JVP: Stopping Friedman (and Netanyahu!) is our responsibility | | Ari Wohfeiler - Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) - In the streets and in
the media, we`re going to make it known that we don`t accept
Netanyahu`s silence on Trump`s Muslim Ban, his egging on of the wall
on the US/Mexico border, his encouragement to move the US Embassy,
or the thousands of new settlement homes he just approved. Friedman
is the pivot point of all of this: it would be his job to maintain a
US/Israeli relationship focused on accomplishing all of these
destructive policy goals, and more. | 8/2/2017 |

B`Tselem: a semblance of legality to ongoing plunder | | Amit Gilutz - B`Tselem - The law passed by the Knesset proves
yet again that Israel has no intention of ending its control over
the Palestinians or its theft of their land. Lending a semblance of
legality to this ongoing act of plunder is a disgrace for the state
and its legislature. Passing the bill mere weeks after UN Security
Council Resolution 2334 is a slap in the face of the international
community. While enshrining the dispossession in law is a new
development, in practice it is another facet of the massive land grab
carried out openly for decades by declaring `state land`. [ak] | 7/2/2017 |

My sister is refusing to join the IDF — and I couldn`t be prouder | | Amitai Ben-Abba - +972 Magazine - In our childhood we would fight
imaginary monsters. Today the monster of the occupation is far
stronger — yet Atalya continues to bravely fight on, and is willing
to pay the price for her beliefs. Atalya wrote the following in her
statement of refusal: “I grew up in Jerusalem, so fear is no
stranger to me. I know what it means not to take a bus because
there’s an alert against an attack, what it means to hear gunshots
and later learn of a terrorist attack on the other side of the
street. That’s why I know so deeply that we cannot let this
situation last.” Atalya could have avoided military army service in
other ways, which don`t involve going to prison, but she wanted to
make a statement against the military regime that systematically
deprives Palestinians of their basic rights. [ak] | 7/2/2017 |

Thousands march in Tel Aviv over demolition of Arab homes | | Dov Lieber - Times of Israel - Abu Al-Qia’an’s widow, Amal Abu Sa’id, called for an end to “incitement, separation and racism” and urged a future of equality and coexistence.
She accused the government of “declaring war on its citizens” at Umm al-Hiran and said Netanyahu was cynically using Arab home demolitions to mollify settlers angered by the court-ordered evacuation of Amona.
“The choice to treat Bedouin citizens as enemies cost my dear husband his life as well as the life of officer Erez Levi…who in their unnecessary deaths paid for your reckless and irresponsible choices.”
She called for the establishment of an independent investigative committee into the events in Umm al-Hiran.
Abu Sa’id called the large and diverse crowd “proof Arab and Jews want to live together.”

Berlin protesters target exploitive Israeli settler date producers | | BDS Berlin - Protesters picketed Fruit Logiscitica 2017, a major
international agricultural fair held annually in Berlin. Visitors
could not avoid the big signs held on the porch, before the entrance
to the fair: "Boycott the companies which profit from Israeli
Apartheid: Mhehadrin, Arava, Hadiklaim" and "Ignorance is a choice".
The Israeli companies named participate in Fruit Logiscitica to
promote their dates, which compete for the European consumer market.
They neglect to tell visitors that most of these dates come from
settlements in the Jordan Valley, part of the occupied West Bank, or
that harvesting the dates is done by highly exploited, low paid
Palestinian workers - many of them minors. [ak] | 14/2/2017 |
