| The benevolent bureaucrats of military occupation | | Maureen Clare Murphy - EI - "Israeli occupation bureaucrats shamelessly
exploit Palestinian patients from Gaza to present their military rule over a
besieged people as benign or even benevolent" [ry] | 31/12/2018 |

| Gaza Christians Obstructed from Travelling to Bethlehem | | IMEMC News - "According to local sources, the Christians, who form a minority
in Gaza, annually apply for `holiday permits` to the West Bank, however, most of
the time Israeli authorities purposely file permits for the parents and not the
children, or, in other cases, for the mother and not the father" [ry] | 24/12/2018 |

| Chasing dreams outside Gaza’s walls | | Hamza Abu Eltarabesh - EI - “Traveling is a distant dream for most people in
Gaza. Gaza’s economy is in freefall: there is widespread poverty, little hope, no
prospects and the regular bouts of violence affects everyone. The sheer
enormity of people’s situation here means thoughts of leaving are uppermost in
the minds of many, especially the young and ambitious” [ry] | 24/12/2018 |

| The left-right debate in Israel is over the speed of colonization, not how to end it | | Jonathan Ofir -
Mondoweiss
"In a recent interview with TV host Avri Gilad one of the
organization’s leaders, Uzi Arad, former head of the Institute for
National Security Studies, laid out the group’s vision and said they
hope the campaign is “hitting the awareness” of people. The vision
is the notion that the ‘Jewish and democratic’ state is under threat
– a demographic threat. The whole discussion is framed against the
notion of a possible annexation of Area C of the West Bank, which
comprises more than 60% of the area, surrounding some 165
Palestinian enclaves in a Bantustanized archipelago. This area C
under full Israeli control is a design of the Oslo Accords of the
mid 1990’s. Prominent proponents of its immediate annexation are
people such as Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Education Minister
Naftali Bennett (both Jewish Home party), who are to the right of
Netanyahu. These areas have contained an estimated 300,000
Palestinians in a UN count of 2014, and it is likely close to
350,000 by today. Shaked says that Israel can afford ‘absorbing’
this population." ca | 15/12/2018 |

| No Dramatic Makeover Can Turn Abu Dis Into the Capital of Palestine | | JONATHAN COOK - Washington Report on Middle East Affairs - Any visitor
venturing to this small West Bank town is confronted by a vast expanse
of 26-feet-high concrete slabs—Israel’s so-called separation wall.
Sections are charred black by fires residents set years ago in the
hope of weakening the structure and bringing it down. Before the wall
was erected more than a decade ago, Abu Dis had a spectacular view
across the valley to Jerusalem’s Old City and the iconic golden-topped
Dome of the Rock, little more than half a mile away. It was a few
minutes’ drive—or an hour’s hike—to al-Aqsa, the third holiest mosque
in Islam, or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the reputed site of
Jesus’ crucifixion. Now for many of the 13,000 inhabitants, Jerusalem
might as well be on another planet. They can no longer reach its holy
places, shops, schools or hospitals.-rh | 11/12/2018 |

| For Palestinian children in Gaza, an education in conflict | | Todd Pitman, AP - Yahoo! - “Of the 175 Palestinians killed so far, at least 34
were 18 or under, according to an Associated Press count. Gaza`s Health
Ministry says 2,295 minors have been hospitalized, 17 of whom have had a
limb amputated; at least 5,124 have been injured in all” [ry] | 10/12/2018 |
