| Israel Razes Makeshift Palestinian Settlement, but Keeps Jewish One | | Yotam Berger - Haaretz - Israelis moved into that Jordan Valley outpost near the settlement of Salit a few weeks ago in a similar tent camp, but were not removed by the army.
The IDF dispersed the Palestinians a few hours after they had first put up their tents; the military says the Palestinians had demonstrated illegally.
But a Haaretz reporter present during the eviction saw no disturbance or demonstration; the Palestinians were dispersed while they were eating lunch in a tent.

| Creating a legal precedent: Palestine considers suing Israel in international sports court | | James M. Dorsey - Redress Information - Jibril Rajoub, President of
the PFA (Palestinian Football Association) is demanding that six
clubs based in Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank be
forbidden from taking part in the Israeli Football League. This
demand is in accordance with the rules of FIFA, the International
Football Federation, which forbid clubs from the territory of one
national football association (in this case, the PFA) from taking
part in the games of another national association. However, FIFA has
so far hesitated to enforce its own rules, and the efforts of
Israeli sport lobbyists were tacitly helped behind the scenes by
Saudi Arabia amd the Gulf Emirates. Should FIFA fails to take more
decisive action at its next council meeting in January 2017, Rajoub
plans to take legal recourse and take the case to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the highest authority in the world of
international sports. [ak] | 8/11/2016 |

| Amos Oz: Those who were dubbed `traitors` are in time shown to be trailblazers | | Ilana Curiel - Y-Net - “People want to feel good and Breaking the Silence
interferes with that. It`s very human,
I do not mock this feeling" said writer Amos Oz. "I want our
adversaries to ponder that moral force is not a luxury but an
existential matter. One of the few remaining reasons to feel good as
Israelis is that there are organizations such as Breaking the
Silence and B`Tselem and Peace Now." Oz was speaking at a ceremony at Be`er Sheva University, where Breaking the Silence was
awarded an alternative cash prize after the university administration
denied them the Berelson Coexistence Prize. Outside a group
of extreme right militants were shouting abuse and chanting "We love
the IDF!" in which they were joined by members of Ya`ir Lapid`s
"centrist" party. [ak] | 8/11/2016 |
