| Above the Law | | Adalah - the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel - "Dr. Azmi Bishara stated last weekend that, “We have never hurt any human being and we have never carried guns. Our only weapons are our pens and our voices. But in the Knesset there were and still are criminals who take pride in the killing of Arabs.” In just one example of many, in spite of judicial confirmation that Ehud Yatom, who was an MK from 2003 to 2006, bears responsibility for the killing of the hijackers of Bus #300, he was not indicted or put on trial for these serious crimes. This is how the GSS operates “above the law”. | 30/4/2007 |

| Toward the next 60 years | | Amos Schocken - Haaretz - The fulfillment of a dream is not a reason to replace an anthem, but "Hatikvah" has an obvious practical disadvantage: It addresses only Jews. (...) On its 60th birthday, it would be desirable if the Arab citizens of Israel were not alienated from the state`s day of celebration. Hasn`t the time come to recognize that the establishment of Israel is not just the story of the Jewish people, of Zionism, of the heroism of the Israel Defense Forces and of bereavement? That it is also the story of the reflection of Zionism and the heroism of IDF soldiers in the lives of the Arabs: the Nakba - the Palestinian "Catastrophe," as the Arabs call the events of 1948 - the loss, the families that were split up, the disruption of lives, the property that was taken away, the life under military government and other elements of the history shared by Jews and Arabs, which are presented on Independence Day, and not only on that day, in an entirely one-sided way. | 21/4/2007 |

| Normalising injustice | | Arthur Neslen - "In the 1970s, when beachfront property prices began to rise, Tel Aviv`s Mayor, Shlomo "Cheech" Lahat, announced a policy of "Judaising" Jaffa. Building permits in Ajami were frozen and ongoing demolitions funnelled residents into the slums of Lyd and Ramle. Many of the 15,000-20,000 Palestinian-Israelis who stayed in Jaffa were forced to build extensions to their family houses without permits. This practice is now being used as the excuse for a new wave of the sort of soulless gentrification and transfer that has hollowed out Jaffa`s old town.
Much of the land reclaimed by house demolitions invariably gets sold on for luxury developments like the gated community of Andromeda Hill, "a virtual `city within a city` surrounded by a wall and secured 24 hours a day." ` | 3/4/2007 |
