Call from Palestine: Stop the execution of our children!

We, the undersigned Palestinian political forces and organizations, appeal to local and international institutions, human rights organisations and democratic forces for immediate and decisive action concerning the execution of Palestinian children by Israeli occupation forces and settlers. To date, 18 Palestinian children have been killed and executed in cold blood at the checkpoints and on the streets since the beginning of the current Palestinian uprising. Dozens of Palestinian children have been injured, arrested and brutally interrogated by Israeli forces.

Israeli forces shoot, injure 82 Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank

Netanyahu responsible for executions of children, rights group says

The human rights group B’Tselem excoriated Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, stating that he is responsible for “the transformation of police officers, and even of armed civilians, into judges and executioners” who slay Palestinians suspected of armed attacks in the streets.

“Your silence in the face of Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan’s saying that ‘every terrorist should know that he will not survive the attack he is about to perpetrate’ is tantamount to consent to this unlawful policy,” B’Tselem said, addressing the Israeli prime minister.

The Israeli rights group said the policy amounts to a de facto death sentence, even though capital punishment is banned in the country.

Hundreds of Palestinians attended the funeral of a 19-year-old Palestinian who was shot and killed in al-Arrub refugee camp in northern Hebron on Thursday during clashes.

Mourners carried the body of Khalid Mahmoud al-Jawabreh to a cemetery in the camp, with locals demanded a response to the "execution policy" of Israeli military forces.

Al-Jawabrah was shot twice in the stomach by Israeli soldiers and later died from his injuries in Hebron's al-Ahli hospital.

The teenager was shot during clashes in the camp between youths and armed Israeli military forces.

Palestinian shot dead after alleged vehicle attack east of Jerusalem

A Palestinian man was shot dead on Friday after allegedly running over two Israeli soldiers in a vehicle attack east of Jerusalem, locals and Israel's army said.

The Israeli military said there was a "car ramming attack" at a bus station east of Jerusalem, near the Kfar Adumim settlement, which left two soldiers injured.

Israeli police said that an Israeli settler who was in the area shot dead the Palestinian suspect following the incident.

Locals told Ma'an that the man, identified as Fadi Muhammad Mahmoud Khasib, 25, from the Ein Misbah area of Ramallah, was killed.

Both Israeli soldiers were lightly injured and taken to the Shaare Zedek hospital for treatment.

Fadi's brother, Shadi, was shot dead on Sunday by an Israeli settler near the scene of Friday's incident by the illegal Kafr Adumim settlement.

Israeli police said that following a car accident in the area a Palestinian
man "walked out his vehicle with a knife in his hand and was shot dead."

Locals say Shadi got out of his vehicle to check for damage following an accident and was shot dead by a settler.

Israeli forces raid al-Fawwar refugee camp, injure 5

Clashes broke out in the al-Fawwar refugee camp in southern Hebron on Thursday when residents attempted to prevent Israeli forces from reaching the home of a Palestinian killed after stabbing an Israeli soldier, locals said.

A resident of the camp, Adel al-Muhseiri, told Ma’an that messages were relayed through speakers in the refugee camp after the forces entered, calling on locals to stop them from accessing the home of Muhammad Shubaki, 19.

Youths threw rocks, empty bottles and Molotov cocktails while Israeli soldiers responded with live fire, tear gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets, al-Muhseiri said.

Five Palestinians were injured with live bullets, one of whom was hit in the stomach, while dozens of residents suffered from tear gas inhalation.

Why won’t Israel allow autopsy on youth killed by police?

A refusal by the Israeli police to allow an autopsy on a young Palestinian killed by its officers indicates a cover-up.

On 17 October, Mutaz Uweisat was killed by the police in Armon Hanatziv, an Israeli settlement in occupied East Jerusalem.

Israeli police have alleged that the 16-year-old boy tried to stab a border guard.

Palestinian human rights groups are calling for an investigation of the officer implicated in the killing.

In a request submitted earlier this month, the two groups, Adalah and Addameer, also urged that an autopsy be carried out in the presence of a medical officer approved by the Uweisat family.

Five days after submitting the request, Adalah issued a statement saying that the police had refused to perform an autopsy and that an Israeli court in Jerusalem had refused to order one. The police had decided to close its examinations of the incident, the group reported.

The Israeli authorities have still not handed over Mutaz’s body to his family. They have similarly refused to return, or delayed returning, the bodies of many other Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.

Israel’s refusal to allow an investigation into the incident makes its account impossible to verify. A number of other recent allegations made by the Israeli authorities against young Palestinians shot dead by its forces have turned out to be inaccurate.

In Israel's democracy, dissent has always been off limits to Arab citizens

The banning of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement may seem like a new low, but a closer look at history reveals how the state has been at war with Palestinian political organizations since its very inception.

Israel’s Palestinian citizens have never had an easy time organizing politically. The government’s decision to outlaw the northern branch of the Islamic Movement is only the latest — and perhaps most significant — example of the hurdles Arab citizens must face in their struggle for equality.

Google Will Censor Videos Inciting Palestinian Violence

Bibi Netanyahu has been blaming U.S. internet companies like Facebook for the current Palestinian uprising. I’ve taken to calling it the “Facebook Intifada.” Now there’s a new Silicon Valley target.

Today, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Tzipi Hotovely, who’s devoutly wished to see Israel rebuild the Holy Temple (thereby destroying the Haram al Sharif), announced (in Hebrew, English here) that she’d met with YouTube’s CEO and Google’s director of public policy at its Silicon Valley campus. During this meeting, according to a Maariv article, Hotovely schooled the executives about the ways in which pro-Palestine propaganda infects the internet and incites impressionable young Palestinian children to knife innocent victims.

What struck me about the article was the conclusion, in which Hotovely says that Google agreed to create a formal mechanism enabling formal coöperation between the foreign ministry and the company regarding the issue of incitement as played out in YouTube’s video content. In other words, she implied that Google would collaborate with Israel on identifying and removing videos that “incited” violence against Israel.
