Mass Rally Against the Expulsion of Asylum Seekers | | | 20/3/2018 |
|
Mass Rally Against the Expulsion of Asylum Seekers | | A.S.F. - Refugees` Rights Association - On Saturday night, March 24
at 20:00, a mass rally will be held at the Rabin Square in Tel Aviv,
to oppose government plans for the large-scale expulsion of African
refuges and asylum seekers. It has been shown that expelled
refugees, sent to such countries as Rwanda and Uganda, are highly
unwelcome there and would face further expulsion, a highly dangerous
and unpredictable fate and the tangible threat of death or slavery .
We call for a responsible asylum policy, the rehabilitation of the
slum neighborhoods of South Tel Aviv where the mass of Africans are
presently located and the integration of refugees and asylum seekers
throughout the country.Israelis from all over the political spectrum
and from a variety of population groups have made it clear in recent
months that they oppose the expulsion of the refugees. [ak] | 20/3/2018 |

125 Palestinian Football Clubs to Adidas: End Sponsorship of Israeli Settlement Teams | | BDS Movement News - 125 Palestinian football teams and sports
associations call on Adidas to end its sponsorship of the Israel
Football Association over inclusion of teams based in illegal
Israeli settlements. There are six such Israeli football clubs
located in such settlements, built on stolen Palestinian land, and
Palestinians are not allowed to enter into them. By admitting clubs
based in such settlements as full members, the Israel Football
Association (IFA) has become deeply complicit in Israel’s violations
of international law and Palestinian human rights. As the main
international sponsor of the IFA, Adidas is lending its brand to
cover up and whitewash Israel’s human rights abuses. Aside from the
settlements issue, Palestinian footballers are denied
the freedom of movement to attend matches, Palestinian stadiums have
been bombed and destroyed, and Palestinian players are attacked and
imprisoned, and some of them were killed by the Israeli army.
Adidas’ sponsorship of the IFA legitimises and gives international
cover to Israel’s illegal settlements and to human rights
violations. Adidas already agreed to remove its sponsorship from the
"Jerusalem Marathon", used by Israel to bolster the Israeli-
ruled "UNited Jerusalem". [ak]

While Being Assaulted By Soldiers, Four Medics Rescue Wounded Palestinians – Video | | Firas Tanneena - IMEMC - Four Palestinian medics rushed in to help wounded demonstrators, when they themselves came under an intensive barrage of
tear gas and pepper-spray. Three of the medics managed to rush one
of the wounded Palestinians to a nearby ambulance, while Nisreen
Amira - 19 years old volunteer medic - stayed behind to attend to a
second wounded demonstrator. When a soldier attempted to drag away
her patient Nisreen protected him,
firmly holding on to his arm. By then, the three other medics returned
to the area, and managed to evacuate the wounded
young man to a hospital. After the assault, and the injuries she
suffered, Nisreen smiled and placed the gas mask on her face: “This is the third time I get injured by the soldiers, but I
will continue to perform my duty.” [ak] | 13/3/2018 |

Haim Hanegbi Bajayo, the Palestinian Hebronite Jew --including the film `Hebron in my heart` by Eran Torbiner-- | | Ahmad Jaradat - AIC/IMEMC - Veteran Israeli activist Haim Hanegbi
was buried at the Metropolitan Tel Aviv Cemetary, attended by
numerous fellow activists who had known him at various parts of his
life. But Palestinians - especially those of Hebron - mourned him
not only as "true fighter for justice" but also and especially as a
Palestinian Hebronite Jew, one of their own - which was, indeed, how
he at various times defined himself. Haim Hanegbi Bajayo was a
descendant of the old Jewish community of Hebron, and after 1967
strongly resisted the campaign of extreme-right Israeli settlers -
none of them having any connection to that old community - to
establish themselves by force in Hebron. He had formed a committee
of old Hebronite Jews to oppose the settlers, asking the Hebron
Municipality to take full sponsorship of Jewish properties and homes
in the city, and emphasizing that the Hebronite Jews would not
return to their homes until the Palestinian refugees return to their
own lands, cities and homes. Walking the streets of Hebron, he once
said: "I am sad - also for myself. The settlers occupied my home
like they occupied the homes of the rest of the Palestinians." [ak] | 6/3/2018 |

One State Foundation launches today | | Jonathan Ofir - Moondoweiss - We are still in times where speaking
about a single democratic and secular state in Israel-Palestine is
considered contentious. Just look how former Knesset Speaker Avraham
Burg was received at a liberal synagogue in NY, when he spoke about
this concept – Rabbi Matalon called him a “troublemaker”, and rabbi
Cohen said he “pushed all the buttons”. But today, a new foundation is
officially launching – the One State Foundation, which boldly and
clearly promotes this concept and goal.-rh | 8/3/2018 |

New exhibit shows slumping Israeli flag, draws culture minister`s ire | | Itay Blumenthal, Moran Azulay - Ynet -A new controversial art
installation of an Israeli flag atop a tilted mast, which appears
about to fall, was erected at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. Sculptor
Itai Zlait, who created the exhibit, explained that it signifies the
country`s "interim state," between order and disorder, prosperity
and austerity, democracy and tyranny. "What I`m trying to do is show
the depth of the rift we`re in. We are exposed to a lot of hatred
and lack of information, and I`ve tried to show it neutrally."
Culture Minister Miri Regev angrily denounced Zlait`s
exhibit as "cheap and outrageous political provocation by fringe
leftist circles". [ak] | 6/3/2018 |
