January, 2019 Week 4
Tuesday
01.22.2019 12 Iranian soldiers killed in Israeli strike on Syria, watch dog says Haaretz Israel bombed Syria AGAIN last night. Report says they killed 21 people. Source for that number is something called the, ‘Syrian Observatory for Human Rights’ which is one guy, who is an anti-Assad Syrian immigrant operating out of his house in London, England. So, his reports, maybe, maybe not.
01.22.2019 Erekat: ‘PA informed U.S. to stop sending security aid.’ Maan News PLO Executive Secretary. He noted that the U.S. cut $844 million in aid—pretty much everything except security funding that Israel relies on. Cuts include $359 million to UNRWA, $231 million to USAID, $90 million to East Jerusalem hospitals, and $175 million to Palestinian civil society projects like roads, sewers, and schools. The Palestinian Authority has long been accused of collaborating with Israel to stop resistance against the Jewish state. The reason the Palestinians don’t want the security money is that last year Congress passed, and Trump signed the ‘Anti Terrorism Clarification Act of 2018.’ This Act paves the way for Americans to sue any government that accepts U.S. security aid for millions if a member of their family is injured or killed [for example, an American moves to Israel, goes in the Army, gets hurt or killed, the family can sue]. There are multiple stories about this in the U.S. media blaming Trump for endangering Israel.
01.22.2019 ‘I make the glass half full’ US-Israeli family clings to hope for soldier son severely wounded in West Bank attack Haaretz Sad story about Jewish family that moved to Israel ten years ago.

Israeli occupation troops in combat gear attacked prisoners with rubber coated steel bullets, tear gas, military attack dogs, and sound bombs. This included the children’s wing. Israelis raided Ofer, Nafha, and Gilboa prisons. Perhaps as part of pre-election grandstanding, the Jewish state is goading the Palestinian public by beating prisoners, cutting back on autonomy, cutting water rations, and blocking Palestinian prisoner welfare funds from the Palestinian Authority.
01.22.2019 Israel delivers demolition notices to Palestinian homes in Issawiya Maan News Occupied East Jerusalem. Occupation troops measure more Palestinian homes, residential buildings and commercial buildings for demolition because they don’t have the building permits which Israel doesn’t issue Palestinians. There are different processes for Jews and Arabs. Jewish colonists are fast tracked for permits through the Israeli government. Arabs have to spend years and, thousands (perhaps tens of thousands) of dollars and most often are denied anyway.

Israel said it would allow fuel the Qataris are paying for into Gaza which would mean electrical power for the people. “The transfer of funds has been causing embarrassment to the Israeli government with the approach of the upcoming April 9, Knesset election…” But the transfer of the funds and the media coverage that it gets are politically difficult for Netanyahu…

Thursday
01.24.2019 The sadists who destroyed a decades old Palestinian olive grove can rest easy Haaretz by Gideon Levy. Usually when Jewish colonists destroy Palestinian olive groves it gets a paragraph in the Palestinian press. No one is arrested. No one goes to jail. No one outside hears about it. In this article the incomparable Gideon Levy, Israel’s conscience, evokes a farmer’s pain and an author’s anger. Let’s read the first few lines: “Who are the human scum who last Friday drove all-terrain vehicles down to the magnificent olive grove owned by Abed al Hai Nasson, in the West Bank village of Al-Mughayir, chose the oldest and biggest row, and with electric saws felled 25 trees, one after another? Who are the human scum who are capable of fomenting such an outrage on the soil, the earth, the trees, and of course the farmer, who’s been working his land for decades? Who are the human scum who fled like cowards, knowing that no one would bring them to justice for the evil they had wrought?”
There’s a photo of the demolished trunks showing where attackers painted a blood red star of David on large stone. Their ATV tracks led back to an illegal Jewish outpost. This took place 3 days before Jewish Arbor Day.
Levy relates that the farmer is a 62-year-old man struggling with cancer. He said the trees had grown up with his children. He notes Israel took 7,500 acres from the village back in the 1970’s. Villagers live under constant threat of colonist hate crimes, not only cutting down trees but burning their fields, grazing sheep on village lands, and vandalism. About 2 months ago the villagers began protesting attacks against them in Friday demonstrations, as other villages around the West Bank do. Israel’s response is to shoot villagers with rubber coated steel bullets, tear gas, and live ammunition. And arrest them. Thirty-five people from the village are now in Israeli prisons.

01.24.2019 Irish Parliament passes bill to ban Israeli settlement goods Electronic Intifada by Ali Albunimah. Once again the Irish are standing up for Palestinians. Last July the Irish Senate voted 25 to 20 to support the ban, causing heartburn in Israel and Israel to send one of its favorite congress supporters, Peter King (R-NY) to Ireland to lobby against the bill. There are also economic threats against the Emerald Isle. Undeterred, the Irish Dail today voted 78-45 in favor of the ban. Bill has another committee to get through before becoming law.
01.24.2019 Germany still has Holocaust problem Haaretz daily dose of Nazi. by Jacob Elder.
01.24.2019 Letter to Professor Dame Janet Beer on the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism British Society for Middle Eastern Studies. In which Stuart Laing, President of BRISMES, points out to the Dame that examples of anti-Semitism in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definitions include legitimate criticism. The Israel Lobby is using IHRA definitions to shut down debate on Israeli crimes against Palestinians. [Actually, there are 11 examples that are part of the IHRA definition and 7 of them are about criticism of Israel.] Laing writes, “The University and College Union (UCU), noting that the IHRA definition has been used to ‘intimidate academics who are engaged in activities that are critical of the policies of the Israeli government but that are not anti-Semitic,’ voted to disassociate itself from the IHRA definition at its congress in 2017.” Laing also notes that a QC (Queen’s Counselor (lawyer)), found IHRC working definition “confusing and unclear and should be used with caution.”

Article notes that the rentals are segregated, that Palestinians aren’t allowed to rent them. But DeSantos claims that it’s Israeli colonists who are being discriminated against.

[If you think how many Palestinian kids Israel has made eligible to be in para Olympics—shot in the spine, shot in the head, legs, arms, fractured skulls, amputations, blinded by rubber coated steel bullets, lung damage from tear gas, internal organ damage, Gaza could field the world’s largest per-capita para Olympic kid’s team—if Israel would let them travel.
