Egypt temporarily opens Rafah border crossing
Rafah Crossing reopens temporarily: Hundreds of Palestinians and Egyptians allowed to leave Gaza
Click here to see Reuters video
30 August 2008
The Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip – the only territory border crossing that bypasses Israel- reopened this Saturday morning, breaking a six month long closure for Palestinians and Egyptians stranded in the Gaza Strip since Egypt sealed the border with Gaza last February. This action led to a flow of some 400 Palestinian patients leaving Gaza for medical treatment in Egypt, along with 300 Egyptian citizens returning to their homeland.
Today, some 700 people, both from Gaza and Egypt, will be allowed to leave the Strip through the Rafah border crossing. Amongst those 700 people are 400 patients from Gaza who will be allowed to leave on Sunday for medical treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
Along with the Palestinian patients, 300 Egyptian citizens will also be allowed to leave the Strip and return to their homeland after having been stuck in Gaza since last February, when Egypt closed the Rafah crossing.
In total, around 2,000 people are expected to cross the border over the weekend, said Mohamed Odwan, the spokesman of the crossings department in Gaza Strip.
The crossing will be open from 8.00 A.M to 8.00 P.M today and will remain open on Sunday for the same hours. Since 8 o’clock this morning, 300 Egyptians in 6 buses were waiting to cross the border. Those Egyptians stranded in Gaza have been living in a school in Rafah for the last 6 months, while calling repeatedly on their government to reopen the border.
Since June 2007, Israel has imposed a severe blockade on the Gaza Strip, carrying out an isolation policy on the Strip by restricting freedom of movement for goods and people, and allowing only limited humanitarian goods to Gaza.
As a consequence of both Israeli and Egyptian travel restrictions, few Gazans are permitted to leave the Strip.
Opening a crossing point in Gaza was an emergency as the health situation in the isolated territory has been worsening by the day. A total of 241 patients have died due to the Israeli siege which has emptied all hospitals from the basic medical supplies and equipment, while the patients have been barred from leaving the Gaza Strip for medical treatment elsewhere.
This solidarity gesture from the Egyptian authorities occurs a couple of days after the two boats from the Free Gaza movement left the Gaza strip to go to Cyprus.
The boats ‘SS Free Gaza’ and ‘SS Liberty’, filled with 47 international activists broke last week the Israeli siege on the strip by entering Gaza through territorial waters. The boats left the Gaza Strip for Cyprus on Thursday, and arrived safely today in Larnaca harbour in Cyprus, carrying with them several Palestinians who have been previously denied exit visas by the Israeli authorities.
The new Palestinian members of the crew includes a 10-year-old boy who has lost his left leg from the hip down due to an Israeli tank shell explosion with aim of fitting an artificial leg in Cyprus, along with a Palestinian mother and her four children who were reunited with her Cyprus-based brother after a decade.
To the organizers, by freely travelling to Gaza, the Free Gaza Movement “forced the Israeli government to issue a fundamental policy change regarding their military and economic blockade of Gaza. Until now, Israel has wanted absolute control of Gaza with no responsibility. Israel has managed to maintain this situation, in spite of international law, because its policies have never been challenged.”
The activists have promised to return to Gaza with another delegation soon, and they have encouraged the United Nations, the Arab League and the international community to organize similar human rights and humanitarian efforts.
Today’s gesture from the Egyptian authorities to open the Rafah crossing might be interpreted as a sign that the Arab countries are also now moving to show international support to the Gazan people, challenging the ongoing siege on the Strip and, slowly, softening the living conditions of people in Gaza.
Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi, the General Secretary of the Palestinian Initiative, who has been an outspoken critic of the siege on Gaza and has made countless calls for it to be ended immediately highlighted, in regard of today’s events, that: “Any creative actions held by the International community - both from Arab countries and common citizens- to break the siege on Gaza should be supported, to break the siege together.”

Jeff Halper, an Israeli activist on the "Free Gaza" boats arrested when leaving Gaza
by Palestine Monitor
Jeff Halper, an Israeli left wing activist who sailed as a member of the ‘Free Gaza' ship to challenge Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip was arrested by the Israeli police at the Erez Crossing this Tuesday, on his way to leave Gaza and return to Jerusalem.
According to the Maariv newspaper, the police decided after deliberations to arrest the Professor who will be submitted to Ashkelon Court tomorrow morning to consider his case. The Israeli authorities accuse Halper of violating a decree banning any Israeli citizens from entering the Gaza Strip, although Jeff Halper is also holder of American citizenship.
The professor spent three days in the Gaza strip after the arrival of the boat before trying to enter Israel through the Erez crossing, where the police arrested him and took him to Sderot for further interrogations. As the only Israeli citizen on board, Halper told newspapers he was expecting to be arrested and interrogated for his act of civil disobedience upon re-entering Israel.
Born in Minnesota, Professor Jeff Halper is a famous Israeli peace activist, anthropology lecturer from Ben Gourion University and chairman of ICAHD – The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, an organization that works to block the IDF's activities in the Palestinian territories and the demolition of Palestinian homes. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his longtime commitment to anti-occupation and pro-peace activities.
The Professor was the only Israeli among the 44 activists from 17 nations who took part in the blockade-busting project ‘Free Gaza'. The two boats ‘SS Free Gaza' and ‘SS Liberty' sailed last week from Cyprus to the Gaza Strip and reached the Palestinian coast on Saturday. By defying the Israeli blockade, the crewmembers are the first foreigners to reach the closed territory by sea since the complete closure of the Strip one year ago.
Once. And again?
Although the achievement of the ‘Free Gaza' project was uncertain due to the harsh restrictions carried out by the Israeli government, Israel finally allowed the activists to dock on the Gaza strip on the 25th of August. But what looks like a softening gesture, has more to do with avoiding public confrontation and bad media coverage for Israel, which the government recognized when allowing the ship to dock. Indeed, the international activists' project enjoyed great international coverage. “They wanted a provocation at sea, but they won't get it”, explained Foreign Ministry spokesman Aviv Sharon.
To Halper, whatever was the outcome, the resistance was always worth it: "the beauty of a non-violent activity is that we win, no matter what. If we break the siege, we win, and even if they arrest us, we win, because this will expose the face of the occupation and prove that Israel is still an occupier in Gaza", he said, while interviewed early August about its expectations for that trip.
Contacted after his arrival on the Palestinian prohibited ground, Harper told Haaretz: “I feel like we're fresh air entering a prison where a million and half people are living”. And when expressing his views about the Israeli public opinion -mostly unaware of the real situation on the ground in Gaza- the peace activist emphasized: "Our impression that Gaza is Hamas, that there is only hatred there, is mistaken," adding that he learned that "we are more of an obstacle to peace than the Palestinians."
As the only Israeli Jew who participated in the journey, Harper holds, as a consequence, a great symbolic value for the Israeli authorities. As a matter of fact, even if Tzipi Livni, the Israeli minister of foreign affairs, allowed those specific ships to dock in Gaza, it is still certain that Israel doesn't want a copy-cat of this action in the future. The Israeli government was quoted in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonot as confirming that, “This was a one time thing,” in order to discourage any other activists from carrying out such an action. This might also be the reason why Jeff Halper has been arrested and questioned, as the Israeli authorities would like to make an example of him.
In place since 2007, the Israeli blockade of Gaza has totally isolated the 1.5 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip from the outside world, barring all but a minimum of Humanitarian aid, worsening the Gazan economy, heath and humanitarian situation as neither goods nor people are free to enter and leave the Strip.
But above this, by preventing any foreigners, and moreover any Israelis to enter the Strip, Israel is also carrying a ‘blackout' policy, ensuring that Israelis will not enter the territory and will not discover the Gazan reality on the ground. By doing so, Israeli is securing its occupation policy, making sure that any Israelis will protest against it and that their journalists cannot report on it.
Still, by having broken the siege once, ‘ordinary citizens' have shown that they can do something and succeed. However, it cannot yet be taken for granted that breaking the siege via sea will work again, without the kind of media attention that the Free Gaza Movement received last Saturday.
Today, on the edge of the departure, the rest of the crew plans to sail back to Cyprus on Thursday, taking several Palestinians with them, including Fulbright students prevented by Israel from leaving Gaza to study abroad, and a young woman wishing to be reunited with her husband.

CO Sahar Vardi, 18, a conscientious objector, has been sentenced today (25 Aug 2008)
CO Sahar Vardi, 18, has been sentenced today (25 Aug 2008):
"Sahar is the third conscientious objector, and the first woman, to be imprisoned among a new group of high school seniors, who signed a collective declaration of refusal to serve in the Israeli army of occupation, and in the work of organising which she has been very strongly involved.
While she stresses the importance of resisting the occupation of Palestine as a motive for her refusal, Sahar's conscientious objection is also rooted in a wider pacifist position. In a letter to the Minister of Defence, declaring her refusal to serve in the military, She wrote:
I have been to the occupied Palestinian territory many times, and even though I realize that the soldier at the checkpoint is not responsible for the wretched policy of the oppressor towards civilians, I am unable to relieve that soldier of responsibility for his conduct ... I mean the human responsibility of not causing another human being to suffer.
The bloody times in which I live (consisting of assassinations, aggression, bombings, shootings) results in increasing numbers of victims on both sides. It is a vicious circle that emanates from the fact that both sides elect to engage in violence. This choice I refuse to take part in.
A demonstration was organised to join Sahar before she goes into the Induction Base to refuse enlistment (see image on the right). Ab"

A Statement from the International Human Rights Workers Aboard the SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty, Sailing to Gaza
For Immediate Release Date : 08-23-2008
(10am, 23 August, 2008) At 10am this morning, the Cyprus team of the Free Gaza Movement was able to briefly speak with our people on board the SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty. They are all fine, and they asked us to release the following statement:
"The electronic systems which guarantee our safety aboard the SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty have been jammed and scrambled. Both ships are flying Greek flags, and are in international waters. We are the victims of electronic piracy. We are currently in GMS P area A2 and we are relying on our satellite communications equipment to make a distress call, if needed.
We are civilians from 17 nations and are on this project to break the siege of Gaza. We are not experienced sailors. As a result, there is concern about the health and safety of the people on board such an emergency develop.
We are currently experiencing rough sea conditions, and we call on the Greek government and the international community to meet their responsibilities and protect the civilians on board our two ships in international waters."

By Khalid Amayreh in al-Khalil (Hebron)
As I write these words, two boats with some 46 peace activists from many nationalities onboard are sailing from Cyprus to the Gaza Strip in a symbolic effort to break Israel’s cruel blockade of the coastal Palestinian territory.
The Free Gaza Movement, the organizer of the bold mission, includes people from various religious and cultural backgrounds who are united in their dedication to the cause of freedom for the estimated 1.5 million Gazans, thoroughly tormented by a nearly hermetic blockade that has effectively reduced the originally impoverished enclave to a virtual concentration camp.
Among the people taking part in this brave endeavor are an 81-year-old Catholic nun and the sister of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as well as Muslim, Jewish and Christian activists.
If all goes well, the two boats, SS Liberty and “Free Gaza” will deliver urgently-needed medicine and other humanitarian aid to the children of Gaza.
Hundreds of Gaza children and other civilians have died due to the acute shortage of medicine and food resulting from the year-long siege.
Israel, which is obviously embarrassed by the publicity surrounding the humanitarian mission, has threatened to violently prevent the two boats from reaching Gaza.
Some Israeli officials have even hinted at the possibility of using violence against the two boats.
Israel has not stopped telling the world that it no longer occupies Gaza. However, this claim is obviously a scandalous lie since the Israeli occupation continues to exercise tight control over the Gaza Strip’s sea, air and border crossings.
There is no doubt that the continuation of the Gaza siege is a stigma of shame on the conscience of humanity as a whole.
It is a stigma of shame upon the United States which shamelessly conspires with Israel to savage and torment these innocent Palestinians whose only “crime” is their audacity to elect a government that rulers of Tel Aviv and Washington don’t like.
It is also a stigma of shame upon the states of Europe who are watching passively a predator state gang up on helpless civilians very much like the Nazi Third Reich did nearly seven decades ago.
But the greatest shame falls upon Arab countries, especially Egypt, which is effectively complementing the Israeli siege of the shut-in Gazans by refusing to open the Rafah border crossing to allow them to buy food and medicine as well as travel abroad.
I really can’t understand how we, Arabs and Muslims, can blame Israel, a cruel and criminal state that would like to see Palestinians wiped off from the face of earth, while a so-called brotherly Arab country is closing the borders in the face of thousands of desperate Palestinians seeking urgently needed health care.
Indeed, I want to ask the Egyptian leadership how many Palestinians must die before Egypt will listen to the helpless cries of the starving and dying Gazans?. Shame on you.
We salute you
To these brave men and women onboard “SS Liberty” and “Free Gaza”, I would like to say the following.
I salute you for your courage, humanness and self-abnegation. You undoubtedly represent a point of light in a world overwhelmed by darkness. Your selfless efforts on behalf of the oppressed men, women and children of Gaza show that there are still brave men and women in this world who wouldn’t give in to brut power.
I salute that elderly nun, Anne Montgomery, of the religious Order of the Sacred Heart, for her brave determination to take part in this challenging and dangerous mission, despite her old age.
I salute broadcaster and journalist Lauren Booth for demonstrating that journalism is not a “morally neutral job” and that true journalists must also be true human beings who should take a pro-active stance for justice.
I salute Jeff Halper the Professor of Anthropology and Coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICHAD) who by taking part in this sublime endeavor is making an important statement, namely that there are Jews in this world who don’t support Israel’s Nazi-like repression of the Palestinian people and that starving and savaging innocent civilians for political reasons is incompatible with true Jewish morality.
I salute Greek MP Tasos Kourakis who has voiced a determination “to break the wall of silence surrounding Gaza” by exposing the scandalous siege of a people Israel is trying to crush for wanting to be free.
I salute Dr. Paul Larudee, a co-founder of the Free Gaza mission for his fearless, unflinching determination to carry out this daunting task despite all the threats and intimidation coming from Israel.
I salute Yvonne Ridley, TV Presenter, author and peace activist, for her tireless dedication to the cause of justice in Palestine, Afghanistan and around the world.
I salute all of you, one by one, for your moral commitment on behalf of humanity.
May God bless you all.

Ministry of Health warns of the increasing number of deaths among patients due to the siege.
Monday August 11, 2008. By Saed Bannoura
Source: IMEMC
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip warned on Sunday of the increasing number of mortalities among the patients in the Gaza Strip due to the ongoing Israeli siege and Israel’s rejection to allow the patients to receive medical treatment in Israel and abroad.
The ministry stated that the health stores of the ministry ran out of medications and supplies, and called on the international community to intervene and save the patients of the Gaza Strip.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the ministry said that twelve patients, including six women and one child, died since the beginning of August.
The death of the twelve patients rises the number of patients who died since the beginning of the siege to 243, 42 of them died since the beginning of the recent truce between Israel and resistance factions in Gaza. The truce started on June 19, 2008.
The ministry called on the World Health Organization (WHO), the Red Cross, and all human rights groups in addition to the International Community to intervene and oblige Israel to lift its illegal siege.
It added that the practices of the Israeli occupation constitute War Crimes and should be added to the “international terrorism list”. The ministry also called for prosecuting Israel for war crimes against all Palestinians.
The siege entered its fourteenth month leaving 234 patients dead and hundreds more will face the same fate if the siege is not lifted.

Toilet water, the new kind of weapon used against the people from Bil’in
by Abdallah Abu Rahma, Coordinator of Bil’in Popular Committee
Today,8 August 2008, after the Friday Prayers, the inhabitants of Bil’in, Israeli, and international peace activists participated in a demonstration against the wall. They raised Palestinian flags and signs with slogans that condemn the policies of the occupation. The slogans condemned the construction of the wall, the confiscation of Palestinian lands for the construction of settlements, the road closures, and the seizure of Palestinian villages, towns, and cities. The protesters also carried signs with slogans against the killing of innocent civilians, especially children. In addition, the slogans condemned the attacks on detainees, in particular, shooting at them while detained, hand cuffed and blindfolded.
The protest started from the centre of the village, and the protesters chanted similar slogans in addition to those that called for national unity. Upon arrival to the wall, the protesters while raising photos of the murdered children, Ahmed Husam Yousef Musa and Yousef Ahmed Amera, attempted to cross the wall in to their land. The action was a symbol of protest against the monstrous violations that Israeli soldiers commit against Palestinian civilians. Israeli soldiers murdered Ahmed 10 days ago, 29 July 2008, and Yousef 3 days ago, 4 August 2008 - both while participating in non-violent protests against the construction of the segregation wall in Ni’lin.
Today, the protesters succeeded to arrive at the location of the wall, and they repeated chants and slogans against the occupation soldiers and their officers that command them to shoot unarmed civilians. Soon after, confrontations started, the soldiers started firing tear gas, and sprayed us with toilet water. We would like to take a sample for analysis. Many people immediately had to be sick after being sprayed with this water. This is not the first time they use water, but this time was the first that they used water from the toilets. In addition to the water, the soldiers use many types of weapons on the Palestinians. For example they use many types of gas, many types of rubber bullets, clean water, water mixed with gas, scream, saltball, sackbeans. All of these are new weapons.
From a different point, the Israeli Supreme Court gave 45 days (52 as of today) to the Israeli army to correct the current track of the segregation wall that passes through the village. Israeli Chief Justice, Dorit Beinisch, and two of her fellow colleagues, condemned the Israeli government’s neglictance of the Supreme Court’s ruling last year, which ordered the correction of the current track of the wall.
Chief Justice Beinisch confirmed to the Israeli government representative, Avi Lisht, her ruling to correct the track of the wall and added; “we ruled that the current track cannot sustain as it does now.”
The people of Bil’in submitted a petition to the Israeli Supreme Court in 2005, hoping to prevent the Israeli occupation army from confiscating their lands. The confiscated lands would be used to build the segregation wall and further annex the remaining of the land in favor of constructing the illegal settlement, ‘East Matityahu’.
On July 2007, the Israeli Supreme Court decreed the illegitimacy of constructing the wall on Bil’in’s lands, and further ordered the government to propose a different track of the wall without harming the nature of the village. A year after the ruling, and because the Israeli government did not act in accordance with the ruling, the people of Bil’in through their advocate, Michael Sfard, decided to return to the Supreme Court. The Israeli government further continues the same policy without acknowledging the Supreme Courts ruling.

Today demonstration in Ni'lin - 7-8-08:
"Today's demonstration in Nil'in managed to get to the bulldozers and stopped them for about 30 minutes.
In the process, 2 demonstrators were arrested: an Israeli and and a Palestinian.
The two have already been detained and the police decide to arrest them.
A bit more than an hour ago, an international activist was arrested when the soldiers entered the village.
It seems that they will be taken to the police station.
A kid was also injured when he was physically beaten up by a soldier. That is the only injury that we know of so far."
