PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

IS ISRAEL GUILTY OF PIRACY?
Radhika Sainath, The Electronic Intifada, 13 July 2009

When the Israeli navy seized the Spirit of Humanity and
its 21 passengers on 30 June, did the commandos commit
acts of piracy under international law? Civil rights
attorney Radhika Sainath argues that the laws of piracy
should not be selectively applied to poor Africans who
hijack huge tankers belonging to rich corporations, but
enforced against Israel as well.

PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

THE VICTORY OF DEFEAT
Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 10 July 2009

While Israel has been buying yet more time with Washington
in bickering over a paltry settlement freeze, it has been
forging ahead with the process of creating two Palestinian
territories, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, that,
despite supposedly emerging from occupation, are in
reality sinking ever deeper into chronic dependency on
Israeli goodwill. This is creating a culture of absolute
Israeli control and absolute Palestinian dependency,
enforced by proxy Palestinian rulers acting as
mini-dictatorships. Jonathan Cook comments.

PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

DESTROYING GAZA
Sara Roy, The Electronic Intifada, 9 July 2009

Recently, I spoke with some friends in Gaza and the
conversations were profoundly disturbing. My friends spoke
of the deeply-felt absence of any source of protection --
personal, communal or institutional. There is little in
society that possesses legitimacy and there is a fading
consensus on rules and an eroding understanding of what
they are for. Sara Roy comments.

HEIDELBERGCEMENT TRIES TO SELL WEST BANK MINES AS LEGAL,
BOYCOTT PRESSURES GROW
Adri Nieuwhof, The Electronic Intifada, 13 July 2009

HeidelbergCement, one of the world's largest manufacturers
of building materials, is reportedly trying to sell its
Israeli investments as it has become the target of legal
action because of its activities in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories (OPT). Adri Nieuwhof reports for
EI that the move comes amid growing pressure by the
boycott, divestment and sanctions movement on
transnational companies profiting from Israeli occupation.

Marcey Gayer, Live from Palestine, 10 July 2009

Fawzieh al-Kurd, 57, clad in black, spends her days on a
promontory overlooking Tomb of Simon the Righteous in the
Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem. Enduring the
cold of winter and the summer's blazing sun, she relates
her family's tragic story to visitors from around the
world with dignity and resolve. Marcey Gayer writes from
occupied East Jerusalem.
