| How the EU mocks the victims of Israel’s crimes | | Ali Abunimah -
Electronic Intifada
"On Wednesday, the European Union put out a statement about Israel’s
reinvigorated settlement drive, its forced expulsions of Palestinian
Bedouins and its evictions of Palestinian families in Jerusalem.The
statement does not clearly condemn Israel’s actions. Instead, it
says the EU “has requested clarifications from Israeli authorities
and conveyed the expectation that they reconsider these decisions,
which are detrimental to ongoing efforts towards meaningful peace
talks.” This is diplomatic speak for: we barely have the courage to
even criticize you, let alone to take action." ca

| Israel’s expulsion of Jerusalem lawmakers overturned for now | | Ali Abunimah -
Electronic Intifada
"Human rights groups said that a ruling this week by Israel’s high
court confirms that the state cannot revoke the residency of
Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem on the vague grounds of
“breach of loyalty.”
After a 10-year legal battle, the high court decided that Israel’s
interior minister did not have the authority to expel four
Palestinian lawmakers from the city.Legal advocacy group Adalah and
the Association for Civil Rights in Israel said that the court’s
decision to accept the lawmakers’ appeal affirms that the expulsion
was done “in violation of the rule of law while gravely harming
their constitutional rights.” ca

| Lessons from popular resistance in Jerusalem | | Mustafa Barghouti -
Al Ahram
"In one day, Jerusalem embraced the principles of the first three
Intifadas; self-reliance, self-organisation and challenging the
occupation...Perhaps this exemplary unity was what astonished the
occupation authorities which was mostly accustomed to exploiting
Palestinian divisions and fomenting them with every possible
means...The task is how to build on this model and its
characteristics and develop Palestinian popular resistance on the
national scale." ca | 8/9/2017 |

| Marching against the Sheikh Jarrah evictions | | | 8/9/2017 |

| Sheikh Jarrah family expelled, home handed to settlers | | Yael Friedson - Y-net - An Arab
family was expelled from their home in the Sheikh Jarrah
neighborhood in East Jerusalem. Fahamiya Shamasna, 75, told AFP that
police arrived before dawn ordering her, her sick husband Ayoub, 84,
their son and his family out of the house in the upscale Sheikh
Jarrah neighborhood where the couple lived for 53 years.
"What greater injustice is there than this?" she said. "Maybe we
will sleep in the street." Plans for the eviction had been
criticized by the EU, UN and various Western
governments, though NOT the United States. [The house is to be
handed over to settlers, on the basis that it had been a Jewish
property before 1948 - an obvious double standard since Palestinians
can`t reclaim their pre-`48 properties. ak] | 5/9/2017 |
