| | Annexing Israel
Zvi Bar`el - Haaretz - First the settlers annexed the slogan "appropriate Zionist response" to means that for every terror attack and every person killed in one, a new settlement or neighborhood should be built. Not in the State of Israel, since Israel is already a foreign, Tel Avivan state that does not know what genuine Zionism is. The "Zionist response" must be provided in the only Zionist state, the state of the settlers.-rh | | | Demonizing the Nakba
Larry Derfner - +972 - The truth, rather, is that by demonizing Nakba Day, the winners of the War of Independence are telling the losers that they’re not even allowed to cry, not in public, anyway.-rh
| | | The Children of Palestine
Julie Holm - MIFTAH - Palestinian children grow up in a very politicized reality; they are affected by the occupation even before they are born. They grow up in a world of checkpoints and walls, a world where every family has had a family member who is or was in prison and where the only tool these prisoners have to get fair treatment is their empty stomachs.-rh | | | Thaer Halahleh’s letter to his daughter: "My Beloved Lamar…Forgive me"
Linah Alsaafin - The Electronic Intifada - “Lamar my love: I know that you are not to be blamed and that you don’t yet understand why your father is going through this battle of hunger strike for the 75th day, but when you grow up you will understand that the battle of freedom is the battle of going back to you, so that I can never be taken away from you again or to be deprived of your smile or seeing you, so that the occupier will never kidnap me again from you.”-rh
| | | Progress for Prisoners’ Movement : Palestinian Prisoners’ Mass Hunger Strike Concludes After Agreement is Reached
Addameer - The demands raised in the collective hunger strike, which was launched on 17 April, included an end to the IPS’ abusive use of isolation for “security” reasons, which currently affects 19 prisoners, some of whom have spent 10 years in isolation, and a repeal of a series of punitive measures taken against Palestinian prisoners following the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, including the denial of family visits for all Gaza prisoners since 2007 and denial of access to university education since June 2011.-rh | | | Two wrongs do not make a right
Neve Gordon - Aljazeera - But if there is any hope for this region, the recognition must be reciprocal. The Palestinians, who have no doubt been wronged, must concede, as the late Edward Said urged them to do, that two wrongs do not make a right. Only once there is mutual recognition of the two historical narratives will an opportunity for reconciliation truly emerge.-rh
| | | Who is delegitimizing Israel?
Paul Woodward - War in Context - Anyone who is really afraid of the delegitimization of Israel should consider that Israel may face no greater threat than the one posed by its own defenders.-rh
| | | Israel’s popularity sinks even lower in 2012, new BBC global survey confirms
Ali Abunimah - The Electronic Intifada - For those who held negative views of Israel influence in the world, the foreign policy of the Israeli State is by some distance the main reason explaining their negative rating (45%).-rh | | | `Nakba Day`? Not in our classroom
