads to Jordan.</p><p>In the bus we screamed out of excitement, ecstasy and shock. We were in the occupied West Bank. We asked the driver to take us to Jerusalem and let us step on the ground of the holy city. Alas, to step foot on our land we needed a permit from strangers! We could only pass by Jerusalem and see a glimpse of the Dome of the Rock. But even seeing it from afar made me ignore, at least for a while, the treatment I had received at Erez.</p><p>And thus, we were led to the bridge, across to Jordan, from which we flew to Egypt.</p><p>Despite the news of Rafah crossing opening to Palestinians in Gaza, the reality is that Palestinians are still denied their right to go to wherever they want across all of Palestine. We are allowed to leave our home but not enter all of its rooms.</p><p><em>Rana Baker, 19, a student of business administration and a member of the Gaza-based BDS organizing committee.

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>On 23 January at around 5 pm, Israeli occupation forces began building a heavy fire belt around <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/nasser-medical-complex">Nasser Medical Complex</a>, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israel-besieges-hospitals-it-widens-offensive-khan-younis">marking</a> the beginning of the siege on the only hospital in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/khan-younis">Khan Younis</a>, southern Gaza.</p>
+<p>I left the hospital immediately, not out of fear for my situation but because I was responsible for my siblings, as my father was not in the area where we were staying after being displaced from the north. I thought being with them would help ease their worries.</p>
+<p>As expected, the hospital was surrounded from all directions, and arrests, bombings and destruction began. No person seeking treatment could reach the hospital, which was the only medical facility in Khan Younis for that and for transporting the wounded and martyrs. It became difficult to check on friends inside the hospital.</p>
+<h2>Medical station helps the wounded, sick</h2>
+<p>A medical station was established by the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/palestine-red-crescent-society">Palestine Red Crescent Society</a> in al-Mawasi, on the coast west of Khan Younis, and I joined the team there. We provided first aid, and those wounded in the war or with critical illnesses were transferred to hospitals in Rafah. The journey took about an hour when it should have taken no more than 15 minutes due to the rough and crowded roads.</p>
+<p>The medical station was the destination for displaced people and others seeking necessary treatment. Initially, we faced many difficulties due to a lack of resources and medical equipment. We were a team of paramedics, nurses and two doctors providing care for various war injuries and chronic diseases as well as for children, infants and pregnant women.</p>
+<p>It was hard to deal with many of the cases, especially those needing continuous follow-up care. Wounds were frequently inflamed and sometimes festering.</p>
+<p>I remember the case of a man with a gunshot wound that had left a large hole covering about two-thirds of one of his feet. In normal circumstances, a surgeon or vascular doctor would have treated him. But due to the siege and restrictions, I spent two hours cleaning his foot. I asked him to come for daily follow-ups and prescribed the necessary treatment.</p>
+<p>He often asked whether his foot would heal, and I told him, “God willing.” After two months of follow-up treatments, the wound healed, and I was happy with his improvement and his joy at his foot&#8217;s recovery.</p>
+<p>The patient traveled a long way to reach the Red Crescent point from the Deir al-Balah area to al-Mawasi because he indicated that he felt comfortable with and reassured by the treatment.</p>
+<p>We had many cases to deal with while under great pressure and feeling extremely fatigued.</p>
+<h2>Treating pregnant women</h2>
+<p>When it came to pregnant women, it was essential to check to ensure that an expectant mother was really going into labor so that she wasn&#8217;t transferred unnecessarily from Khan Younis to Rafah.</p>
+<p>However, I remember an emergency birth in which I helped a woman deliver her baby &#8211; successfully, thank God &#8211; in an ambulance because there wasn&#8217;t enough time to get her to the hospital.</p>
+<p>Another case involved a woman with severe bleeding in her seventh month of pregnancy and the fetus was dead, making the situation more difficult, but we quickly handled it.</p>
+<p>The medical team faced harsh challenges, and everything was difficult to bear. But what helped us continue were the team members’ cooperation and patience working in situations that exhausted our bodies and hearts.</p>
+<p>I am no longer based at the medical station, which has transformed into a field hospital after Israel&#8217;s invasion of Rafah. I have since left Gaza to pursue specialization, though I continue to manage the cases of my patients.</p>
+<p>As a newly graduated doctor, I bore and continue to bear a great responsibility, but this is the nature of Gaza&#8217;s people, who do not know the impossible and continue to fight in all directions.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Sara Bahar and her family were trapped in their home for a week when Israel invaded the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.</p>
+<p>All they had to eat was some bread which they baked by burning their own furniture. They had to ration the water they held in a barrel for fear that it would run out.</p>
+<p>After a week, a number of Israeli soldiers stormed their house at 2 am.</p>
+<p>The soldiers bulldozed a door at the front before entering the house with dogs.</p>
+<p>The dogs attacked Sara&#8217;s brother Muhammad, who had a disability.</p>
+<p>Muhammad screamed. And the soldiers laughed.</p>
+<p>Adam and Seif, two of Sara&#8217;s other brothers, were handcuffed and blindfolded by the invaders and taken into another room.</p>
+<p>The Israelis proceeded to beat the brothers, demanding information about the Palestinian armed resistance.</p>
+<p>After a few hours, Adam and Seif were taken away from the house by the soldiers. They remain in detention.</p>
+<p>Sara has another brother named Jad who has been imprisoned by Israel since the early stages of the current war.</p>
+<p>Her mother begged the doctors to bring a doctor for Muhammad.</p>
+<p>Eventually, they brought a man who they claimed was a doctor. That man went into the room where Muhammad was bleeding.</p>
+<p>Suddenly, the rest of the family could no longer hear Muhammad screaming any longer. He had been either killed or sedated, the family surmised.</p>
+<h2>Delivering a message?</h2>
+<p>When the man emerged from the room where Muhammad had been, he smiled at the soldiers “as if he was delivering a message,” Sara said.</p>
+<p>The soldiers ordered the women in the house to hand over their phones.</p>
+<p>“And all the soldiers sat next to each other, looking at the photos [on the phones] and laughing,” Sara said.</p>
+<p>During the several hours they spent in the house, the soldiers ate, drank juice and smoked in front of the hungry family.</p>
+<p>Before they eventually left the house, the soldiers kicked Sara and used their weapons to beat her in various parts of the body.</p>
+<p>The soldiers then ordered her and the other women to leave the house. When Sara&#8217;s mother begged that Muhammad be brought to her, a soldier pushed her outside.</p>
+<p>The soldier told her that she no longer had a son named Muhammad.</p>
+<p>As the women fled the area, Israel kept attacking it with a quadcopter and artillery shells.</p>
+<p>The women hid in the ruins of a shop for an hour. When they saw an Israeli bulldozer a few meters away, they left the shop and rushed to an empty house.</p>
+<p>Early the next morning, the women headed to the west of Gaza, where Sara&#8217;s brother Jibril lives.</p>
+<p>Jibril contacted the International Committee of the Red Cross and asked it to ascertain whether Muhammad was alive or dead. The Red Cross informed him that it was extremely difficult to reach Shujaiya.</p>
+<p>So Jibril set out to the neighborhood himself, along with two cousins.</p>
+<p>“When they arrived at our house, there was a shock,” Sara said.</p>
+<p>“They found the remains of our brother [Muhammad],” she added. “He had been left in the house for four days and his body had started to decompose.”</p>
+<p>“The room in which he was imprisoned had traces of his blood everywhere. I think he was killed by the soldier they claimed was a doctor &#8211; using a gun with a silencer.”</p>
+<h2>“Haunted”</h2>
+<p>Muhannad al-Jamal and his family experienced similar horrors.</p>
+<p>On 27 June, Israeli troops surrounded the family&#8217;s home in Shujaiya.</p>
+<p>The family gathered together in an upstairs room and recited the <em>shahada</em> &#8211; a Muslim&#8217;s final testament before God &#8211; as they feared the house would collapse on top of them.</p>
+<p>Suddenly, the soldiers broke into the house and opened fire. They also threw a number of grenades inside the building.</p>
+<p>Shrapnel flew everywhere and the family were injured.</p>
+<p>Safiya, Muhannad&#8217;s mother is in her sixties. She was wounded in the chest and started bleeding heavily.</p>
+<p>Muhannad and his four sisters rushed toward her and implored her not to die. His sisters begged the soldiers to bring a doctor but they refused.</p>
+<p>His sisters were taken outside and the soldiers ordered them to move southwards along Salah al-Din street. It was dark and the sound of bombardment was frightening.</p>
+<p>Muhannad was taken into another room in the house. The Israelis told him to remove his clothes.</p>
+<p>He was interrogated.</p>
+<p>Then he and his mother were taken outside by the soldiers. His mother was carried on a stretcher and placed on the ground.</p>
+<p>Next, the Israelis ran over his mother in a tank. She screamed.</p>
+<p>“When I saw the tank running over her, my mind shut down,” Muhannad said.</p>
+<p>“I was unable to do anything for her. She was killed.”</p>
+<p>Despite being hemmed in by tanks, Muhannad managed to escape. He hid in what remained of a destroyed house for hours.</p>
+<p>After the tanks withdrew, Muhannad went back to his mother so that he could say a final farewell.</p>
+<p>Some dogs were eating her flesh. He took up a metal rod and chased them away.</p>
+<p>Muhannad gave his mother a kiss on the forehead and covered her body with a blanket.</p>
+<p>Then he fled the area and went searching for his sisters.</p>
+<p>“I wish that I had been able to carry her on my back and take her for burial,” he said.</p>
+<p>“But I was physically exhausted. I was about to collapse from hunger, thirst and my leg injury.”</p>
+<p>Muhannad went to al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, seeking treatment. He found his sisters there.</p>
+<p>“We cried over the loss of our mom,” he said. “The sound of her screaming as the Israelis ran over her haunts me all day and all night.”</p>

+</div>
+The Trump administration&#8217;s top civil rights enforcer at the US Department of Education wanted students who did nothing but hold a noisy protest in support of Palestinian rights to be criminally prosecuted.</p>
+<p><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/kenneth-marcus">Kenneth Marcus</a> was captured on camera during a September 2016 meeting with an undercover reporter working on Al Jazeera&#8217;s <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/lobby-usa">explosive documentary</a> about the US Israel lobby.</p>
+<p>The documentary has never been broadcast due to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/national-security-cited-reason-al-jazeera-nixed-israel-lobby-film/24566">censorship by Qatar</a>, which funds Al Jazeera, following pressure from pro-Israel organizations.</p>
+<p>The above video obtained by The Electronic Intifada is the latest <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/lobby-usa">excerpt to leak</a> from the documentary. It shows Marcus speaking to the undercover reporter.</p>
+<p>At the time, Marcus was director of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, an Israel lobby group unaffiliated with Brandeis University. The Brandeis Center specializes in lawfare &#8211; the use of legal proceedings to harass and silence Israel&#8217;s critics.</p>
+<p>In that role, Marcus spearheaded the Israel lobby strategy of filing complaints to the Department of Education under <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/title-vi-civil-rights-act">Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act</a>, claiming that universities fail to protect Jewish students by not cracking down on Palestine solidarity activism.</p>
+<p>In June, Marcus was <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/trumps-civil-rights-enforcer-could-use-law-silence-students">confirmed</a> as the director of the Office for Civil Rights at the US Department of Education. This means he is now in charge of investigating alleged violations of the civil rights law.</p>
+<p>He has quickly fulfilled the worst fears of civil liberties defenders by <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/trump-administration-moves-curb-campus-criticism-israel">reopening a bogus complaint</a> against Rutgers University made by the Zionist Organization of America.</p>
+<p>That complaint was thrown out by the Office for Civil Rights in 2014 for lack of evidence.</p>
+<p>Marcus also informed the ZOA by letter that he has decided to enforce an official definition of anti-Semitism that conflates criticism of Israel and Zionism with anti-Jewish bigotry.</p>
+<p>The move, made without public discussion or congressional notice, could have a profoundly chilling effect on academic freedom and free speech.</p>
+<h2>Demonizing campus activists</h2>
+<p>In the leaked video that can be watched at the top of this page, Marcus explains his lobby group&#8217;s strategy, which he is now using his government position to implement.</p>
+<p>“Right now, the challenge is that there are people who say, ‘you know what, anti-Israel politics have nothing to do with anti-Semitism,’” Marcus states. “What you gotta show that they&#8217;re not the same, but they&#8217;re not entirely different either.”</p>
+<p>“The goal is to have the federal government establish a definition of anti-Semitism that is parallel to the State Department definition,” Marcus adds.</p>
+<p>The full documentary shows how Marcus’ organization aims to demonize campus groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) that support BDS &#8211; boycott, divestment and sanctions &#8211; to hold Israel accountable.</p>
+<p>“You have to show that they are racist hate groups, and that they are using intimidation to get funded, and to consistently portray them that way,” Marcus states.</p>
+<p>The so-called State Department definition of anti-Semitism was <a href="https://www.state.gov/s/rga/resources/267538.htm">originally adopted in 2010</a> and updated in early 2018.</p>
+<p>It is <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/5ad7b4d470a6ad81ab1bb20c/1524085976920/FAQ+on+Definition+of+Antisemitism+4.18.18+.pdf">substantially the same</a> as the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/ihra-definition-anti-semitism">IHRA definition of anti-Semitism</a> that Israel lobby groups <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/how-israels-bogus-definition-anti-semitism-shuts-down-free-speech/25471">pressured the UK&#8217;s Labour Party to adopt</a> as part of their campaign to oust leader Jeremy Corbyn and curtail expressions of support for Palestinian rights.</p>
+<p>The definition has been widely opposed for conflating criticism of Israel and Zionism, Israel&#8217;s state ideology, with anti-Jewish bigotry.</p>
+<p>Even the definition&#8217;s <a href="http://jkrfoundation.org/about/kenneth-s-stern/">lead author</a>, former American Jewish Committee executive Kenneth Stern, <a href="http://www.jewishjournal.com/opinion/article/should_a_major_university_system_have_a_particular_definition_of_anti_semit">strongly opposes</a> efforts to enshrine the definition in legislation or university rule books, or to use it for enforcement, arguing that this would <a href="http://jkrfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Stern-Letter-links-corrected.pdf">unconstitutionally</a> infringe on free speech.</p>
+<h2>Criminal prosecution</h2>
+<p>Not all the footage of Marcus obtained by Al Jazeera&#8217;s undercover reporter has been included in the censored documentary.</p>
+<p>A transcript of the full meeting seen by The Electronic Intifada shows that Marcus also spoke about a <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/why-are-university-heads-racing-slander-protesters/17061">May 2016 protest</a> at the University of California, Irvine.</p>
+<p>The UC Irvine protest sparked accusations that students from groups including Students for Justice in Palestine had harassed, threatened and intimidated attendees at a campus film screening and discussion featuring a panel of Israeli soldiers.</p>
+<p>The screening was co-sponsored by <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/students-supporting-israel">Students Supporting Israel</a>, a chapter of a campus organization <a href="https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/students-supporting-israel-a-milstein-family-foundation-partner-shares-its-story/">funded</a> by anti-Palestinian financier <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/adam-milstein">Adam Milstein</a>.</p>
+<p>Earlier leaked footage from the censored Al Jazeera documentary <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/censored-film-names-adam-milstein-canary-mission-funder/25356">published by The Electronic Intifada</a> names Milstein as the secret funder of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/canary-mission">Canary Mission</a>, the anonymous website that smears and harasses student activists, especially from Students for Justice in Palestine.</p>
+<p>But after a <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/charlotte-silver/uc-irvine-clears-students-pro-israel-groups-accusations">three-month investigation</a>, UC Irvine issued a <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/548748b1e4b083fc03ebf70e/t/57bcc2b3579fb3227fe1b030/1471988465936/SJP_August_18_2016_1.pdf">58-page report</a> concluding that the most troubling allegations against the Palestine solidarity activists were untrue.</p>
+<h2>False accusations</h2>
+<p>Pro-Israel groups had claimed falsely that the protesters had blocked the exits to the screening room and denied people entry.</p>
+<p>The investigation found that the doors were held shut from the inside, keeping out Students for Justice in Palestine members and at least one pro-Israel student.</p>
+<p>As The Electronic Intifada <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/charlotte-silver/uc-irvine-clears-students-pro-israel-groups-accusations">reported</a> at the time, the university investigation refuted claims made by Students Supporting Israel, the Orange County Hillel chapter, the Zionist Organization of America and Marcus’ Brandeis Center which tried to paint the protesters as threats to Jewish students on campus.</p>
+<p>One of the most serious allegations Marcus repeats in the Al Jazeera transcript is that “a Jewish pro-Israel student was chased across campus when they saw that she was one of the pro-Israel students, and had to hide in a kitchen until security could come.”</p>
+<p>But this lurid claim was also refuted by the university&#8217;s investigation. By her own account, that student had been denied access to the screening room because the door was being held shut from inside.</p>
+<p>The students who allegedly “chased” her were simply trying to find another way into the screening room, the investigation concluded. In their effort to do so they entered an adjacent room several minutes after the pro-Israel student did and “were not chasing” her, the report states.</p>
+<p>The only charge that the university substantiated was that the student protest had “more likely than not” generated so much noise as to disrupt the viewing of the film, a documentary about Israeli soldiers.</p>
+<p>Making noise is inherent to speech and protest. But administrators found the protesters in violation of one policy on student conduct: “Obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary procedures, or other university activities.”</p>
+<p>As a sanction, the university gave Students for Justice in Palestine a warning and an assignment to host an educational event.</p>
+<p>Marcus told the undercover reporter that this sanction was “not enough.”</p>
+<p>“I’d like to see the students prosecuted, but the DA [district attorney] has not been amenable,” Marcus said.</p>
+<p>“But we’ll keep pushing them so that if we don’t get these students prosecuted this time, we’ll get the DA at least sensitized to the issue and [they] should know that there will be pressure on them next time.”</p>
+<p>During the investigation, the Brandeis Center, the Zionist Organization of America and other pro-Israel groups wrote to UC Irvine administrators to find the protesters in violation of codes of conduct and to urge them to refer the incident to the Orange County District Attorney’s office for criminal prosecution.</p>
+<p>The Zionist Organization of America cited as precedent the 2011 <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/irvine-11-sentenced-community-service-no-jailtime-attorneys-prepare">convictions</a> of the Irvine 11 students for protesting a speech by Michael Oren when he was Israel&#8217;s ambassador in the United States. While the students could have faced prison time for disruption of a public meeting, they were sentenced to community service.</p>
+<p>But as noted, Marcus spoke to Al Jazeera&#8217;s undercover reporter in September 2016 &#8211; more than a month after the UC Irvine investigation debunked the serious accusations against Students for Justice in Palestine members over the film screening protest.</p>
+<p>Yet Marcus continued to advance false accusations and insist that students who did nothing more than hold a campus protest in support of Palestinian rights should face the full weight of the American criminal legal system.</p>
+<p>Students across the United States now face the perverse and dangerous situation where the most senior federal official entrusted with protecting their civil rights may use his position &#8211; in the interests of a foreign state &#8211; to press for their criminal prosecution merely for exercising their First Amendment rights.</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>The people of al-Nada Towers are still waiting for their homes to be rebuilt.</p>
+<p>In July 2014, Israel <a href="https://wtop.com/news/2014/08/subtle-voices-of-dissent-surface-in-war-torn-gaza/">attacked</a> these apartment blocks in the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahiya from both the air and the ground.</p>
+<p>More than five years later, numerous families who lost their homes during that assault are struggling to make ends meet.</p>
+<p>Following their displacement, the residents of al-Nada Towers received assistance to pay rent on temporary accommodation from UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees. Yet because of a funding crisis, these payments were halted during 2018.</p>
+<p>The crisis was triggered when Donald Trump, the US president, imposed major aid cuts on UNRWA. The cuts were a prelude to the US announcement that it would <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/trump-targets-sick-palestinians">cease funding</a> the agency completely.</p>
+<h2>“Nowhere to go”</h2>
+<p>Muhammad Abu Nahel is among the former residents of al-Nada Towers who have suffered due to Trump&#8217;s decisions.</p>
+<p>Abu Nahel was evicted from his temporary apartment late one evening in March this year.</p>
+<p>He had been unable to pay his landlord rent for nine months, running up almost $1,200 in arrears.</p>
+<p>“I had nowhere to go,” he said. “I was very stressed.”</p>
+<p>Before being evicted, Abu Nahel worked in a shop repairing punctured tires. His income was insufficient to meet his family&#8217;s needs.</p>
+<p>“Sometimes I didn&#8217;t have enough money for us to have a meal together at the weekend,” he said.</p>
+<p>Abu Nahel has managed to find accommodation in Tal al-Zaatar, another part of northern Gaza.</p>
+<p>UNRWA has employed him as a security guard in a Beit Lahiya school. His contract lasts for six months and he has not been told if it will be renewed after that period.</p>
+<p>He is paid $300 per month. “Sometimes I cannot afford the cost of the journey to work,” he said.</p>
+<p>Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesperson for UNRWA, said that the agency is “doing what we can” to assist people who used to live in al-Nada Towers.</p>
+<p>It has established a special program so that those affected by aid cuts are provided with employment.</p>
+<p>“UNRWA&#8217;s financial situation is critical at the moment,” said Abu Hasna. “It is not guaranteed that we will be able to continue the jobs program.”</p>
+<p>The agency has <a href="https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/press-releases/immense-support-renewal-unrwa-mandate-un-general-assembly">described</a> its deficit as the worst in its seven-decade history, stating that it needs nearly $167 million by the end of 2019.</p>
+<h2>“Desperate conditions”</h2>
+<p>Abd al-Hafeedh Abu Salem is also a former resident of al-Nada Towers. He now lives in his uncle&#8217;s home, having been evicted from an apartment earlier this year.</p>
+<p>He owed his landlord approximately $1,100 in rent.</p>
+<p>Abu Salem has three daughters attending university. As he has been unable to pay their tuition fees, he owes the colleges in which they are studying a total of around $1,400.</p>
+<p>He and his family live in an extension to his uncle&#8217;s home that is still under construction.</p>
+<p>As the walls of the extension have not been finished, Abu Salem has used tarpaulin to try and protect his family from the elements.</p>
+<p>“What have my children done wrong?” he said. “Why do they have to live in such desperate conditions?”</p>
+<p>Many who were attacked by Israel during its major 2014 offensive have not received any financial assistance for repairing their homes.</p>

+<p>Some of those who have not yet received aid have protested lately outside UNRWA&#8217;s headquarters in Gaza City.</p>
+<p>Samir al-Aloul lives near al-Safa mosque, which Israel <a href="https://pchrgaza.org/en/?p=1604">destroyed</a> in 2014. His home in al-Bureij refugee camp was damaged during the attack on the mosque.</p>
+<p>As a result, water continues to leak through his ceiling when it rains.</p>
+<p>“The roof was cracked and I still have not been able to repair it,” he said. “We are still waiting for compensation. We often hear that compensation will be paid but so far nothing has happened.”</p>

+<span class="field field-publisher">Pacific Press/SIPA USA</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>The COVID-19 pandemic has required students supporting the Palestinian struggle for justice to postpone many of their activities.</p>
+<p>In New York&#8217;s Columbia University, a student-led referendum on divesting from companies that profit off Israel&#8217;s human rights violations, originally slated for April, has been <a href="https://elections.cc-seas.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/final%20ccsc_cec%20referendum%20letter.pdf">delayed until the fall</a>.</p>
+<p>The vote is likely to be controversial, judging by the hostility which senior figures in the college have already displayed toward it.</p>
+<p>In March, Columbia&#8217;s President Lee Bollinger made headlines, particularly in the right-wing media, for his <a href="https://president.columbia.edu/news/president-bollinger-condemns-anti-semitism-statement-senate-plenary">statement</a> tying the planned referendum to anti-Semitism.</p>
+<p>Bollinger&#8217;s argument was convoluted.</p>
+<p>Although it did not directly accuse those supporting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement of anti-Semitism, it strongly suggested that very connection. Bollinger claimed that “when there is rising anti-Semitism in this country and around the world, even a single instance of it in any context is more alarming than it might otherwise be.”</p>
+<p>In doing so, he not only voiced his own disapproval of the referendum but effectively sided with one group of students &#8211; those who support Israel on campus &#8211; at the expense of another &#8211; Palestinians, Arabs and those in solidarity – presumably out of a fear of upsetting donors, graduates and, worse yet, the US government.</p>
+<p>Indeed, Columbia is the target of a <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/475980-columbia-university-student-first-to-file-anti-semitism-complaint">discrimination complaint</a> that a student filed with the US Department of Education days after President Donald Trump issued an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-combating-anti-semitism/">executive order</a> on combating anti-Semitism.</p>
+<p>Columbia’s <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/students-justice-palestine">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) is <a href="https://palestinelegal.org/news/2019/12/20/federal-complaint-filed-against-columbia-after-trump-gives-nod-to-target-political-speech-on-palestine">named explicitly</a> in that complaint &#8211; the first lawsuit the group has ever faced.</p>
+<p>SJP activists worry that more lawsuits could be filed against them in the future and some students now feel they are targets.</p>
+<p>Some schools have seen an uptick in activity by Canary Mission, an aggressive pro-Israel group.</p>
+<p>Canary Mission <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/11/22/israel-boycott-canary-mission-blacklist/">blacklists</a> pro-Palestine and pro-BDS students and faculty, publishing their social media comments out of context. By doing so, Canary Mission makes students vulnerable to scrutiny by universities, employers, and law enforcement, as well as to public harassment and death threats, not to mention being <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/lara-alqasem-undermining-palestinian-boycott-campaign">barred from traveling</a> to Palestine.</p>
+<p>New York University (NYU) has seen just such an uptick since the <a href="https://nyulocal.com/president-andrew-hamilton-absent-from-presidents-service-awards-b2dfbb22afe1">vitriol and controversy</a> surrounding the conferral of the President’s Service Award to NYU SJP in April 2019.</p>
+<p>NYU President Andrew Hamilton <a href="https://nyunews.com/news/2019/11/20/doe-investigates-nyu-antisemitism/">subsequently wrote</a> in <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> that had it been up to him, “SJP would not have received the award.”</p>
+<p>People are “more freaked out” from fears of “getting blacklisted,” a former active member of NYU SJP, who was blacklisted by Canary Mission and wanted to remain anonymous, said.</p>
+<p>“It’s a racist attempt to shut us up and it’s working,” he said.</p>
+<h2>Landscape of lobbyists</h2>
+<p>Many students are less inclined to engage in activism around Palestine, given concerns about employers not hiring them given their being listed on the Canary Mission website, he said.</p>
+<p>Students from Columbia SJP also noted how some formerly active members of SJP have suspended activity entirely out of fear it may prevent them finding jobs after graduation.</p>
+<p>“It feels a little bit scarier for us now,” Eve Glazier, a first-year student and active member of Columbia and Barnard’s <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jewish-voice-peace">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>, said.</p>
+<p>She pointed to how organizations supporting Zionism &#8211; Israel&#8217;s state ideology &#8211; now have official institutional backing with the Columbia lawsuit.</p>
+<p>“Zionists have this whole landscape of organizations and lobbyists that are not even affiliated with the university but are interested in what’s happening on this campus,” Glazier said. “That’s something that’s very concerning.”</p>
+<p>Naye Idriss, a member of Columbia SJP, spoke of how Trump’s executive order had emboldened many Zionist groups, “now that they have someone on the federal level on their side.”</p>
+<p>“What they are trying to do is pick specific targets and make an example of them to make engaging in any form of Palestinian activism look very costly,” Idriss said.</p>
+<p>None of the resistance to pro-Palestine, anti-occupation activism is new &#8211; something student activists are fully aware of.</p>
+<p>“The executive order is just following and codifying a trend that has existed for a very long time, weaponizing anti-Semitism to curb Palestinian activism,” Glazier said.</p>
+<p>Everyone’s “pissed off but unsurprised,” the NYU SJP member said. “Whatever it takes to get in the way of pro-Palestinian activism and organizing.”</p>
+<p>He recalled that the Department of Education <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/nyu-antisemitism-investigation-ongoing-following-several-incidents-607954">began investigating</a> NYU as prompted by the executive order, following a <a href="https://nyunews.com/news/2019/11/20/doe-investigates-nyu-antisemitism/">lawsuit filed by an NYU graduate</a> against the university for anti-Semitism. The complaint was made following SJP&#8217;s receipt of the Presidential Service Award.</p>
+<p>“It’s part of a new wave of suppression of Middle Eastern studies,” he said. He pointed to the controversy surrounding the NYU&#8217;s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/nyu-department-social-and-cultural-analysis-ends-official-relationship-tel-1413426">officially announcing</a> an academic boycott of NYU’s Tel Aviv campus.</p>
+<h2>False equivalence</h2>
+<p>What Trump and his administration have accomplished through the executive order, however, and what Columbia’s Bollinger horrifyingly advances, is a dangerous false equivalence between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.</p>
+<p>We all unequivocally denounce anti-Semitism &#8211; which is fundamentally different to anti-Zionism.</p>
+<p>Many of us &#8211; from all identities &#8211; oppose Zionism. We espouse anti-Zionism as an “anti-racist praxis” meant to oppose the racist hierarchy that Zionism historically created, as <a href="https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/zionism/">outlined</a> by Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive advocacy group fighting anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination.</p>
+<p>But that position falls foul of the US State Department’s <a href="https://www.state.gov/defining-anti-semitism/">definition of anti-Semitism</a>, which includes, “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination&#8230; by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” and “applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.”</p>
+<p>The State Department definition, on which the executive action was predicated, de facto criminalizes public criticism of the actions of the State of Israel, and actively disregards the reality on the ground for the past 72 years.</p>
+<p>“Any form of asking for Palestinian rights is seen as anti-Semitic,” Naye Idriss from Columbia SJP said. “They want to shut down any valid argument by painting all arguments against Israel as anti-Semitic.”</p>
+<p>Similar to the NYU, Columbia, and Brown administrations, Tufts University’s senior administration <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/boston-students-vilified-tackling-how-israel-trains-us-cops">issued a statement</a> on 24 April, condemning the conferral of an award from the Office of Campus Life to Tufts SJP for their organizing against collaboration between US and Israel police forces.</p>
+<p>Students there have pushed back, however. Julia Asfour, a junior at Tufts and member of SJP, said they worked with several groups on campus to voice their demands to the university. Groups outside Tufts have also backed the SJP activists.</p>
+<p>Having so many supporters, said Asfour, makes them “able to call out the administration for their hypocrisy.”</p>
+<h2>Small victories</h2>
+<p>Kenneth Stern, the man behind the definition that the federal government is now using to define anti-Semitism, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/12/opinion/will-campus-criticism-of-israel-violate-federal-law.html">warned in 2016</a> that the purpose of that definition was not to regulate speech on campuses around the issue. In December 2019, he <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/13/antisemitism-executive-order-trump-chilling-effect">branded Trump’s presidential order</a> “an attack on academic freedom and free speech” that “will harm not only pro-Palestinian advocates, but also Jewish students and faculty and the academy itself.”</p>
+<p>Eve Glazier, the student activist with Jewish Voice for Peace, argued that the Trump administration cares little about Jews and rather enables white nationalists, which is “very scary and harmful toward Jewish people.”</p>
+<p>As a result, she said, the motivation behind the executive order has little to do with combating anti-Semitism.</p>
+<p>“We know then the main purpose is to curb Palestinian activism and give Israel a continued path to perpetuate their injustices without opposition from Palestinians, Jews or anyone.”</p>
+<p>Still, there are victories. Brown University’s student body <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/students-vote-divest-brown-swarthmore">overwhelmingly voted</a> in favor of divestment from companies profiting off Israel’s human rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza in 2019. Predictably, right after the student vote, Brown’s President Christina Paxson sent out an email opposing divestment.</p>
+<p>Later in 2019, an advisory committee on investment policies at the university voted to <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/12/03/brown-university-committee-votes-favor-divesting-companies-complicit-human-rights">officially recommend</a> the university to divest.</p>
+<p>Earlier this year, Brown announced divestment from fossil fuels. But Ben Bienstock, an undergraduate student who has been actively involved with divestment since fall 2018 at the Ivy League university, remains unconvinced that this is auspicious news.</p>
+<p>“They want to be known as the green Ivy, not the pro-Palestine Ivy,” Bienstock said.</p>
+<p>But pro-Palestine activists continue organizing, often behind the scenes, maintaining a low profile when needed.</p>
+<p>Julia Asfour, the activist at Tufts, said the experience in her university showed the importance of building coalitions. Justice struggles are connecting, she said, and the reaction comes because they are advancing.</p>
+<p>Eve Glazier, the Jewish Voice for Peace campaigner, also remains undeterred, even excited. She pointed to the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2019/11/25/ccsc-passes-ballot-initiative-to-hold-israel-divestment-referendum/">approval</a> last year by the Columbia College Student Council to hold the divestment referendum, now delayed to the fall of 2020.</p>
+<p>“Our movement is succeeding and Palestinian solidarity organizing is showing up and being present,” Glazier said.</p>
+<p>“The reason why there is so much backlash and so much attempted suppression is because we’re succeeding.” So much so, she added, that “the president of the US feels the need to get involved.”</p>

href=\"https://elections.cc-seas.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/final%20ccsc_cec%20referendum%20letter.pdf\">delayed until the fall</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The vote is likely to be controversial, judging by the hostility which senior figures in the college have already displayed toward it.</p>\n\n<p>In March, Columbia&#8217;s President Lee Bollinger made headlines, particularly in the right-wing media, for his <a href=\"https://president.columbia.edu/news/president-bollinger-condemns-anti-semitism-statement-senate-plenary\">statement</a> tying the planned referendum to anti-Semitism.</p>\n\n<p>Bollinger&#8217;s argument was convoluted.</p>\n\n<p>Although it did not directly accuse those supporting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement of anti-Semitism, it strongly suggested that very connection. Bollinger claimed that “when there is rising anti-Semitism in this country and around the world, even a single instance of it in any context is more alarming than it might otherwise be.”</p>\n\n<p>In doing so, he not only voiced his own disapproval of the referendum but effectively sided with one group of students &#8211; those who support Israel on campus &#8211; at the expense of another &#8211; Palestinians, Arabs and those in solidarity – presumably out of a fear of upsetting donors, graduates and, worse yet, the US government.</p>\n\n<p>Indeed, Columbia is the target of a <a href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/475980-columbia-university-student-first-to-file-anti-semitism-complaint\">discrimination complaint</a> that a student filed with the US Department of Education days after President Donald Trump issued an <a href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-combating-anti-semitism/\">executive order</a> on combating anti-Semitism.</p>\n\n<p>Columbia’s <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/students-justice-palestine\">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) is <a href=\"https://palestinelegal.org/news/2019/12/20/federal-complaint-filed-against-columbia-after-trump-gives-nod-to-target-political-speech-on-palestine\">named explicitly</a> in that complaint &#8211; the first lawsuit the group has ever faced.</p>\n\n<p>SJP activists worry that more lawsuits could be filed against them in the future and some students now feel they are targets.</p>\n\n<p>Some schools have seen an uptick in activity by Canary Mission, an aggressive pro-Israel group.</p>\n\n<p>Canary Mission <a href=\"https://theintercept.com/2018/11/22/israel-boycott-canary-mission-blacklist/\">blacklists</a> pro-Palestine and pro-BDS students and faculty, publishing their social media comments out of context. By doing so, Canary Mission makes students vulnerable to scrutiny by universities, employers, and law enforcement, as well as to public harassment and death threats, not to mention being <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/lara-alqasem-undermining-palestinian-boycott-campaign\">barred from traveling</a> to Palestine.</p>\n\n<p>New York University (NYU) has seen just such an uptick since the <a href=\"https://nyulocal.com/president-andrew-hamilton-absent-from-presidents-service-awards-b2dfbb22afe1\">vitriol and controversy</a> surrounding the conferral of the President’s Service Award to NYU SJP in April 2019.</p>\n\n<p>NYU President Andrew Hamilton <a href=\"https://nyunews.com/news/2019/11/20/doe-investigates-nyu-antisemitism/\">subsequently wrote</a> in <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> that had it been up to him, “SJP would not have received the award.”</p>\n\n<p>People are “more freaked out” from fears of “getting blacklisted,” a former active member of NYU SJP, who was blacklisted by Canary Mission and wanted to remain anonymous, said.</p>\n\n<p>“It’s a racist attempt to shut us up and it’s working,” he said.</p>\n\n<h2>Landscape of lobbyists</h2>\n\n<p>Many students are less inclined to engage in activism around Palestine, given concerns about employers not hiring them given their being listed on the Canary Mission website, he said.</p>\n\n<p>Students from Columbia SJP also noted how some formerly active members of SJP have suspended activity entirely out of fear it may prevent them finding jobs after graduation.</p>\n\n<p>“It feels a little bit scarier for us now,” Eve Glazier, a first-year student and active member of Columbia and Barnard’s <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/jewish-voice-peace\">Jewish Voice for Peace</a>, said.</p>\n\n<p>She pointed to how organizations supporting Zionism &#8211; Israel&#8217;s state ideology &#8211; now have official institutional backing with the Columbia lawsuit.</p>\n\n<p>“Zionists have this whole landscape of organizations and lobbyists that are not even affiliated with the university but are interested in what’s happening on this campus,” Glazier said. “That’s something that’s very concerning.”</p>\n\n<p>Naye Idriss, a member of Columbia SJP, spoke of how Trump’s executive order had emboldened many Zionist groups, “now that they have someone on the federal level on their side.”</p>\n\n<p>“What they are trying to do is pick specific targets and make an example of them to make engaging in any form of Palestinian activism look very costly,” Idriss said.</p>\n\n<p>None of the resistance to pro-Palestine, anti-occupation activism is new &#8211; something student activists are fully aware of.</p>\n\n<p>“The executive order is just following and codifying a trend that has existed for a very long time, weaponizing anti-Semitism to curb Palestinian activism,” Glazier said.</p>\n\n<p>Everyone’s “pissed off but unsurprised,” the NYU SJP member said. “Whatever it takes to get in the way of pro-Palestinian activism and organizing.”</p>\n\n<p>He recalled that the Department of Education <a href=\"https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/nyu-antisemitism-investigation-ongoing-following-several-incidents-607954\">began investigating</a> NYU as prompted by the executive order, following a <a href=\"https://nyunews.com/news/2019/11/20/doe-investigates-nyu-antisemitism/\">lawsuit filed by an NYU graduate</a> against the university for anti-Semitism. The complaint was made following SJP&#8217;s receipt of the Presidential Service Award.</p>\n\n<p>“It’s part of a new wave of suppression of Middle Eastern studies,” he said. He pointed to the controversy surrounding the NYU&#8217;s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis <a href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/nyu-department-social-and-cultural-analysis-ends-official-relationship-tel-1413426\">officially announcing</a> an academic boycott of NYU’s Tel Aviv campus.</p>\n\n<h2>False equivalence</h2>\n\n<p>What Trump and his administration have accomplished through the executive order, however, and what Columbia’s Bollinger horrifyingly advances, is a dangerous false equivalence between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.</p>\n\n<p>We all unequivocally denounce anti-Semitism &#8211; which is fundamentally different to anti-Zionism.</p>\n\n<p>Many of us &#8211; from all identities &#8211; oppose Zionism. We espouse anti-Zionism as an “anti-racist praxis” meant to oppose the racist hierarchy that Zionism historically created, as <a href=\"https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/zionism/\">outlined</a> by Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive advocacy group fighting anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination.</p>\n\n<p>But that position falls foul of the US State Department’s <a href=\"https://www.state.gov/defining-anti-semitism/\">definition of anti-Semitism</a>, which includes, “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination&#8230; by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” and “applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.”</p>\n\n<p>The State Department definition, on which the executive action was predicated, de facto criminalizes public criticism of the actions of the State of Israel, and actively disregards the reality on the ground for the past 72 years.</p>\n\n<p>“Any form of asking for Palestinian rights is seen as anti-Semitic,” Naye Idriss from Columbia SJP said. “They want to shut down any valid argument by painting all arguments against Israel as anti-Semitic.”</p>\n\n<p>Similar to the NYU, Columbia, and Brown administrations, Tufts University’s senior administration <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/boston-students-vilified-tackling-how-israel-trains-us-cops\">issued a statement</a> on 24 April, condemning the conferral of an award from the Office of Campus Life to Tufts SJP for their organizing against collaboration between US and Israel police forces.</p>\n\n<p>Students there have pushed back, however. Julia Asfour, a junior at Tufts and member of SJP, said they worked with several groups on campus to voice their demands to the university. Groups outside Tufts have also backed the SJP activists.</p>\n\n<p>Having so many supporters, said Asfour, makes them “able to call out the administration for their hypocrisy.”</p>\n\n<h2>Small victories</h2>\n\n<p>Kenneth Stern, the man behind the definition that the federal government is now using to define anti-Semitism, <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/12/opinion/will-campus-criticism-of-israel-violate-federal-law.html\">warned in 2016</a> that the purpose of that definition was not to regulate speech on campuses around the issue. In December 2019, he <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/13/antisemitism-executive-order-trump-chilling-effect\">branded Trump’s presidential order</a> “an attack on academic freedom and free speech” that “will harm not only pro-Palestinian advocates, but also Jewish students and faculty and the academy itself.”</p>\n\n<p>Eve Glazier, the student activist with Jewish Voice for Peace, argued that the Trump administration cares little about Jews and rather enables white nationalists, which is “very scary and harmful toward Jewish people.”</p>\n\n<p>As a result, she said, the motivation behind the executive order has little to do with combating anti-Semitism.</p>\n\n<p>“We know then the main purpose is to curb Palestinian activism and give Israel a continued path to perpetuate their injustices without opposition from Palestinians, Jews or anyone.”</p>\n\n<p>Still, there are victories. Brown University’s student body <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/students-vote-divest-brown-swarthmore\">overwhelmingly voted</a> in favor of divestment from companies profiting off Israel’s human rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza in 2019. Predictably, right after the student vote, Brown’s President Christina Paxson sent out an email opposing divestment.</p>\n\n<p>Later in 2019, an advisory committee on investment policies at the university voted to <a href=\"https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/12/03/brown-university-committee-votes-favor-divesting-companies-complicit-human-rights\">officially recommend</a> the university to divest.</p>\n\n<p>Earlier this year, Brown announced divestment from fossil fuels. But Ben Bienstock, an undergraduate student who has been actively involved with divestment since fall 2018 at the Ivy League university, remains unconvinced that this is auspicious news.</p>\n\n<p>“They want to be known as the green Ivy, not the pro-Palestine Ivy,” Bienstock said.</p>\n\n<p>But pro-Palestine activists continue organizing, often behind the scenes, maintaining a low profile when needed.</p>\n\n<p>Julia Asfour, the activist at Tufts, said the experience in her university showed the importance of building coalitions. Justice struggles are connecting, she said, and the reaction comes because they are advancing.</p>\n\n<p>Eve Glazier, the Jewish Voice for Peace campaigner, also remains undeterred, even excited. She pointed to the <a href=\"https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2019/11/25/ccsc-passes-ballot-initiative-to-hold-israel-divestment-referendum/\">approval</a> last year by the Columbia College Student Council to hold the divestment referendum, now delayed to the fall of 2020.</p>\n\n<p>“Our movement is succeeding and Palestinian solidarity organizing is showing up and being present,” Glazier said.</p>\n\n<p>“The reason why there is so much backlash and so much attempted suppression is because we’re succeeding.” So much so, she added, that “the president of the US feels the need to get involved.”</p>\n\n<p><em>Ali Ibrahim is a Palestinian rights activist, journalist and graduate student at Columbia University.</em></p>\n\n<p><em>Sarah Sakha is a writer and graduate student at

+Pro-Palestinian activism on US campuses has come under sustained attack in recent months.
+Pacific Press/SIPA USAThe COVID-19 pandemic has required students supporting the Palestinian struggle for justice to postpone many of their activities.
+In New York’s Columbia University, a student-led referendum on divesting from companies that profit off Israel’s human rights violations, originally slated for April, has been delayed until the fall.
+The vote is likely to be controversial, judging by the hostility which senior figures in the college have already displayed toward it.
+In March, Columbia’s President Lee Bollinger made headlines, particularly in the right-wing media, for his statement tying the planned referendum to anti-Semitism.
+Bollinger’s argument was convoluted.
+Although it did not directly accuse those supporting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement of anti-Semitism, it strongly suggested that very connection. Bollinger claimed that “when there is rising anti-Semitism in this country and around the world, even a single instance of it in any context is more alarming than it might otherwise be.”
+In doing so, he not only voiced his own disapproval of the referendum but effectively sided with one group of students – those who support Israel on campus – at the expense of another – Palestinians, Arabs and those in solidarity – presumably out of a fear of upsetting donors, graduates and, worse yet, the US government.
+Indeed, Columbia is the target of a discrimination complaint that a student filed with the US Department of Education days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order on combating anti-Semitism.
+Columbia’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is named explicitly in that complaint – the first lawsuit the group has ever faced.
+SJP activists worry that more lawsuits could be filed against them in the future and some students now feel they are targets.
+Some schools have seen an uptick in activity by Canary Mission, an aggressive pro-Israel group.
+Canary Mission blacklists pro-Palestine and pro-BDS students and faculty, publishing their social media comments out of context. By doing so, Canary Mission makes students vulnerable to scrutiny by universities, employers, and law enforcement, as well as to public harassment and death threats, not to mention being barred from traveling to Palestine.
+New York University (NYU) has seen just such an uptick since the vitriol and controversy surrounding the conferral of the President’s Service Award to NYU SJP in April 2019.
+NYU President Andrew Hamilton subsequently wrote in The Wall Street Journal that had it been up to him, “SJP would not have received the award.”
+People are “more freaked out” from fears of “getting blacklisted,” a former active member of NYU SJP, who was blacklisted by Canary Mission and wanted to remain anonymous, said.
+“It’s a racist attempt to shut us up and it’s working,” he said.
+Landscape of lobbyists
+Many students are less inclined to engage in activism around Palestine, given concerns about employers not hiring them given their being listed on the Canary Mission website, he said.
+Students from Columbia SJP also noted how some formerly active members of SJP have suspended activity entirely out of fear it may prevent them finding jobs after graduation.
+“It feels a little bit scarier for us now,” Eve Glazier, a first-year student and active member of Columbia and Barnard’s Jewish Voice for Peace, said.
+She pointed to how organizations supporting Zionism – Israel’s state ideology – now have official institutional backing with the Columbia lawsuit.
+“Zionists have this whole landscape of organizations and lobbyists that are not even affiliated with the university but are interested in what’s happening on this campus,” Glazier said. “That’s something that’s very concerning.”
+Naye Idriss, a member of Columbia SJP, spoke of how Trump’s executive order had emboldened many Zionist groups, “now that they have someone on the federal level on their side.”
+“What they are trying to do is pick specific targets and make an example of them to make engaging in any form of Palestinian activism look very costly,” Idriss said.
+None of the resistance to pro-Palestine, anti-occupation activism is new – something student activists are fully aware of.
+“The executive order is just following and codifying a trend that has existed for a very long time, weaponizing anti-Semitism to curb Palestinian activism,” Glazier said.
+Everyone’s “pissed off but unsurprised,” the NYU SJP member said. “Whatever it takes to get in the way of pro-Palestinian activism and organizing.”
+He recalled that the Department of Education began investigating NYU as prompted by the executive order, following a lawsuit filed by an NYU graduate against the university for anti-Semitism. The complaint was made following SJP’s receipt of the Presidential Service Award.
+“It’s part of a new wave of suppression of Middle Eastern studies,” he said. He pointed to the controversy surrounding the NYU’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis officially announcing an academic boycott of NYU’s Tel Aviv campus.
+False equivalence
+What Trump and his administration have accomplished through the executive order, however, and what Columbia’s Bollinger horrifyingly advances, is a dangerous false equivalence between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
+We all unequivocally denounce anti-Semitism – which is fundamentally different to anti-Zionism.
+Many of us – from all identities – oppose Zionism. We espouse anti-Zionism as an “anti-racist praxis” meant to oppose the racist hierarchy that Zionism historically created, as outlined by Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive advocacy group fighting anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination.
+But that position falls foul of the US State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism, which includes, “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination… by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” and “applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.”
+The State Department definition, on which the executive action was predicated, de facto criminalizes public criticism of the actions of the State of Israel, and actively disregards the reality on the ground for the past 72 years.
+“Any form of asking for Palestinian rights is seen as anti-Semitic,” Naye Idriss from Columbia SJP said. “They want to shut down any valid argument by painting all arguments against Israel as anti-Semitic.”
+Similar to the NYU, Columbia, and Brown administrations, Tufts University’s senior administration issued a statement on 24 April, condemning the conferral of an award from the Office of Campus Life to Tufts SJP for their organizing against collaboration between US and Israel police forces.
+Students there have pushed back, however. Julia Asfour, a junior at Tufts and member of SJP, said they worked with several groups on campus to voice their demands to the university. Groups outside Tufts have also backed the SJP activists.
+Having so many supporters, said Asfour, makes them “able to call out the administration for their hypocrisy.”
+Small victories
+Kenneth Stern, the man behind the definition that the federal government is now using to define anti-Semitism, warned in 2016 that the purpose of that definition was not to regulate speech on campuses around the issue. In December 2019, he branded Trump’s presidential order “an attack on academic freedom and free speech” that “will harm not only pro-Palestinian advocates, but also Jewish students and faculty and the academy itself.”
+Eve Glazier, the student activist with Jewish Voice for Peace, argued that the Trump administration cares little about Jews and rather enables white nationalists, which is “very scary and harmful toward Jewish people.”
+As a result, she said, the motivation behind the executive order has little to do with combating anti-Semitism.
+“We know then the main purpose is to curb Palestinian activism and give Israel a continued path to perpetuate their injustices without opposition from Palestinians, Jews or anyone.”
+Still, there are victories. Brown University’s student body overwhelmingly voted in favor of divestment from companies profiting off Israel’s human rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza in 2019. Predictably, right after the student vote, Brown’s President Christina Paxson sent out an email opposing divestment.
+Later in 2019, an advisory committee on investment policies at the university voted to officially recommend the university to divest.
+Earlier this year, Brown announced divestment from fossil fuels. But Ben Bienstock, an undergraduate student who has been actively involved with divestment since fall 2018 at the Ivy League university, remains unconvinced that this is auspicious news.
+“They want to be known as the green Ivy, not the pro-Palestine Ivy,” Bienstock said.
+But pro-Palestine activists continue organizing, often behind the scenes, maintaining a low profile when needed.
+Julia Asfour, the activist at Tufts, said the experience in her university showed the importance of building coalitions. Justice struggles are connecting, she said, and the reaction comes because they are advancing.
+Eve Glazier, the Jewish Voice for Peace campaigner, also remains undeterred, even excited. She pointed to the approval last year by the Columbia College Student Council to hold the divestment referendum, now delayed to the fall of 2020.
+“Our movement is succeeding and Palestinian solidarity organizing is showing up and being present,” Glazier said.
+“The reason why there is so much backlash and so much attempted suppression is because we’re succeeding.” So much so, she added, that “the president of the US feels the need to get involved.”
+Ali Ibrahim is a Palestinian rights activist, journalist and graduate student at Columbia University.
+Sarah Sakha is a writer and graduate student at Columbia University, and leads the Palestine Working Group at the School of International and Public Affairs.
+Editor’s note: A previous version of this article incorrectly referred to Trump’s executive order as the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.” It has been corrected.

+<p>It was a few weeks after the Evian Conference, called to resolve the terrible problem of Jewish refugees from the German Reich in July 1938. Hitler <a href="https://www.jta.org/archive/hitler-man-with-a-holy-mission-explains-jewish-stand-to-ridder">taunted</a> the leaders of the West, and especially of the US, who refused to take any refugees.</p>
+<p>“I ask them, I say, are you prepared to harbor among you those who have poisoned the wells of Germany, of the whole Christian world? Gladly would we give each and every one of them a railroad pass and a thousand-mark note for pocket money to be rid of them.”</p>
+<p>In many ways, Trump out-Hitlered Hitler in his press conference with Netanyahu last Wednesday. Like Hitler before him, he has attacked the most-maligned group on earth, which now happens to be the Palestinian people.</p>
+<p>Instead of rebuilding Gaza for the traumatised and homeless survivors of US munitions delivered by a state falsely calling itself “Jewish,” Trump intends to “take over Gaza” and rebuild it as the “<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trumps-gaza-israel-plans-riviera-rcna190748">Riviera of the Middle East</a>”, echoing Netanyahu’s <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/5/what-was-netanyahus-map-and-plan-for-gaza-all-about">plan of last year</a>. To do that, he intends to force some Arab countries to take in the surviving Palestinians, and remove them from their homeland.</p>
+<p>The deal of the century, indeed.</p>
+<h2>War on law</h2>
+<p>In a <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/9/9/the-people-of-gaza-belong-in-palestine-not-canada-or-drc">recent article</a> co-written with Ramzi Nasir, we have proposed that while the Palestinians rebuild Gaza so that its people have somewhere to live, they should be housed in Israel. After all, this is where most of them came from, when it was still called Palestine, and this is the state that destroyed Gaza and should bear a burden for its reconstruction.</p>
+<p>But the American emperor has better ideas, ideas that could also, incidentally, <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/donald-trump-gaza-israel-trump-tower-in-palestine-inside-the-shocking-gaza-riviera-proposal-7656519">help his son-in-law</a> make a lot of money.</p>
+<p>The emperor has decided that he has the power to oppose not just the people of Gaza – the most wronged population on earth, harmed with the products of American capitalism in the hands of genocidal Israel – but <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/06/trump-gaza-israel-netanyahu-palestinians-egypt-jordan-saudi-arabia/">all the people</a> of Palestine, whose rights he denies, in order to turn their land into a Zionist stronghold of America.</p>
+<p>Buying into the colonial agenda of Netanyahu, Trump has declared war not just on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, but on the rest of the world, on the UN and on the very concept and <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9w5q8qn59yo">practice of international law</a> and legality itself.</p>
+<p>The most powerful empire in the world’s history, in other words, has declared war on Palestinians and Palestine, a people and a land that have been targeted for over a century, not just by Israel and the US, but by the whole West.</p>
+<p>This is not just a brutal act of defying law and justice – it is an act of defying humanity and history, of defying hope for a better world in which naked power should not enslave whole countries or ethnically cleanse millions at will and use genocide to threaten the rest into bending before its power.</p>
+<h2>Against the rest</h2>
+<p>The United States is not rising from the ashes to be great again; it is using one of the weakest communities on earth to demonstrate that its <a href="https://hbr.org/1992/07/is-america-in-decline">declining power</a> is still able to hurt and punish those who dare to wish for freedom and human rights.</p>
+<p>It declares the rule of the West against the rest.</p>
+<p>Palestine, like South Africa <a href="https://newlinesmag.com/argument/south-africas-stance-on-palestine-opens-questions-about-apartheid-and-history/">before it</a>, is a symbol of justice denied, of rights negated, of hopes crushed. By targeting the people of Gaza, Trump is denying not just law, justice and common humanity, but the ideas and ideals that led to America’s constitutional democracy.</p>
+<p>Let us never forget, however, that the rise of the US was the result of one of the most terrifying genocides in history – a continent-wide destruction of the indigenous people of North America – as well as the enslavement of people brought from another continent, Africa.</p>
+<p>The latest act of aggression by Trump is a cruel throwback.</p>
+<p>Today’s genocide, made possible by the funding, arms and <a href="https://www.newarab.com/opinion/under-trump-20-us-imperial-axis-swaps-genocide-fascism">active support</a> of the declining West, especially the US and EU, is intended as an object lesson for the rest of humanity: You either follow orders, or you perish horribly.</p>
+<p>This is a huge challenge to humanity and its future. It cannot be ignored. The coming together of the richest man in the world and the Zionized tyrant of capitalist hubris is a call for action that must be heeded. Islamophobia <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/article/2024/may/23/islamophobia-us-palestine-history">is being used</a> to attack Palestine as a symbol of struggle for Arabs and Muslims. But this will not end with Palestine, or Panama, or Greenland or Canada and Mexico. This is a global threat to all of us.</p>
+<p>Trump has now tossed a glove into the international arena. Humanity must rise to meet that challenge, and must unite against the tyranny of raw power. If this <a href="https://civilrights.org/blog/chaos-confusion-abuse-of-power-trumps-first-week-back-in-office/">challenge to our humanity</a>, values and fragile system of international law and principles of justice is ignored, we shall all end up as serfs to the declining power – and the declining rationality – of the West.</p>
+<h2>Front and center</h2>
+<p>Jews must be <a href="https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2024-10-28/5-reasons-jewish-voters-should-reject-donald-trump">front and center</a>. Our long history tells us clearly that avoiding or ignoring such deluded tyrants exacts a terrible price, paid by whole continents. We cannot afford to be silent at such a testing time when Israel is acting in our name. We must step forward and join the rest of humanity in the quest for justice.</p>
+<p>Trump’s solution is more crime. The real solution is very different – getting rid of the Zionist colonial project, and establishing a free democracy in Palestine where the <em>Awda</em> – the return of refugees – can happen with justice and equality from the river to the sea.</p>
+<p>Those Israeli Jews refusing to live in <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/how-engage-israelis-who-dont-fully-support-palestinian-rights/50306">equality</a>, peace and justice with the Palestinians, should be invited by Trump to live with racists like them in the US. They have no place in Palestine.</p>
+<p>Instead of being expelled, the people of Gaza should be welcomed back to their land, crossing into Israel as free citizens of the future Republic of Palestine, while Gaza is rebuilt by Palestinians for Palestinians.</p>
+<p>This will require the UN to correct its terrible mistake in 1947, which cleared the way for the Nakba and destroyed Palestine. It will require the suspension of Israel from the General Assembly, as was done to Apartheid South Africa in 1974.</p>
+<p>If this was right in 1974 in the case of South Africa, it is a thousand times more justified in the case of Palestine – under unlawful occupation, and suffering an apartheid form of rule along with ethnic cleansing and genocide. It will require other actions, such as a UN protection force to guarantee the lives of Palestinians in the transitional period.</p>
+<p>None of us are free until Palestine is free, as <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/30/desmond-tutu-palestinians-israel">we were told</a> by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President Nelson Mandela.</p>
+<p>Never before has the wisdom of their words been as clear as it is today.</p>

2025. </p><small class=\"credit\">\n<span class=\"field field-author\">Aaron Schwartz</span>\n<span class=\"field field-publisher\">CNP/Polaris</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Listening to US President Donald Trump’s insane mumblings about <a href=\"https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-trump-at-press-conference-with-netanyahu-says-us-will-take-over-gaza/\">expelling all Palestinians</a> from Gaza to Egypt, Jordan or anywhere else – repeated <a href=\"https://news.sky.com/story/trump-doubles-down-on-plans-to-take-gaza-as-he-meets-jordans-king-abdullah-13307476\">yet again</a> on 11 February when meeting Jordan’s King Abdullah – I was reminded of Adolf Hitler&#8217;s <a href=\"https://ghdi.ghi-dc.org/sub_document.cfm?document_id=2289\">infamous speech</a> at the Reichstag on 30 January, 1939.</p>\n\n<p>It was a few weeks after the Evian Conference, called to resolve the terrible problem of Jewish refugees from the German Reich in July 1938. Hitler <a href=\"https://www.jta.org/archive/hitler-man-with-a-holy-mission-explains-jewish-stand-to-ridder\">taunted</a> the leaders of the West, and especially of the US, who refused to take any refugees.</p>\n\n<p>“I ask them, I say, are you prepared to harbor among you those who have poisoned the wells of Germany, of the whole Christian world? Gladly would we give each and every one of them a railroad pass and a thousand-mark note for pocket money to be rid of them.”</p>\n\n<p>In many ways, Trump out-Hitlered Hitler in his press conference with Netanyahu last Wednesday. Like Hitler before him, he has attacked the most-maligned group on earth, which now happens to be the Palestinian people.</p>\n\n<p>Instead of rebuilding Gaza for the traumatised and homeless survivors of US munitions delivered by a state falsely calling itself “Jewish,” Trump intends to “take over Gaza” and rebuild it as the “<a href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trumps-gaza-israel-plans-riviera-rcna190748\">Riviera of the Middle East</a>”, echoing Netanyahu’s <a href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/5/what-was-netanyahus-map-and-plan-for-gaza-all-about\">plan of last year</a>. To do that, he intends to force some Arab countries to take in the surviving Palestinians, and remove them from their homeland.</p>\n\n<p>The deal of the century, indeed.</p>\n\n<h2>War on law</h2>\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/9/9/the-people-of-gaza-belong-in-palestine-not-canada-or-drc\">recent article</a> co-written with Ramzi Nasir, we have proposed that while the Palestinians rebuild Gaza so that its people have somewhere to live, they should be housed in Israel. After all, this is where most of them came from, when it was still called Palestine, and this is the state that destroyed Gaza and should bear a burden for its reconstruction.</p>\n\n<p>But the American emperor has better ideas, ideas that could also, incidentally, <a href=\"https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/donald-trump-gaza-israel-trump-tower-in-palestine-inside-the-shocking-gaza-riviera-proposal-7656519\">help his son-in-law</a> make a lot of money.</p>\n\n<p>The emperor has decided that he has the power to oppose not just the people of Gaza – the most wronged population on earth, harmed with the products of American capitalism in the hands of genocidal Israel – but <a href=\"https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/06/trump-gaza-israel-netanyahu-palestinians-egypt-jordan-saudi-arabia/\">all the people</a> of Palestine, whose rights he denies, in order to turn their land into a Zionist stronghold of America.</p>\n\n<p>Buying into the colonial agenda of Netanyahu, Trump has declared war not just on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, but on the rest of the world, on the UN and on the very concept and <a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9w5q8qn59yo\">practice of international law</a> and legality itself.</p>\n\n<p>The most powerful empire in the world’s history, in other words, has declared war on Palestinians and Palestine, a people and a land that have been targeted for over a century, not just by Israel and the US, but by the whole West.</p>\n\n<p>This is not just a brutal act of defying law and justice – it is an act of defying humanity and history, of defying hope for a better world in which naked power should not enslave whole countries or ethnically cleanse millions at will and use genocide to threaten the rest into bending before its power.</p>\n\n<h2>Against the rest</h2>\n\n<p>The United States is not rising from the ashes to be great again; it is using one of the weakest communities on earth to demonstrate that its <a href=\"https://hbr.org/1992/07/is-america-in-decline\">declining power</a> is still able to hurt and punish those who dare to wish for freedom and human rights.</p>\n\n<p>It declares the rule of the West against the rest.</p>\n\n<p>Palestine, like South Africa <a href=\"https://newlinesmag.com/argument/south-africas-stance-on-palestine-opens-questions-about-apartheid-and-history/\">before it</a>, is a symbol of justice denied, of rights negated, of hopes crushed. By targeting the people of Gaza, Trump is denying not just law, justice and common humanity, but the ideas and ideals that led to America’s constitutional democracy.</p>\n\n<p>Let us never forget, however, that the rise of the US was the result of one of the most terrifying genocides in history – a continent-wide destruction of the indigenous people of North America – as well as the enslavement of people brought from another continent, Africa.</p>\n\n<p>The latest act of aggression by Trump is a cruel throwback.</p>\n\n<p>Today’s genocide, made possible by the funding, arms and <a href=\"https://www.newarab.com/opinion/under-trump-20-us-imperial-axis-swaps-genocide-fascism\">active support</a> of the declining West, especially the US and EU, is intended as an object lesson for the rest of humanity: You either follow orders, or you perish horribly.</p>\n\n<p>This is a huge challenge to humanity and its future. It cannot be ignored. The coming together of the richest man in the world and the Zionized tyrant of capitalist hubris is a call for action that must be heeded. Islamophobia <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/news/article/2024/may/23/islamophobia-us-palestine-history\">is being used</a> to attack Palestine as a symbol of struggle for Arabs and Muslims. But this will not end with Palestine, or Panama, or Greenland or Canada and Mexico. This is a global threat to all of us.</p>\n\n<p>Trump has now tossed a glove into the international arena. Humanity must rise to meet that challenge, and must unite against the tyranny of raw power. If this <a href=\"https://civilrights.org/blog/chaos-confusion-abuse-of-power-trumps-first-week-back-in-office/\">challenge to our humanity</a>, values and fragile system of international law and principles of justice is ignored, we shall all end up as serfs to the declining power – and the declining rationality – of the West.</p>\n\n<h2>Front and center</h2>\n\n<p>Jews must be <a href=\"https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2024-10-28/5-reasons-jewish-voters-should-reject-donald-trump\">front and center</a>. Our long history tells us clearly that avoiding or ignoring such deluded tyrants exacts a terrible price, paid by whole continents. We cannot afford to be silent at such a testing time when Israel is acting in our name. We must step forward and join the rest of humanity in the quest for justice.</p>\n\n<p>Trump’s solution is more crime. The real solution is very different – getting rid of the Zionist colonial project, and establishing a free democracy in Palestine where the <em>Awda</em> – the return of refugees – can happen with justice and equality from the river to the sea.</p>\n\n<p>Those Israeli Jews refusing to live in <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/how-engage-israelis-who-dont-fully-support-palestinian-rights/50306\">equality</a>, peace and justice with the Palestinians, should be invited by Trump to live with racists like them in the US. They have no place in Palestine.</p>\n\n<p>Instead of being expelled, the people of Gaza should be welcomed back to their land, crossing into Israel as free citizens of the future Republic of Palestine, while Gaza is rebuilt by Palestinians for Palestinians.</p>\n\n<p>This will require the UN to correct its terrible mistake in 1947, which cleared the way for the Nakba and destroyed Palestine. It will require the suspension of Israel from the General Assembly, as was done to Apartheid South Africa in 1974.</p>\n\n<p>If this was right in 1974 in the case of South Africa, it is a thousand times more justified in the case of Palestine – under unlawful occupation, and suffering an apartheid form of rule along with ethnic cleansing and genocide. It will require other actions, such as a UN protection force to guarantee the lives of Palestinians in the transitional period.</p>\n\n<p>None of us are free until Palestine is free, as <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/30/desmond-tutu-palestinians-israel\">we were told</a> by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President Nelson Mandela.</p>\n\n<p>Never before has the wisdom of their words been as clear as it is today.</p>\n\n<p><em>Prof. Haim Bresheeth-Zabner is a Professorial Research Associate at SOAS.

+US president Donald Trump gestures after meeting Jordan’s King Abdullah on 11 February 2025.
+CNP/PolarisListening to US President Donald Trump’s insane mumblings about expelling all Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt, Jordan or anywhere else – repeated yet again on 11 February when meeting Jordan’s King Abdullah – I was reminded of Adolf Hitler’s infamous speech at the Reichstag on 30 January, 1939.
+It was a few weeks after the Evian Conference, called to resolve the terrible problem of Jewish refugees from the German Reich in July 1938. Hitler taunted the leaders of the West, and especially of the US, who refused to take any refugees.
+“I ask them, I say, are you prepared to harbor among you those who have poisoned the wells of Germany, of the whole Christian world? Gladly would we give each and every one of them a railroad pass and a thousand-mark note for pocket money to be rid of them.”
+In many ways, Trump out-Hitlered Hitler in his press conference with Netanyahu last Wednesday. Like Hitler before him, he has attacked the most-maligned group on earth, which now happens to be the Palestinian people.
+Instead of rebuilding Gaza for the traumatised and homeless survivors of US munitions delivered by a state falsely calling itself “Jewish,” Trump intends to “take over Gaza” and rebuild it as the “Riviera of the Middle East”, echoing Netanyahu’s plan of last year. To do that, he intends to force some Arab countries to take in the surviving Palestinians, and remove them from their homeland.
+The deal of the century, indeed.
+War on law
+In a recent article co-written with Ramzi Nasir, we have proposed that while the Palestinians rebuild Gaza so that its people have somewhere to live, they should be housed in Israel. After all, this is where most of them came from, when it was still called Palestine, and this is the state that destroyed Gaza and should bear a burden for its reconstruction.
+But the American emperor has better ideas, ideas that could also, incidentally, help his son-in-law make a lot of money.
+The emperor has decided that he has the power to oppose not just the people of Gaza – the most wronged population on earth, harmed with the products of American capitalism in the hands of genocidal Israel – but all the people of Palestine, whose rights he denies, in order to turn their land into a Zionist stronghold of America.
+Buying into the colonial agenda of Netanyahu, Trump has declared war not just on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, but on the rest of the world, on the UN and on the very concept and practice of international law and legality itself.
+The most powerful empire in the world’s history, in other words, has declared war on Palestinians and Palestine, a people and a land that have been targeted for over a century, not just by Israel and the US, but by the whole West.
+This is not just a brutal act of defying law and justice – it is an act of defying humanity and history, of defying hope for a better world in which naked power should not enslave whole countries or ethnically cleanse millions at will and use genocide to threaten the rest into bending before its power.
+Against the rest
+The United States is not rising from the ashes to be great again; it is using one of the weakest communities on earth to demonstrate that its declining power is still able to hurt and punish those who dare to wish for freedom and human rights.
+It declares the rule of the West against the rest.
+Palestine, like South Africa before it, is a symbol of justice denied, of rights negated, of hopes crushed. By targeting the people of Gaza, Trump is denying not just law, justice and common humanity, but the ideas and ideals that led to America’s constitutional democracy.
+Let us never forget, however, that the rise of the US was the result of one of the most terrifying genocides in history – a continent-wide destruction of the indigenous people of North America – as well as the enslavement of people brought from another continent, Africa.
+The latest act of aggression by Trump is a cruel throwback.
+Today’s genocide, made possible by the funding, arms and active support of the declining West, especially the US and EU, is intended as an object lesson for the rest of humanity: You either follow orders, or you perish horribly.
+This is a huge challenge to humanity and its future. It cannot be ignored. The coming together of the richest man in the world and the Zionized tyrant of capitalist hubris is a call for action that must be heeded. Islamophobia is being used to attack Palestine as a symbol of struggle for Arabs and Muslims. But this will not end with Palestine, or Panama, or Greenland or Canada and Mexico. This is a global threat to all of us.
+Trump has now tossed a glove into the international arena. Humanity must rise to meet that challenge, and must unite against the tyranny of raw power. If this challenge to our humanity, values and fragile system of international law and principles of justice is ignored, we shall all end up as serfs to the declining power – and the declining rationality – of the West.
+Front and center
+Jews must be front and center. Our long history tells us clearly that avoiding or ignoring such deluded tyrants exacts a terrible price, paid by whole continents. We cannot afford to be silent at such a testing time when Israel is acting in our name. We must step forward and join the rest of humanity in the quest for justice.
+Trump’s solution is more crime. The real solution is very different – getting rid of the Zionist colonial project, and establishing a free democracy in Palestine where the Awda – the return of refugees – can happen with justice and equality from the river to the sea.
+Those Israeli Jews refusing to live in equality, peace and justice with the Palestinians, should be invited by Trump to live with racists like them in the US. They have no place in Palestine.
+Instead of being expelled, the people of Gaza should be welcomed back to their land, crossing into Israel as free citizens of the future Republic of Palestine, while Gaza is rebuilt by Palestinians for Palestinians.
+This will require the UN to correct its terrible mistake in 1947, which cleared the way for the Nakba and destroyed Palestine. It will require the suspension of Israel from the General Assembly, as was done to Apartheid South Africa in 1974.
+If this was right in 1974 in the case of South Africa, it is a thousand times more justified in the case of Palestine – under unlawful occupation, and suffering an apartheid form of rule along with ethnic cleansing and genocide. It will require other actions, such as a UN protection force to guarantee the lives of Palestinians in the transitional period.
+None of us are free until Palestine is free, as we were told by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President Nelson Mandela.
+Never before has the wisdom of their words been as clear as it is today.
+Prof. Haim Bresheeth-Zabner is a Professorial Research Associate at SOAS. His most recent book is An Army Like No Other: How the IDF Made a Nation.

+<span class="field field-author">James Hamilton</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>The long-awaited “Middle East peace plan,” <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/omar-karmi/trumps-win-win-plan-hands-everything-israel">unveiled</a> in January by the US administration, has been widely panned for effectively <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/trump-peace-deal-israels-apartheid-blueprint">approving</a> Israel’s annexation of vast swaths of occupied territory and extinguishing the hope that Palestinians would form a viable state of their own on a significant portion of their historic homeland.</p>
+<p>But there is another reason that Donald Trump’s plan should be of cause for concern.</p>
+<p>Its proposal to permit Jews to pray at the premier Islamic holy site in Jerusalem is so biased in Israel’s favor that it fulfills the decades-old demands of one of the country’s most extreme political figures: Baruch Ben Yosef, a top suspect in the 1985 murder of Palestinian American civil rights leader <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/alex-odeh">Alex Odeh</a> and a former right-hand man of the arch-racist Rabbi <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/meir-kahane">Meir Kahane</a>.</p>
+<p>In an article published by <em>The Intercept</em> in February, this writer <a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/02/06/alex-odeh-bombing-israel/">revealed</a> that Ben Yosef, who grew up in New York City as Andy Green, is one of the FBI’s top suspects in a string of bombings that maimed and murdered US citizens on both coasts of the US in 1985.</p>
+<p>According to numerous active and retired law enforcement agents who have worked on the cases, Ben Yosef and two other followers of Kahane &#8211; <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/keith-fuchs">Keith Israel Fuchs</a> and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/robert-manning">Robert Manning</a> &#8211; are suspected of assassinating Odeh on 11 October 1985, by planting a bomb at the offices of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Santa Ana, California, where Odeh served as the organization’s West Coast regional director.</p>
+<p>Ben Yosef returned to Israel the following year, and since the early 1990s has spearheaded efforts to secure Jewish prayer rights in the al-Aqsa mosque compound, home of the al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, and another iconic shrine, the golden-capped Dome of the Rock.</p>
+<p>Muslims refer to the compound as al-Haram al-Sharif, and Jews refer to it as the Temple Mount, after the Jewish temples that stood on that same spot in ancient times.</p>
+<p>But after Roman forces destroyed the last Jewish temple almost 2,000 years ago, the plaza remained vacant for 600 years. Only then did Muslims build at that same location the Dome of the Rock, instantly recognizable today as the crown jewel of the Jerusalem skyline.</p>
+<p>The adjacent al-Aqsa mosque was added to the site more than a decade later. Today, the two structures and the 36-acre courtyard they sit on are considered a site of national importance for Palestinians of all faiths.</p>
+<p>After it occupied the al-Aqsa mosque compound in 1967 &#8211; along with the rest of East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula &#8211; Israel raised its flag atop the Dome of the Rock. Shlomo Goren, then the Israeli military&#8217;s chief rabbi, established a Jewish house of learning on the premises.</p>
+<p>Within months, however, Israel removed the religious academy and other signs of its sovereignty.</p>
+<p>For the last five decades, the premises have been presided over by the Islamic Waqf, a body sanctioned by neighboring Jordan, which controlled the territory from 1948 to 1967 and remains responsible for Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.</p>
+<p>Despite nominal Jordanian custodianship of the site, Israel maintains full control. It regularly <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/israel-uses-eid-push-forward-al-aqsa-takeover">raids</a> the compound, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/israel-intent-shutting-jerusalem-holy-site">bars</a> Palestinians from worshipping at holy sites and habitually <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israel-turns-bus-torture-chamber/21931">arrests</a> them.</p>
+<p>Trump’s plan to permit Jews to pray on the al-Aqsa mosque compound would upend the precarious status quo that has uneasily prevailed there for decades.</p>
+<p>“People of every faith should be permitted to pray on the Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif, in a manner that is fully respectful to their religion, taking into account the times of each religion’s prayers and holidays, as well as other religious factors,” the plan states.</p>
+<p>If Trump’s proposal came into effect, it would reward some of the most reactionary forces in Israel, who see securing prayer rights at the site as a necessary first step towards eventually expelling Palestinians from the site altogether, demolishing its Muslim shrines and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/temple-movement">building</a> a new Jewish temple over its ruins.</p>
+<h2>Plot to blow up Dome of the Rock</h2>
+<p>Although traditional Jews believe that a Jewish temple will one day be re-erected at the compound and continue to pine for that outcome in their daily prayers, most religious authorities have ruled that such a scenario is bound to occur by divine intervention and not as the result of human campaigning.</p>
+<p>But <a href="https://www.israeltoday.co.il/read/indians-are-red-and-settlers-are-dangerous-2/">according to</a> Ben Yosef, the vast majority of ultra-Orthodox rabbis who reject his call for Jews to ascend to the al-Aqsa mosque compound here and now &#8211; while it still contains two Muslim shrines &#8211; are “liars, wicked, defamers of Israel” and “a fifth column.”</p>
+<p>In 1980, Israel arrested Ben Yosef and Kahane and placed them under administrative detention for six months for allegedly plotting to blow up the Dome of the Rock, according to Carmi Gilon, the former head of Israel’s domestic spy agency, the Shin Bet.</p>
+<p>A decade later &#8211; after a period in which he lived in the US &#8211; Ben Yosef resumed his efforts to displace Muslims at the al-Aqsa mosque compound, but this time using a more subtle strategy: as an activist-attorney.</p>
+<p>After attaining a law degree at Israel’s Bar Ilan University, Ben Yosef regularly filed petitions against the government vying for Jewish access to the holy site.</p>
+<p>He began visiting the al-Aqsa mosque compound in 1991.</p>
+<p>In the years that followed, he started to sue the State of Israel and its top officials &#8211; including chief rabbis, ministers and even the prime minister &#8211; demanding that Jews be allowed to sacrifice animals on the al-Aqsa mosque compound, as Israelites had done on the spot in ancient times when a Jewish temple still stood there.</p>
+<p>As Ben Yosef has long openly admitted, prayer rights on the al-Aqsa mosque compound are only the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/these-are-israeli-leaders-who-want-destroy-al-aqsa/21166">first necessary step</a> towards a total takeover of the compound and its transformation into an exclusively Jewish sacred site, in line with the Kahanist core of the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/temple-movement">Temple movement</a>.</p>
+<p>“Think about what we face when we boot those Arabs off the Temple Mount. We face a jihad with the entire Muslim world,” Ben Yosef said in 1993 of his efforts to take over the site for Jews. “I’m willing to go for it, because I know that that’s what God wants.”</p>
+<p>Later that year, Ben Yosef and Keith Israel Fuchs &#8211; his fellow suspect in Odeh’s murder &#8211; <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CREC-1994-05-18/html/CREC-1994-05-18-pt1-PgS21.htm">founded</a> the Temple Mount yeshiva, a religious seminary that held its lectures on the al-Aqsa mosque compound itself. Ben Yosef explained that he chose the seminary’s sacral location in order to assert an exclusively Jewish claim to the holy site.</p>
+<p>“We have verses in the Torah that say any place we put our foot on is ours,” Ben Yosef <a href="http://davidsheen.com/odeh/94suspects.pdf">told</a> <em>The Jerusalem Post</em> in February 1994. “Walking constitutes a conquest.”</p>
+<p>The yeshiva floundered soon after Ben Yosef was jailed under administrative detention for half a year, following the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/hebron-still-under-siege-20-years-after-ibrahimi-mosque-massacre">massacre</a> of 29 Palestinian men and boys at Hebron’s Ibrahimi mosque by his friend and fellow Kahanist <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/baruch-goldstein">Baruch Goldstein</a> on 25 February 1994.</p>
+<h2>“Revolution in status quo”</h2>
+<p>In 2009, Ben Yosef called for a critical mass of Jews to seize control of the al-Aqsa mosque compound by force.</p>
+<p>“Until we bring a thousand people to the Temple Mount with rocks and bottles, nothing will happen,” Ben Yosef told Israeli news site <em>NRG</em>. “Only if we are not nice will we get the mount.”</p>
+<p>Decades of agitation by Ben Yosef and other supporters of the Temple movement have finally begun to bear fruit, even before the Trump administration published their so-called peace plan. In 2019, Israeli police began to <a href="https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/jewish-prayer-has-returned-to-the-temple-mount-exclusive-610781">tacitly allow</a> Jews who tour the al-Aqsa mosque compound to pray there.</p>
+<p>“Hebrew prayers are being recited daily on the Temple Mount with a quorum and with prayers said out loud, a revolution in the status quo,” <em>The Jerusalem Post</em> <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/regular-jewish-prayers-being-held-daily-on-temple-mount-610018">reported</a> in December.</p>
+<p>Today, the demand for Jewish prayer rights on the site has expanded far beyond the Temple movement’s core.</p>
+<p>In recent years, even supposedly secular officials in the Israeli government have <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/these-are-israeli-leaders-who-want-destroy-al-aqsa/21166">championed</a> Jewish worship at the site, hoping to dilute its Muslim character and smother its symbolic value for Palestinians of all stripes.</p>
+<p>Still, the Trump administration’s stated support for Jews who demand the right to pray at the al-Aqsa mosque compound is a frightening measure of the Israeli far-right’s influence in the White House.</p>
+<p>Almost 35 years after the murder of Alex Odeh on US soil, there is no sign that any of his alleged assassins will have to answer for the crime.</p>
+<p>Even worse, the US government is now rewarding one of those suspects.</p>
+<p>By endorsing Israel&#8217;s designs on the al-Aqsa compound &#8211; a site of pivotal importance to Palestinians &#8211; Trump and his entourage are playing into Ben Yosef&#8217;s hands. His long-held objective of dispossessing Palestinians in their own homeland has effectively been approved by the world&#8217;s only superpower.</p>
+<p>In retrospect, Ben Yosef’s comments from 15 years ago to Zippi Brand, now Tel Aviv’s deputy mayor, don’t seem so implausible.</p>
+<p>“One day they will break, they will break and we will enter,” Ben Yosef <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISCrF_6GO9g&amp;t=364">told</a> Brand in her 2005 Israeli TV documentary about the Jewish Templar movement.</p>
+<p>“Either this year, or next year, if not next year, another five years, another 10 years, but it will happen.”</p>

(Anne Paq/<a href="http://www.activestills.org/">Activestills.org</a>)</p>
+</figcaption></figure><br />
+This weekend at the eighth annual <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation national organizers’ conference held in Chicago, delegates from the approximately 300 member groups that make up the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign voted in favor of an academic and cultural boycott of Israel. The vote came on the heels of a presentation by Omar Barghouti and myself on behalf of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
+<p>The proposal that “the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation should endorse the principle of cultural and academic boycotts” passed by a landslide with one abstention and not a single objection. The quasi-unanimous vote, and the deep collective breath of relief that followed, will go down in history as the moment <span class="caps">US</span>-based Palestine solidarity activists overcame tactical differences that had long hindered us, to finally come together to confront Israeli&nbsp;apartheid.</p>
+<p>The history of the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, independence and human rights is sadly one of missed opportunities. Historically, Palestinian aspirations have not been achieved due to a corrupt and feckless leadership and petty internal&nbsp;divisions.</p>
+<p>But we have also learned that change will not come from above. It will and must come from the grassroots, the people, those who have nothing to lose but their prison walls, the daily humiliation of life as a refugee, a second- or third-class citizen, or a non-citizen. Representing the broadest coalition of Palestinian society, from various parts of historic Palestine as well as the global Diaspora, these Palestinians are the ones who jointly issued the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (<span class="caps">BDS</span>), modeled off of the same call that helped bring apartheid in South Africa to an end, giving direction to a global movement in support of this boycott&nbsp;call.</p>
+<p>Mirroring the limits of the Palestinian leadership, the history of solidarity activism is blemished by opportunities missed because of fragmentation and discord, where there should have been a shared vision for the good of the Palestinian people. However, as the participants of this weekend&#8217;s conference voted in favor of heeding the Palestinian call to join the global <span class="caps">BDS</span> movement, they finally set this country on the path to justice. Citizens, organizations and even government officials the world over, from Bangladesh to South Africa to Norway, have already responded to this Palestinian-led&nbsp;movement.</p>
+<p>After resistance to comprehensive <span class="caps">BDS</span> measures at previous meetings these organizers with the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign have now responded with an overwhelming “yes,” indicating that the tide has shifted in the <span class="caps">US</span>. This time around, these activists are not returning to their communities to tell them that the moment to heed the Palestinian boycott call is not yet right. The complicity of silence, of unwarranted self-censorship, has finally ended, and the <span class="caps">US</span> can join the global chorus clamoring: “no&nbsp;more!”</p>
+<p>Indeed, it is past time for those in the <span class="caps">US</span> concerned with justice for Palestine to learn from history and acknowledge and challenge Israeli apartheid. Apartheid in South Africa was abolished through a successful global <span class="caps">BDS</span> campaign, and a successful <span class="caps">BDS</span> campaign can put an end to Israeli apartheid. Anyone who fears that ending apartheid in Israel would “destroy” that country probably believes, or logically should believe, that South Africa was “destroyed” in&nbsp;1994.</p>
+<p>This struggle will neither be quick nor easy. While the South African call for <span class="caps">BDS</span> was issued from a small basement apartment in London by a handful of Black South African students in 1959, apartheid wasn&#8217;t officially abolished until 1994. As the title of Nelson Mandela&#8217;s autobiography declared: a long walk to freedom. But history is on our side, as more and more activists are now responding to the Palestinian&nbsp;call.</p>
+<p>The precedent is there, we are not reinventing the wheel, we are borrowing a model that led South Africa to freedom. Advisors from the South African <span class="caps">BDS</span> movement are working with the activists for Palestinian rights, because they see the similarities in the two struggles. Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Bill Fletcher Jr., to name but two prominent members of the South African <span class="caps">BDS</span> campaign, are also working with the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (<span class="caps">USACBI</span>).</p>
+<p><span class="caps">USACBI</span>’s wheels are in motion and there&#8217;s no stopping us. We are on board the freedom train and we have endorsed the Palestinian call for <span class="caps">BDS</span> in all its forms. Last weekend, we bridged the gap in the <span class="caps">US</span> solidarity movement and I&#8217;m hopeful that the call will be propelled forward by the immense grassroots support the <span class="caps">US</span> Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation has garnered over the years in this&nbsp;country.</p>
+<p>Our coming together at the conference is galvanizing, as we can now respond in unison to the Palestinian call to end not just the occupation, but Israeli apartheid. It is not one moment too soon. We have nothing to lose but&nbsp;apartheid!</p>

[With] my own eyes I have seen how the Palestinians are oppressed, dispossessed and exiled.”</p><p>The letter is regarded by Byrne and her Green Party colleagues as a vindication of the Marrickville Council&#8217;s fight &#8212; currently unsuccessful &#8212; to align its purchasing policies with the Palestinian call for <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/bds">boycott, divestment and sanctions</a> (BDS) against the State of Israel.</p><p><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/boycott-%20vote-sydney-suburhttpb-sparks-media-furor-death-threats/9192">As reported in The Electronic Intifada in January</a>, Marrickville councillors voted in December last year to respect the boycott call against Israeli products.</p><p>Council officers were tasked with identifying specific products which might fall under the BDS call and to prepare a report specifying the likely costs and impacts of boycotting those goods. The initial council decision attracted little attention for a few weeks afterwards. By the end of 2010, however, Australian anti-Islamic groups had stirred up some controversy, issuing personal attacks on and even threats against supporters of the BDS motion.</p><p><strong>Scaremongering from Murdoch stable</strong></p><p>In January, Sydney-based activists and media observers were already speculating that a spate of articles hostile to the council&#8217;s decision published in titles owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch were connected to state-level elections scheduled for that March. Two opponents of the BDS motion, the Labor Party&#8217;s Antony Albanese and his wife, Carmel Tebbutt, were both considered at risk of losing seats in public offices to the Greens.</p><p><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/interview-antony-loewenstein-palestines-struggle-australia/10062">Speaking to The Electronic Intifada several months later</a>, even Antony Loewenstein, a seasoned observer of Australian press coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict, confessed to having been surprised by what was to come.</p><p>“Even I was taken aback by how the vehemence lasted for so long,” he said of the articles which were to appear, primarily in Murdoch-owned newspapers such as <em>The Australian</em> and <em>The Daily Telegraph</em>.</p><p>Under headlines such as “<a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/%20news/nation/council-boycott-of-israel-self-indulgent/story-e6frg6nf-12259866041">Council boycott of Israel ‘self-indulgent&#8217;</a>” (<em>The Australian</em>, 13 January 2011) and “<a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/north-%20korea-marrickville-going-rogue/story-e6freuzi-1225986592031">North Korea, Marrickville: Going rogue</a>” (<em>The Daily Telegraph</em>, 13 January 2011), Marrickville&#8217;s mayor and councillors were accused of “interfering in Middle East affairs,” while inflated estimates of the cost of the boycott to Marrickville taxpayers were publicized in apparent acts of scaremongering (“<a href="https://electronicintifada.net/www.dailytelegraph.com.au/%20news/sydney-nsw/marrickville-council-faces-4-million-bill-for-israel-bans/story-e6freuzi-1226038733018">Marrickville Council faces $4 million bill for Israel boycott</a>,” <em>The Daily Telegraph</em>, 14 April 2011).</p><p>Under pressure from the media and with threats of dissolution from the Liberal-controlled New South Wales administration, Marrickville council was forced into a second vote. Several of the councillors who had initially supported a BDS purchasing policy backed down and, after three hours of debate, the majority voted for an apparently contradictory motion which resolved “not to pursue the Global BDS against Israel in any shape or form.”</p><p>The council also stated that it remained “concerned about Palestinian human rights and calls on Israel to end the occupation of all Arab lands and dismantle the [West Bank] Wall; ensure the fundamental rights of Palestinians to full equality; and respect, protect and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties.”</p><p><strong>Learning from the defeat</strong></p><p>The eventual overturn of the council&#8217;s BDS policy has brought about a degree of soul-searching among some of Sydney&#8217;s Palestine solidarity and Green Party activists.</p><p>Questions have been raised about the wisdom of putting the motion forward three months before an election, when it could be used by rival political parties as a campaign tool. The Green Party has been criticized for not laying firmer groundwork before embarking on such a contentious course, for example by having Palestine solidarity campaigners work on a grassroots level to encourage a groundswell of support. And, seasoned commentators such as Loewenstein and Sonja Karkar of Australians for Palestine warn, BDS campaigners need to be prepared to deal with media attacks from the conservative press and the pro-Israel lobby.</p><p>“There&#8217;s no doubt that the Greens who pushed this forward made mistakes in ‘selling the message,’ said Loewenstein in his earlier interview with The Electronic Intifada. He believes that not enough explanations were given by the Green councillors in Marrickville about why they were supporting BDS, and that more education was needed at a community level about what the issue of Palestine was actually about. This left the Council vulnerable to scaremongering by opponents.</p><p>“There was a degree of naivety about the degree of the backlash,” said Loewenstein, although he acknowledged that “no one could have written a script about how it was going to play out.”</p><p>He added, “But there wasn&#8217;t enough explanation of why it was important, why it was significant, why it was a significant movement led by Palestinians &#8212; something that was always ignored.”</p><p>Loewenstein believes that the growing success of the BDS movement globally will attract fiercer attacks in future, and that campaigners need to be well prepared to deal with the dirty tactics of the pro-Israel lobby and its media supporters.</p><p>“Campaigners who are advocating for BDS need to not simply believe that saying ‘this helps Palestinian freedom’ is enough,�� he said. “It&#8217;s not &#8212; because there are political forces that are going to try and crush it. BDS is taking off in so many parts of world, which is why the stakes are so much higher now.”</p><p>As Loewenstein pointed out, there is a “profound disconnect” in Australia between public opinion and government or media positions. On subjects such as military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq and the status of Palestine, a large portion of the polled population is sympathetic or neutral to withdrawing Australian troops or to the situation of the Palestinian people, he said, but this has little impact on state policy or the attitudes seen in the mainstream press.</p><p>Some commentators &#8212; and even a few Green politicians and activists &#8212; have also blamed the BDS motion in Marrickville for the party&#8217;s failure to take a seat from Deputy Premier Carmel Tebbutt in the New South Wales state legislature.</p><p>Even Bob Brown, the Green Party&#8217;s federal leader, was quoted on the progressive online news site <em>Crikey</em> as saying that “I think it [the boycott] had an effect on it &#8212; that&#8217;s my feedback from the electorate. I&#8217;m picking up from the electorate that it&#8217;s a matter of concern &#8230; As I&#8217;ve pointed out through the campaign, it&#8217;s not national Green policy” (“<a href="http://www.crikey.com.au/2011/03/28/nsw-greens-not-easy-being-green-%20as-high-hopes-fizzle/">NSW Greens: not easy being green, as high hopes fizzle</a>,” 28 March 2011).</p><p>On the other hand, many local campaigners point out that Fiona Byrne managed to achieve one of the highest ever swings from Labor to Green votes against Tebbutt in Marrickville and that for the local electorate, the council&#8217;s BDS position was not a key voting issue.</p><p><strong>Bringing BDS to the clubhouse </strong></p><p>Despite public and private acknowledgement of the errors made and the hard lessons learned from the Marrickville BDS experience, Green politicians and Palestine solidarity campaigners in Sydney remain buoyant.</p><p>A new community network has been established in Marrickville to continue campaigning on boycott issues. Plans include protests against local branches of the chocolate bar chain Max Brenner, part of the Israeli Strauss group of companies, which has a long history of support for the Israeli military and in particular its notorious Golani Brigade.</p><p>Green Senator Lee Rhiannon, speaking at a Palestine solidarity conference in Sydney in mid-May, also suggested that the high-profile coverage of Marrickville&#8217;s BDS motion had been an “own goal” for the Zionist lobby in Australia.</p><p>“Marrickville put BDS on the front pages of the national press,” said Rhiannon. “Despite the defeat in March, this has significantly helped raise the profile of the debate on Israel in Australia.”</p><p>And in her speech accepting Tutu&#8217;s letter, Byrne expressed her hope that hearing about the fight for BDS in Marrickville had offered hope to boycott campaigners in Palestine, in the same way that action against South African products helped to sustain anti-apartheid activists under white rule.</p><p>Like Rhiannon, Byrne believes that the greater awareness of BDS and of the issue of Palestine more widely is the most valuable legacy of the Marrickville debacle. Byrne describes how, at a public event weeks after the fateful vote, a local man thanked her for the work her council had done to raise the profile of Palestine among ordinary Australians.</p><p>“He said, ‘my mates and I down at Maroubra Seals [a well-known Sydney lifesaving club] talk about the Palestinian people all the time now,’” said Byrne. “I thought, wow! If this middle-aged ocker [slang for traditional white male] Australian is down at his local club talking about the plight of the Palestinian people, then we are actually managing to get out there and raise awareness.”</p><p><em><a href="http://www.sarahirving.co.uk">Sarah Irving</a> is a freelance writer.

+</figcaption></figure><em>Seven minutes</em>
+<p>January 15, 2009, 11:02&nbsp;am</p>
+<p>When I&#8217;d met the extended Abed Rabu family, before the ground invasion began, they had just had their house bombed by an F-16. Their area has been occupied by Israeli tanks and soldiers since the ground invasion began. Medical workers cannot reach the injured there, and those who have managed to escape testify to imprisonment in their houses, abuse, point-blank shooting (to death), and a number of dead not yet known. It&#8217;s an area Israel views as strategic, lying just hundreds of meters from the eastern border to Israel, a key entry point for invading troops. Past invasions have meant entire families and neighbors being locked into a room of a house for a day or days. Supposition among journalists and those with two cents here is that Israel&#8217;s intense bombardment of, and destruction of houses in, the area is to both decimate any resistance and to create an alternate “road” for tanks and troops to roll in on, meaning houses in their path are leveled to the&nbsp;ground.</p>
+<p>That day, Abu Mahmoud Abed Rabu had related the events of his house demolition. “A person called me saying he was a spokesperson for the Israeli army and that we had seven minutes to leave the house before it was bombed. I begged for 10, told him seven wasn&#8217;t enough to collect possessions and get our children out safely. He said seven,” Abed Rabu explained. His family made it out in time, avoiding the death sentence that has been given so many here, without&nbsp;warning.</p>
+<p>He said he&#8217;d just stood away from the house and watched as it was bombed, watched 20 years of his life be erased, with everything inside it. “I&#8217;m just a working man, not Fatah, not Hamas. Just a man. Why did they bomb my house?” he asked. “There were four families in here, at least 25 children,” he&nbsp;added.</p>

+</figcaption></figure>We stepped over and around rubble and the bits of house interiors that get melded together in blasts like these, going across the street to a relative&#8217;s who was then sheltering the family. An elderly woman sat by a wood fire, simmering something in a pot for their meal, no gas to cook over.
+<p>We&#8217;d continued visiting sites of missile strikes around the Ezbet Abed Rabu area. A yard with two massive craters in it, one from that morning and one from the night before. Looking from a room at the back of a two story house, I noticed the damage the F-16 bombs had done not only to the land but also to the houses around. Glass shattered, window frames blown in, safety to the wind&nbsp;&#8230;</p>
+<p><em>Bombing central&nbsp;Gaza</em></p>
+<p>15 January 2009,&nbsp;2:01pm</p>
+<p>Now that people have streamed out of homes in all the perimeter regions of Gaza, they are streaming out of homes in central Gaza. I went briefly back to an apartment I&#8217;d been given by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (<span class="caps">PCHR</span>), to collect some things &#8230; and decided to collect anything I valued, infinitely luckier than the dead or those who are given but five minutes to run for their&nbsp;lives.</p>
+<p>But people are running, and the small space that is the Gaza Strip has become a pinpoint, with people crammed into centers and still not feeling&nbsp;safe.</p>
+<p>Leila in al-Quds hospital at 8:59 am: “So Al-Quds now has [Israeli] army outside. Snipers next door, 50 hits near us during night and four hits to us. Fire in apartments behind, wounded kids near who we can&#8217;t collect&nbsp;&#8230;”</p>
+<p><em>Update:</em></p>
+<p>The al-Quds hospital continues to be surrounded by invading Israeli troops, with snipers positioned in the high buildings around the hospital neighborhood.  Doctors and those inside report being unable to leave the&nbsp;hospital.</p>
+<p>The headquarters of the United Nations agency for Palestine refugees (<span class="caps">UNRWA</span>) was hit three times by tank shelling, injuring three <span class="caps">UN</span> workers. Around 700 Palestinians were seeking shelter in the compound, which is clearly marked as a <span class="caps">UN</span>&nbsp;compound.</p>
+<p>Israeli forces targeted one of the media buildings housing numerous different stations. At least two journalists were injured in the tank shelling on the&nbsp;building.</p>
+<p>And aside from reports on the targeting of key infrastructure here, let me just repeat, people are panicking, given that Gaza City is a central place, the hub of Gaza and where those already having fled Israeli army attacks from eastern and northern regions had hoped for safety.  As we&#8217;ve said from the first day of Israel&#8217;s phenomenally brutal attacks on civilians, there&#8217;s still is not anywhere anyone can feel&nbsp;safe.</p>
