Palestinian house to be demolished after Israeli Court reverses decision

The house of an Arab family in East Jerusalem, the Al- Kurds, is set to be demolished on Thursday after the High Court reversed its decision to allow the family to remain in their home. The decision comes after a long dispute between the family and a Jewish group who took over part of the property in 1999 claiming that the land had belonged to the Va’ad Sefaradi, a council of Rabbis, before 1948. The high court previously ruled that the settlers must leave the house and that the Al-Kurd family should remain, but no action was taken against the settlers and they remained in the house.

Palestinian fighters face “temporary” Lebanon burial

Some crept into Israel by boat, others used ladders to scale the border fence from Lebanon to attack the Jewish state. Their bodies returned to Lebanon by truck on Wednesday — part of an exchange between Israel and the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah. Most of the nearly 200 bodies due to be returned are thought to be Palestinian, killed in decades of conflict with Israel.

Iqbal Tamimi - Media manipulations: The child was called a murderer while the soldier was called a ’boy’

One of today’s main articles on the Guardian reads ’Israel exchanges Lebanese murderer for bodies of two captured soldiers’. When anyone in the English reading world sees this title and what follows in the article, he or she would immediately think that one of the persons mentioned is a vicious murderer while the others are innocent persons. This is a good example of media manipulation and steering of the public views, aiming to charge the public to hate one side and to sympathize with the other.

Watching the prisoner release in Lebanon

Somebody of my generation can only reach this conclusion: Israel has been humiliated in Lebanon in the last 2 decades, and its ability to inflict pain on Lebanon and the Lebanese without restraint or punishment (as it has done in 1950s, 1960s, 1970s) has been deterred. What Israel has said (racistly) about all Arabs (that the only language they understand is the language of force) paradoxically applies to Israel itself.
http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2008/07/watching-prisoner-release-in-lebanon.html

Of course, the New York Times is busy producing propaganda and lies on behalf of the Israeli government

I was reading their accounts of the prisoner exchange and remembering the words of the late George Carlin: why are Israeli terrorists called commandos, and why are Palestinian commandos called terrorists.

The Israel-Hizballah prisoner deal

The Israeli cabinet’s decision to strike a prisoner-exchange deal with the Hizballah movement in Lebanon — on the eve of the anniversary of the war between the two sides of 12 July-14 August 2006 — will not be remembered as one of Israel’s most glorious moments. Even its chief architect, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, has referred to the deal in terms of “sadness” and “humiliation” while it has been staunchly opposed by the heads of Israel’s internal-security agency (Shin Bet) and foreign-intelligence agency (Mossad), as well as by a number of Israeli politicians across the political spectrum. Indeed, the exchange of captives itself (or in the case of two Israeli soldiers whose seizure precipitated the 2006 war, their remains), which is planned to occur by 16-17 July 2008 at latest, can be described as a replay of what Israel’s own investigative commission into that war regarded as a historic defeat.

EXCLUSIVE-How Israeli PM wooed, and lost, Christian dollars
Olmert raised about $70,000 for the New Jerusalem Foundation at a single Christian fundraiser in Dallas in 2002. But this year, the evangelical leader who helped organise that event voiced “outrage” at Olmert’s starting talks about sharing the city with the Palestinians as part of the U.S.-backed Annapolis process. He vowed to “do everything in my power” to prevent it. Many in the evangelical movement who helped elect President George W. Bush believe Bible prophesies foretold the creation of the Israeli state and the Jewish capture of Jerusalem’s holy sites as part of a countdown to the end of the world that will include the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus.

50 percent reduction in medical licenses for a month and a half

Palestinian Minister of Health Dr. Fahti Abu Mgali is cutting the licensing fees in half for medical professionals. But they must pay fast. Beginning today anyone working in the field can pay their current licensing fees for the next years and those in arrears, but they only have until the end of August to do it. Beginning 1 September anyone who pays their licensing fee will be expected to shell out the full price. The General Director of Public Relations at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Omar An Nasser, said on Wednesday that the decision was made due to the poor economic conditions faced by all Palestinians. This is a relief move for those in the working in the medical field. The Ministry is encouraging all to pay quickly in order to take full advantage of this reprieve.

Kucinich Denounces Bush Policy on Gaza

Thank you for requesting that the Department of State respond to my letter of May 14, 2008 regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza and Israel. Your letter states that “it is Hamas’ behavior that is responsible for the current crisis, and any meaningful improvements on the ground will require Hamas to end its attacks against Israel.” This response is very troubling. The responsibility to care for the civilian population in Gaza is Israel’s, pursuant to the Fourth Geneva Convention (FGC) which defines the protection afforded civilians in times of war and military occupation. Israel’s right to national security indeed affords it the right to take action against Hamas. However that action should not and cannot amount to collective punishment as it does today. The current crisis may be exacerbated, instigated, even perpetuated by Hamas, but the responsibility for beginning and ending the humanitarian crisis is certainly not Hamas’s.
