Israels Bildungsminister: Palästinenser müssen getötet werden und in geheimen Friedhöfen beerdigt werden

Der israelische Bildungsminister Naftali Bennett von der extrem rechten Jüdische Heim-Partei rief dazu auf, die Palästinenser zu ermorden, die Aktivisten gegen die Besatzung sind. Man sollte auch die Wohnungen ihrer Familie zerstören, um den Widerstand in den besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten zu unterdrücken.

Flooding, mold in Etzion jail causing illness among detainees

Palestinian prisoners in Israel's Etzion prison are suffering from a lack of protection against cold and wet conditions, leading to illness and infections that are neglected by the prison service, a lawyer with the Palestinian Authority Prisoners' Affairs Committee said on Wednesday.

Lawyer for the committee Hussien al-Sheikh said Etzion is "flooded" from heavy rainfall in recent days. The flooding has ruined prisoners' clothing and blankets, as mold has taken root in the dampened materials.

Al-Sheikh added that due to the poor conditions, flu and skin infection have started to spread among the prisoners, who remain untreated.

In addition to deteriorating living conditions in the jail, al-Sheikh documented cases of Israeli authorities insulting, beating and torturing prisoners during interrogations.

Israeli farms exploit Thai workers and Palestinian children as government looks the other way

“This is not what I expected,” Dusit Doting says as he stands outside the white shipping container that he now calls home. The other Thai agricultural workers standing around Doting appear to agree with the sentiment. They work long hours, in often dangerous and hazardous situations, and all for less than the legal Israeli minimum wage of 25 NIS an hour.

The Israeli left still has European colonial dreams

How did it come about that I, while I acknowledge the Nakba and favour the establishment of a new Jewish-Palestinian nationhood in this land, do not describe myself as a leftist?

It's about the fact that the leftist struggle in Israel is not a popular or class struggle, but an elitist one with a sectarian face. Being leftist in Israel is no longer about an ideology; "left" has become a symbol of identity, part of the struggle over identity politics that has so inflamed our era.

I wish in this article to stimulate discussion among English readers about the meaning of being leftist, not just in Israel but also in Europe and the West. The special case of the state of Israel, a place where the occupier is also a former victim, introduces an element that seems relevant in other contexts as well, including perhaps the expansion of green parties at the expense of the traditional red/social parties.

Hamas digs deep in Gaza for 'coming' underground war

For Gazans, the buzz of drones or the roar of fighter jets provide a near-constant reminder of Israel’s strategic dominance of the space above their heads.

But many here believe the next war could potentially be fought over the ground beneath their feet.

While exchanges of air strikes and rocket attacks have punctuated previous battles, Hamas’s main preparations for a future conflict are taking place out of sight and deep underground.

Analysts in Gaza say that tunnels are now seen as offering the best line of defence from an Israeli assault, as well as a potential route into Israeli territory for fighters tasked with retaliatory attacks and a potent psychological weapon.

Hamas too is lauding the tunnel builders for whom the threat of often deadly collapses is an ever-present danger.

Wie Israel „Palästinenser in Zionisten verwandelt“ indem es den palästinensischen Schulen israelische Lehrpläne aufzwingt

Israel übt finanziellen Druck auf palästinensische Schulen im besetzten Ost-Jerusalem in dem Bestreben aus, dass sie zu einem israelisch kontrollierten Lehrplan wechseln, nach lokalen Aktivisten und Offiziellen.

Fast alle Ost-Jerusalemer Schulen benützen einen Lehrplan, der von der palästinensischen Behörde entwickelt wurde, einer palästinensischen Regierung im Werden, die Mitte der 90er-Jahre durch das Oslo-Abkommen geschaffen wurde. Vorher richteten sie sich nach dem jordanischen Lehrplan.

Palästinensische Offizielle wehren sich heftig dagegen und warnen davor – es sei Teil intensiver Bemühungen Israels, Ost-Jerusalem vom benachbarten Westjordanland zu trennen und seine Kontrolle über die 300 000 Palästinenser der Stadt zu haben.

Friedensbemühungen haben lange basiert auf die Idee, Israel würde seine Besatzung Ost-Jerusalems beenden und die Stadt als Hauptstadt eines zukünftigen palästinensischen Staates anerkennen.

„Dieser Angriff auf unseren Lehrplan ist Teil von Israels Krieg gegen unsere palästinensische Identität“, sagte Sabri Saidam, der palästinensische Bildungsminister zu Al Jazeera. „Israel ist dabei, seine illegale Besatzung zu festigen“.

Israel versuchte, den israelischen Lehrplan schon 1967, als es Ost-Jerusalem eroberte, aufzuzwingen, war aber gezwungen worden, dies nach monatelangen Streiks und Protesten der Eltern und Schüler zurückzunehmen.
