| Why I`ll be on the Gaza flotilla this Jewish New Year | | Orly Noy - +972 Magazine - In the days set by Jewish tradition for
introspection and forgiveness, I am reminded that as an Israeli
citizen I am responsible for the disaster and tragedy befalling the
people of Gaza. I am reminded of one girl, Muna, whom I saw in a
film by Gaza-based director Fida Qishta: bombings, white
phosphorous, children’s bodies, more bombings, cruel and arbitrary
attacks on fisherman, gunfire at farmers whose land is too close to
the no-go zone, a father harrowingly calling for his son among the
wreckage, and a 10-year-old girl, Muna, who accompanies Qishta
throughout almost the entire movie, pointing out the location where
the people she knew were killed. [ak]

| Let the Women’s Flotilla reach the Port of Gaza! | | Gush Shalom - Gush Shalom calls upon the government to allow the
Women’s Flotilla which sailed from Barcelona to reach the shores of
Gaza. There should be no repetition of the shameful images of
Israeli commandos brutally boarding and taking over vessels on the
open sea and using Taser guns against international peace activists
- images which are a disgrace to the State of Israel and its
citizens. [ak] | 27/9/2016 |

| Israeli forces kill Palestinian teen near Bani Naim after alleged attempted attack | | Ma`an - An eyewitness told Ma`an that a bus traveling from Bani Naim to Hebron stopped at the Wadi al-Joz junction, at which point a youth stepped out of the bus, "then Israeli troops fired at him." He is the seventh Palestinian in the Hebron district, as well as the second resident of Bani Naim, to be killed by Israeli forces since Thursday, amid an uptick in violence after a period of relative calm.

| We, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, have been suffering from a slow death sentence for a long time Israel/Palestine | | Tamam Abusalama -
Mondoweiss
"We, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, have been suffering from a
slow-death sentence for a long time. We are being punished
collectively for no reason, without any crime. The Egyptian and
Jordanian authorities in cooperation with the Israeli colonial
regime have been successful at turning the life of Gazans into hell.
This injustice has to come to an end. A resolution for this siege
has to come. People have to wake up and make some actions.( Tamam
Abusalama is a 19- year old Palestinian blogger and journalism
student at Ankara university in Turkey. She’s originally from Beit
Jirja-Palestine.)" ca | 2/9/2016 |

| Carrot and Stick Carve-up Will Not Work For Israel | | Jonathan Cook -
Information Clearing House
"An Israeli strategy that failed decades ago – before the PA even
existed – is not going to succeed now. Social media campaigns and
paltry handouts will not persuade Palestinians they are nothing more
than a humanitarian problem.They are not about to shelve their
dreams of liberation just because Mr Lieberman colour-codes them in
red and green." ca

| Isolated: Israel cuts village of Beit Iksa off from East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank | | B`Tselem - “After the guards give me the signal, I drive up to the
inspection point and all the passengers get out except the elderly. […]
Sometimes, they allow sick people or mothers with babies or little
children to stay on the bus. The rest of the passengers line up outside.
A guard stands at the door of the bus and the passengers come up to him
one by one and show their identity cards. He only lets residents of Beit
Iksa and the elderly […] back onto the bus. The age limit varies
according to the guard’s mood. […] It usually takes them about ten to
twenty minutes to check all the cards, depending on the number of
passengers. On days when they’re strict, it can take hours” [ry] | 22/8/2016 |

| Gaza merchants say Israel withholding permits, stifling trade | | Times of Israel staff and AFP - Gazan businessmen and traders staged a protest at a crossing point Monday over what they said was the mass cancellation of travel permits by Israel, which they blamed for suffocating trade, having scrapped hundreds of travel documents allowing them to enter Israel and the West Bank as well as other countries for trade.

| Swedes demand Israel repair ship after court victory | | AFP - Yahoo News - In its ruling on Sunday the Supreme Court said the state impounded the ship illegally and awarded its owners legal costs of 40,000 shekels ($10,500, 9,400 euros). Ship to Gaza spokesman Dror Feiler said Ship to Gaza would now file a claim for damages. "They kept the boat for four years in the port of Haifa." It is still afloat but unfit to put to sea. "We will demand that the boat will be put into seaworthy condition so we can sail." [bz]

| Israel deliberately forces inhuman conditions on Palestinians working in the country by permit | | B`Tselem - “This reality, in which workers have to sacrifice a normal
family life, a social life, and a reasonable amount of sleep for endless
hours of waiting for a checkpoint to open, only so they can get to work
on time, is not a necessary evil but a result of Defense Ministry
policy. […] This reality cannot be excused on security grounds or by
citing budgetary concerns or personnel issues. It reflects a deliberate
choice by the Israeli authorities to maintain these inhuman conditions
and force them on Palestinian workers” [ry] | 1/8/2016 |
