| Five Days after Demolition: Picking Up the Pieces | | International Solidarity Movement - Palestinian flags fluttered over
the rubble of Mohammad al Dababsh’s home in the South Hebron Hills,
this week, as local activists helped the family put up a a tarpaulin
tent as a temporary
shelter. Pots and pans lay scattered amongst bricks, metal and dust
– the only remnants left of the two-roomed house which was
demolished on Monday. The tent was cold and
dark, the solar panels that once supplied energy to the house now
destroyed or confiscated by soldiers. In
stark contrast, the illegal settlement of Havat Maon glared in the
distance. ‘The settlers have big homes, running water and
electricity,’ a member of the committee told ISM. ‘This family just
has a tent.’[ak]

| Conquer and Divide: Tens of thousands explore interactive map | | Hagai El-Ad - B’Tselem - Just a few days ago, we launched the
interactive project Conquer and Divide: a series of maps
illustrating what it is exactly that Israel has done in the Occupied
Territories since 1967. We got a deluge of positive responses. In
only a handful of days, tens of thousands of people around the world
have explored the maps on their cellphones or computers. People must
know the facts – so that we can together demand an entirely
different future. [ak] | 11/6/2019 |

| Ashkenazi petition against Israeli State-Nation Law | | Eitan Bronstein Aparicio - We refuse to inhabit the privileged position allocated to us. We demand a full equality for all the residents of this country. The petition argues that the law discriminates against the non-Jewish - mainly Palestinian - citizens of Israel, as elaborated in a similar petition submitted by Adalah. Furthermore, the petition supports the petition of some 60 Mizrahi Israelis who argued that the law discriminates against Jews of Arab extraction as it degrades the Arabic language to that of a "special status".

| Drama on the tarmac - Palestinian professor`s deportation averted at the last moment | | Ali Abunima - The Electronic Initifada - On Wednesday morning, a
private jet chartered by the US government landed in Tel Aviv. On
board was Abdelhaleem Ashqar, a Palestinian business professor who
ran for the presidency of the Palestinian Authority in 2005. US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were attempting to
secretly deport him to Israel, which would then transfer him to the
West Bank. But contrary to the plan, the aircraft was met by a US
embassy official who told the ICE agents on board that they could
not hand Ashqar over. Pursuant to an emergency order issued by a
federal judge back in Virginia, Ashqar had to remain on the plane in
US custody. He would sit on the grounded plane for more than a day
while a legal drama unfolded back in the US - ending with his being
flown back to America, with the deportation plan foiled. [ak] | 11/6/2019 |

| SUPPORT THE FREEDOM THEATRE IN JENIN | | | 6/6/2019 |
|
| Ashkenazi petition against State-Nation Law | | Eitan Bronstein Aparicio - The new petition to the High Court of
Justice, in a bid to strike down the discriminatory "Nation-State
Law", follows upon earlier petitions lodged by the Arab Adalah
institute and by 60 Mizrahi Israelis - who argued that the law
discriminates against Jews of Arab extraction as it degrades the
Arabic language to a `special status` rather than an official
language. Specifically, the Ashkenazi Israelis who signed the
present petition add the argument that the Nation-State Law defines
them as superior to non-Jews as well as Mizrahi Jewish-Israelis: "We
refuse to inhabit the privileged position allocated to us. We demand
a full equality for all the residents of this country. We see
ourselves as the bearers of a tradition pioneered by Ashkenazi Jews
who lived in this country and mastered the Arabic language out of
respect for the language of the region, rather than the `enemy
language` which is the way it is often perceived in Israel
nowadays.There were also Jews in Europe in the 19th and early 20th
centuries who saw the studying of Arabic language and culture as an
important tool to emancipate themselves as Jews. This is the Israeli
Ashkenazi identity we wish to champion, against a racist colonial
one." [ak]

| The Freedom Theatre of Jenin | | Shaina Low & Jen Marlowe - ILA Intersections - A little boy,
approximately seven years old, leans against a light blue door
embedded in a single-story, cement-block home in Jenin camp, the
northern most refugee camp in the West Bank. “Freedom to me is the
occupation ending and the army leaving.” His political manifesto
declared, he then gets down to the real business of defining
freedom: “It is also playing snooker, hide and seek, and no one
hitting me.” Other children of Jenin refugee camp espoused similar
thoughts on freedom. First, an end to Israeli occupation (one boy
offered the chilling detail of “being able to sleep in your house
and not hiding in hospitals”), followed by more personal desires:
one girl wished to travel and learn other languages; another wanted
to pursue her hobbies of theatre, circus, and music. That is why The
Freedom Theatre (TFT) exists. Artistic Director Nabil Al-Raee
describes TFT as “a safe spot for people to express themselves and
to find their own freedom; individually and then, collectively”
