Wir sollten es beim Namen nennen: Israel richtet fast jeden Tag Leute ohne Gerichtsurteil hin. Jede andere Beschreibung ist eine Lüge. Wenn es in der Vergangenheit noch eine Diskussion über die Todesstrafe für Terroristen gab, so werden sie jetzt sogar ohne Gerichtsurteil (und ohne Diskussion) hingerichtet. Wenn es in der Vergangenheit noch eine Diskussion über Verantwortlichkeitsregeln gab, so ist heute Folgendes klar: Wir schießen, um zu töten – jeden verdächtigen Palästinenser.

Israeli forces kill 14-year-old Palestinian allegedly throwing Molotov cocktail

sraeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old Palestinian and detained another young boy in the occupied West Bank town of Halhul north of Hebron, after the two allegedly tried to throw Molotov cocktails at passing vehicles.

“During routine activity to secure Route 60,” Israeli forces "spotted two suspects attempting to throw Molotov cocktails at vehicles" on the highway, an Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an.

The forces then opened fire on the teenagers, killing one and detaining another, the spokesperson said.

Witnesses told Ma'an that they saw a child lying on the ground after hearing gunshots where Israeli forces were deployed in the al-Hawawer area of Halhul city. One witness told Ma'an that they saw Israeli soldiers putting the child into a black bag.

Another child was seen handcuffed and blindfolded.

When Israel turns houses into jails

Fadi Shaludi, 14, has not left his house since November. Every day, he sees the children from his neighborhood go off to school. He especially misses playing football with his friends and walking around Jerusalem’s Old City.

Fadi is under house arrest. He fears going downstairs, let alone to the corner shop next to his home. His punishment came after he was charged with throwing stones at Israeli troops during confrontations in Silwan, the area of occupied East Jerusalem where he lives, in October.

That incident also resulted in his mother, Shifa Obeido, being put under house arrest on charges of “incitement.” She awaits a trial that will likely see her forcibly transferred from Jerusalem.

Reprisal operation in Qabatiya

Last night and early Thursday morning the Israeli army raided Qabatiya, a village in the Jenin district of the West Bank.

Prior to the raid, the Israeli army declared Qabatiya a closed military zone and sealed all entrances to the village.

Israeli forces then invaded Qabatiya, raiding dozens of houses and arresting at least 12 Palestinians.

The siege of the village followed an attack against Israeli soldiers in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday. One Israeli soldier was killed and another was injured.

Three residents of Qabatiya carried out the attack and were killed at the scene.

Clashes erupt after caravan attempts to break Qabatiya closure

Clashes broke out when Palestinians from Jenin caravanned towards the nearby village of Qabatiya in the occupied West Bank in attempt to break a three-day blockade imposed on the village’s more than 20,000 residents.

The village was sealed by Israeli military forces after three residents carried out an attack in occupied East Jerusalem that left a 19-year-old Israeli police officer dead and another injured on Wednesday.

Dozens of Palestinian vehicles poured from the city of Jenin and Jenin refugee camp towards the village after Palestine Liberation Organization factions called for a march in protest of the closure.

Spokesperson of the PLO factions, Ali Zakarneh, told Ma’an that Israeli forces forcefully suppressed the march, firing tear gas bombs at vehicles attempting to enter Qabatiya from its northern side.

Israel revokes Israeli work permits from Qabatiya village residents

Israeli authorities will begin to revoke work permits from residents of Qabatiya, a village in the northern occupied West Bank, after a deadly attack carried out by three teens from the village last week, a spokesperson for the Palestine Liberation Organization said.

Ali Zakarna said Israeli forces have already revoked at least ten work permits at military checkpoints in the area.

The spokesman highlighted that the decision to revoke permits came hours after Israeli forces lifted a three-day blockade imposed on the village following the deadly attack committed by the village's three teens in occupied East Jerusalem which killed a 19-year-old Israeli border police officer and injured another.

Israel to 'close and confiscate' homes of 4 teens accused of stone throwing attacks

Israeli authorities on Sunday gave a notice of "closure and confiscation" on the family homes of four Palestinians aged 16-19 accused of causing an Israeli driver's death by throwing stones at his car in early September, the families said.

The families of Muhammad Salah Muhammad Abu Kiff, Walid Fares Mustafa al-Atrash, Abed Mahmoud Abed Rabbo Dawiyat, and Muhammad Jihad al-Taweel said their homes in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher are being confiscated in order to deter future attacks against Israelis.

The homes, which house 23 people, are to be closed and confiscated on Feb. 10.

Israel demolishes 9 Palestinian structures in Jordan Valley

Israeli forces on Thursday demolished five homes and four other Palestinian-owned structures in the Jordan Valley town of Tammun in the occupied West Bank.

A spokesperson for Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) told Ma'an that Israel's Civil Administration as well as security forces demolished the structures because they were built illegally "without necessary permits."

"As part of this enforcement, five residential tents and three buildings that were used as sheds, and a tin construction used as a restroom were demolished," COGAT said.

Told to leave, determined to stay: Bedouins of the Jordan Valley

On the sparsely populated northern stretch of the occupied West Bank’s Jordan Valley live tens of Bedouin families.

Neglected by both the Palestinian Authority and harassed by the Israeli military, these families have to survive without running water or electricity.

Any water wells dug by the families themselves will likely be destroyed by Israel, which maintains strict control over water resources in the occupied West Bank. Israel does not issue building permits for more permanent structures. Any attempt to build such structures will likely end in demolition.

Unit 8200 Hackers Investigated for Computer Theft

Ynet reports that two of the most élite cyber war units in the IDF came under suspicion several weeks ago. “Tens” of officers and non-commissioned officers in Unit 8200 (IDF’s SIGINT unit) and AMAN’s Unit 81 (military intelligence’s technology unit) are accused of using their hacking skills to derive “economic benefits” for themselves. The article notes that the hacking of the offenders came at the expense of their fellow soldiers in the Units (see below).

Those investigated have such high security classifications that the IDF military police needed to get special permission to examine their computers.

Palestinian MK sentenced for "disgracing a public servant"

Member of Knesset (MK) of the Joint List party, Haneen Zoabi, reached a plea bargain of six months of probation and a fine of NIS 3,000 at the Nazareth Magistrate's Court on Sunday for "disgracing a public servant."

Initially, the Attorney General wanted to charge Zoabi with “incitement” for allegedly telling a crowd of protesters in 2014 that Israeli Palestinians who work for government security forces “should be scared of us.” However, the charges were dropped after they were proved to be false.

Instead, Zoabi was charged on Sunday with “disgracing a public servant,” based on the claim that Zoabi called an Israeli Arab police officer a “traitor” at a protest in Nazareth on July 6, 2014.

The charges against Zoabi come as the Israeli government builds up an offensive against Palestinian Israeli MKs.

The Myth That Jews Are Always Victims of Persecution, Occupiers or Not

Because there is no official death sentence in Israel, 18 relatives of 17 Israelis who were murdered by Palestinians in 13 separate attacks are demanding that the families of the attackers be punished by “permanent” expulsion. “The real punishment that the murderers deserve is death,” explain the relatives in a letter sent to government ministers and published on news websites. “But Jewish compassion prevents us from resorting to it.” The letter and the demand are also signed by the families of five murdered Jews whose five attackers were killed at the site of the attack.

The letter rightfully points out one central fact: All the means of punishment and deterrence adopted by Israel until now haven’t stopped the wave of solo attacks. Not the killing of the attackers or suspected attackers on the spot nor the demolition of their families’ homes, neither long prison sentences nor restrictions on the family’s freedom of movement.

The State of Israel is changing its nature

Usually I don't like to use the concept "fascism" to describe the Israeli regime. First of all and above all, the State of Israel is a colonial State, and its institutions, policies and strategies belong to the broad family of colonialism. The basic relationship with the indigenous Arab population has been from the very beginning of the Zionist enterprise and still is today a colonial relationship. In that colonial framework, one can identify some specificities: civil rights for the Indigenous minority that were not pushed to exile in 1947-1949 and democratic institutions and mechanisms inside Israel, in its pre-67 borders. One must mention, however, the long series of discriminative laws and practices towards the Palestinian minority in the framework of the so-called "Jewish and Democratic State" of Israel.

Willkommen im Ghetto der „israelischen Araber“

Im Kopf, ganz sicher im Kopf – die Blutlache ist auf der linken Seite des Kopfes. Wie viele Kugeln? Kamen sie von hinten oder von vorne? Der halbe Schädel ist weggeblasen, das Gehirn quillt heraus. Offensichtlich ein großes Loch hier, man kann es sehen. Sie drehten den Körper um. Es gibt Bilder von ihm, wie er auf dem Rücken liegt und andere, wie er auf der Seite liegt. Drehten sie ihn mit ihren Füßen um?

Es ist spürbar kalt. Man sieht es in den Augen – im gefrorenen Blick der Bewohner von Arara. Kälte ist ein Gefühl und hat nichts mit der Temperatur im Winter zu tun. Es macht keinen Unterschied, ob man die Temperatur mit Celsius oder Fahrenheit misst. Deshalb werden die Nächte der Kindheit in Tira immer die kältesten sein. Mit dem Elektroheizer, der an Tagen ohne Stromausfall ein wenig Wärme spendet, den gestreiften oder geblümten Wolldecken und den dünnen Matratzen mit der Standardstickerei.

Jeder erkennt sie, wenn nicht von zu Hause, dann aus dem Haus der Eltern oder Großeltern. Sie erkennen die Armut, die Glasflasche mit Limonade, den weißen Zucker, unser Geschirr und die Flecken von schwarzem Kaffee, der über den Dallah floss– ja so wird das Gefäß genannt, denn es ist kein Finjan. Finjan ist das kleine, normalerweise angemalte Glas, aus dem der Kaffee getrunken wird. Aber geh dich mit den “yefei blorit veto’ar”, den hübschen, gefälligen Sabras streiten.

Portraits of Palestine’s youth rebellion

“Nobody organizes us. We do not want to depend on anyone or have money involved. It’s better to be independent.” East of al-Bureij refugee camp, Gaza Strip

For nearly four months, popular protests, violence and general unrest have buffeted the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, leading some commentators to suggest a third intifada or uprising.

Most of this is driven by restive and young people tired of endless and evidently pointless negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israel that have brought no end to Israel’s military occupation and only seen its illegal settlements expand.

“This is our land. We must do anything to free it from occupation,” says Mahmoud, 26, from al-Azzeh refugee camp in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Mahmoud (not his real name, since Israel frequently arrests protesters) has been a regular participant in demonstrations against the military occupation, in which youth confront Israeli forces with stones and, less frequently, Molotov cocktails. The army tries to suppress these protests with tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets and live ammunition.

Since the beginning of last October, which witnessed increased confrontation with the occupation, more than 160 Palestinians and approximately two dozen Israelis have been killed. A United Nations monitoring group recorded a weekly average of 1,000 Palestinian injuries at the hands of the Israeli army during the last quarter of 2015.
