Wadi el Maleh: History and life of ancient community endangeredWadi el Maleh, in the northern Jordan Valley, is an ancient resort used for centuries by visitors and the local population for its hot mineral springs. What has been a bustling tourist facility, until the occupation of the Valley in 1967, is today a site where Palestinians struggle to exist. With Zionist colonies expanding throughout the Valley, the community of Wadi el Maleh is under serious threat of expulsion. [MORE] http://www.stopthewall.org/

The great catastrophe Monday marks the 58th anniversary of the founding of Israel in 1948 - and the expulsion of Palestinians from their land. With millions still living under occupation or in exile, what Palestinians call their 'nakba' remains at the heart of their national identity, argues Karma Nabulsi
"Palestinians are reclaiming their past - of the nakba and dispossession - and at the same time preparing the next phase of their fight for justice. By some miracle of the general will, every Palestinian has somehow, through different journeys, arrived together at the same place," writes Karma Nabulsi http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1773020,00.html ******************************************************************************

MAY 2006 | FINAL STATEMENT OF THE FOURTH PALESTINIANS IN EUROPE CONFERENCE |
(please go to link for full text & much additional information - beautifully written inspiring text )
FIRST: the conference insisted that the Palestinian people wherever they are constituted a unified body that would resist every attempt to fragment and divide them......
SECOND: the Malmo conference reaffirmed the decisions taken in London, Berlin and Vienna concerning adherence to the right of return. They warned of the dire consequences of attempts to undermine or jeopardise this right. They demanded the urgent implementation of this right in a manner that would enable the Palestinians to return to the homes from which they were forcibly expelled.....
THIRD: the conference appreciated with pride the steadfastness and great sacrifices made by the Palestinian people including their martyrs, wounded and prisoners in defence of their dignity, country, homes and sacred sites for the better part of the last century.....
FOURTH: the Palestinians in Europe conference congratulate the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories for the successful manner in which they conducted the recent democratic elections which were carried out in an open and free manner.....
FIFTH: the conference salutes the heroic Palestinians in the lands occupied in 1948 and expresses its pride in their stubborn endurance in their land and noble defence of the sacred Islamic and Christian sites. The conference expressed its absolute solidarity with them in the light of the current occupation which targets their identity and imposes on them racist and discriminatory laws.
SIXTH: the conferees expressed their gravest concern with the growing threats against the noble city of Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine. They are part of an ongoing programme of judaization and attempt to change the Arab character of the city.....
SEVENTH: the conference drew attention to the continued annexation of land and racist designs intended by the construction of the wall which has been condemned internationally through the advisory ruling of the International Court of Justice and the UN General Assembly. The wall confines the Palestinian people to isolated enclaves, expropriates their land and leaves them in a huge prison......
EIGHTH: the conference reaffirmed the right of the Palestinian people to resist foreign occupation of their land, their homes and holy sites and to repel the constant aggression meted out against them......

Negotiating on Behalf of Palestinians?
We are now witnessing one of the more bizarre chapters in the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. A final peace agreement - negotiated between Tel Aviv and Washington - is already in the process of being implemented. As a side show, the Palestinians are being told to shape up or starve in exchange for an invitation to negotiations that were concluded way back in October 2004. It's all a little like getting an invitation to attend your own funeral - a year after the burial.

Six decades ago, my family lived in Jerusalem, a multicultural city that was home to Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Then, in 1948, Palestinian society was destroyed. More than 700,000 Palestinians -- many, like us, Christians, but even more Muslims -- fled or were forced into exile by Israeli troops. The Palestinians' only fault was that they were not Jewish, and, by their presence and predominant ownership of the land, were obstacles to the creation of a Jewish state. Their exodus -- called the Nakba or "catastrophe" by Palestinians -- was already nearly half- complete by May 1948.....

On the economic front, the gross national product decreased to dangerous levels, threatening the agricultural, industrial, commerce, transportation and tourism sectors."
"- The forced migration and ethnic-cleansing of Palestinian civilians from their homes and property in 1948, referred to as the Nakba of Palestine, led to the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to neighboring countries and various countries around the globe. The State of Israel was established on Palestinian towns and villages that had been cleansed of their original inhabitants. Palestinian civilians were scattered and Palestinian refugees came to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which were not occupied at the time, as well as to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Most of these refugees continue to live in refugee camps, including 8 camps in the Gaza Strip. These refugees lost their property, land, homes and livelihoods and were therefore subjected to a state of poverty, deprivation and exposure."Poverty in the Gaza Strip http://www.pchrgaza.org/files/Reports/English/provtry.htm***********************************************************************************

“It is a timely and an important issue because it is the most important single issue in the Middle East for the long-term security agenda of the United States.” But, he continued, the Arab Americans have “failed to communicate” this point, since all other Middle Eastern issues are linked to the Palestinian problem. Arab Americans, he went on, need to develop “the self-discipline and the smarts to talk about it in that context, that is, why it is in the US interest and thereby the obligation of the congressman or the administration official to address it”.

Rachel Corrie's Legacy
As the world now knows, their 23-year-old daughter, an Evergreen State College student, died while defending a Palestinian home from demolition by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). A bulldozer killed her. It took over my life, says 58-year-old Cindy, a onetime flautist who, like her husband, wears a green plastic bracelet with the dates of Rachels birth and death. Living in Olympia, Cindy and Craig, a 59-year-old former insurance executive, now work full time seeking accountability, not only for Rachels death, but for what they believe are the unjust policies that caused it.

Uprooting and Land Devastation – Renewed Attacks in Ramin
Occupation Forces destroyed over 50 trees belonging to villagers in Ramin on the evening of Monday May the 8th, as devastation of Palestinian land in the region continued.

The road now usurped by settlers for their own exclusive use has been a frequent scene of settler attacks on Palestinian farmers and their families in recent months.

The Other Side of the Story By Joharah Baker for MIFTAH
"...In addition to the refugee problem, Israel has little to be proud of when it comes to its neighbors, the Palestinians. Crammed into demeaning cantons, each city severed from the next, fighting off poverty, unemployment and international condemnation for resisting 39 years of Israeli military occupation, the Palestinians are clear proof that Israel is a country based on racism and double standards. As it oppresses, occupies and aims to annihilate the national cause of an entire people, it portrays itself to the world as a democracy and a peace-loving nation under fire." http://www.miftah.org/Display.cfm?DocId=10148&CategoryId=5**********************************************************************************

Pointing at Motaz, the soldiers asked if the boy was Samer's son and said he'd been throwing stones at the jeep. As Samer started to protest, pointing out that his son was only five years old, other soldiers appeared from an olive grove beside the house. As they walked up to Samer and Motaz, one soldier told the others standing there “That boy was throwing stones”.
..... The soldiers then dragged Motaz from his father, shouting at the boy who started screaming and begging his father to help him. Samer tried to hold onto and protect Motaz, but his efforts only angered the soldiers further. They turned and beat Samer, separating him from Motaz whom they slapped and yelled at. The soldiers bound Samer's hands and blindfolded him before pushing him into the jeep, shoving Motaz in after him.

April 30, 2006Let us wake up the moral forces in Palestinehttp://www.amin.org/eng/uncat/2006/april/april30-1.html By: Dr. Salim Nazzal*
We need to pay more attention to the spiritual position of Palestine in order to wake up the moral strength in the Palestinian society. We have no oil in Palestine, nor have we natural sources like other countries.
What we have is not only unique; it is the unique of the uniqueness. It is the particularity of a country which carries a great spiritual heritage. It is time to formulate a Palestinian project that can reach humanity.
Here exactly the strength of Palestine and the weakness of the Zionist project. The Zionist project is based on a narrow minded and racist ideology, the Palestinian project is a project opened to humanity. In this Palestine is not only a small piece of land, but, rather, a message of love and tolerance to all.
We need to remember that the area of states is not always the criteria for its importance. The Vatican influence is more important than many big countries. Of course there are differences between the Vatican and Palestine. Yet the real challenge remains how we can translate the uniqueness of our country into a great spiritual power.
We need to promote the culture of tolerance, human rights, equality and justice in Palestine.
Palestine can play a great role in the question of coexistence among cultures and nations, no body else is more qualified than Palestine to play this role.
By working to develop the human resources in Palestine we are in the right direction in defeating Zionism.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR History Doubletalk
....... Best bet to get anything published in an English language periodical meant for Western eyes is to in some way or another re-affirm Israel's "right to exist" in some form or another ... guaranteeing a continued Aliyah whereby privileged Englishmen and Americans are free to speak as compassionate Israelis in multiple forums and political Zionism continues to be the charity of choice.
The Palestinian refugees ARE... and they have every right to return. And with racist Israel shaped and sustained by political Zionism still easily ignoring and/or demonizing Palestinians, easily wrecking Palestinian homes, easily creating and torturing political prisoners, easily pulling apart Palestinian families and communities, easily arresting and/or wounding and/or killing Palestinian children, easily usurping Palestinian land, easily making more refugees - and bombing Palestinian refugee camps - I think all the world has the right to stop, look, and listen and seriously question why we have to accept the idea of Israel.

Virtual strangers to the city and its people have full rights to visit here and frolic among the aromatic smells of spices and sweets that make Jerusalem so distinct, while the city is cruelly prohibited to most Palestinians, those people who hold it dearest to their hearts.

My Land documents the threat that husband and wife Ali and Trees face from the Zionist occupation authority to destroy the home the family built on their own land in the town of Sakhnin (Galilee region, north Palestine). About 1.3 million Palestinians who were issued 'Israeli citizenship' are still struggling 57 years after the imposition of the Zionist state for their rights to their own property and land. The film shows one of those many struggles.
