Break open the world`s biggest prison - the Gaza Strip! | | Na`ama Farjun/Yossef Kiton/Tanya Rubinstein - Women`s Coalition
for Peace - Today, Saturday March 30 at 7.30 PM, we will be holding
a demonstration in solidarity with the people of Gaza, opposite the
Defense Ministry (HaKirya) in Tel Aviv .
Already for a whole year, the two million inmates of the world`s
biggest prison - the Gaza Strip - are beating against the bars of
their prison cell - and are answered by the live bullets of Israeli
Army snipers.
This evening, Israeli demonstrators in Tel Aviv will share in
commemorating a year to the "Great March of Return" demonstrations
at the fence surrounding Gaza.
We will call for:
* Full civil and political rights for the Palestinians living under
Israeli control and occupation
* An end to the systematic shooting of unarmed civilians
* An end to criminal bombings
* An end to the siege which is suffocating Gaza`s economy and
society.

Netanyahu`s bankrupt Gaza strategy | | Akiva Eldar -
Al-Monitor
"The latest attacks from Gaza on population centers in the Israeli
heartland and the warning sirens that constantly blare in border
communities prove that Israel’s blockade strategy is bankrupt.
Recent protests in Gaza reflect residents’ dire economic straits,
but they are a long way from auguring a popular uprising against the
armed Hamas thugs who lord over them. The key lies in the meeting
room of Israel’s Security Cabinet." ca

Gaza border protests: 190 killed and 28,000 injured in a year of bloodshed | | Oliver Holmes and Josh Holder -
The Guardian
"One year ago, Palestinians trapped in Gaza began a protest movement
at the frontier with Israel that was intended to last six weeks...A
year later, the rallies continue. Thousands have bullet wounds
through their legs. The streets of Gaza are filled with people
limping or in wheelchairs. Children, journalists and medics have
been killed, even when they were standing far back from the fence.
The UN has said Israel’s military may have committed war crimes,
deliberately targeting civilians." ca | 30/3/2019 |

As Gaza’s Great March of Return approaches one-year, protest founder Ahmed Abu Artema discusses building a non-violent movement | | Allison Deger -
Mondoweiss
"It all started because of a bird. Ahmed Abu Artema, the unlikely
leader of the largest popular Palestinian movement in decades,
strode beside the separation fence that divides his home in the Gaza
Strip from Israel on a January evening last year. At twilight he
saw birds fly overhead, soaring past the fence “and no one stopped
them.” It was a moment of definitive clarity. Ahmed was physically
stuck inside a besieged non-state territory, and here was a flock
birds more free than him." ca

B’Tselem to UN Commission of Inquiry: Israeli “investigations” a mere whitewashing | | Amit Gilutz - B’Tselem - "The Israeli authorities` promise to
“investigate” eleven incidents in which protesters were killed on
the Gaza border is mere propaganda" says B’Tselem’s director Hagai
El-Ad. He called called upon Santiago Canton, head of the UN
Commission of Inquiry into 2018 Gaza protests, to reject the
tapestry of lies woven while Israeli soldiers killed even more
unarmed protesters: “A real change in Israeli policy will only take
place if the international community demands it clearly and
unequivocally, and if it stops allowing Israel to do no more than
offer hollow promises of ‘investigation’.” [ak] | 19/3/2019 |

Unemployment rate in Gaza reaches new record-high of 52 percent in 2018 | | Gisha - "Unemployment in Gaza continues to rise. According to the Palestinian
Central Bureau of Statistics, unemployment in Gaza reached 52 percent in 2018,
an increase of almost eight percent since 2017 and of more than 20 percent since
Israel imposed the closure in 2007" [ry] | 18/3/2019 |

The transit to Gaza left at 14:30. She should come again tomorrow | | Tamar Fleishman - Machsomwatch - As I crossed the checkpoint, between
the metal detectors and the ID checking posts, a woman stood, her path
blocked, carrying a motionless child on her shoulder. The child is 4-
year old Abdallah, who until Thursday was hospitalized in the
Intensive Care Unit and was taken by his mother to Qalandiya in order
to proceed from there all the way home to Gaza. Abdallah doesn’t see
nor respond. A bit like a living dead child. I didn’t mean to go to
the DCO (Civil Administration office) – where they are pushed back in
their misery, but meeting these two - seeing the defeated mother whom
the soldiers barred from crossing – told the story and I stayed.-rh | 12/3/2019 |

4.5 years after Israel destroyed thousands of homes in Operation Protective Edge: 13,000 Gazans still homeless | | B`Tselem - "During the fifty days of Operation Protective Edge in the summer of
2014, Israel bombed and shelled the Gaza Strip, causing massive damage to
civilian infrastructure and homes. About 18,000 residential units were either
completely destroyed or heavily damaged, leaving more than 100,000
Palestinians – some 17,000 families – homeless" [ry] | 11/3/2019 |

Ynetnews
"Some 150 women from the Parents Circle-Families Forum, people who
have lost family members to the Mideast conflict, marched in Tel
Aviv for International Women’s Day on Friday morning. They held
signs decrying violence and hatred and held a gathering in Habima
Square." ca
