A decade under siege: Gaza health sector nears collapse Years of Israeli siege, coupled with crippling electricity cuts, have pushed the Strip`s health system close to failure. | | William Parry - Aljazeera - As the two million Palestinian residents
of Gaza enter their 11th year under a blockade imposed by Israel and
Egypt, the many daily hardships they face are having an increasingly
adverse effect on physical and mental health, particularly for the
most vulnerable. Life for the people of Gaza has become characterised
by soaring unemployment, acute fuel shortages, electricity supply for
a couple of hours a day, a crippled water and sanitation system,
prison-like movement restrictions, and the ever-looming threat of
full-scale Israeli aggression on the horizon.-rh

Canada Park, a popular picnicking spot for Israelis, created upon the rubble of Palestinian homes | | Mersiha Gadzo - In 1972, the Canadian branch, JNF Canada, raised $15m
($90m in today’s dollars) to create Canada Park, built on top of the
demolished villages in occupied Palestine. Since then, the land has
been treated as though it is in Israel proper rather than the occupied
West Bank. The Separation Barrier prevents Palestinians living in the
occupied West Bank from accessing Canada Park, including families that
used to live on the land. A 1986 UN Special Committee reported to the
UN Secretary-General that it “considers it a matter of deep concern”
that the villagers are denied the right to return due to the
construction of Canada Park by JNF Canada.-rh

Palestinian Children’s Lives Are Shaped By 50 Years of Military Occupation Five decades of occupation have turned military violence into the norm for Palestinian children. | | Jennifer Bing - Foreign Policy In Focus - Children under 18 years old
currently represent 46 percent of the 4.68 million Palestinians living
in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (70% are under the age of 30).
This current generation has grown up in the shadow of failed
negotiations and with futures stifled by systemic discrimination,
persistent settlement expansion, blockade, and repeated military
offensives. Israeli military courts in the West Bank lack fair trials
and due process, and don’t recognize the rights of prisoners. At least
500-700 Palestinian children are held in Israeli military detention in
the West Bank every year. These children often experience abuse,
especially immediately following arrest. Over 90% of the children are
convicted in “courtrooms” housed in Israeli military bases.-rh | 14/6/2017 |

Benjamin Netanyahu to crack down on Israeli human rights groups It comes after the Prime Minister called for the dismantling of a UN agency that aids millions of refugees, accusing it of anti-Israeli incitement | | Samuel Osborne - Independent - The current law, which requires Israeli
organisations receiving a majority of their financial support from
overseas governments to disclose their funding, mainly targets human
rights groups.There are only 27 Israeli organisations that receive
more than half of their funding from foreign governments, according to
the Justice Ministry.Of those, 25 are human rights organisations.-rh | 14/6/2017 |

Israel agrees to PA request to reduce Gaza electricity Gaza residents will live on four hours of electricity, as the Palestinian Authority and Hamas continue power struggle. | | Aljazeera - The Israeli government has agreed to cut down its
electricity supply in the Gaza Strip, at the behest of the West Bank-
based Palestinian Authority (PA), Israeli officials said. According to
Yoav Mordechai, the Israeli head of the Coordinator of Government
Activities in the Territories (COGAT), President Mahmoud Abbas
requested Israel to stop supplying electricity to Gaza back in April.
The PA declined to comment to Al Jazeera.-rh | 14/6/2017 |

Culture war takes center stage at Israeli theater festival | | Shlomi Eldar - Al Monitor - On May 30, various playwrights, directors
and other artists announced their withdrawal from the Acre Festival of
Alternative Theater, in which they were scheduled to take part in
October 2017, following the organizers’ decision to ban the play
“Prisoners of the Occupation” by Einat Weitzman. Their boycott of the
play is another stage in the culture war being waged in Israel in
recent years. The ban was not the result of a direct order by Culture
Minister Miri Regev, who since taking office in 2015 has made it her
practice to intervene in the contents of publicly funded events. But
her activities have clearly created a threatening climate that limits
free expression and leads theaters to practice self-censorship so as
not to clash with her and endanger their funding.-rh

All Palestinian prisoners need is dry bread, a glass of water– and a bullet to the head | | Jonathan Ofir - Mondoweiss - In the past, there have been many hunger
strikes precisely by such administrative detainees protesting this
practice on its own. It is notable that whilst abolishing of this
practice has been a demand of the prisoners, it has not even appeared
on the list of alleged concessions. Now, if Israel indeed had a clear
case of ‘terrorism’ against a Palestinian person, it wouldn’t need the
administrative detention, now would it? Israel is otherwise happy to
parade ‘terrorists’ in court. So let’s put that one aside. Now, what
is MK Hazan saying? That ‘they’ (they’re all terrorists anyway),
should simply be executed. This point leans on a point made earlier by
the chairman of the committee, MK Amsalem, who said that “in other
democratic countries, such as the United States, not only do murderers
not get any visits, they are executed.”-rh

Israel’s occupation was a plan fulfilled | | Ilan Pappe -
Electronic Intifada
"Through the work on this book, I realized that the Israeli
manipulation of Jewish fear in 1967 was even more cynical than it
was in 1948, when the Jewish leadership genuinely could not foresee
the results of its decision to ethnically cleanse Palestine.
The cabinet meetings reveal a group of politicians and generals, who
ever since 1948 looked for a way of rectifying what they deemed was
the gravest mistake of the otherwise triumphant “war of
independence”: the decision not to occupy the West Bank." ca

Abu Daher were shot dead by Israeli Border Police officers during a 2014 protest.
