Gaza Pullout? 

As the Israeli military continues its atrocities in Gaza, some are hopeful that soon the Israelis will pull out, as Sharon has promised (though he has never promised to relinquish Israeli military control of all its borders, he has promised to remove the settlers).   Even the evacuation of the illegal settlers is not likely, says Israeli academic Tanya Reinhart.  The only hope is people's resistance, and international solidarity.   

 

Statement from Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations (PNGO) Network on the Israel’s Unilateral Disengagement Plan

A Palestinian view on the Gaza Disengagement.  PNGO believes that the Israeli government is using the Unilateral Disengagement Plan to divert attention from its continued expropriation of Palestinian land in the West Bank and Jerusalem for the construction of the Separation Wall and the construction and expansion of settlements.

 

Resistance in Palestine

Despite the recent headlines coming from Palestine, there are reasons to see signs of hope, both here and in Palestine.  More...

 

A Way Out

Israeli intellectuals and activists call for coexistence, based on mutual recognition, equal partnership, and the the implementation of historical justice.  See the Olga appeal here...

 

Hunger

A growing problem in the fertile land of Palestine.  Nearly 20% of children suffer severe malnutrition.  And the blame is the occupation, says the United Nations and the International Red Cross.  More...

 

Home Demolitions

Muley told Tom Joad that many people had been "Tractored out by the Cats", the Caterpillar tractors sent in to displace the tenant farmers from the land, in an effort to extract profit.  And today in Palestine it is the colonial effort to get rid of the people, and take the land and again, ironically, it is still done by "Cats".  The homes of more than 12,000 Palestinians destroyed in the last 3 years.   More...

 

Apartheid Wall

This separation wall is a disaster for the people of Palestine.  Find out more about what it means and how people are resisting.  More...

 

Justice for Tom Hurndall

Israeli soldier who shot Tom Hurndall arrested.

Hurndall’s mother says Palestinians are not “children of a lesser god”. 

After 8 long months, and intense international pressure, the Israeli military arrested the member of the Israeli Defense Force responsible for shooting ISM activist Tom Hurndall.  At the time of the shooting, he was shepherding children out of harm’s way in Rafah, Gaza.  There is no doubt that if this were the case of an attack on a Palestinian civilian, instead of a British civilian, the soldier would not be facing a trial.  Tom’s mother speaks out….More

 

The Military attack on the West Bank town of Nablus, and refugee camp of Balata. 

Ancient Palestinian city under siege.  Strict curfew causes casualties, as well as killings,  at least 18 dead.  Having spent nearly a month there last winter, this certainly strikes close to home.  More...

 

For those who refuse the draft into the Israeli military to serve in the occupied territories.  We salute your humanity and courage.
