You dehumanise them just so you can say no at a checkpoint. But the
next time you`re in a situation where you have to push them it`ll be
easy enough for you to push them. And then when you have to shoot
them, it`ll be easy enough for you to shoot them.” Sahar Vardi,
Israeli activist." ca

| British court allows councils to boycott Israel | | Ben Jamal - The Guardian - In September last year the UK government
announced a new guidance, prohibiting local government pension
schemes from pursuing “divestment and sanctions against foreign
nations and UK defence industries" - i.e. the boycott of Israel. The
Palestine Solidarity Campaign, of which I’m the director, decided to
take the government to court. I found myself in a sweaty room in the
Royal Courts of Justice, packed with fellow Palestine activists,
listening to detailed and sometimes arcane legal arguments about
pension law. Finally, on 22 June, we got the verdict – we won! Judge
Sir Ross Cranston ruled the government "guidance" was unlawful and
that the government had acted for an improper purpose.[ak] | 27/6/2017 |

Tablet Magazine
"Six months ago, a coalition of Palestinian organizations and left-
wing Jewish American groups decided to take up Aamar’s cause. On May
19, 300 activists arrived on the site and set up the “Sumud” Freedom
Camp, Arabic for “steadfastness.” The group, which included 130
volunteers with the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, erected tents and
began clearing rubble from the abandoned caves, preparing them for
repopulation." ca | 23/6/2017 |

| LGBTQ Israelis come out against occupation and homophobia | | Yael Marom - +972 - We are not prepared for the state to continue cynically using our identity in order to portray itself as an enlightened country, as all the while the occupation continues undisturbed, people are thrown out of their homes and into the street in Givat Amal and Umm al-Hiran, asylum seekers are sent to jail, and demonstrations are violently suppressed.

| Celebrate the end of Apartheid | | Jewish Voice for Peace - Youtube Video - Yesterday was New York’s annual “Celebrate Israel Parade.”
But while Palestinians are denied their freedom, what is there to celebrate?
So with JVPers and friends, we did something about it-- and you have to see it.
Over 100 activists, seven of whom were arrested for civil disobedience, stopped and slowed the parade over and over again with a vision of what we can celebrate: ending Israeli Apartheid and the #DeadlyExchange between US and Israeli police and military.
One group blocked New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and his contingent, protesting the New York Police Department’s collaboration with Israeli security forces, an exchange of worst practices that harm Palestinians as well as communities of color in the US.
Another group of queer Jews staged a sit in disrupting the LGBTQ contingent, holding signs saying “No pride in apartheid” and “Queer Jews for a free Palestine.”

| 5 June 2017: Today is no ordinary day | | B`tselem - Reporting the truth combined with international action that resonates locally are what may bring about a non-violent resolution to the present reality: this is the objective we are committed to and are working towards. Otherwise, the violence of the past half century - both organized and spontaneous - might be just a preview of much more to come.
The effort to achieve a different future here is not only a pressing moral task. [bz]
