The EU: Israel’s Faithful Brother in Arms
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/eu-israels-faithful-brother-arms

As is often the case, this undisguised cooperation between the EU and Israeli military companies went fully unchallenged – let alone noticed – in the European media. Not even the rather conspicuous fact that the EU-sponsored conference occurred simultaneously with Israel’s devastating Gaza assault in which Israel used the equipment of both Elbit and IAI.

The same inability, or unwillingness, by the European media to report such collaboration, let alone deplore it, manifested itself even more prominently in January 2009. A day after Israel’s 22-day long assault on the Gaza Strip, the leaders of six European states, including the UK, France, and Italy, arrived in Israel for a gala dinner, voicing their support for Israel. The dinner was hosted by Israel’s then-prime minister Ehud Olmert. The European leaders vowed, of all things, to stop the flow of arms to Hamas. Meanwhile, the Israeli strikes on Gaza would kill 926 civilians.

As a trading and co-sponsoring partner, Elbit is among the most disagreeable of all the Israeli military companies. Being at the very core of Israel’s breaches of international law, Elbit is deeply involved in Israel’s drone programs that have targeted and killed scores of civilians, including children. The former president and chief executive of Elbit proclaimed that the company is “the backbone” of Israel’s drone operations. Elbit also provides surveillance equipment to the illegal wall Israel has built in the West Bank. Besides being an instrumental partner of the Israeli air force, it is also sells equipment to the Israeli navy.

The EU also funnels funds to Elbit through allocating EU-taxpayers’ money to the company under the umbrella of scientific research. Indeed, another barely publicized yet lucrative form of EU-Israeli cooperation that directly benefits Israel’s private military sector are scientific research subsidies. David Cronin, who has put together a pioneering compendium on the EU’s complicity in Israel’s illegalities, estimates that by the year 2013, Israel will have received EU research grants for more than €500 million. Israel currently takes part in over 800 schemes with European universities and corporations.

Muslim Arab Bedouins serve as Jewish state’s gatekeepers

“This is our country” (...)
“The state of Bedouin in Israel is better, as far as the respect we get, our progress, education,” (....)

Cooperation between the Jewish people and Bedouin tribes began before Israel became a state in 1948, when the northern tribes sided with the Jews, whom they believed would win the war against the Arabs.

In the south, some Bedouin took part in the fighting against the Jews in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war while others fought with them. Still others fled the Negev to the Hebron hills in the southern West Bank.

Israel kept the Negev Bedouin under military rule until 1966, with the Bedouin leader there accepting Israeli sovereignty in the mid-1950s and agreeing to enlist in its military.

Today, the army says the number of Bedouin in active service is 1,655 — a tiny fraction of the 176,500 troops who make up the entire corpus of the active military, according to Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies.

(...)

“Hezbollah are Arabs, we are Arabs,” he says. “An Arab understands an Arab’s thinking better than a Jew can. We can think like them, we have the same style, more or less.”

Although Mazarib is following in the footsteps of his father, his uncle and his brother who also served as military trackers, he doesn’t see the same future for his eldest son, who is currently in school. Mazarib envisions that his son - the only Bedouin in his class - will serve in one of the army’s top elite units before taking up a senior role in Israeli society.

To him, the Bedouin integration in Israel’s army and society could be evidence of the possibility of Jewish-Muslim coexistence, which “could serve as an example of how to solve the entire Jewish-Arab conflict,” he says.

Samer al-Issawi obtient d’être libéré en décembre, il accepte de mettre fin à sa grève de la fin de 270 jours :
http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/5810-israel-to-release-samer-al-issawi-in-december

After a long hearing session which took place in an Israeli hospital on Monday, the Palestinian prisoner Samer al-Issawi has agreed to bring an end to his hunger strike in exchange for his release in December 2013.

Al-Issawi is currently suffering from grave deterioration in his health as a result of his 270-day hunger strike in an Israeli jail. He was admitted to Kaplan Hospital in Jerusalem several weeks ago where the Israeli Military Prosecution held a hearing session for him yesterday.

The head of the legal unit in the Prisoners’ Club, the lawyer Jawad Bolos, said in a statement that the Israeli Military Prosecution “finally” agreed to Al-Issawi’s demands. Bolos said that demands included the annulment of Al-Issawi’s previous 20 years prison sentence.

❝ The arrest of acclaimed musician, Oday Khatib , sheds light on Israel’s draconian system of arrest and detention.

(...)

With thousands of other Palestinians behind bars, Oday’s case is therefore no more or less unfair than thousands of others; it simply sheds new light on the system.

Oday’s family has expressed hope that several of the soldiers who chased the youth on March 19 will be willing to testify that Oday was not among the stone-throwers. Not likely: the conviction rate for such alleged offences in military trials, in 2010, was 99.74 percent.

On Monday, Oday is scheduled to walk into the courtroom of an occupying military power and hear the charges against him. His old teacher - one of dozens who have been lighting up social media sites in the wake of Oday’s arrest - hopes he will sing.

“I imagine the only way he is surviving prison is by singing,” writes Julia Katarina, the British mezzo-soprano who put her opera career on hold for three years to teach voice lessons at Al Kamandjati. “I hope he sings in the military court,” Julia writes, because if Oday’s accusers can find “an ounce of humanity in their hearts, they will release him.”

Cable : 1975JIDDA02425_b
3 avril 1975 : COMMENTS ON ESTIMATES FOR MIDDLE EAST WAR
From : Saudi Arabia Jeddah
https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/1975JIDDA02425_b.html

SUMMARY : IN FEAR OF AN ISRAELI MILITARY MOVE EGYPT AND SYRIA MIGHT TRY TO PERSUADE SAUDI ARABIA TO PRESSURE USG AND CUT BACK PRODUCTION. WE THINK SAG UNLIEKLY TO COOPERATE AT LEAST THIS YEAR. OIL BOYCOTT CERTAIN IF WAR COMES AND WE GIVE MASSIVE SUPPORT TO ISRAEL ; IF WE DO NOT, AND IF ARABS DO REASONABLY WELL, CHANCES OF AVOIDING IT WILL DEPEND ON CARROTS AND STICKS GIVEN AMBASSADOR AND ON HIS SKILL IN USING THEM.

IN STAGE OF PRELIMINARY TENSION BEFORE EITHER PARTY MIGHT START A WAR, SAG MAY INFORM US THAT ISRAEL CAN BE BROUGHT TO THE PEACE TABLE ONLY IF THE U.S. IS WILLING TO CONSIDER CUTTING AID OR MILITARY RESUPPLY. IN THIS CASE, SAG COULD WAR U.S. AND THEN START TO APPLY PRESSURE VIA PRODUCTION CUTBACKS. SAG MIGHT NOT OPPOSE, EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO ORIGINATE, USE OF FINANCIAL POWER OR PRICE HIKES DURING PERIODS OF HEIGHTENING TENSION. WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO MAKE ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN MIDDLE EAST PEACE AND PRICE OF OIL, RECENT STATEMENTS BY CROWN PRINCE FAHD AND MINISTER OF STATE SAUD TEND TO PUT FUTURE OIL PRICES IN THIS CONTEXT. END SUMMARY.

Le câble évoque le « thème Percy », mention du sénateur Charles Percy, qui soutenait l’idée que les États-Unis, en soutenant aveuglément les actions les plus contestables d’Israël, s’isolait sur la scène internationale et dans le monde arabe.

Israel bombs Gaza, shoots down West Bank youth
By Bill Van Auken
5 April 2013

Israel announced that it has placed its military on “high alert” Thursday as popular anger erupted following the deaths of a prominent Palestinian prisoner and two young protesters in the occupied West Bank.

Thousands joined funeral processions Thursday for Maysara Abuhamdia, a 64-year-old Palestine Liberation Organization veteran who died Tuesday in Israeli custody, and for two teenage cousins, Amer Nassar, 17, and Naki Belbisi, 18, who were shot down Wednesday night by Israeli troops using live ammunition against protests over Abuhamdia’s death.

 - Un célèbre chanteur palestinien arrêté risque une lourde peine de prison, sur des accusations très douteuses
http://www.info-palestine.eu/spip.php?article13401

Oday al-Khatib, 22 ans, qui est né et a grandi dans le camp de réfugiés d’Al Fawwar près d’Hébron, a été arrêté le 19 mars par des soldats israéliens qui pourchassaient de jeunes lanceurs de pierres à proximité. Il est un chanteur vedette d’Al Kamandjati, cette célèbre école de musique basée à Ramallah et fondée en 2005 par Ramzi Aburedwan. Oday a enregistré et fait des tournées avec différents groupes musicaux arabes en France, en Belgique, au Liban, en Norvège, en Italie, en Palestine, à Dubaï, en Algérie et en Autriche. (Ramzi et Al Kamandjati sont l’objet principal de mon nouveau livre, et l’histoire d’Oday y figurera en bonne place).

Les circonstances apparentes de l’arrestation d’Oday mettent en doute les accusations. Oday, selon des entretiens avec ses parents, attendait un ami sur une colline à Al Fawwar et ne faisait pas partie du groupe de jeunes lanceurs de pierres. Jihad Khatibn, le père d’Oday, a déclaré au représentant local du groupe israélien des droits de l’homme, B’Tselem : « Alors qu’Oday était en train d’attendre, un groupe de gosses s’est mis à lancer des pierres sur quelques soldats qui se trouvaient dans le coin. Et quand les soldats ont fait la chasse aux enfants, il ne lui est pas venu à l’esprit que les soldats pouvaient s’en prendre à lui. Autrement, il serait parti sans attendre ». La mère d’Oday, lors d’un entretien avec Céline Dagher d’Al Kamandjati, et son père Jihad en parlant avec mon collègue Anan Abu-Shanab, ont souligné qu’Oday ne pensait pas qu’il serait la cible des soldats. Anan a entendu Jihad dire : « Oday n’a pas couru quand il a vu les gamins foncer vers les lui », « et puis les soldats sont arrivés et l’ont arrêté ». La famille maintient qu’Oday attendait son ami sur la colline, avec qui il avait prévu de dîner, et que la lecture du téléphone portable d’Oday pourrait prouver qu’il a appelé son ami juste avant de quitter son domicile.

In The Lancet , Deirdre MacManus and colleagues 1 extend the findings from self-report studies and use the data from criminal records to show for the first time the link between combat and interpersonal violence. The consequences of interpersonal violence are enormous

Judge, jury and creditor: How Palestinians finance the Israeli military court system - Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
http://www.haaretz.com/news/features/judge-jury-and-creditor-how-palestinians-finance-the-israeli-military-court

In 2011 alone, Palestinians paid NIS 13 million in fines, which are an integral part of the penalty in the West Bank’s military court system.

Les amendes imposées lors des condamnations par des tribunaux militaires concernent toutes les catégories d’infractions : les infractions à la circulation, les infractions criminelles, le séjour illégal, les troubles à l’ordre et les activités terroristes hostiles.

... en 2011 des verdicts ont été émis contre 8.018 Palestiniens dans les tribunaux militaires de Ofer (pour la Judée) et Salem (pour la Samarie). Le rapport montre une diminution régulière du nombre d’actes d’accusation pour les infractions définies comme des activités terroristes hostiles : 1204 en 2011 contre 2898 en 2007.

En revanche, depuis 2007, il y a eu une augmentation constante des cas impliquant des infractions à la circulation. Durant ces cinq années, le nombre de cas a presque doublé, atteignant 4.904 en 2011, contre 2.605 en 2007.

La sincérité n’est pas toujours la vérité, disait l’autre. En l’occurence, ne jamais oublier que les dirigeants israéliens ne sont jamais sincères et ne disent jamais la vérité. Aujourd’hui par exemple : l’efficacité du « dôme » anti-missiles israélien serait proche de néant.
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/israels-iron-dome-grossly-over-hyped-scientists

The Iron Dome’s success rate of 84 percent, as reported by the Israeli military, may be as low as 5 percent, according to international expert in military defense Theodore Postol. He previously argued that the joint American-Israeli Patriot missile defense system was ineffective against Iraqi Scud missiles in the second Gulf War.

Postol and two other scientists, who have worked for billion dollar defense companies Raytheon and Rafael, reviewed video footage of the Iron Dome’s performance and concluded that images said to show rocket interception was actually the Dome’s missiles self-destructing.

Three months have passed since the ceasefire that brought an end to Israel’s eight-day attack on the Gaza Strip known as Operation “Pillar of Defence”. This infographic depicts the number of attacks on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli military during this three-month period, as well as the number of Palestinian attacks emanating from Gaza. Since late November, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have averaged over one a day, everyday. These include shootings by troops positioned along the border fence, attacks on fishermen working off the Gaza coast, and incursions by the Israeli army.

Israel: Gaza Airstrikes Violated Laws of War

http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/02/12/israel-gaza-airstrikes-violated-laws-war

At least 18 Israeli airstrikes during the fighting in Gaza in November 2012 were in apparent violation of the laws of war, Human Rights Watch said today after a detailed investigation into the attacks. These airstrikes killed at least 43 Palestinian civilians, including 12 children.

Human Rights Watch field investigations found 14 strikes by aerial drones or other aircraft for which there was no indication of a legitimate military target at the site at the time of the attack. In four other cases, attacks may have targeted Palestinian fighters, but appeared to use indiscriminate means or caused disproportionate harm to civilians.

Human Rights Watch did not attempt to investigate all Israeli airstrikes during the eight days of fighting called “Operation Pillar of Defense,” from November 14 to 21.

Journalists Punched by Israeli Officers After Fatal Shooting at West Bank Checkpoint - NYTimes.com

Two Palestinian journalists working for Reuters were punched, hit with rifle butts and forced to strip by Israeli soldiers on Wednesday as they tried to reach the scene of a fatal shooting at a West Bank checkpoint, the news agency reports. The soldiers then confiscated the crew’s camera and gas masks before letting off a tear-gas canister which forced one of the men to seek medical treatment.

Although the journalists had press credentials, they were not allowed to show them by the officers, who accused them of working instead for an Israeli human rights group, B’Tselem, which provides video cameras to Palestinians to help document life under Israeli military occupation.

Gaza woman dies of wounds from Israeli airstrike | Maan News Agency

Published today (updated) 26/11/2012 21:30

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — A Palestinian woman died on Monday from wounds sustained in Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, medics said.

Sabah al-Sakafi, in her 30s, was wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City during the eight-day war that ended Wednesday with a ceasefire.

She was transferred to an Egyptian hospital where she died on Monday, medics told Ma’an.

Also Monday, Ahmad Ali Masharawi died of wounds sustained in an Israeli strike that killed two of his relatives on the first day of Israel’s military offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Masharawi sustained major burns when an Israeli missile hit his garden in Gaza City on Nov. 14, killing 11-month-old Omar and 19-year-old Hiba, who was pregnant with twins.

BBC correspondent Paul Danahar wrote on Twitter that Ahmad Masharawi had been trying to carry Omar to safety when the house was hit engulfing them both in flames.

Ahmad’s brother,and Omar’s father, is BBC employee Jihad Masharawi, whose image cradling his dead son became a symbol of the conflict.

Second Committee Approves Text Demanding End to Israel’s Exploitation of Natural Resources in Occupied Arab Lands
http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2012/gaef3357.doc.htm

In other action today, the Committee approved — by a recorded vote of 152 in favour to 7 against (Australia, Canada, Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru, United States), with 3 abstentions (Cameroon, Colombia, Panama) — a draft resolution titled “Oil slick on Lebanese shores”.

By its terms, the Assembly would reiterate, for the seventh consecutive year, its deep concern over the destruction by the Israeli Air Force of oil storage tanks near Lebanon’s El-Jiyeh electric power plant due to its adverse implications for sustainable development in that country. By other terms, the Assembly would request that Israel assume responsibility for paying prompt and adequate compensation to Lebanon and Syria — whose shores had also been partially polluted — which should pay for the cost of restoring the marine environment and repairing environmental damage.

Following the vote, Israel’s representative said he was disappointed that the Committee had chosen to participate in “this annual ritual”. Year after year, the crucial work of the Committee had been “hijacked” by some delegations driven by narrow political motivations. The text failed to put the 2006 war into context, ignoring the fact that the Hizbullah terrorist organization had been the agitator, having launched rockets across international borders. It also ignored the fact that Hizbullah rockets killed and maimed Israelis, and failed to mention the destruction that those rockets caused in Israel, including damage to endangered fauna and flora caused by forest fires.

[Protection Palestine]- Des centaines à protester contre la visite de Clinton à Ramallah
http://www.protection-palestine.org/spip.php?article12139

Des centaines de jeunes Palestiniens ont protesté massivement contre la venue de la secrétaire d’État U.S., Hillary Clilnton, dans la ville cisjordanienne de Ramallah, et sa rencontre avec le Président palestinien, Mahmoud Abbas, a rapporté PNN (Réseau d’informations de Palestine).

Les manifestants brandissaient des photos d’enfants martyrisés par les missiles israéliens à Gaza, tandis qu’un certain nombre de manifestants brûlaient des drapeaux américains et scandaient des slogans contre les États-Unis pour leur soutien à Israël malgré ses crimes contre le peuple palestinien.

La manifestation a eu lieu près du siège présidentiel à Ramallah ; des militants des réseaux sociaux avaient appelé à manifester en Cisjordanie.

Un des manifestants a déclaré à PNN que cette manifestation avait lieu « à cause du soutien aveugle américain à Israël malgré ses crimes contre les civils, les enfants et les bébés, à Gaza », et il a ajouté que « les États-Unis étaient le pays qui empêchait la création d’un État palestinien indépendant ».

Il est à noter que les forces de sécurité palestiniennes se sont opposées à ce que les manifestants s’approchent des bureaux présidentiels, et les ont tenus à au moins 400 mètres de distance.

Après la rencontre Abbas-Clinton, un membre du Comité exécutif de l’OLP (Organisation pour la libération de la Palestine), le Dr Saeb Erekat, a déclaré qu’Abbas avait mis l’accent sur l’importance d’arrêter l’escalade.
