Marwan Barghouti remains Fatah’s only hope of defeating Hamas | | Public Opinion Poll No 58 (by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research) - In the context of the current escalation, two thirds support stabbing attacks against Israelis. Half of the public believes that the current confrontations will escalate into an armed intifada. If so, two thirds believe that the armed intifada will serve Palestinian national interests in ways that negotiations could not.
Findings also indicate a growing rejection of the two-state solution. Similarly, two thirds believe that the two-state solution is no longer viable due to settlement expansion, and three quarters believe that the chances for the establishment of a Palestinian state next to the state of Israel in the next five years are slim or none existing.

The ghettoization of Israel`s `mixed cities` | | Daniel Monterescu--. . .For Ramle’s Jewish residents it is — the “ghetto.” This is the common term in use.

But after spending two hours with Ali Bin Hasan of the district, we realized that indeed the Arab neighborhood is like a “ghetto.” Not so much for the Jews outside it as for the Arabs in it.

ACRI`s Knesset Roundup | | ACRI - administrative orders are made according to privileged material. The level of danger posed by the person is estimated, as a rule, based on their previous actions or intentions attributed to them, without asking the state to prove those same actions or intent beyond a reasonable doubt, in accordance with a fair criminal trial. Administrative orders and detentions are therefore unacceptable alternatives to ordinary criminal proceedings. These orders make it possible to restrict a person`s freedom for months or years without due process and without allowing them the basic right to defend themselves against the charge made against them.-rh | 16/12/2015 |
