WHY ISRAEL IMPRISONED MY BEST FRIEND
By Mohammed Khatib, The Electronic Intifada, 2 September 2010

And just as Israel has gradually increased restrictions of
where we can go, the boundaries of what is permissible to
do as a Palestinian have narrowed markedly. We have
reached a point where peaceful protest is unacceptable to
the Israeli state and military legislation has been
constructed to criminalize and throw in jail anyone who
dares to publicly voice dissent. Mohammed Khatib comments.

WHAT THE WALL HAS DONE
By Jamal Juma', The Electronic Intifada, 31 August 2010

Israel began constructing the wall in June 2002 following
its invasion of cities in the West Bank, which it dubbed
"Operation Defensive Shield." The immense scale of the
2002 invasion -- characterized by the destruction of
Palestinian civilian infrastructure, mass arrests,
assassinations and massacres -- ensured that the
construction of the wall would commence with as little
resistance as possible. Jamal Juma' comments.

LIFTA'S LEGACY UNDER THREAT
By Antoine Raffoul, The Electronic Intifada, 1 September 2010

There are few villages in historic Palestine which invoke
the memories of the Nakba (the 1948 dispossession of the
Palestinian people) as does Lifta. However, Lifta's
architectural legacy is under threat as Israel moves to
Judaize the formerly pluralistic Palestinian village.

"BUREAUCRATIC WEAPONS WORSE THAN BOMBS"
By Bridget Chappell, The Electronic Intifada, 1 September 2010

Firas al-Maraghi from the Palestinian neighborhood of
Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem has been on hunger
strike outside the Israeli embassy in Berlin since 26
July. Al-Maraghi is striking in protest of the Israeli
Ministry of Interior's refusal to include his German-born
daughter and wife on his Jerusalem residency permit.
Bridget Chappell interviews al-Maraghi for The Electronic
Intifada.

BEDOUIN'S LEGAL FIGHT THREATENS JEWISH STATE
By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 1 September 2010

Nuri al-Uqbi's small cinderblock home in a ramshackle
neighborhood of Hura, a Bedouin town in Israel's Negev
desert, hardly looks like the epicenter of a legal
struggle that some observers say threatens Israel's Jewish
character.
