International solidarity efforts continue 12 years after killing of Rachel #Corrie

2015-03-15T06:31:00.000-07:00

Rachel Corrie was killed by an IDF bulldozer, aged just 23, as she stood in front of it to prevent from demolishing a Palestinian home

Protests by international solidarity activists against Israel's military occupation continue 12 years after the killing of Rachel Corrie. The young woman was crushed by an Israel Defence Forces armoured bulldozer in 2003 as she tried to prevent the demolition of Palestinian homes. Speaking to Anadolu, a number of solidarity activists stressed that they look upon the young American as a hero; a great example of someone dedicated to the struggle for Palestinian rights.

According to one 24-year-old Frenchwoman taking part in the weekly anti-Israel protest in the village of Al-Nabi Saleh, it is "unnatural" to be there. "But being here is important as I am taking part in the Palestinians' lives and writing notes about a detained nation here."

** АВТОРСКИ АНАЛИЗ НА РАЛИЦА ТРИФОНОВА ***

Последната война в Ивицата Газа е още един епизод от една дълга поредица от събития, в която за изминалите десет години на всеки две години между „Хамас” и Израел има сериозен сблъсък. Всяка от страните влезе в тази война с определени цели и, разбира се, с намеренията да я спечели. Ако се съди по изявленията на официалните представители в Тел Авив и Газа, и едните, и другите са победители. Фактите обаче показват, че това не е съвсем така.

Предвестниците на бурята
Първият знак за назряващ катаклизъм беше несъгласието на Израел с помирението на „Фатах” и „Хамас” и формирането на правителство на национално съгласие в края на април т.г. Към онзи момент за никого вече не беше тайна, че мирните преговори с Израел, водени от екипа на президента Аббас, са пълен провал. САЩ и ЕС изразиха готовност да работят с новото правителство. Това предизвика острата реакция на Израел, който отказа да приеме, че политическа формация, подкрепяна от „Хамас”, може да бъде призната за легитимна от международната общност. Провокациите бяха очаквани, особено ако припомним ескалацията на напрежението през есента на 2009 г., когато отново се водеха преговори между двете основни палестински движения, а насилието от страна на заселниците и израелската армия около джамията „ал-Акса” в Йерусалим стана повод да се заговори за трета интифада.

Усмихнете се! Вие сте в Газа – най-големият затвор на света!” – това е надпис от плакат, разположен в магазин за сувенири във фоайето на един от най-лъскавите хотели в град Газа, построен на няколко минути път с кола от бежанския лагер, в който се намира домът на бившия министър-председател Исмаил Хания. За разлика от обикновените затвори, за да живееш в Ивицата Газа, не е нужно да си извършил престъпление. Достатъчно е да си палестинец, който не иска да напусне дома и земята си.

A huge fireball erupts following Israeli air strikes in the east of Gaza City(Reuters)

The US has confirmed it resupplied Israel with weapons and ammunition which could be used during the conflict in Gaza.

The news comes soon after the US condemned an attack on a United Nations (UN) school in Gaza in which at least 16 Palestinians were killed.

Since the 1990s, the US has kept a stockpile of arms inside Israel known as the War Reserves Stock Allies-Israel (WRSA-I), which Israel can use in emergencies.

Urgent: ISM volunteers in Gaza trapped in Beit Hanoun Hospital

2014-07-25T14:42:00.000-07:00

PRESS RELEASE ISM

At 19:00 Beit Hanoun Hospital was hit by an Israeli tank shell. Inside the hospital are 61 medical staff, civilians, three patients and two ISM volunteers Charlie Andreasson and Fred Ekblad from Sweden, who are all trapped inside.

Israeli soldiers are in the area, approximately 150 meters behind the hospital. Gunfire can be heard in the area.

We need you to call your own representatives to demand that they fulfill their obligation to insure that Israel adheres to international law and immediately cease to target medical staff and facilities.

Some phone numbers are provided below.

Background: Medical teams under fire
international volunteers, including some from Sweden, the U.S., and the UK, went to Beit Hanoun in North Gaza to accompany ambulances fallowing the targeting of an ambulance in Beit Hanoun this afternoon by Israeli forces. The Israeli attack on the ambulance killed one paramedic and the critical injury of another

This is the second Israeli attack on Gazan medical facilities and personnel in the last 24 hours. The first resulted in the destruction of Al Durrah Children’s Hospital in Gaza City last night. A two year-old child in the Intensive Care Unit was killed, and 30 others injured.

Due to shelling nearby, Beit Hanoun hospital has evacuated most of its patients to al-Shifa Hospital. Three patients remain in the hospital.

Since Israel began its attack on Gaza, 13 ambulances have been completely destroyed and two paramedics have been killed. Throughout the massacre, medical staff and facilities have been repeatedly targeted.

“Israel’s attacks on Gaza hospitals are ongoing, with those in areas by the separation barrier forced to evacuate their patients, paramedics and other rescue workers are doing what they can under conditions of great risk.” Stated Joe Catron, U.S. International Solidarity Movement activist.

According to the Gazan Ministry of Health, six out of Gaza’s 13 hospitals have already been severely damaged. One, el-Wafa rehabilitation hospital, has been completely destroyed. Two medical clinics have been completely destroyed, seven other clinics have been damaged, 13 medical staff members have been injured, and five have been killed.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has demanded, “the immediate cessation of Israeli occupation military attacks against medical facilities and personnel in Gaza, and demands that the international community soundly condemn this latest Israeli atrocity, and hold Israel accountable for these war crimes.”

Sinéad O’Connor, an artist willing to put principles ahead of money. (Man Alive!)

vividly recall the first time I saw Sinéad O’Connor live. She looked shy and fragile as she walked onstage. And then she began her song “Troy,” whispering to us one second; screaming at us the next. It was enchanting and haunting.

That was 26 years ago. Ever since then, I’ve admired O’Connor as a woman of talent and courage. So I felt a bit hurt when she rejected me in a distinctly twenty-first century manner last month: by blocking me on Twitter.

All I had done was to ask politely that she cancel a gig in Israel.

Human rights and corporate responsibility prompt a US church to divest from companies doing business with Israel.

Rights groups warn that sales of Caterpillar bulldozers to Israel could violate Palestinians' human rights [GALLO/GETTY]

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to pressure Israel to comply with international law and end its military occupation of Palestinian territories, has garnered significant institutional and governmental support in recent years.

Much of its growth has been in Europe, but the BDS movement is also gaining momentum in mainstream USA.

The Presbyterian Church (USA) voted in June to divest from three companies doing business with Israel: Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions, and Hewlett-Packard.

The three were targeted for selling equipment used to facilitate Israel’s illegal activities on occupied land, highlighting yet again the question of corporate responsibility regarding international law and human rights.

#GazaUnderAttack | #Egypt turns back Tunisian plane loaded with medical supplies for #Gaza

TUNIS, (PIC)– Head of Tunisia’s al-Nahda party Rashid al-Ghannoushi revealed on Monday night that Egypt has refused to receive a Tunisian plane bound for Gaza loaded with medicines and medical supplies.

Al-Ghannoushi told Al-Jazeera TV network that the Egyptian authorities had refused to allow the plane to land at the airport nearest to the Gaza Strip, pointing out that it was carrying medical supplies badly needed in the beleaguered Strip.

The plane was supposed to fly back injured people who sustained serious wounds during the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza to receive treatment in Tunisia, he explained.

Tunisian president Moncef Marzouki had declared a week ago his country’s intention to send a plane carrying medicines and medical supplies for Gaza Strip.

BEIRUT – All of Lebanon’s main television channels are to broadcast simultaneously on Monday a bulletin in support of Gazans in the face of an Israeli military offensive that has killed hundreds.

The unusual protest named “Palestine… You are not alone” brings together networks with radically different views, including the official TeleLiban, Hezbollah’s Al-Manar, LBC, MTV and NBN.

They will broadcast at 8:10 pm (1710 GMT) an identical report on the humanitarian dimension of Israel’s two-week assault on the Gaza Strip, which has cost the lives of more than 500 Palestinians.

Saudi preacher Sheikh Aidh Al-Qarni emphasised the importance of supporting the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the resistance, stressing that it is a religious duty.Speaking to Palestinian newspaper Al-Resalah Net, Al-Qarni said whoever constricts the resistance is a “sinner” from a religious point of view. He called upon Egypt and all the Arabs to immediately open the Rafah Crossing as a “religious and humanitarian duty”.

He stressed that the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip will be victorious and it would change the equation of the whole region. “Any of the Arabs who conspire against the Strip will go down in history as being a disgrace,” he said.

Al-Qarni said that all the nations in the region stand with the Palestinian issue.
