09.16.2019 Israeli high court of justice upholds Israel’s policy of withholding the bodies of Palestinians killed. Al-Haq.

So—in 2018 the Knesset passed a law that Israel can withhold victim’s bodies in order to coerce families, and to prevent autopsies [which have refuted the Israeli narrative of how the person was killed on multiple occasions].

09.16.2019 Another German court rules in favor supporters of BDS Movement European Legal Support Center-Press Release. The city of Bonn was refusing to admit the German-Palestinian Women’s Association from the annual Bonn Culture and Encounter Festival because the group supports BDS.
Bonn City Council adopted a pro-Zionist motion named, “No place for the anti-Semitic BDS movement in Bonn.” That called for “all municipal institutions in Bonn to deny facilities to BDS groups and to refrain from supporting events of the BDS campaign, or of groups pursuing BDS goals.”
The court ruled that Bonn City Council’s motion was a resolution not a legislative act, the same as the German Bundestag’s May 19, 2019 resolution along similar lines and, as such, “can not justify, form any legal perspective, the restriction of an existing legal right.”
Further, the court ruled that the women being banned from the festival constituted “unequal treatment: that violated several German laws and was “not even remotely justified.”
Berlin attorney Ahmed Abed filed and urgent complaint to the court on behalf of the women. The case was aided by the European Legal Support Center (ELSC) and the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL).
The German-Palestinian Society and the Palestinian Community of Bonn were also barred from the festival this year though all three associations had participated in the past. The festival is put on to showcase Bonn’s cultural diversity with music, dance, food. etc.

09.19.2019 If Egypt won’t buy Israel’s gas, maybe consumers will Haaretz. by Ora Cohen. Israel is extracting gas from huge gas field off Gaza and Israel. The Israelis planned to sell a lot of it to Egypt, which is having second thoughts.
And so, Israel is putting tens of millions into a national natural gas pipeline to shunt gas around to Israeli cities. The program targets new, large housing projects but the article points out that Israelis raising new buildings would rather use new, sustainable technology like solar power. Compared to gas, photovoltaic cells run with lower costs and don’t do the environmental damage that petroleum does. In addition, Israelis don’t want to be forced to buy new appliances required by gas power.
