Orphaned Yoav Peck - Peace NGO Forum - Once again, on Saturday evening I joined “Speaking in the Square” in downtown Jerusalem. New activists joined us, the horror in Paris bringing an oppressive pall to the conversations, as furious right-wingers descended on us, screaming and shoving, coming right to the edge of violence, while our activists responded to fury with listening, quietly speaking our truth, facing down the fear and standing firm.

Palestinian campus: `A wall of fear has come down`Ylenia Gostoli - Al Jazeera - Debris and broken glass were strewn across the Al-Quds University campus in Abu Dis, evidence of one of many recent incursions by Israeli forces since October. Nearby, a group of students carrying Palestinian flags marched off towards Israel`s separation wall. A few wrapped their faces in keffiyehs and took turns hitting the wall with a sledgehammer. This has become a weekly ritual. So far, the students have managed to carve a deep hole in the concrete. Another student scaled the wall and planted a Palestinian flag at the top. Local schoolchildren joined in, throwing stones over the wall. It was not long before the Israeli army dispersed them with tear gas. [ak]24/11/2015

Senior Palestinian official refuses to give up on peace processDaoud Kuttab - Senior Palestinian leader Maj. Gen. Jibril Rajoub told Al-Monitor on Nov. 13 that the Fatah Central Committee and other factions are opposed to turning the current uprising into a military one. “There is a decision by all Palestinian factions not to militarize the popular struggle.

A lesson in anti-democracy Tami Arad - YNet News - The goal of wearing badges is to declare that foreign countries are involved in the NGOs` activities. That will make it possible to mark Israel haters, the minister believes. It will be interesting to see what color she chooses for the leftist patch. And when the Halacha laws take effect, one will also be allowed to stone leftists or find another punishment recommended in the Bible against traitors.-rh 11/11/2015

EU issues guidelines on labelling products from Israeli settlementsPeter Beaumont - The Guardian - Despite insisting in public that the new guidelines provide clarity to consumers, European diplomats have privately made it clear the move is designed to put pressure on Israel over its continued settlement building in the occupied territories and the absence of a peace dialogue; a sharp rise in violence between Israelis and Palestinians has claimed 90 lives in the last month.-rh11/11/2015

A Palestinian Call For ‘Unarmed Warfare’Jonathan Cook - Countercurrents - One of the architects of the first intifada’s non-violent resistance, Mubarak Awad, recently reminded Palestinians that it is no soft option. “It’s about using nonviolence militantly, like a kind of unarmed warfare,” he told an interviewer. He suggests instead refusing to carry Israeli-issued IDs, defying curfews, blocking roads, planting trees on sites intended for settlement, tearing down fences, staging sit-ins and and inviting mass arrests to fill to breaking point Israel’s jails. Such actions require mass participation, mobilising women, children and the elderly – the very groups likely to be excluded by armed struggle.-rh 11/11/2015

Encounters on the night streets of JerusalemYoav Peck - Peace NGOs Forum/“Speaking in the Square” - Thursday, I went down to Zion Square to do another evening with the “Speaking in the Square” team. These young folks have been at it since the war last summer. I went with their leaflet, challenging passersby to confront prejudice and inviting them to talk. I had the misfortune of engaging with Lehava supporters right off the bat, and one of them was particularly obnoxious and drunk. [But there was also] Moshe, the Moroccan Haredi, with sweet dimples beneath his beard. As we talked, and he understood that he’s talking to someone from another world, he said into my eyes, “Though you and I disagree about some things, violence is not the way, and so says the Torah.”[ak]3/11/2015
