• Destruction of Palestinian Olive Trees is a Monstrous Crime
  12 November 2015, by siawi3

  During the last few years, Palestinian olive trees - a universal symbol of life and peace - have been systematically destroyed by Israeli settlers. Over the last 40 years, over a million olive trees and hundreds of thousands of fruit trees have been destroyed in Palestinian lands. The Israel Defense Forces have been accused of uprooting olive trees to facilitate the building of settlements, expand roads and build infrastructure. Practically none of the complaints filed during the past several years on damage to Palestinians trees in the West Bank has resulted on an indictment.

• Gaza et l’économie néolibérale de la violence en Israël
  13 août 2014, par siawi3

  Entre 2005 et 2011, la population de colons israéliens en Cisjordanie a augmenté de 22%, passant de 425 000 à 520 000 (excluant Jérusalem-Est). La rentabilité de l’économie de la violence : le gouvernement israélien relança l’économie propulsée par son secteur des technologies liées à la sécurité et à l’industrie de l’armement. Les Israéliens ont pris conscience de la « valeur » de leur expérience et savoir-faire en matière d’opérations militaires et policières dans un contexte post-9/11. Il en va de même pour l’armement testé sur des cibles humaines.

  7 février 2014, par siawi3

  Le Djihad islamique, dont la branche armée compte quelques milliers de combattants et demeure la deuxième faction la plus influente, après le ­Hamas, dans la bande de Gaza, promet de s’opposer de toutes ses forces à un éventuel accord entre Israéliens et Palestiniens.

• Regarding Israel and Palestine - a view from India
  20 April 2018, by siawi3

  Palestine has had a long and tumultuous history at crossroads of religion, culture and politics. The Israel Palestine conflict is an unresolved issue of international politics which dates from the end of the First World War. The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court called last week for an end to violence by Israeli forces against Palestinians. At least forty Palestinian protestors have been killed and more than a thousand have been wounded by Israeli forces during the last one month.

• Israel-Palestine: January 2018: Soldiers kill 5 Palestinians – 3 with shots to the head – without justification
  9 February 2018, by siawi3

  B’Tselem’s investigation found that the six Palestinians were shot in the upper body during clashes and demonstrations that included stone-throwing, although they were not endangering the lives of the soldiers or of anyone else. This conduct renders the open-fire regulations, which are supposed to limit the use of lethal firepower, void of meaning and conveys Israel’s deep disregard for the lives of Palestinians.

• En Israël, des détenus Palestiniens commencent une grève de la faim collective
  6 mai 2017, par siawi3

  « Israël a établi un système judiciaire à deux vitesses, un apartheid judiciaire qui garantit une impunité pour les Israéliens ayant commis des crimes contre des Palestiniens et criminalise la présence et la résistance palestinienne », écrit M. Barghouthi, qui dénonce également la « torture » et les « traitements dégradants ».

• If Israel Lets Palestinian Hunger Striker Marwan Barghouti Die, It Risks a Brutal Intifada
  6 May 2017, by siawi3

  On the surface, the hunger strike led by imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti is about a fairly mundane list of basic demands for prisoners. But it is symbolic of a much wider struggle, one that could constitute a significant turning point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, if mishandled, lead to a third intifada. Another brutal intifada would smash what remains of the chances for the two-state solution, still US and international policy towards Israel and Palestine.

• Palestine: West Bank Mosque Hit With Attempted Arson in Possible Hate Crime
  13 April 2018, by siawi3

  Referred to in Israel as “price-tag attacks”, the attacks are wanton reprisals undertaken by extremist Jews in response to Palestinian violence against Israelis or government curbs on unauthorized West Bank settlement building. Settler violence against Palestinians is on the rise, but goes regularly unpunished. Zachariah Sade, an investigator for Rabbis for Human Rights, arrived at the scene early in the morning and alerted Israeli authorities. As of Friday morning, no Israeli forces have arrived at the scene. On April 5, several vehicles in a Palestinian-majority East Jerusalem neighborhood were vandalized on Wednesday night.

• Irland: Dublin, First European Capital to Endorse Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions BDS for Palestinian Rights
  16 April 2018, by siawi3

  The people of Ireland, with their long legacy of struggle against colonialism, have shown that while governments in the US and Europe are deeply complicit in Israel’s crimes of occupation and apartheid, people of conscience stand on the right side of history, against oppression and for freedom, justice, equality and human dignity.
