Hundreds in Tel Aviv defy police ban to protest Gaza war | | Haggai Matar - +972 magazine - Israeli security forces forbade what was
slated to be the largest anti-war demonstration in Israel since the
outbreak of hostilities in Gaza. Still, some 500 activists did turn up
on Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square in defiance of the ban, which was put in
place ostensibly to stop large gatherings during a time when missiles
are being fired at Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. Protesters chanted
such slogans as “Funds to welfare not to war,” “Build more classrooms
not more bombs” and “In Gaza and Sderot children want to live.” ak | 12/8/2014 |

Potatoes for Gaza - emergency food aid | | Gershon Baskin - The Israeli vegetable growers` association is going to

War weeks in Haifa | | Free Haifa - We got a chance to study the right wing slogans. “Gaza is a
parking” – probably in praise of the flattening of neighborhoods… "Bring
me Hummus, Chips and Salad” – their view of relations with local Arabs.
“You Don’t Have a State!” – something we already noticed. “A Jew is a
soul – An Arab is a son of a whore!” – variation of a common football
chant. When they all started to sing, to the rhythm of a Hassidic hymm:
“The entire world hates Israel!” we almost joined them. ak | 12/8/2014 |

African Solidarity with Palestine | | African scholars and scholars of Africa--We, the undersigned African scholars and scholars of Africa, hold that silence about the latest humanitarian catastrophe caused by Israel’s new military assault on the Gaza Strip—the third and most devastating in six years—constitutes complicity. Member state of NATO which mounted an air war on Libya ostensibly to protect civilians in Benghazi have been by and large quiet about the fate of civilians in Gaza. World governments and mainstream media do not hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. We, however, as a community of scholars have a moral responsibility to do so. dn | 10/8/2014 |

West Bank uprisings dampened by PA | | Ahmad Azem -
Al Monitor
"It should be noted that young Palestinians have started to develop a new type of confrontation in the villages near the settlements, or at checkpoints. They are starting to cut off roads and prevent Israeli vehicles from passing while the Israeli army watches from afar. Al-Monitor has witnessed such events in the village of Al-Eizariya, near the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim and Jerusalem. Yet at times, the army would directly intervene as it did in Beit Hanina and Shuafat. This raises the question: To what extent will this situation develop?" ca | 8/8/2014 |

Who are the Israelis refusing the call of Protective Edge? | | Dahlia Scheindlin - +972 - "It is a huge taboo.

Growing Movement of American Jews Speaking Out Against Assault on Gaza | | Naomi Dann - Jewish Voice for Peace - More than in any previous outbreak
of bloodshed in Gaza, Jewish Americans have been organizing in outright

Israel. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) reports organized street protests,
demonstrations and civil disobedience actions, carried out specifically
by Jews, in Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, New York,Chicago, Washington DC,
the Bay Area and other locations. This might have long term
implications, long past the end of the current terrible round of
bloodshed which claimed nearly 2000 lives in three weeks. ak | 5/8/2014 |
