Der Bericht einer US-Denkfabrik, von Israelis mitverfasst, drängt auf die Erfassung „biometrischer Daten“ von Palästinensern

Das Zentrum für eine neue amerikanische Sicherheit (Center for a New American Security, CNAS) ist eine Denkfabrik mit Sitz in Washington, die durch liberale clintonsche Interventionen ins Leben gerufen wurde (die Neokonservativen sehr gut passen). Diese Denkfabrik hat vor kurzem einen neuen Bericht veröffentlicht, der das Ziel verfolgt, die Zweistaatenlösung wiederzubeleben, indem man auf die Sicherheitsbedürfnisse der Israelis und Palästinenser eingeht.

Gazans on Brink of Further Humanitarian Disaster as Blockade's Battering Goes On

As the blockade of Gaza—widely denounced as "collective punishment"—marks its ninth anniversary this month, Oxfam is urging the global community to apply pressure on Israel to allow the territory's residents to exercise their most fundamental human rights.

Israel imposed the blockade in 2007 when Hamas gained control of the territory, and is, according to a panel of experts reporting to the UN Human Rights Council, in "flagrant contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law."

And, according to the international aid group's Country Director Chris Eijkemans, it "is making a dire situation worse."

How Israel justifies increased arrest rate of Palestinians

At the onset of 2016, the number of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons increased significantly, specifically those detained for social media posts. This is the latest Israeli strategy against Palestinians to halt the uprising.

In Jerusalem, eve of Ramadan marked by extremist Israelis' racist taunts

In the Muslim quarter of the Old City in occupied East Jerusalem, where Israeli army checkpoints, barriers, raids, and the presence of extremist Jewish groups are an almost daily occurrence, the holy month of Ramadan is anticipated as a time of relative calm and respite.

As the month-long Muslim holiday begins, Palestinian residents and Muslim worshipers transform the typically dark, narrow alleyways of the Old City into glittering walkways, adorned with hanging lights, lanterns decorated with Arabic scripture, and filled with the sounds of Ramadan songs as worshipers prepare for the first day of fasting.

Israeli soldiers apparently kick knife towards body of man 'executed' in Hebron

A video has emerged that seems to show a knife being kicked in the direction of an alleged Palestinian attacker who is seen lying on the ground.

The new footage, obtained by Israel's Channel Two, may show what happened shortly before an Israeli soldier shot the Palestinian in the head in March, despite him being wounded and lying on the ground. It is not clear who moves the knife in the video but voices are heard calling for the knife to be kicked closer to the body.

The March killing of 21-year-old Abed al-Fatah al-Sharif caused widespread shock and condemnation from rights groups and liberal Israelis, some of whom have dubbed the killing an execution.

The vulnerability of Palestinian women in Israel

"I think twice before going out to Tel Aviv. I calculate how long the trip is, how long it will take, what the route is," said Sawsan Kurdi, a 53-year-old mother of six from Jaffa.

"We're talking about traditional women with a headscarf," she added. "If you get on a bus, they might ask you to leave. Or they might try to take your scarf off."

One of the oldest port cities in the world, Jaffa was the centre of Palestinian life before 1948. Today, the city is part of the Tel Aviv municipality and is fast being gentrified. Around 20,000 Palestinians remain, comprising a third of Jaffa's inhabitants.

Israel's smartest student is an Arab

Mohammed Zeidan, from the Arab community of Kafr Manda in northern Israel, is the only Arab in Israel who has been able to get the ultranationalist Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Arab Knesset member Ahmad Tibi from the Joint List to exchange warm greetings. Zeidan, 19, scored an 800 on Israeli's Psychometric Entrance Test, the highest possible score. Tibi praised his achievement on Twitter, and Bennett was quick to retweet Tibi’s greeting, leading the two political foes to exchange kind words.

LGBT activists accuse Israel of 'pinkwashing' Palestinian occupation

Tens of thousands of revellers took part in Friday's Gay Pride parade in Tel Aviv, an annual event promoted and funded by the city that draws worldwide attention.

But Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender campaigners have accused Israel of spending lavishly to paint itself pink in an effort to restore a liberal image tarnished by its occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Someone Is Launching Cyber Attacks on Websites Critical of Israel

Early this year, swarms of thousands of bots took aim at the main website for the Palestinian BDS National Committee, with the intent of taking the website offline for good.

The Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) employed tens of thousands of unique IP addresses to send a huge flux of malicious traffic to the website. To do it, they employed two so-called 'botnets' — basically linked networks of dummy or infected computers that work in unison.

But the committee's website, bdsmovement.net, wasn't the only one targeted, raising the possibility that this wasn't run-of-the-mill cyber vandalism, but instead a targeted campaign by the opponents of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement.

Israel's selective memory on Armenian genocide

News broadcasts on Israeli TV June 2 were dominated by two stories. The first reported that the German parliament had voted to recognize the World War I massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks as genocide. The resolution was approved by a majority of lawmakers from all parties, headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats. In response, Ankara recalled its ambassador from Berlin “for consultations.” The second news report heralded a breakthrough in negotiations between Israel and Turkey on settling the 2010 Mavi Marmara flotilla crisis and easing the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Officials in Jerusalem predict the Turkish ambassador, who was recalled back to Ankara at the time, will soon be reinstated in Tel Aviv.

Das jüdische Volk ist wieder in großer Gefahr und die Welt schweigt

Das jüdische Volk ist wieder in großer Gefahr. Nicht das gesamte Volk, nur ein Teil davon. Der im östlichen Mittelmeerraum versammelte Teil. Diesmal haben sich nicht die üblichen Bösewichte erhoben, um uns auszurotten. Diesmal kommen sie aus unserer eigenen Mitte. Denn eigenhändig haben wir die über uns herrschenden Hunnen inthronisiert. Eine wildgewordene, bösartige, erwartungs- und hemmungslose Clique, die ihre Herde mit dem Kopf direkt an die Wand fährt.

Und die Welt schweigt...

Die britische Historikerin Catherine Hall lehnt einen israelischen Preis von 300 000€ aus „politischen Gründen“ ab

Eine renommierte britische Historikerin hat einen israelischen akademischen Preis von Hunderttausenden von Pfund abgelehnt, nachdem sie „zahlreiche Diskussionen“ über den israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikt geführt hatte.

Professor Catherine Hall des University College London lehnte den Forschungspreis von 300 000 € ab und beschrieb ihre Entscheidung als „eine unabhängige politische Wahl“.

Professor Hall, die in Kolonialgeschichte spezialisiert ist, sollte während der Zeremonie Sonntagabend in Tel Aviv einen Preis von der Dan David Stiftung entgegennehmen, verzichtete aber auf die Teilnahme.

What’s behind the US media’s special relationship with Israel?

The Occupation of the American Mind poses the question: why are mainstream US media such a reliable conduit for Israeli propaganda compared to other countries?

In attempting to answer this question, the film, narrated by Roger Waters, illuminates not just the inner workings of Israeli hasbara (propaganda) but also the root causes of the occupation itself by depicting the systematic denial of Palestinians’ human and national rights.

This film could not possibly arrive at a better time, given the extent to which Israeli hasbara will be promoted during the US presidential election campaign.

It explores a relatively unexamined aspect of the US-Israel “special relationship” and helps explain why a majority of Americans influenced by media bias support and identify with the Israeli narrative.

The revelations made in the documentary will engage both those unfamiliar with the Palestinian narrative along with veteran solidarity activists who may think they’ve seen it all.https://electronicintifada.net/content/whats-behind-us-medias-special-relationship-israel/16951
