Video - Harsh conditions persist at checkpoints where Palestinian laborers enter IsraelB`Tselem - "Many laborers arrived at the checkpoint even before 12:30 A.M., and there were very long lines by 3:30 A.M. There were insufficient inspection lanes for the number of people wishing to go through the checkpoint. The researchers were told that some of the people in line are sent for an additional inspection procedure conducted in designated rooms that are overcrowded and have neither chairs nor any air conditioning" 28/10/2013

Childhood DeniedYousef Munayyer - IMEMC "Atta, an unarmed Palestinian refugee of 12 years who just wanted his school bag back was shot in the stomach.

The shot damaged his liver, lungs, pancreas and spleen and has left him paralyzed from the waist down.What possible explanation could there be for this barbaric act? Defense for Children International, an NGO that works to document and advocate on behalf of children’s rights, noted on this incident:"Eyewitness reports show that the situation was calm, that no clashes were taking place at the time and there was no “mortal danger” to Israeli forces that would allow the use of live ammunition." ca4/10/2013

While there was no massive turnout of protestors last Friday, Palestine watchers are keeping an eye on such youth-led initiatives to monitor signs of a Third Intifada.Few if any are paying attention to the peace talks that resumed in August after a five-year lull." ca4/10/2013

But I have a particular distaste for 443, the secondary route, a highway built on layers of deception"8/10/2013

Jerusalem’s system of checkpoints inside Palestinian neighborhoods of the holy cityAllison Deger - Mondoweiss - Welcome to a-Zeitim crossing, one of the newer divisions inside of Jerusalem. Although hailed as an undivided capital, where Jewish-Israelis can trot from neighborhood to neighborhood, increasingly intractable metal is constructed between Palestinian localities. Like plantar warts, these checkpoints spread on the ridges and lowlands, hidden unless I look for them.-rh23/10/2013
