Kaufman, who is a member of the Jewish Labour Movement, formerly Poale Zion,[16][17] a socialist group with the Labour party in Britain, is critical of Israel. Kaufman has called for economic sanctions and an arms ban against Israel, citing the success of such measures against apartheid South Africa.[18] In 2002, he referred to Israel as a "pariah state",[19] and called Israel's senior politicians "war criminals".

2 Palestinians killed at checkpoint after alleged stab attempt

Israeli forces on Saturday shot and killed two Palestinian men at the al-Hamra military checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, witnesses said.

Witnesses told Ma’an that the two men were stopped at the checkpoint -- also known as Beqaot -- and asked by military forces to exit their vehicle, at which point the forces shot them dead.

The witnesses said they did not see the men wielding knives, and told Ma’an the two were “killed in cold blood.” The men sold wholesale goods and were reportedly on their way to distribute merchandise to grocery shops, witnesses added.

Palestinian shot after alleged stabbing attempt in Jerusalem

A Palestinian man was shot and moderately wounded after he allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli police officer in central Jerusalem on Monday afternoon, Israeli police and medics said.

Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld initially reported that two Israelis were wounded in the alleged attack near Jerusalem's light rail, with the Palestinian "terrorist" shot and wounded.

However, a spokesperson for Hadassah hospital later confirmed that neither Israeli had sustained stab wounds. "No one got stabbed," she said.

Young Palestinian patriot cut down by Israeli bullet

Mahmoud Alayan was a Fatah party supporter and an active member of its campus chapter at his school.

He was also an implacable opponent of the status quo in occupied territory to which a Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority clings.

The Israeli occupation, he insisted, had to be confronted. And so he did, in defiance of his own leadership and an authority that has invested heavily in preventing confrontations with the army.

That defiance ultimately cost him his life. He was fatally wounded by a rubber-coated steel bullet fired by Israeli soldiers at a demonstration in November near the Beit El settlement outside al-Bireh, a West Bank town contiguous with neighboring Ramallah, seat of the PA.

Over the past week, the PA has been dispersing — violently at times — demonstrators trying to march on the checkpoint near the Beit El settlement, home to the Civil Administration, the bureaucratic arm of Israel’s military occupation.

The PA had recently allowed demonstrations in the area, a departure from previous policy, not wishing to itself become the target of growing Palestinian frustrations.

The generation to which Mahmoud Alayan belongs — born after the Oslo agreement signed by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, leading to the creation of the PA — is disillusioned with decades of peace talks that have not slowed Israeli colonization and violence.

Killings of Palestinians in West Bank hit 10-year high

Since the start of January, at least five Palestinians and three Israeli citizens have been slain.

The latest deaths came after the number of Palestinians killed in violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank hit a 10-year high in 2015.

By the end of the year, at least 136 Palestinians had been killed and nearly 14,000 injured in the West Bank, according to the UN monitoring group OCHA, the highest figures since 2005.

Twenty-four Palestinians were killed in Gaza, the vast majority by Israeli forces firing at demonstrators across the boundary fence, and around 1,500 were injured.

Israeli casualties from violence by Palestinians in 2015 were the highest recorded since 2008, with 24 deaths and 350 injuries, according to OCHA.

Dozens attend funeral of Palestinian teen shot dead day earlier

Large numbers of Palestinians joined the funeral procession of 17-year-old Ahmad Younis al-Kawazba in the West Bank village of Sair on Wednesday, a day after he was shot dead while attacking an Israeli soldier.

Hebron's District Attorney Alaa Tamimi told Ma'an that an autopsy showed that Kawazba was killed by a single gunshot that hit his neck and lungs. He said the autopsy suggested the 17-year-old had been left to bleed to death and had received no medical treatment.

Israeli forces stormed the eastern outskirts of Beit Ummar in northern Hebron on Tuesday evening and confiscated an agricultural tractor, a local official told Ma'an.

Muhammad Ayyad Awad, a spokesperson for the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ummar, said the tractor was taken from the town's Shib al-Ghafar area and belongs to local farmer Anwar Muhammad Ahmad Abu Mariya.

He said locals were told the tractor was confiscated because it was parked near a construction site whose owner, Adham Sabir Zamil, was issued a stop-work order.

Uno-Berichterstatter für Palästinensergebiete hat zurücktreten

Der Sonderberichterstatter des Uno-Menschenrechtsrates für die Lage in den von Israel besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten hat seinen Dienst quittiert. Der Indonesier Makarim Wibisono begründete seinen Rücktritt damit, dass Israel die Ausübung seines Amts stets behindert habe. So sei ihm trotz mehrfacher Bemühungen nie der Zugang zu den besetzten Palästinensergebieten – dem Gazastreifen sowie Teile des Westjordanlandes – gewährt worden. Der Diplomat hatte 2014 den Posten übernommen.

Palästina nach Abbas: Die Zukunft eines Volkes steht auf dem Spiel

Obwohl Mahmoud Abbas in seiner Fernsehansprache zum 51. Jahrestag der Gründung der Gruppe seine Fatah-Parteianhänger inspirieren wollte, betonte er aber nur noch die beispiellose Krise, die das palästinensische Volk ins Chaos stürzt. Abbas klang nicht nur defensiv und ohne ernsthafte oder neue Initiativen, aber seine letzte Absicht erschien so, als handelte es sich um nichts anderes als um sein politisches Überleben.
