THE FBI IS USING UNVETTED, RIGHT-WING BLACKLISTS TO QUESTION ACTIVISTS ABOUT THEIR SUPPORT FOR PALESTINE | | Alex Kane - The Intercept - “This is where Islamophobic, ‘alt-right,’
Zionist harassers in the private sphere intersect with government
suppression — your worst nightmare of the government and its law
enforcement apparatus, which is already in widespread violation of
basic civil rights, responding to the most racist elements of society
demanding a crackdown on political expression,” said Liz Jackson, a
staff attorney at Palestine Legal, a group that assists students
interviewed by law enforcement about Palestine.-rh | 27/6/2018 |

One Democratic State: an ongoing debate | | Naji El Khatib and Ofra Yeshua-Lyth - Mondoweiss - Today more than
ever, people realize that the current regime of blatant ethnic
discrimination will never end as long as the “Two States Solution”
continues to be blindly repeated as the official, totally dishonest
and irrelevant, mantra to ‘peace’. The violence, racism and ethnic
cleansing, part and parcel of the Zionist State of Israel since its
inception, can only be addressed by a political structure
characterized by equal rights and full civil liberties for all the
country’s long-suffering inhabitants, including those Palestinian
refugees who should have been among its inhabitants throughout these
last seventy years.-rh | 27/6/2018 |

Psychologist: Separating children at the border creates trauma passed down through generations | | Amy Goodman - Nation of Change - I’m reminded of this quotation by a
Somali poet named Warsan Shire, and it’s that nobody leaves home
unless home is the mouth of a shark. And so we have the trauma that
was experienced in their original country, and then there is the
journey itself, which includes witnessing and directly experiencing a
number of potentially traumatic events. Then there’s a moment of
separation, and then there is the being separated. So we have this
compounding trauma on top of trauma. And, you know, the way – and I’ll
just really quickly kind of explain what we know about children
separation. And it doesn’t take a psychologist to know that children
do best when they’re in closer proximity to their parents.-rh | 27/6/2018 |

From Slavery to `Indian Schools` to Internment Camps: Family Separation is Nothing New in America | | D. Watkins - Alternet - American has a long history of tearing
families apart–– a history stretching to before the founding of the
republic. Let`s not forget about the Native American boarding schools.
Most famous of those was probably the Carlisle Indian Industrial
School in Pennsylvania, although there were about 150 others,
notoriously "susceptible to deadly infections like tuberculosis and
the flu," according to the Washington Post. At least 200 children died
there in less than 40 years. They had left their tribal lands and
their families and never returned. Carlisle and other boarding schools
were part of a long history of U.S. attempts to either kill, remove,
or assimilate Native Americans. In 1830, the U.S. forced Native
Americans to move west of the Mississippi to make room for U.S.
expansion with the Indian Removal Act. But a few decades later, the
U.S. worried it was running out of places to relocate the country’s
original inhabitants.-rh

The Last of the Tzaddiks | | David Shulman - The New York Review of Books - In the somewhat exotic
Jewish home in Iowa where I grew up, it was axiomatic that there was
an intimate link between Judaism and universal human rights. Like
nearly all Eastern European Jewish families in America, my parents and
grandparents were Roosevelt Democrats, to the point of fanaticism.
They thought that the Jews had invented the very idea, and also the
practice, of social justice; that having started our history as slaves
in Egypt, we were always on the side of the underdog and the
oppressed; that the core of Judaism as a religious culture was
precisely this commitment to human rights, and that all the rest—the
613 commandments, the rituals, the theological assertions—was no more
than a superstructure built upon a strong ethical foundation. For me,
this comfortable illusion was shattered only when I moved to Israel at
the age of eighteen.-rh | 27/6/2018 |

rights body, days after the United States pulled out largely over its
allegation that the Human Rights Council is biased against Israel.The

"lowered" its participation at the council to align its stance more
with the U.S. position.-rh | 27/6/2018 |

Settlers wound 11 policemen, but right-wing ministers remain silent | | Yariv Oppenheimer - Ynetnews - Netanyahu, Lieberman, Erdan and Shaked,
who rush to condemn every single Palestinian stone thrower, had nothing
to say when settlers used similar violence against the security forces
in the evacuation of the illegal outpost of Tapuach.-rh | 20/6/2018 |

UK government is complicit in Israel war crimes against Palestine protesters, says British campaign group | | Samuel Osborne - Independent - The British government is “complicit in
the violence” suffered by the Palestinians because it continues to
support arms sales to Israel, a UK-based anti-poverty charity has
said. Over 120 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3,800
injured by Israeli army fire since near-weekly protests along the
Israel-Gaza border began on 30 March. Britain abstained from a United
Nations vote which condemned Israel’s “use of any excessive,
disproportionate and indiscriminate force” against the demonstrators.-

“A Letter from Gaza, June 2018” by Hanan Bashir | | Hanan Bashir - UK Palestine Mental Health network - Hanan Bashir is a
21 year old student living and studying psychology in Gaza who has
asked for assistance publicizing the following statement. Please share
it widely:. I have always hated crying for help. You may have read
about Gaza’s
plight in newspapers or academic articles and you may have heard about
the many deprivations we the Palestinians face, like having just four
hours of electricity each day, three extraordinarily brutal wars, the
almost always closed border crossings and so on and so forth. We, as
humans with the human bodies and feelings, before any kind of
divisions human beings may create, are all trying to send a message
from inside the box (Gaza) to the humans outside the box. Our signal
is intended to be sent everywhere that humans live, it is meant for
all who want to listen.-rh | 20/6/2018 |

Israeli drones drop Ramadan blessings leaflet on Gaza– before four more are killed | | Ahmad Kabariti - Mondoweiss - The Israeli forces dropped leaflets by
drones on the Gaza Strip Thursday morning, warning residents “not to
get close to the border or try to attack Israelis”. “Residents of the
Gaza Strip! Greetings, and may Ramadan bring you blessings,” the
leaflets said. “A wise man considers the results of his actions in
advance and chooses the action whose benefits outweigh the costs. If
you consider this with regard to approaching or crossing the fence,
you’ll reach the conclusion that this act isn’t worthwhile and is even
harmful.”-rh | 13/6/2018 |

Palestinian teen to serve full sentence for slap | | Shlomi Eldar - Al-Monitor - The parole board at Rimonim Prison has
denied Ahed Tamimi’s early release request. The 17-year-old
Palestinian girl was sent to jail for eight and a half months after
slapping an Israeli soldier in her West Bank village of Nabi
Saleh.Tamimi’s attorney, Gaby Lasky, wrote in reaction on Facebook,
“It’s interesting that the parole board decided it was OK to grant an
early release to Elor Azaria (so that he would serve nine months), and
a different board prevented Ahed’s release so that she would serve
eight months.” Lasky was protesting the early release in March of
Azaria, who shot an incapacitated Palestinian attacker in the head in
the West Bank city of Hebron and served almost the same time as
Tamimi, charged with slapping a soldier.-rh

How Israeli Banks Finance Theft of Palestinian Land | | Ali Abunimah - Portside - “Human Rights Watch’s new report exposes
more clearly and unambiguously than before the direct and deep
involvement of Israeli banks, through their business with and in the
illegal Israeli settlements, in Israel’s war crimes of forcible
population transfer and pillage,” Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the
boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, told The Electronic
Intifada. “We welcome HRW’s unambiguous conclusion that Israeli banks
‘cannot mitigate or avoid contributing to’ Israel’s violations of
international law in the occupied Palestinian territory.”,-rh

Charged with killing Palestinian teen, two soldiers to walk free | | Joshua Leifer - +972 - Indictments against two former Israeli soldiers
charged with killing an unarmed Palestinian teenager will be dropped,

names are under gag order, had been charged for the “reckless and
negligent use of a firearm” that killed 16-year-old Samir Awad near
the village of Budrus in 2013. Awad was shot in the back eight times
by soldiers who had been lying in ambush near a hole in Israel’s
separation barrier. He was not armed, nor did he pose a threat to
anyone. He was running away when he was killed.-rh

51st Anniversary of Naksa Commemorated | | IMEMCNews- Palestinians marked, on Tuesday, June 5th, the 51st
anniversary of the “Naksa,” or “setback,” when Israel invaded and
occupied the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai, and the Golan Heights in 1967,

the occupation and illegal Israeli settlements, to organize sit-ins
and protests in commemoration of the day. Officials and rights groups
called upon the international community to not only take action but
demand every country to assume its legal responsibilities and stop all
cooperation with the Israeli occupation, and to secure freedom and
independence for the Palestinian people and protect them from the
ongoing crimes and violations committed by Israel.-rh | 6/6/2018 |

previously worked as an advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.-
