Sanders runs to left of J Street and 2020 opponents on aid to IsraelBryant Harris - Al Monitor - Four Democratic presidential candidates now support conditions on Washington’s annual $3.8 billion military aid package for Israel, but Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wants to go further than both his opponents and the liberal lobbying group J Street. J Street and at least three Democratic candidates have set a formal Israeli annexation of certain West Bank settlements as their red line for conditioning the annual military aid package. Sanders, however, issued a broader call to condition the aid on human rights and living conditions in the Gaza Strip — a line that received booming applause from the conference’s rank and file attendees. “If you want military aid, you’re going to have to fundamentally change our relationship with the people of Gaza,” Sanders said at the conference today. “In fact, I think it is fair to say that some of that $3.8 billion should go right now to humanitarian aid in Gaza.” [ak]29/10/2019

Female Hunger Striker Reveals Details of Torture in Israeli Prison SystemIMEMC News - " Al-Labadi also explained that she was interrogated for 20 consecutive hours during the first 16 days of her detention, and said that she was given only two breaks for meals, each day. She was then moved to rooms full of collaborators, who started to interrogate her; this lasted for up to 35 days, during which she was subjected to verbal, physical and psychological abuse. The Israeli interrogators, she insisted, got close to her body intentionally and used the dirtiest of words to insult her.“They also insulted Islam and Christianity,” she said, “and said that I am an extremist, and told me that they had arrested my mother and sister, and they would put me under renewable administrative detention for seven and a half years, and then release me to the West Bank, and put me under 24- hour surveillance.” ca 11/10/2019

Returning to Yaffa, but only as a ‘tourist’Mariam Barghouti - +972 "I watch the beach waves undulate back and forth in Yaffa. I hear Hebrew all around me, mixed with the laughter of youth. Men, women and children lounge under umbrellas whipping in the sea breeze. Occasionally, Arabic escapes from the mouths of Palestinians who are of the city.In 1948, after Zionist militias occupied Yaffa, a quarter of Palestinians were forced to flee. Israel’s Absentees Property Law allowed for the official confiscation of the emptied Palestinian homes and lands. Yaffa’s Old City has been turned into an Israeli artist colony. I walk feeling so foreign, yet the city is so loud with its Palestinianisms." ca 11/10/2019

After 18 months of conflict, some Gazans dare to question Hamas border protestsFares Akram - Times of Israel "... a growing number of Gazans who believe the protests have lost their way. With little to show from 18 months of demonstrations and border riots beyond the hundreds of people killed or wounded by Israeli fire, many Gazans are beginning to question and even criticize the Hamas-led protests, a rarity in a territory where dissent is barely tolerated by the Gaza rulers." ca11/10/2019
