Palästinensischer Minister stirbt nach Angriff israelischer Soldaten
Ein palästinensischer Minister ist nach einem Angriff israelischer Soldaten im Westjordanland gestorben. Siad Abu Ain (55) habe bei Auseinandersetzungen in einem Dorf nördlich von Ramallah Tränengas eingeatmet, erklärte der Leiter eines örtlichen Krankenhauses am Mittwoch.

Note: not, the Nazification of Judaism, my religion, that of my parents, ancestors, from the shtetlach of Russia, a religion I revere for its secular associations with struggle for the underdog, devotion to working people and the poor, emancipation of thought about/specific participation in the achievement of, racial equality; for its cultural associations with beauty in all its affirming-of-life qualities, whether in literature, philosophy, painting, especially for me, music; its religious associations with moral principles imparted by Torah, love of the stranger, implicit sharing of bounty, authenticity of mindset concerning devotion and faith. Also, not the Nazification of Zionism, for while I believe Zionism has proven to be a colonialist-imperialist ideology, that was not always the case, and in its earlier stages perhaps still in the Yishuv the manifestation of labor radicalism rooted in the kibbutz. But rather, the Nazification of Israel, which has, I believe, corrupted, shamed, distorted, betrayed Judaism in all its historical reaching heavenward in the praising of God and its secular and cultural aspirations to freedom and democracy, in contrast to Israels own militarization of religion through arrogance, hubris, superiority complex, leading to contemptuous disregard of all that stands in its wayeven the kibbutz integrated into the security system which feeds on population displacement and unimpeded fury directed to the Enemy, within as well as without.
Israel and Mideast armament: Gods may do what cattle may not
We are a country without limits, not even the sky. Could one imagine a Syrian bombing of an arms shipment being unloaded at Haifa Port? It would be immediate grounds for war, of course.

Revisiting the British conquest of Jerusalem
On December 11, 1917, a mere two days after the above letter was written, British General Edmund Allenby entered Jerusalem triumphantly through the Jaffa gate, and the city became an occupied territory. On this historic occasion, Allenby reportedly declared that "the wars of the crusades are now complete". Allenby's statement is a powerful reminder that the British entry into Jerusalem was a continuation of and a "successful" conclusion to the Crusades. Certainly, Allenby's statement introduces a critical epistemic connection between the modern British colonial project in Palestine and the Crusades of the 11-14th century.

When will Palestinians learn? Turning to international law isn't the answer just ask America and Israel
If Palestine's request is 'entirely counterproductive', what does that make Israel's slaughtering of civilians last summer?
Ein schwerer Wintersturm, der in letzte Woche die Region östlich des Mittelmeers heimsucht . Im Gazastreifen, wo nach letzte israelische angreiffen in Gaza , weiter mehr als 100.000 Menschen nicht in ihre durch Bombardements zerstörten oder beschädigten Wohnungen zurückkehren konnten, ging am Mittwoch und Donnerstag heftiger Eisregen nieder. Sturmböen und Hagelschauer peitschten um die Notunterkünfte.
Weil das einzige Kraftwerk in dem Küstenstreifen aus Brennstoffmangel nur sechs Stunden pro Tag Strom liefert, sitzen die Menschen bei Kerzenschein und mit Holzfeuern in ihren Zelten und provisorischen Hütten, die sie mit Sandsäcken gegen eindringendes Wasser schützen. Nur etwas komfortabler haben es die 17.000 Flüchtlinge, die weiter in UN-Schulräumen leben.
The story of Morocco's Jewish community told from the perspective of those who have left, stayed or are now returning.
Jews first began to settle in Morocco over 2,000 years ago and for centuries they and Muslims have happily co-existed there. Morocco was once home to the largest Jewish community in the Arab world and at its peak had a quarter of a million Jews. But after Israel was founded in 1948, things changed. Fear that Morocco's eventual independence from France would lead to the persecution of the country's Jews, plus a desire to bolster Israel's population, led to a large-scale emigration movement.
Moroccan Jews were persuaded to leave their homes and move to Israel. Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, played a key role in convincing thousands of Moroccan Jews that they were in danger and covertly facilitated their departure.
According to Fanny Mergui, a political activist and Moroccan Jew returnee, the community felt "very threatened." She says "Zionist propaganda was very intense." Some Jews resisted the Mossad initiative and stayed in Morocco, but most left. Today, only about 2,000 Jews remain.
For those who left, their new life in Israel was not necessarily what they had imagined and many felt marginalised there. Even today, their ties to Morocco remain strong.

Der frühere Parlamentsabgeordnete Taleb al-Sana, Vorsitzender des Dachverbands aller arabisch-israelischen Gruppierungen, erklärte, alle Schulen und Geschäfte in den arabischen Gemeinden und Stadtteilen würden den ganzen Tag über geschlossen. Der Ausstand betraf vor allem Galiläa im Norden und die Negevwüste im Süden des Landes, die beiden Hauptsiedlungsgebiete der arabischen Minderheit waren auch Demostrationen in Tel Aviv , Haifa ,.. http://www.alternativenews.org/english/index.php/news/392-protests-over-killing-of-palestinians-in-israel

Rahat ist eine für Beduinen errichtete Neustadt in der Negevwüste mit fast 60.000 Einwohnern. Die Polizei erklärte, es werde noch ermittelt, ob der tödliche Schuss von der Polizei oder von Anwohnern abgegeben wurde. Am Sonntag kam es nach der Beerdigung des Toten Ein 47-Jähriger starb an Herzversagen, nachdem er von der Polizei eingesetztes Tränengas eingeatmet hatte.

After police killings, anger simmers in Negev Bedouin villages
The killing of two Bedouin youths in southern Israel by police over the last week has shocked the nation's Palestinian community and has brought storms of protest across the country.
The killing of Sami al-Jaar, 22, last Tuesday during a raid on Rahat triggered a strong reaction across the Arab communities of the Negev, and his funeral reportedly drew 10,000. When Israeli police cars drove into the funeral march, they found themselves pelted with rocks.
Police subsequently opened fire on mourners with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets, and in the ensuing melee Sami al-Zayadna, 45, fell dead in the crowd. Leaders of the 1.7 million Palestinian citizens of Israel -- of whom the Bedouins are a part -- declared a national strike in response, expanding the scope of the battle with authorities from the isolated villages of the Negev to the entire country.
Palestinian students and institutes of higher education were disproportionately impacted by Israel's summer attack on the Gaza Strip, according to a new report by UNESCO.
'Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism,' Rules German Judge
A German judge last week equated condemnation of Zionism with anti-Semitism, undercutting the arguments of many who claim that hostile criticism of Israel is not the same as hating the Jews.
In judging the case of 24-year-old Taylan Can, a German citizen of Turkish decent known for is anti-Israel activism, Judge Gauri Sastry refused to allow the defendant to hide behind the notion of legitimate criticism of the Jewish state.
