Apartheid on Steroids | | Stephen Robert - The Nation - "As a Jew who has been an ardent supporter of Israel since its independence, it pains me to record what I saw there. […] What I witnessed in the West Bank—home to about 2.5 million Palestinians and 400,000 Israeli settlers—exceeded my worst expectations. While the world’s statesmen have dithered, Israel has created a system of apartheid on steroids, a horrifying prison with concrete walls as high as twenty-six feet, topped with body-ravaging coils of razor wire. […] From this physical segregation—one land for Israelis; another, unequal land for Palestinians—flows a torrent of misery, violence and human rights abuses" | 15/8/2011 |

450 Palestinians Blocked at Rafah Border Crossing | | Danny Johnes - IMEMC - Egyptian Authorities prevented 450 people from entering Egypt through the Rafah border crossing with Gaza on Sunday.

Still seeking victory | | Sharif Omar - Bitterlemons - And while it is important to say that Palestinians have the right to resist occupation through any means, I believe the majority of Palestinians began to oppose the attacks inside Israel because they didn`t produce the desired results. It is not accurate to say that the Wall stopped these attacks. Anyone who wants to carry out an operation can cut the fence and enter. Even now, when the soldiers aren`t at the gate, the young people are able to open its doors | 8/8/2011 |
