THE FBI IS USING UNVETTED, RIGHT-WING BLACKLISTS TO QUESTION ACTIVISTS ABOUT THEIR SUPPORT FOR PALESTINEAlex 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.-rh27/6/2018

One Democratic State: an ongoing debateNaji 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.-rh27/6/2018

Psychologist: Separating children at the border creates trauma passed down through generationsAmy 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.-rh27/6/2018

From Slavery to `Indian Schools` to Internment Camps: Family Separation is Nothing New in AmericaD. 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 27/6/2018

The Last of the TzaddiksDavid 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.-rh27/6/2018

Settlers wound 11 policemen, but right-wing ministers remain silentYariv 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.-rh20/6/2018

UK government is complicit in Israel war crimes against Palestine protesters, says British campaign groupSamuel 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.- rh20/6/2018

“A Letter from Gaza, June 2018” by Hanan BashirHanan 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 killedAhmad 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.”-rh13/6/2018

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 13/6/2018

How Israeli Banks Finance Theft of Palestinian LandAli 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 13/6/2018
