PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

COMPROMISING FOR GAZA WITHOUT COMPROMISING PALESTINE 
By Gabriel Ash, Mich Levy and Sara Kershnar, The Electronic Intifada, 9 September 2009 

A call to organize a large march to break the siege of
Gaza immediately captured the imagination of many
organizers. However, after the initial call, the framework
of the march was challenged by highly-respected
Palestinian activists. Their criticism, expressed with the
utmost respect for the courage and good will of the
organizers, challenged the organizers' decision to delay
engaging in a wide conversation with Palestinian civil
society and activists until after the call was made and
the framework formulated. Gabriel Ash, Mich Levy and Sara
Kershnar comment for The Electronic Intifada.

NO WINDOWS, PENS IN GAZA'S CLASSROOMS 
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 10 September 2009 

GAZA CITY, occupied Gaza Strip (IRIN) - Some 1,200
students at al-Karmel High School for boys in Gaza City
returned to class on 25 August without history and English
textbooks, or notebooks and pens -- all unavailable on the
local market. Severe damage to the school, caused during
the 23-day Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip which ended
on 18 January, has yet to be repaired. Al-Karmel's
principal, Majed Yasin, has had to cover scores of broken
windows with plastic sheeting.

By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 9 September 2009 

The increasingly harsh political climate in Israel under
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government

several years. Jonathan Cook reports.

PALESTINIANS IN LIMBO IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM 
By Jerrold Kessel and Pierre Klochendler, The Electronic Intifada, 8 September 2009 

OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM (IPS) - In the early morning
sunlight, the smoky window of the plush new apartment
reflects back a golden tinge from the Dome of the Rock
that stands at the heart of Islam's third holiest shrine.
Down across the valley from the walled Old City, families
have already started moving into some of the 91 apartments
in this new 240-family compound of Jewish settlers.

ISRAEL DESTROYS GAZA BOATS AND LIVES 
By Eva Bartlett, The Electronic Intifada, 7 September 2009 

GAZA CITY, occupied Gaza Strip (IPS) - Until last Monday,
Omar and Khaled al-Habil were the owners of a 20 meter
fishing trawler staffed by five or six fishermen at a
time, but employing around 18 in cycles. But that morning
the vessel came under heavy Israeli navy machine-gun fire,
and then shelling. The trawler caught fire. "It's
destroyed, completely destroyed," says al-Habil.
