PressTV - Interim Palestinian government to be formed:
Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:16PM
Ashraf Shannon, Press TV, Gaza
"Renewed hope for Palestinians after Hamas and Fatah reached an initial agreement to set up a unity government.
The breakthrough came on Wednesday in the Egyptian capital, Cairo following intensive dialogue.
The initial understanding paves the way for the formation of a transitional unity government. The move also means fresh elections will be held within months. An exact date for the polls has yet to be set.
The reconciliation ends more than four years of division within the Palestinian political landscape. Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have been another source of friction.
On Friday, Hamas called on the Palestine Liberation Organization to rescind its recognition of Israel.
The division between the factions emerged in June 2007, some18 months after Hamas was democratically elected and beat Fatah in parliamentary elections in 2006.
Following some differences, Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians here say unity is indispensable, no matter how serious the division between the factions may seem.
Analysts believe that the road to reconciliation and true unity has been laden with obstacles, while Israel and the United States haven't made things any easier.
Palestinians have seen enough division and disagreement. In the end, it's up to the Palestinian people to determine their destiny, and now they are sure what they want, and that is unity.
Many here believe that Palestinian national unity and the strategic changes in the region are the best opportunities for the ultimate liberation of Palestine.

Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories aimed at plundering their natural wealth
PressTV - 'Palestine, a possible mini-Dubai of ME':
Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:52AM
"Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and its aggressions against the Palestinians are aimed at plundering their natural wealth, says a Middle East expert.
“People don't understand that this conflict is also to do with natural resources because in the offshore Gaza area is vast reserves of natural gas,” Peter Eyre, a Middle East consultant in London, told Press TV on Thursday.
“... Given the opportunity, this small nucleus of two separate entities [Gaza Strip and the West Bank], if they come together, has got enough wealth to become what I call the mini-Dubai of the eastern Mediterranean --that is perfectly possible,” Eyre said.
“Palestinian people have got tremendous wealth at their fingertips,” he added.
Eyre also expressed pleasure over a pact made recently between Palestinian factions to form a transitional unity government and hold future elections.
“I'm quite happy with the way things have gone on; for the first time we have two factions that have come together and that's a wonderful achievement,” the Middle East consultant said.
He also lauded the fact that the agreement was achieved without external interference.
“It's all been organized within the Arab states...They don't the West to resolve this issue,” Eyre said.
Eyre further pointed out that the West has always sided with Israel and that has been a longstanding “obstacle” on the way to achieve peace in the Middle East.
Delegations representing Hamas and Fatah came to an understanding on Wednesday in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, where they resumed unity talks.
Hamas and Fatah have been at odds since the former won the Palestinian parliamentary elections in January 2006.
Fatah set up headquarters in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Hamas arguing that the faction works in cahoots with Tel Aviv.

'Over the new year 2009-2010, an international group of 1500 men and women from 42 nations went to Egypt to join a Freedom March to Gaza. They did this to protest the current blockade of Gaza. To protest the fact that the people of Gaza live in a virtual prison. To protest the fact that a year after the terror attack by Israeli armed forces destroyed most of their homes, hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, they have no possibility to rebuild because their borders are closed. The would be Freedom Marchers wanted to peacefully draw attention to the predicament of the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Egyptian government, (funded to the tune of $2.1 billion a year, by us, the US tax payers), would not allow the marchers to approach Gaza. How lame is that? And how predictable! I live in the USA and during this time Dec 25th 2009-Jan3rd 2010 I saw no reference to Gaza or the Freedom March or the multi national protesters gathered there.

Heavy Clashes reported in Silwan - مواجهات عنيفة في سلوان
Heavy clashes were reported in Silwan this afternoon after Israeli forces closed the entrances to the village and reinforced its presence in various points there especially near settlement areas. Confrontations took place after Friday prayers. Israeli forces heavily fired teargas, sound grenades, and rubber bullets and detained various youths.
Dozens were suffocated from teargas in the residential areas and at least four persons were injured by rubber bullets. One Israeli settler fired his machine gun (See photos at the link below)
مواجهات عنيفة في سلوان والقوات الإسرائيلية تستخدم الـ أم 16 وتقتحم خيمة البستان وأسطح المنازل
اندلعت المواجهات العنيفة في بلدة سلوان جنوب المسجد الأقصى ظهر اليوم، وذلك بعد أن أغلقت القوات الإسرائيلية مداخل القرية الرئيسة في وادي الربابة وكثفت من تواجدها في نقاط مختلفة من القرية حيث نصبت بؤراً عسكرية في معظم أحياء القرية وخصوصاً على مداخل البؤر الاستيطانية في وادي حلوة وعين سلوان وبطن الهوى ووادي الربابة وغيرها. وقد اندلعت المواجهات بعد صلاة الجمعة والتي أمَها الخطيب موسى عودة بعد أن ألقى بالخطبة التي تركز موضوعها حول صمود الأهالي ضد المخططات الاستيطانية ومخطط البلدية الإسرائيلية في هدم المنازل، كما دعا المواطنين لأخذ الحيطة والحذر من ما أسماه بالطابور الخامس. وقد وصفت حدة المواجهات بالعنيفة جداً حيث استخدمت القوات الإسرائيلية خلالها قنابل الغاز والصوت والرصاص المطاطي بشكل كثيف، كما عملت على احتجاز بعض الشبان وتفتيشهم بشكل مهين بحسب ما وصف شهود العيان. ومن جهة أخرى قام الشبان الفلسطينيين برشق القوات الإسرائيلية بالحجارة.
وقد أصيب عشرات المواطنين باختناقات حادة جراء استخدام الغاز المسيل للدموع بكثافة وسط الأحياء السكنية المكتظة، وبُلغ عن وقوع أربعة إصابات بالمطاطي على أقل تقدير. كما قام أحد المستوطنين الإسرائيليين بإطلاق النار فعلياً باستخدام سلاح أم 16.
كما عملت القوات الإسرائيلية على اقتحام خيمة الاعتصام في حي البستان خلال المواجهات، كذلك احتلت بعض من منازل المواطنين في القرية مستخدمةً إياها كنقاط عسكرية تطلق منها المزيد من قنابل الغاز في كافة الاتجاهات.

PressTV - Hamas, Fatah sign Palestinian unity accord
PressTV - Hamas, Fatah sign Palestinian unity accord:
Thu Apr 28, 2011 8:19PM
Ehab Zahriyeh, Press TV, Cairo
"Following a series of meetings mediated by Egyptian hosts, Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah have reached an 'understanding' to set up a transitional unity government and hold elections.
Of significant importance is the move by the two factions to set a date for elections after years of political disagreement.
Since Hamas swept parliamentary elections in early 2006, and took over control of Gaza in 2007, the two rivals have been at complete odds.
Currently Hamas still controls the besieged Gaza Strip while Fateh is in control of the West Bank.
Hamas officials say uniting with Fateh would not take away the avenue of resistance.
The unity agreement is not going down well in Israel. Tel Aviv says they won't recognize any government that includes Hamas.
The two factions may differ on dealing with Israel, but they have stressed that these talks are about Palestinian unity, not Israel.

Daily life in Gaza: 6 hours of power supply before the 12 hour power cut
PressTV - Gazans suffering from frequent power cuts:
Thu Apr 28, 2011 7:55PM
Ashraf Shannon, Press TV, Gaza
"Blackouts of up to twelve hours have once again become part of life in Gaza since Tuesday night, as Israel doesn't allow power lines to be repaired.
Residents have access to electricity for only six hours before a twelve-hour power outage.
This has disrupted life in the coastal enclave in a big way.
Blackouts of twelve hours a day in many parts of the impoverished territory, are affecting the provision of essential services, including water supplies, medical treatment and even sewage disposal.
In residential buildings, electrical water pumps cannot provide enough water, so people have no choice but to buy water from vendors.
Israel says the presence of repair crews poses a security risk. Human rights groups have dismissed the claim as a lame excuse.
Power outages have made life more difficult under the blockade, and supplies of cooking gas, diesel and gasoline are unpredictable even at the best of times.
Gazans are now highly dependent on small and noisy electric generators to go on with their daily lives. Israel used to supply about 70 percent of Gaza's power and Egypt provided only five percent, with the remainder from Gaza' power plant.

April 2011: At least 19 Palestinians have died in Gaza over the last week, in the deadliest series of Israeli attacks since the end of the assault on Gaza two years ago. Due to this increased level of violence in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health declared a state of emergency, concerned that the situation may deteriorate further.
In response, MAP this week released 52 primary trauma kits, which contain essential medical equipment for life saving treatment. The kits will be distributed to support health professionals who have been trained in primary trauma care over the last year.

5 Years After U.S.-Backed Clashes, Palestinian Factions Fatah, Hamas Reach Unity Deal
[I think Saree Makdisi is jumping the gun and totally avoiding the agreed upon issue of reform in the PLO. He probably doesn't know the extent of said reforms just like the rest of us. I believe such reforms will allow, among other things, more representations of civil society and independents, which representations were present in the past in the form of institutions, unions etc. albeit controlled and manipulated by Arafat and the leadership in Fatah.
I'm waiting to see the full context of the draft of the agreement to judge for myself. Meanwhile, like the majority of the Palestinians and despite my feelings and position on the Ramallah PA, I will not criticize an agreement I don't know much about, yet.
Overall, I think it is a positive development in our struggle and hope to see it implemented and further improved upon.]
5 Years After U.S.-Backed Clashes, Palestinian Factions Fatah, Hamas Reach Unity Deal:
"The rival Palestinian political organizations, Fatah and Hamas, have reached an agreement to end a nearly five-year internal schism, form an interim government, and hold a general election within a year. The two sides have been locked in a bitter conflict since Fatah and the Bush administration tried to overthrow Gaza’s Hamas-led government in 2006 after Hamas won Palestinian national elections. Israel and the United States say they’ll reject any peace talks with a Palestinian government that includes Hamas. We speak with Saree Makdisi, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at UCLA and the author of several books including 'Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation.'

Abeer, a child victim of Zionist cruelty.wmv:
"Tunsol on Apr 26, 2011
AbdelRaheem, Abeer's grandfather described the moments that caused her nervous breakdown that led to her death:
'The Zionists prison guards forbade her from entering to hug her father during her visit. Her accumulated feelings made her scream and cry while pounding on the glass that separated her from her father, and from his side, her dad was doing the same thing' Then he added 'After that visit, Abeer started having involuntary movements in her right shoulder, and then her nerves deteriorated gradually'
Suliman Khader, the doctor in Hebron state hospital said:
'Abeer was suffering from nervous convulsions that reached its peak through time and led to stress'
Abeer's mother said:
'Abeer was like a flower, she'd never been sick before. There were no alarming signs what so ever for what would happen to her. It was a strange reaction'
Abeer's tragedy was a very emotional moment for all of the Palestinian prisoners. There is so much suffering for the prisoners' families who have their loved ones in the Zionists prisons, because they cannot see them and even if they can, they surely cannot embrace them.

Gaza art exhibit highlights prisoner plight
PressTV - Gaza art exhibit highlights prisoner plight:
Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:12PM
Ashraf Shannon, Press TV, Gaza
"An exhibition displaying artwork and handicrafts of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails was held in Gaza in their honor.
Thousand of Palestinians are currently being held in Israeli jails including women and children. Many of them suffer from chronic illnesses.
Many believe there is a double standard, because worldwide publicity surrounds Gilaad Schalit, the sole Israeli prisoner that is currently held in a Palestinian prison, while the world remains largely silent about thousands of Palestinians that are incarcerated in Israel.
Despite Israeli claims that torture and the abuse of prisoners have been outlawed and no longer occur, Human rights groups and prisoners continue to report cases of maltreatment and torture in Israeli detention facilities and that almost half of those arrested before the so-called 1993 Oslo peace Agreement have been in Israeli jails for more than 20 years.
To this day, over 200 Palestinian prisoners have died inside Israeli prisons. According to Palestinian officials, the deaths were the result of torture, medical negligence and shooting.
Many here say these prisoners are the symbols of resistance to Israeli occupation. According to prisoner advocacy groups currently, there are at least 7000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, many without being charged or facing trial.

Illegal Israeli settlers break into Palestinian site
PressTV - Illegal Israeli settlers break into Palestinian site:
Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:43PM
Ibrahim Husseini, Press TV, al-Quds
"Clashes erupted Sunday morning between armed Israeli settlers and Palestinian security officers when dozens of armed ultra-Orthodox settlers broke into a Palestinian checkpoint near the Joseph tomb site in the city of Nablus, without coordinating with the Palestinian side and without the required escort of Israeli forces, violating a protocol agreed upon between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Sources say the Palestinian officers informed the Israeli settlers that they're not allowed to be there without coordination, but the settlers did not obey orders, and instead, drew their guns toward Palestinian officers.
In response Palestinians security officers first fired warning shots into the air before shooting erupted between both sides.
One Israeli settler died of his wounds and three others were injured.
The incident sparked angry reactions from within the Israeli right who called for complete Israeli control on the religious site.
In retaliation, dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Hawara, by throwing stones at Palestinian vehicles, and torching a car. A Palestinian child was wounded in the incident.
Palestinians say settlers' attacks against them are frequent and inflict tremendous damage to their property and endanger their lives.
Over 500,000 Israeli settlers live in settlements in the Palestinian territories. Palestinians insist that the Israeli settlements constitute a major stumbling block to the peace process and to the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
Observers say ongoing settlement activity by Israel is becoming a friction point between Israelis and Palestinians, and while the Israeli right remains firmly behind the settlers' movement, talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians, becomes more and more distant.
Violence between Israeli settlers and Palestinians has been on the rise in recent months. Analysts believe that this incident will only serve to fuel arguments that will lead to more conflicts.

Death Without Mercy: Israeli Attack on Gaza 2009
To give the video the needed background, I would have started it with statements explaining why the desperate homemade rockets where fired in the first place, or better yet, replacing the name Hamas by dispossessed Palestinian refugees. That is what Hamas really is in fact, the people who have been waiting to get back to their homes, villages and cities in occupied Palestine for over 60 long years while the world turned a blind eye to their suffering and leaders compete to please the aggressor by denying them their most basic rights.
Don't misunderstand me, I appreciate the video and think it's good.

"SalemNews on Apr 26, 2011
The violence that Israel delivered in Gaza City is worse than many people have imagined. The images in the video accompanying this article, offers a story that no words can express. Hamas rocket attacks brought a reprisal that killed hundreds of children in Gaza City indiscriminately, and literally left the streets filled with blood.
People in western countries who have supported the operation because they believe Israel was strictly acting in self-defense, will be well served to watch the report. It contains extremely graphic scenes and parental discretion is advised.

Israeli troops attack 4 separate anti-Wall protests, injuring 16 civilians - International Middle East Media Center:
Source: IMEMC
Saturday April 23
"On Friday, 16 civilians were injured and four abducted as Israeli troops attacked the weekly anti-wall protests in the villages of Bil’in, Nil’in and al-Nabi Saleh, in central West Bank as well as the village of al-Ma’sara, in the south.
In Bil’in, 15 protesters were injured when troops attacked the weekly march. This week’s protest in Bil’in ended a three day conference on nonviolent resistance in Palestine. The Conference began on Wednesday in Bil'in, and attracted hundreds of supporters from around the world, including Italian parliamentarian Luisa Morgantini and the parents of Rachel Corrie, who was killed by the Israeli military in 2003.
Dubbed the Sixth International Conference on the Palestinian Popular Struggle, the annual conference was dedicated this year to Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni, who was killed last Friday allegedly by a Salafist (right-wing political Islamist) group in Gaza.
The conference was aimed at building and strengthening ties between Palestinian, Israeli and international activists working against the Israeli military occupation in Palestine. The conference was attended by a number of Palestinian officials in addition to members of the European Parliament, and hundreds of international and local peace and human rights activists.
On Friday midday, international and Israeli activists joined the villagers and marched toward the wall built on farmers' lands by the Israeli army. Israeli soldiers stopped protesters before they reach the wall and fired tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets at them to force them back. 15 civilians were injured including a journalist and three international supporters. The marchers continued forward and reached the gate of the wall, as they have done on every Friday since early 2005.
Soldiers then forced the non-violent demonstrators back into the village, then stormed the village, firing tear gas at houses. Many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.
In 2009 the Israeli High Court of Justice ruled in favor of Bil’in residents and ordered the military to reroute the wall giving back the village half of the land originally expropriated to build the wall. The military has still not adhered to the court order.
In the nearby village of Nil’in, many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation also on Friday during the anti wall protest. Troops attack the villagers using tear gas as soon as they reached the gate of the wall which separates the farmers from their agricultural lands.
Also Friday, two locals and two internationals were abduced when troops attacked the weekly protest against the wall and settlements in the village of an-Nabi Saleh. Palestinians, together with international and Israeli supporters, marched to their lands, where Israel is presently trying to build a new settlement. Troops fired tear gas at them to force them back into the village.
In the southern West Bank, the villagers of al-Ma’ssara, along with their international and Israeli supporters, protested the Israeli wall being built on local farmers' lands. Israeli soldiers attacked the protesters using tear gas, preventing the march from reaching the construction site of the Wall; many participants in the non-violent demonstration were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Daily Life in Hebron: home from school through the rooftops for 5 y.o. child
Yusuf’s way home
by Stuck with the Truth
Apr 21, 2011
Yusuf is five years old. He attends the kindergarten just across the landing from our women’s apartment. He’s a bright little boy, who interprets in sign language for his mother, who is deaf. He has congenital physical difficulties: he has no left arm and one leg is significantly shorter than another.
Yesterday morning a friend and I happened to meet up with Yusuf and his kindergarten teacher as she took him home after class. They unsuccessfully tried to get through two gates before going through the ladder lady’s house.
Think of any five-year-old boy you know. Think of all you wish for him. Then watch this video and wish it for Yusuf too.
A long walk home from school:
"CPTHebron on Apr 21, 2011
Yusuf tried to walk home from school on the first day of Passover (4/20/2011) when Israeli military presence in Hebron was heightened. The checkpoints he usually passes through were closed, so he tried a few alternate routes before making him home. Watch this video to see a glimpse of daily life for school kids in Hebron, West Bank.

Where are all the villages: Ethnically cleansed & destroyed Manshiyya (visited 20-04-11)
Manshiyya visited 20-04-11:
"abuaviv on Apr 21, 2011
Al-Manshiyya (Arabic: المنشية) was a Palestinian village with a Muslim orphanage and a mosque known as the mosque of Abu 'Atiyya, which is still standing. The village was close to the shrine of Baha'u'llah, who was the founder of the Baha'i Faith, which is also still standing.
...
Manshiyya was captured by on 14 May 1948 during Operation Ben-Ami. One villager recalled that the dawn attack came from the hill overlooking the village. The villagers, 'with bullets whizzing over their heads', ran towards the east 'because all other sides were surrounded by the Jews'. When they returned to remove the dead bodies, they found the village strewn with mines. One former villager recounted that her father returned to Al-Manshiyya about 10 days after the attack and found it completely razed. On the 16 June 1948, Ben-Gurion mentioned Manshiyya as one of the villages Israel had destroyed.

Bilin Demo Honors The Martyrs, One Woman Seriously Injured
Bilin Demo Honors The Martyrs Of The Popular Resistance 22.04.2011 By haithmkatib@gmail.com: "haithmkatib on Apr 22, 2011
Friday 04/22/2011
On the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Bassem Abu Rahma .
One citizen of the village of Bil'in was seriously injured as well as five demonstrators and four others who were injured as a result of abuse by the occupying forces, in addition to dozens of other cases of people choking on poison gas.
Today a woman of Bil'in was seriously injured whilst five demonstrators and four citizens received dozens of bruises, there were also many cases of severe asphyxia as a result of inhalation of tear gas, many people suffered due to the waste water and chemicals fired by the Israeli Army. This was due to the clashes that took place after the suppression of the Israeli occupation forces with the creation of the wall and settlements. On the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Bassem Abu Rahma there was a march organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall in Bil'in and the National and Islamic Forces. It began after Friday prayers from the center of the village and was attended by the people of Bil'in, dozens of Palestinians and internationals. Palestinian factions,
The Participants of the march waved many Palestinian flags, flags of Palestinian factions and pictures of martyrs Jawaher and Bassem Abu Rahma. There were also yellow banners with a picture of the leader Marwan Barghouti who is a prisoner of the occupation. This started the participants chanting national anthems calling for unity and rejection of differences, to unite in the face of the occupation and its plans and to end the division and occupation as quickly as possible.
The march headed towards the wall, where Israeli forces intercepted the march by storming the village from the west side. They fired bursts of gas, sound bombs, rubber bullets, lead Toto and live bullets toward the participants in an attempt to prevent the demonstration from getting to the area. This resulted in a injury to citizen Isra' Bornat, 20 years old. He received serious injuries as a result of inhaled poison gas and was transferred to a Palestinian hospital in Ramallah. Mohamed Hesham Bornat 28 years old was hit by a soldier's baton in the head, Jasser Ash'al, 22 years old was hit by a tear gas canister in the hand, Ahmed Ibrahim Abu Rahma, 38 years old was hit by a tear gas canister in the leg, Mohammed Shawkat, 18 years old was shot with a rubber bullet in the leg, and Simon Krieger 22 years old was hit with a tear gas canister in the arm. The occupation forces severely beat all of Iyad Bornat, 38, and Mohammad Al Khatib, 36, as well as two people from London showing solidarity with the Palestinian people, all of whom were severely bruised.
After the Israeli soldiers broke out with such violence the protestors managed to make the army of occupation retreat to the back wall.

Minneapolis Anti-War Committee Chalks Up FBI:

Israel steps up demolitions in Gaza, destroy factory buildings and storage facilities
PressTV - Israel steps up demolitions in Gaza:
Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:59PM
Ashraf Shannon, Press TV
"Israeli tanks and bulldozers entered the Gaza industrial zone which has not been in operation since 2007 near the Karni crossing in Eastern Gaza and destroyed factory buildings and storage facilities.
The Karni Industrial Zone came to a standstill when Israel heavily restricted the passageways into and out of Gaza as part of its blockade of the territory.
The buildings that were destroyed by Israel contained a variety of useful equipment, and many types of goods which have now been damaged.
The Karni crossing which was one of two commercial crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip was closed permanently in March leaving Kerem Shalom crossing as the only commercial crossing operating in Gaza.
The industrial zone is located near a no-go zone that was enforced by Israel in 2008, and anyone who ventures inside risks being shot by the Israeli army.
But business owners in the area say there was no firing of rockets by Palestinian activists in the area.
Many here say that by destroying factories and storage facilities on the border with Gaza, Israel aims to expand the so-called buffer zone to further tighten the siege on Gaza.

UN vote on Palestinian statehood in the offing
A good half-way step forward towards the real solution of the one democratic state on all of mandate Palestine, unless the lame Ramallah P.A. empties it of this significance by having already made promises on refugees return to their original homes, towns and cities. You really never know what to expect from that bunch in Ramallah, so I'm taking the news with a whole load, not just a grain, of salt!

Palestinian Observer Ambassador Riyad Monsour says that destiny is on the side of the Palestinian people as September approaches. He told the nations of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, as he argued for support for Palestinian statehood -- which he says is nearing reality. The Palestinian Authority has been busy drumming up support for it's bid for statehood. Uruguay reinforced its supportive stance -- which means that every South American state stands in support of Palestine -- except for Columbia -- which has sworn it won't recognize the Palestinian effort. Monsour used every tool at his disposal -- especially the recent UN report that states Palestinian functions are sufficient for statehood -- and that Israel should roll back its 'measures of occupation.'

Journalist Yousef Al Helou speaks at Palestinian Prisoners' Day - Dublin 17th April 2011
Journalist Yousef Al Helou speaks at Palestinian Prisoners' Day - Dublin 17th April 2011:
"IrelandPSC on Apr 17, 2011
On Sunday April 17th at 2pm the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) marked Palestinian Prisoners Day with a demonstration at the Spire in O'Connell St, Dublin.
The demonstration called for the release of all Palestinian political prisoners imprisoned by the Israeli State - those 'convicted' in Israeli Military courts and those interned without trial under the 'Administrative Detention' regime. This year there was a special focus on the issue of child prisoners - of which there are currently 216 (45 under the age of 16) being held in Israeli jails.[1]
The IPSC called this demonstration - as part of the international activities taking place on Palestinian Prisoners Day 2010 - as we believe that all Palestinian political prisoners are victims of Israeli colonialism and apartheid. We therefore demand the release of all political prisoners held by the Israeli state.
Some facts from 'Defence For Children International - Palestine'
* Israel currently hold 216 Palestinian children in prison. Of these, 45 are under the age of 16.
* Each year, approx 700 Palestinian children (some as young as 12) are arrested, interrogated and prosecuted by Israeli military courts
* Children are frequently threatened and physically assaulted during interrogation often resulting in coerced confessions. According to Amnesty, 'torture and other ill-treatment continue to be [widely] carried out' in Israeli prisons.
*Child prisoners are held in inhumane conditions of detention either made to live in overcrowded and filthy cells or placed in small solitary confinement cells
* Since 2000, some 7,000 Palestinian children have been detained and prosecuted by Israel
* In the past decade, 1,452 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli occupation forces.
Palestinian Prisoners - The Grim Reality
According to ADDAMEER, the Palestinian Prisoners' Rights NGO, at present over 5,770 Palestinians are currently imprisoned by the Israeli state for resisting Israeli colonialism, Apartheid and oppression. Of those, 216 are children, 37 are women, 12 are elected Palestinian representatives and over 200 are 'Administrative Detainees' - that is they have been interned without trial not having been charged with any crime or seeing the secret evidence against them. Those 'convicted' prisoners were jailed by non-jury Israeli Military Courts (all Palestinians in the Occupied Territories are subject to Israeli military law, while Israel's colonial settlers are ruled by Israeli civil law - yet another example Israel's Apartheid system). These courts, biased from the outset, do not meet international fair trial standards.[2]
Over four decades of illegal Israeli military occupation, Palestinians from all walks of life have been illegally detained by Israel. Since the beginning of the occupation in 1967, over 650,000 Palestinians have been detained by Israel. This forms approximately 20% of the total Palestinian population in the OPT. Considering the fact that the majority of those detained are male, the number of Palestinians detained forms approximately 40% of the total male Palestinian population in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

I know that for you I would give my life.
My life I would give for you.

An-Nabi Saleh Weekly Demo 8-4-11 مسيرة النبي صالح الاسبوعية
An-Nabi-Salih_8-4-11:
"yisraelpnm on Apr 8, 2011
Eight arrested in Nabi Saleh demonstration: Six Palestinians and two Israeli supporters
April 8, 2011
This Friday Nabi Saleh demonstration against the settlements and occupation was joined by a group of West Bank March 15 activists and was larger than usual. Some 80 people marched through the village's main street and then crossed into the fields to reach the spring and land being stolen and threatened by settlers. This turn to the fields also helped the protesters avoiding being fired at by the Israeli soldiers who awaited them down the street. Even before the marchers could reach the village's main road, Israeli soldiers came to stop them, throwing stun and tear gas grenades and shooting rubber-coated metal bullets at a non-violent protest. This, however, did not deter the protesters, who kept standing in front of the soldiers in defiance. The soldiers than turned to violently arresting two Palestinian protesters and attempting to arrest a third one.
After the soldiers left the fields with the arrested, protesters regathered and managed to cross the main road and into the hill that overlooks the village's spring. The army was too slow to respond but when it did, it attacked the protesters, shooting tear gas canisters at them, as they moved further away. The protesters than marched back through the village and into its center. During this time the army had already swarmed the village, taking over roofs, throwing tear gas and stun grenades, and arresting four Palestinian by-standers. When the peaceful march reached the village's center, two Israeli supporters -- who, according to the army, have violated a closed military zone order -- were also arrested. A third was detained shortly.
Three of the Palestinian arrestees have already been released. The two Israelis are also likely to be released this evening. The three other Palestinians may be taken to Ofer military prison, where they will be subjected to a harsh military legal system, specifically designated for a prolonged imprisonment of Palestinians without a viable trial.

Israeli strikes kill Palestinians in Gaza
PressTV - Israeli strikes kill Palestinians in Gaza:
Fri Apr 8, 2011 10:16PM
Safa Joudeh, Press TV, Gaza
"On Friday morning, the Gaza Strip woke up to Israeli air strikes that targeted the southern city of Rafah. Throughout the day a barrage of mortar fire and missiles over the territory led to the death of six people, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed in less than 48 hours to 11. Over 45 were also wounded, many of them children.
The Ministry of Health's Ambulance and Emergency Committee held a press conference in Gaza's Shifa hospital on Friday afternoon
Gazans took to the streets after the Friday prayer in a mass funeral procession carrying the dead to the cemetery. As they laid them to rest family members were eager for people to know that their loved ones were unarmed when targeted by Israel.
On Thursday evening the Hamas Government called on all factions in Gaza to declare a unilateral ceasefire with Israel, to prevent further attacks on the unarmed civilian population of Gaza.
The series of Israeli strikes come on the same day as talks between acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian officials, paving the way for direct reconciliation talks between Fatah and Hamas. Israel has previously expressed its opposition to Palestinian unity.
Palestinian factions have called on international organizations to urge Israel to halt attacks on Gaza.

Israeli forces demolish more Palestinian homes
PressTV - Israeli forces demolish more Palestinian homes:
Thu Apr 7, 2011 7:37PM
Sari al-Khalili, Press TV, al-Aqaba
"Amid an intensifying Israeli targeting of Palestinian houses in the West Bank, two houses and three cattle shelters were razed down by Israeli military bulldozers in the village of Al-Aqaba.
Sami Sadeq, head of the village's council explained that 95% of Al-Aqaba's families have received demolition warnings from the Israeli civil administration.
Israel considers the area a military closed zone where no building is allowed.
Three stray bullets penetrated Mr. Sadeq's back forty years ago during Israeli military drills in the area, which paralyzed him.
Figures from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees recorded 76 demolitions of Palestinian buildings in March, forcibly displacing 158 Palestinians including 64 children.
On the same day, Israeli troops stormed the village of Awarta near the West Bank city of Nablus and abducted over 100 Palestinian women. Israeli officials said the arrests are part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of five settlers in March.
Israel also demolishes Palestinian homes for expansion of its settlements in the WB and other cities. These settlements are deemed illegal by international laws and the international community. Palestinians have been urging the international community to step in and stop the demolitions and the settlement building in the region.
The ongoing Israeli military activities in the West Bank are perceived by the Palestinians as a clear reminder of the need to resist against the occupation and draw strength from the current Arab uprisings.

Palestinian Child Day marked in Gaza (April 5)
PressTV - Palestinian Child Day marked in Gaza:
Tue Apr 5, 2011 9:48PM
Ashraf Shannon, Press TV, Gaza
"Hundreds of Gazan children and their families attended a celebration marking Palestinian Child Day.
It was a day of fun and activities away from the stress that the children are usually subjected to. Gazan children are deprived of living a normal life because of the Israeli blockade that often prevents children from receiving medicine, school books and certain foods.
Organizers of the event stressed the need for the international community to protect Palestinian children.
Children have been killed, injured, forced to leave their homes, separated from their families, arrested, beaten up, humiliated and harassed on a daily basis by Israel in it's forty plus years of occupation.
Just during the Israeli war on Gaza in late 2008, hundreds of children were either killed or injured.
Children say they are still trying to overcome the trauma of the war.
Gazan mothers who attended the celebration with their children recounted their fears during the war.
Experts say that Gazan children have lost their sense of security because they are constantly exposed to violence due to the ongoing Israeli aggressions.
Two years on from Operation Cast Lead the children of Gaza are still facing enormous challenges as their families struggle to rebuild their lives.

"A week has passed since the 15-member Egyptian delegation touched down from Cairo to the Rafah border hoping to take through 10 tons of cement into Gaza. But after a series of delays and no definitive answer from the Egyptian authorities, the Egyptian military decided to confiscate the cement and urge the members to pack up and go.
the cement did not go through. Observers say this is perhaps a clear indication that Mubarak's strict and cruel policies towards Palestine is still present within the Egyptian authorities. And for that to change there must be a major shift from the old regime.
Activists here believe the Egyptian Government delayed procedures in the hope that they could derail the mission and discourage the delegation.
But the delegation is not giving up. They camped outside the Rafah border for seven nights and are determined to come again. They feel that if they apply enough pressure, the Egyptian government has no choice but to listen to the will of the people.

BDS - University of Johannesburg cuts ties with Israeli college
PressTV - University of Johannesburg cuts ties with Israeli college:
Fri Apr 1, 2011 10:48PM
Hassen Seria, Press TV, Cape Town
"Away from the traditional means of expressing condemnation of Israel's occupation of Palestine, the University of Johannesburg has now moved to sever its relationship with Israeli Ben-Gurion University.
The decision follows a call by members of the South African university's senate, which included Jewish academics.
The university says the matter was put to the vote after a 'spirited' debate by its senate...
The cooperative agreement with Ben Gurion University was established during South Africa's apartheid era and so was inherited by the University of Johannesburg.
