WHAT'S NEXT FOR NAHR AL-BARED
By Jamal Ghosn, Electronic Lebanon, Sep 6, 2007

Victory celebrations are dominating the Lebanese airwaves
for the foreseeable future and presidential election
"campaigns" here are in full swing. The issue of
reconstructing the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp will never
see the light of day in any of the Lebanese media outlets,
whether pro-government or opposition -- just like the
humanitarian crisis at Baddawi refugee camp has failed to
capture any front page headlines over the past three
months. Jamal Ghosn comments.

LEGAL VICTORY IN STRUGGLE AGAINST WALL
By Nora Barrows-Friedman, The Electronic Intifada, 6 Sep 2007

On Tuesday, the Israeli high court decided in favor of a
petition drawn up by the Palestinian villagers of Bil'in
in the occupied West Bank to change the current route of
the illegal apartheid wall which encircles the small
village. For years, residents of Bil'in, along with
international and Israeli activists, have led nonviolent
resistance actions every week against the encroaching wall
and the illegal settlement colonies that expand on a daily
basis on their land. Nora Barrows-Friedman reports for EI.

SARAH, MAHMOUD AND YEHYA
By Yassmin Moor, The Electronic Intifada, 5 Sep 2007

Sarah Abu Ghazal's school uniform still lay on her
mattress, untouched as she had left it before running out
after her cousins Mahmoud and Yehya Abu Ghazal on
Wednesday, 29 August. She was to begin the fourth grade on
2 September, but her friend Amani, who has accompanied her
to school since the first grade, would walk alone this
year. Sarah's mother had bought her the blue school
uniform, blue jeans and the black shoes just the day
before she was killed by Israel tank fire. Her mother
waited until the last minute to buy Sarah's school
supplies because she was waiting for her husband's salary
which he had not received since June.

HAMAS FLAG GOES UP IN LEBANON CAMPS
By Anand Gopal, Electronic Lebanon, Sep 5, 2007

BADDAWI CAMP, Lebanon, 5 September (IPS) - There is a new
look to the entrance of the Palestinian refugee camp
Baddawi in northern Lebanon. Hanging above the armed man
who guards the entrance are posters of Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, the slain spiritual leader of Hamas, and other
fighters from the Palestinian guerrilla group. Nearby, a
huge Hamas banner covers the side of a house, and down the
road Hamas flags flutter in the wind.
