| Stand with Conscientious objector Hallel Rabin! | | Yesh Gvul - Conscientious objector Hallel Rabin was sent to the
military prison because of her refusal to join an army of occupation
which oppresses the Palestinians.
She has asked - and fully deserves - for public support for her
struggle.
The army`s method of dealing with refusers and conscientious
objectors (male or female alike) is incremental sentences of a month
at a time,
After each term the objector is again ordered to enlist, refuses
again and is sent again to prison.
Hallel Rabin is now undergoing the third such one-month term, and
many more can follow,
Using this method enables the army to avoid a court martial which
would be held in public and where the defendant can be represented
by a lawyer and call witnesses.
Instead, the cumulative one-month terms are issued at "instant
trials" held in camera at an officer`s bureau and lasting about five
minutes.
`Mesarvot` and `Yesh Gvul` invite the public to attend a protest
vigil in support of Hallel and decrying her incarceration,

| Refuser Hallel Rabin en route to a prolonged stay in the military prison | | Refuser Solidarity Network - Hallel Rabin, an 18 years old kibbutz
girl, had declared her refusal to join the Israeli army and was
immediately subjected to the army`s "cumulative imprisonment" system
- i.e. a term lasting a few weeks, followed by another several
weeks and another and another, which altogether might add up to a
long time behind bars. "We are living in a period of both change and
struggle. Everywhere in the world, young people are fighting for
real democracy, and are using civil disobedience to combat racism
and injustice. In the territories occupied by Israel, basic human
rights and liberties are constantly denied, while the Palestinian
are deprived of the freedom to live freely. I was raised on the
values of freedom, compassion and love. Fighting to keep another
nation enslaved contradicts these values. While I know my refusal
is small and personal, I wish to be the change I want to see in the
world, and to show that another way is possible. Little people make
big changes. It is time to shout: There is no such thing as good
repression, no such thing as justifiable racism and no more room for
the Israeli occupation." [ak] | 20/10/2020 |

| October 4-10: The never-ending story, settler harassments all over the West Bank | | Taayush - Gangs of settlers, massively aided by Israeli soldiers and
police,attacked Palestinian shepherds, farmers and property
throughout the West Bank this week: 6 olive harvesters attacked in
Huwarra were wounded, and the olive grove set on fire; The Israeli
army hurled teargas canisters to protect an incursion of settlers
into the Palestinian village of Bourin, where two children were hurt
and homes were damaged; an entire olive grove was destroyed in
Qawawis; settlers` dogs caused destruction and death in a flock of
sheep near Umm Zaitouna, and the person arrested and still under
arrest is the attacked Palestinian shepherd; an incursion by
settlers into a privately-owned Palestinian land in the village of
Deir Istiya, where they rebuilt a ‘wading pool’ at the same spot
where the Civil Administration had demolished their previous attempt
– ended with the arrest of the Palestinian landowner and an activist
who accompanied him; all this happened behind the silence curtain of
the Israeli media, who have consistently ignored all the reports
from the ground.[ak] | 13/10/2020 |

| The Israeli merchants of death flying drones off Britain’s coastline | | Asa Winstanley - MEMO - “Elbit is Israel’s largest private arms firm and is
infamous for its killer drones. The Hermes 900 is a massive piece of military-
grade equipment, more or less the size of a conventional fighter aircraft. [...] Elbit
proudly advertises its wares as `battle-tested` on Palestinians” [ry] | 12/10/2020 |

| Human rights defenders sue German parliament over anti-BDS resolution | | Adri Nieuwhof - EI - “Before the Bundestag adopted its anti-BDS resolution,
dozens of Jewish and Israeli scholars warned the German parliament not to
label supporters of Palestinian human rights as anti-Semitic. They stated that
moves to label BDS as anti-Semitic were ‘promoted by Israel’s most right-wing
government in history’ as part of an effort to ‘delegitimize any discourse about
Palestinian rights and any international solidarity with the Palestinians’” [ry] | 12/10/2020 |

| Seventy six days on hunger strike! Free Administrative detainee Maher al Akhras NOW! | | We appeal to you, requesting urgent intervention to save the life of
the administrative detainee Maher al-Akhras, since all contacts for
his release have come to naught. Al-Akhras is in dire straits, on
the 76th day of his hunger strike.
Al-Akhras is entitled to the basic human right: to know what he is
accused of and to be able to respond to the accusations. If there
are no charges, he must be released immediately. This right is given
to every person in Israel, and to every person in a free society.
Why would al-Akhras not be entitled to this basic right? The State
of Israel has made the administrative detentions, which allow it to
imprison people without a release date, and without an indictment, a
tool used against Palestinians in an arbitrary and common way.
Al-Akhras, a father of six from Jenin, is on hunger strike in
protest of his administrative detention. [ak] | 11/10/2020 |

| Columbia University students vote to boycott Israeli companies which benefit from the occupation | | BDS movement - At a referendum, the Columbia University students
voted 61% in favor of divesting from companies that are complicit
with Israeli crimes against Palestinians, which 27% of students
rejected this move and 11% abstained. The referendum, which was
passed last week, recommended the university “divest its stocks,
funds and endowment from companies that profit from or engage in the
State of Israel’s acts towards Palestinians that fall under the
United Nations International Convention on the Suppression and
Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.” Columbia is the largest
American academic institution to date whose students pass such a
resolution. However, the university administration which controls
its finances and investments is not obliged to abide by the student
referendum results. [ak]

| Ariel U. study rejected because author refused to remove `written in Israel` | | Tzvi Joffre - Jerusalem Post - Dr. Mindy Levine from Ariel
University submitted a paper to the science journal "Molecules",
giving her address as "Ariel, Israel". A group of chemists from
around the world noted Ariel is located in occupied territory and
not in Israel. The group is led by Prof. George Smith, winner of the
2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and Prof. Malcolm Levitt, a fellow of
London`s Royal Society. The editors of "Molecules" asked Levine to
remove the word Israel from the address at the head of the study,
and at her refusal the journal canceled publication of the study.
“All that was asked of Dr. Mindy Levine was that she be more exact
with facts. Ariel is not part of the State of Israel. That is not a
political statement, it is a simple fact,” said Gush Shalom movement
spokesman Adam Keller. “Ariel is not part of the State of Israel,
not according to international law and also not according to the
laws of the State of Israel itself.” A full legal process, including
a decision by the government and the passing of an annexation law by
the Knesset, would need to be carried out for Ariel to be considered
part of Israel. “A process such as this has never been carried out
concerning Ariel”. [ak] | 6/10/2020 |
