A Tel Aviv day-trip shouldn’t be a crime | SethFreedmanby Seth Freedman (Hija delZion para Israel - Daughter ofZion for Israel)

Submitted at 6/28/2010 3:37:12 AM

Prosecuting Ilana Hammerman fortaking three Palestinian girls to TelAviv will foment discord and do littleto protect Israelis Despite government claims to thecontrary, Israel’s borders are far fromimpenetrable to residents of theoccupied Palestinian territories. Theseparation wall is only 60% complete,numerous ways to circumnavigatecheckpoints exist throughout theWest Bank, and poorly patrolledperimeters provide any would-beterrorist with ample opportunity forsecurity breaches. It is an open secret that thousands ofPalestinian labourers illegally crossinto Israel every day seeking casualwork, yet if Israel’s hawkish right isto believed, the only thing preventinga new wave of suicide attacks is aniron-fist policy towards Palestinians’freedom of movement. Such a wilfuldistortion of reality is behind thescandalous police investigation ofI lana Hammerman, an Is rae l ijournalist facing prosecution forviolating the “law of entry intoIsrael”. Hammerman’s crime was to takethree Palestinian girls on a day-trip toTel Aviv , in an ac t o f c iv i ldisobedience intended to highlight thein jus t i ce o f I s rae l ’ s mi l i t a ryoccupation of the West Bank. In amoving article for Haaretz, she wroteof their fraught experience avoidingdetection at the hands of borderguards and police as she ferried herquarry around the sights of Tel Avivand Jaffa. Even though they lived amere hour’s drive away from thecoast, the girls had never once seenthe sea nor walked the streets ofIsrael’s largest city, thanks to theheavy restrictions imposed by theIDF.

Hammerman openly acknowledgesher awareness of breaking the law,s e e m i n g l y p r e p a r e d f o r t h econsequences of admitting to herdeeds in public: “I did not do this inrash defiance, but rather after muchthought. Out of a need, that hasbecome ever more pressing in the lastyears, to raise certain essential issuesfor in-depth public discussion inIsraeli society”. In her eyes, her ownliberty is worth sacrificing if it assistsin the struggle to bring freedom to themillions of Palestinians held captivein their West Bank cantons. Her bold actions have, inevitably,incurred the wrath of groups on theIsraeli right, including the LegalForum for the Land of Israel(LFLI) –an organisation founded to fight forset t ler r ights during the 2005disengagement. LFLI filed a formalcomplaint with Israel’s attorneygeneral, calling for Hammerman to beprosecuted for her violation of thelaw, beginning a process which couldresult in her spending up to two yearsin jail. According to LFLI director generalNachi Eyal, a prominent figure in thesettler movement, “she wantedeveryone to know that you can takePalestinians in against the law and lieto police officers and the army. I wantto send a message that no citizen inIsrael can take the law into his handsand if he does they have to pay”. Hammerman i s an easy andconvenient target for the likes ofNachi, despite her crimes paling bycomparison to the countless Israelibusinesses employing Palestiniansillegally on a daily basis, includingemployers wi th in Wes t Bankse t t l ements . For others, Hammerman’s defiantgesture is a laudable stand against theIsraeli government’s inequitablepolicies. One Israeli activist workingwith Palestinian youth in the southHebron hills describes her as “one ofthe great Israelis of our time” for her

tireless campaigning, with othersrallying support for her cause viaNGO networks across the country. Should the Israeli police take the baitand haul Hammerman over the coalsfor her actions, she will becomeanother martyr in the vein of EzraNawi, whose heavy-handed treatmentby the courts galvanised activists onthe Israeli left who were horrified atthe political bias displayed by thedomestic authorities. ProsecutingHammerman for her tame andharmless v iola t ions wi l l onlyreinforce such a view, and will donothing to protect the security ofIsraeli citizens in the process. The likes of Hammerman and Nawiare vital in the fight to foster contactand communication between ordinarycivilians on either side of the Israel-Palestine divide, and their workprevents even more hatred andmistrust being fostered towardsIsrael is than current ly exis ts .However, portraying them as traitorsand self-haters is the preferred tacticof the Israeli right, who believe thatdivisive, discriminatory policies arethe one and only way to safeguardJewish rights in Israel. That their tactics have failed foryears is of scant importance to thoseat the helm of the Israeli government.Fomenting tension and discord hasleft Israelis in constant danger fordecades, but to Netanyahu and hismerry men, robbing Palestinians oftheir rights to give succor to ultra-nationalist Israelis can never bebettered as a modus operandi. Flies inthe ointment like Hammerman are aminor inconvenience, but no matchfor the clout and conviction of thehardline elements backing Israeliirredentism at home and abroad. Whatever happens to Hammerman,there needs to be a serious re-evaluation of Palestinian rights inboth the West Bank and Gaza, asmuch for Israelis’ wellbeing as that ofthe i r Pa l e s t in i an ne ighbours .

Highlighting the unfairness of threegirls’ caged existences is a vital wayto raise Israeli awareness, but unlessit sparks a nationwide debate it willfail to come close to achieving itsgoals. The tragedy of the Israel-Palestineimbroglio is that so few Israelisrealise how counterproductive theirgovernment’s policies are, but withactivists like Hammerman refusing tostay silent, there is still hope that theblinkers will fall from the public’seyes before it is too late.• Comments on this article willremain open for 24 hours from thetime of publication but may be closedovernight• Israel• Palestinian territories• Gaza• Human rights• Civil liberties – international• Middle East

Dagan Dumped, Mossad Fixer Captured inPoland, Did Israelis Mean to Capture–RatherThan Kill–Al-Mabouh?by Richard Silverstein (Hija delZion para Israel - Daughter ofZion for Israel)

Submitted at 6/28/2010 12:46:08 AM

Bibi dumps Dagan, top internationalspook (Nir Keidar) Newsweek has a fascinating articleabout the ongoing developments int h e c a s e o f t h e A l - M a b o u hassassination.  Poland recentlyarrested an accused Mossad fixerwhen he attempted to enter thecountry.  His arrest was requested byGermany because of the agent’sparticipation in a scheme to secure apassport for one of the Mossad agentswho murdered Al-Mabouh. Israel has protested the arrest andasked Poland to return him to Israeland German to quash its extraditionrequest .   I t wi l l be a tes t ofinternational resolve to see whetherGermany and Poland have thecourage of their convictions and goforward with this process.  If theywish to honor the concept ofa c c o u n t a b i l i t y a n d n a t i o n a lsovereignty which was violated bythe Israeli “hit,” then they must notacceded to Israeli pressure.  We’ll seeif they do. Frankly, I’m a bit surprised that theM o s s a d w o u l d a l l o w a g e n t simplicated in the Dubai assassinationto return to their normal huntinggrounds.  Wouldn’t you think they’dkeep those individuals under wrapsfor a time until the dust settled?  Tome, this is yet another mark of theIsrael i intel l igence apparatus’disconnect from reality–at leastreality outside Israel. The world doesn’t appreciate whatthe Mossad did in Dubai.  Englandexpelled the agency’s station chief. Ireland and Australia did as well.  YetIsrael somehow thinks it got a winkand a nod and that the whole thing

will blow over.  I don’t think that’sthe case. I wonder whether the arrest of theagent in Poland may have somethingto do with Bibi Netanyahu’s decision,announced yesterday, that MeirDagan, the Mossad’s director, willnot be reappointed to his job.  I wasamused by the fact that one of thecandidates being bruited about isnone other than Yuval Diskin, thecurrent Shin Bet director.  It appearsthat beating up Israeli Palestiniancitizens and criminalizing the legalpolitical activity of Israeli Palestinianleaders stands one in good stead tobecome Israel’s top internationalspook. The passage from this article thatreally pricked my ears was this: Of f i c i a l and unof f i c i a l spyaficionados are still puzzled over whyIsrael would ruin its previouslyfriendly relationship with authoritiesin a key Gulf emirate, and blow theidentities of so many undercoveroperatives, just to eliminate anobscure Hamas operative. One theorygaining support among intelligenceexperts is that Mossad’s intent was todrug and kidnap Mabhouh, and thentry to use him in a trade for Gilad

Shalit, an Israeli soldier held hostagein Gaza by Hamas. But the Israelis,according to this theory, may haveoverdosed their target on knockoutdrops. While a theory gaining supportamong anonymous intelligencee x p e r t s d o e s n ’ t c a r r y m u c hjournalistic weight, it is a suggestiveone.  It does seem especially stupidfor Israel to expose half its covert opspersonnel and render them unusablein future in their former capacity. Not to mention the internationalopprobrium that has attached to Israelfor the murder, the loss of all thosestations chiefs, and harm done to itsrelations with all the countries whosepassports and citizens were abused. Not to mention the exposure of howthe agency handles financing of itsinternational ops. While Israel has a long and honoredtradition of knocking off Hamasoperatives, it also has a long traditionof kidnapping Palestinians andLebanese to use as poker chips innegotiations for the release of Israeliprisoners.  So it’s hard to say whichmotivation was more likely at play inDubai.

"Masked men" again set UNRWA camp on fireby Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zionpara Israel - Daughter of Zionfor Israel)

Submitted at 6/28/2010 3:09:00 AM

From Ma’an: A second UNRWA summer campfacility was burned Monday morning,with camp officials saying some 25masked men entered the An-Nusseriatcamp and assaulted the guards. A statement from UNRWA said thesummer camp’s gua rds were“ p h y s i c a l l y a s s a u l t e d a n dhandcuf fed ,” bu t no t in ju red Eyewitnesses accounts confirmed theUNRWA report, with locals saying

vandals broke into the camp and tiedup security guards, then setting fire toequipment inside the facility. “Itlooks like serious damage,” oneresident said. The UNRWA statement did notcomment on the extent of thedamages caused by the fire, but theagency’s Director of Operations inGaza, John Ging noted that “theoverwhelming success of UNRWA’sSummer Games has once againobviously frustrated those that areintolerant of children’s happiness.” Hamas considers UNRWA summercamps to be way too liberal, as theydo not explicitly incite campers to

hate nor are they paramilitary trainingfor a future terrorist career. That’swhy they set up their own alternativecamps based on the Quran andparamilitary training. UNRWA is never going to accuseHamas of being behind these acts ofarson, though.

Hamas: "Four years on, we still have Gilad"by Suzanne (Hija del Zion paraIsrael - Daughter of Zion forIsrael)

Submitted at 6/28/2010 3:33:00 AM

Hamas “celebrates” the caputre ofGilad Shalit with a new animation: A commenter below this videocorrectly says:“goody….supporting awar? cr ime”. He received thefollowing reply by the one whopublished the animation:“As a non-state actor, Hamas is notobligated under international law toa l l ow r ep re sen t a t i ve s o f t heInternational Committee of the RedCross (ICRC) to visit captured Israelisoldier Gilad Shalit, a senior ICRCofficial was quoted as saying onFriday.” “Pierre Dorbes, the deputyhead of the ICRC’s mission in Israeland the occupied? territories madethis remark in the course of a lengthyinterview with Haaretz reporterAmira Hass.”" I do not know where he got thisquote from, but I found the originalarticle in Haaretz: Pierre Dorbes:“ W e r e m i n d H a m a s o f i t shumanitarian obligation to dignifiedconditions. In order to evaluate this,

we suggested a number of times thatwe visit Shalit. We also suggestedthat he be allowed to communicatewith his family via letters. Theyrefused. Hamas is a non-state party tothe conflict. As such, it is notobligated to allow family visits orvisits by the Red Cross, but it isobligated to make family t iespossible.” If Pierre Dorbes is right, then neitherIsrael has to treat non-Israeli Arabprisoners as POWs. But is PierreDorbes correct when stating thatShalit cannot be entitled to the statusof POW? BtSelem states:“Regardless of the question of thelegality of the seizure or status of theperson who is seized, internationalhumanitarian law states that everyperson is entitled to be treatedhumanely and in a dignified mannerby the opposing side, whatever thecircumstances. Prisoners of war areentitled to a variety of other rights,among them to right to receive visitsby the ICRC. Given that Shalit isentitled to the status of POW, denialof his right to these visits alsoconstitutes a flagrant breach ofinternational law. Moreover, the

refusal to allow visits and cuttingShalit off totally from the outsideworld raise the grave suspicion thathe is being treated improperly, inparticular regarding the medicaltreatment he has, or has not, receivedfor his injury. For these reasons, the Hamasleadership, as the persons holdingactual control of the securi tyapparatuses in the Gaza Strip, has theduty to act order to bring aboutShal i t ’s uncondi t ional re leaseimmediately. Until his release, thepersons holding him must treat himhumanely and enable representativesof the ICRC to visit him.” Although it is still unclear to me onwhich grounds Gilad Shalit is entitledto a POW-status (as Hamas is a non-state party), for sure the way he isbeing treated now is a war crime:“seizing a person (civi l ian orcombatant) and holding him forciblywith the objective of pressuring theother side to meet certain demands isabso lu te ly prohib i ted , and i sconsidered hostage taking. This act ismuch more grievous when it isaccompanied by a threat to kill orinjure the hostage if the hostage-takers’ demands are not met .

F u r t h e r m o r e , b r e a c h o f t h eprohibition is deemed a war crime,for which everyone involved in theact bears criminal responsibility. Thecircumstances in which Shalit wasabducted and has been held clearlyindicate that he was taken hostage.” Hija del Zion para Israel SupportIsrael• Sweden to boycott Israeli cargoesSweden to boycott Israeli cargoesA Swedish union says that it willprotest Israel's handling of the flotillaof fools by refusing to unload Isr...• Israel’s Most Illicit Affair A newbook reveals that Israel's secretrelationship with apartheid SouthAf r i ca wen t f a r deepe r thanpreviously understood.

Hamas advertises for its summer camp byvandalizing competing UN campby Robert (Hija del Zion paraIsrael - Daughter of Zion forIsrael)

Submitted at 6/28/2010 6:00:39 AM

Hamas advertises for its summercamp by vandalizing competing UNcamp They did it last month, too.Details of the earlier attack here. “UNsummer camp in Gaza vandalized,”by Ibrahim Barzak for AP, June 28: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Twodozen masked men vandalized a U.N.summer camp for children in Gazaearly Monday, burning and slashingtents, toys and a plastic swimmingpool. It was the second such attack injust over a month. There was no immediate claim ofresponsibility for the attack, butIslamic extremists have accused themain U.N. aid agency here ofcorrupting Gaza’s youth with itssummer program of games, sportsand human rights lessons for 250,000children. The U.N.’s main competitor inrunning summer camps is the rulingIslamic militant Hamas movement,

which says it reaches some 100,000children. The Hamas camps teachIslam and military-style marching,along with swimming and horsebackriding.“The Hamas camps teach Islam”?Did AP just say that? Did they forgetthat we’re supposed to believe thatHamas teaches a twisted, hijackedversion of the Religion of Peace™,which is absolutely benign in all itsWestern manifestations? In a statement on Monday’s attack,the U.N. said about two dozen armedand masked men targeted a seasidecamp in central Gaza, one of dozensof U.N. sites across the Palestinianterritory. The assailants tied up an unarmedguard, then tried to set fire to twotents and a perimeter fence madefrom tarp-like material. Wieldingknives, they slashed a plast icswimming pool, blow-up slide andtoys. Of course, the UN blames Israel: John Ging, the local U.N. chief,called it a “cowardly and despicable”attack and said the site would be

rebuilt quickly. Hamas police condemned the attackand said it was investigating. Ging said the attack was the latestsign of growing levels of extremismin Gaza. He said it provides furtherevidence “of the urgency to changethe circumstances on the ground thatare generating such extremism.”… U.N. camps have been targeted bysuspected Islamic extremists sincetheir launch in 2007…. In recent months, Hamas has becomeincreasingly assertive in trying toimpose its strict version of Islam oneveryday life in Gaza. However, the Islamists have alsoavoided open confrontation with theU.N. Relief and Works Agency,which provides services for two-thirds of Gaza’s 1.5 million people. The U.N. avoids contact withHamas, which is internationallyshunned as a terror group. At least for now. Posted by Robert on June 28, 20106:00 AM| 1 Comment Print this entry

Flights will be made with 136-seat Boeing 737s that will departfrom Ben Gurion Airport’s Terminal1. El Al CEO Eliezer Shkedi said,“This is a breakthrough and goodnews for tourists entering and leavingIsrael. El Al’s scheduled flight,inaugurated today for the first time,will boost the number of number oftourists, improve service, and bringthe periphery closer to the center ofthe country to everyone’s benefit.

Sarah Palin on Sunday painted USP r e s i d e n t B a r a c k O b a m a ’ sadministration as a cowering giantintent on surrendering the nation’smantle as a superpower and willing tosell out its allies. The former John McCain runningmate addressed a paying audience ofseveral hundred people in Norfolkand accused Obama of selling outIsrael in over its naval blockade ofGaza and treating Prime MinisterBinaymin Netanyahu shabbily.…“Do they think, really, that we’regetting anything in return for all thisb o w i n g a n d k o w t o w i n g a n dapologizing? No, we don’t getanything positive in return for this,”Palin said at the event spearheaded bya Norfolk talk radio station.“So while President Obama is gettingpushed around by the likes of Russiaand China, our allies are left towonder about the value of an alliancewith our country any more. They’reasking what is it worth,” she said.

Palin, former Virginia Sen. GeorgeAllen and Iran-Contra figure OliverNorth, who ran for a Virginia Senateseat and lost , each took turnsdecrying what they said was thedeterioration of US military mightand will under Obama’s watch.

Over the weekend, Gazans weredismayed about the shutdown of theGaza power plant. Hamas and Fatahpointed fingers at each other aboutthis, and so far the plant is still not online. Israel is willing to send the fuelneeded but no one is paying for it. So, Gazans protested the shutdownon Friday night. From Getty Images:Palestinian girls hold candles during amarch in protest against the lack offuel to Gaza’s power station, and thecontinued power outages in the city,on June 25, 2010 in Gaza City. Reuters has pictures of the very samegirls at the very same protest – but itrepresents the protest in far differentterms: Palestinian children holdcandles during a protest in Gaza City

calling for an end to Israel’s blockadeon the Gaza Strip June 25, 2010. Of course, Reuters cannot fathomthat any Palestinian Arab protestwould be against anyone besidesIsrael. Besides, Reuters has spentyears making Israel look as evil aspossible while minimizing Hamas

and Fatah crimes against their ownpeople; why dilute the narrative withfacts? Hija del Zion para Israel SupportIsrael• Waiting for Summer (1990)Today's Golden Oldie is a Dry Bonescartoon done 20 years ago, in

Yesterday, Hamas police forciblytook money from the Islamic Bank inGaza City, claiming that they wereenforcing a court order. All Gaza banks are closed today inprotest. Meanwhile, Hamas had arrested Dr.Juma Al Sakka, director of publicrelations at the Ministry of Health inGaza, five days ago without charge.Dr. al-Sakka’s wife and childrenprotested, with his wife – a lawyernamed Hanan – going on a hungers t r i k e i n f r o n t o f H a m a s ’h e a d q u a r t e r s . So Hamas beat her and arrestedHanan and the rest of the family. Good luck finding any outrageamong the Western intelligentsiaabout these stories, the types of whichhappen pretty much every day.
