settlement had been built on my land, I felt as if my hand had been cut off,’ he says,

Will Israel impose Cypriot model in West Bank? | | Adnan Abu Amer - Al Monitor - Implementing the Cypriot model in the West Bank requires international interference, which is what the Palestinians have been calling for while Israel has been rejecting it. Israel has been keen on keeping discussions and negotiations to this effect limited to internal circles at home, without any international interference, and rejected on Nov. 7 the international conference France intended to hold early next year.-rh

Is Israeli High Court’s independence at risk? | | Mazal Mualem - Al Monitor - The High Court of Justice is well-known in the world as an institution symbolizing the robustness of Israeli democracy; it is an institution that protects minority groups, without political considerations. However, nowadays it is clear that the red line has already been crossed. All the signs show that the political and public atmosphere is ripe for infringing on, and restricting, the powers of the High Court of Justice vis-a-vis the politicians. President Naor’s struggle is only rearguard action.-rh

Petition: urge Jazz artists not to take part in the Red Sea Festival | | | 13/12/2016 |
... |
Over 22,000 signatures on call for artists not to take part in the Red Sea Jazz Festival | | 10 Reasons for a Cultural Boycott - The campaign calls upon artists
to cancel participation in the Red Sea Jazz Festival, a bi-yearly
event at Eilat in south Israel. Organizers note that "the free
spirit of Jazz music is a beautiful tradition of oppressed
minorities" - but that in this Israeli festival it`s "a government
event of propaganda, which uses Jazz music as a tool for
whitewashing military occupation, apartheid and oppression of the
Palestinian people" - and therefore, jazz artists are urged not to
take part. 22,000 people already signed the petition and campaigning
will go on - targeting both the festival as a whole and specific
jazz artists scheduled to appear - until the festival date in
February 2017. [ak]

Two Palestinian Hunger Strikers Stop Drinking Water After Israeli Court Denied Their Appeal | | IMEMC - On the same day that Israeli authorities released from
prison one long-term hunger striker, Bilal Kayed, the Israeli High

organ failure or brain damage, and Abu Farah has lost vision in his
right eye.Their lawyer attempted to present the two`s health
conditions, but the Israeli High Court refused to hear that
testimony. Both now declared they will stop drinking water, and are
prepared to hunger strike until death. [ak] | 13/12/2016 |

National Service Bill - yet another blow at Human Rights Groups | | Chaim Levinson - Haaretz - The bill, introduced by Likud Knesset
Member Amir Ohana and having the government`s support, would block
national service volunteers from serving at non-profits that get the
majority of their funding from "foreign political entities" (mostly
from individual European countries or from the EU). Over the past
year, only 11 volunteer positions were assigned to such
organizations - including the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants, the
Gisha Legal Center for Freedom of Movement and B’Tselem, which
focuses on human rights in the territories. In fact, the aim of the
law is less to concretely deprive such organizations of volunteer
help and more to further de-legitimize them. [ak] | 13/12/2016 |

J-Street leaders visit Susya | | Jeremy Ben-Ami - J-Street blog - The first thing that struck me
about the Palestinian village of Susya was how small it is. We -
15 J Street leaders, including a rabbi, chapter chairs and committed
activists - saw a camp of a few tarp-covered, minimal structures
surrounding a well with no connection to the electric grid or the
water system living under imminent threat of demolition. The people
who
live there brought the place to life for us – children smiling
and playing with us; tea offered with gracious hospitality. A family
with so little going out of its way to make us feel at home. Their grace meant so much more after they told us their story – a seventy-year odyssey of uncertainty, occupation and displacement.[ak] | 13/12/2016 |

Golden statue of Benjamin Netanyahu toppled after causing stir | | Jeffrey Heller - Independent - A gilded statue of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed “King Bibi” by its creator stirred condemnation from Israel`s culture minister and was toppled by an onlooker after a brief public appearance. Sculptor Itay Zalait said he had placed the four metre (13 foot) tall effigy of Mr Netanyahu on a white pedestal in Tel Aviv`s Rabin Square, adjacent to city hall, to test the limits of freedom of expression in Israel.-rh

Palestinian village of Susya tests citizen power | | Rabbi Arik Ascherman - Mercury News/Action Network -
Nasser Nawajeh, spokesperson for the threatened village of Susya,
once told me that when they were expelled in 1986 they were
powerless because they were alone. He said, “We are again in
great danger, but with one big difference. We are no longer alone.”
Susya probably would not be standing today were it not for
international concern, especially expressed by Sen. Dianne
Feinstein. Nobody knows what will be the policy of the next
administration regarding Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.
This is where average citizens come in. Our best hope to have Susya
residents able to remain in their homes on the land they own is
through American constituents pressing their representatives to
express concern on their behalf. [ak] | 6/12/2016 |

Bernie Sanders Is Not Giving Up on Positive Change Because of an Election | | Bernie Sanders, Thomas Dunne Books - Truthout - Despite the dismay and consternation that so many of our readers felt with the election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency, Bernie Sanders released a 450-page book recently with the proud rallying cry of Our Revolution as the title. The book emphasizes a roll-up-our-sleeves optimism in progressive populism despite the election of a white nationalist leader to the highest office in the land. That is further emphasized by the cover photo that includes his campaign slogan -- now his rallying cry -- "A Future to Believe In." | 1/12/2016 |

WATCH: A new brand of Jewish nonviolence in Palestine | |
Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man - +972 - In the summer of 2016, dozens of Jews from the U.S. and other countries came to Palestine, at the request of Palestinian activists, to use nonviolence, civil disobedience, and their privilege as Jews to help oppose the Israeli occupation. Under the banner of “Occupation is not my Judaism,” the activists helped rebuild homes demolished by the Israeli army, facilitated an entire displaced Palestinian village’s return to to its former homes, and put their bodies on the line to challenge the Israeli military regime of segregation and settlement in Hebron.-rh
