Mohammed Khatib
Published today 28/01/2010 14:52 Bethlehem - Ma'an - In what organizers are calling "the highest profile arrest of the recent wave of repression against West Bank popular struggle," Israeli forces detained Popular Committee member Mohammed Khatib from the village of Bil'in before sunrise Thursday.
According to fellow members of the Popular Committee, Israeli forces entered the village at 2am, and stormed Khatib's home, waking Mohammad, his wife and four young children. The home was quickly searched and troops retreated from the area shortly after the arrest.
Several witnesses and international solidarity workers reported seeing five military jeeps return to the home approximately 30 minutes after the detention. According to a statement, "six soldiers forced their way into the house again, where Khatib's children sat in terror, and conducted another, very thorough search of the premises, without showing a search warrant. During the search, Khatib's phone and many documents were seized, including papers from Bil'in's legal procedures in the Israel High Court."
Witnesses said soldiers left a note "saying that documents suspected as 'incitement materials' were seized," the statement said.
Khatib was detained on 3 August, and charged with incitement and stone throwing. He was released two weeks after the detention, when a judge in the Israeli military court found evidence against him was falsified. Lawyers proved Khatib was out of the country at the time the army alleged he was photographed throwing stones during a demonstration.

Peace campaigner Mohammad Othman has been held without charge for two months. The Military court has now said he will be detained for a further 3 months for more interrogation - do they mean to torture him & try to break his spirit?
PLEASE MAKE YOUR PROTEST
good news, thanks to your pressure he is free, but HOW DARE they do this terrible thing to this lovely guy.
ISRAEL: is the only "Western Country" to jail children as young as 12 or 13 for 3 months and up to 2 years or more for throwing stones or confessing to throwing stones whilst under totrure?

A grave decision, but in the absence of any real action from our "leaders" it appears to be the only answer.
A list of courageous Israelis & other Jews including genuine religious Jews who dare to speak for Justice for the Palestinians, despite the popular culture of vilification, bullying & even false imprisonment:
gives voice to a Jewish and Zionist tradition of concern for Human Rights. RHR sounds the shofar of alarm on issues of human rights in Israel and in territories for which Israel has taken responsibility.
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel
Daily, people were wounded and killed. One of the association’s first activities was a visit to the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, and protest against the use of medical care as a means of controlling the local population. In addition, we protested against doctor participation in the torture of Palestinian detainees. The association's actions were based on the principles of medical ethics and on international conventions relevant to medical staff.
Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR)
strongly condemns Israel's aggressive military action in Gaza and supports recent statements by the United Nations and the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) that call for independent investigations into alleged violations of international humanitarian law. The UN's Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, has characterized the Israeli offensive as containing "...severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regards to the obligations of an occupying power and in the requirements of the laws of war."
Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights (LPHR)
was set up by UK-based practising lawyers and law students in London in 1988, during the first intifada in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Recent actions: Concerning a sixteen year-old boy - Wa'ad al-Hidmy - receiving a fifth administrative detention order despite no charges being brought against him.

CND campaigns non-violently to rid the world of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and to create genuine security for future generations.
CND opposes all nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction: their development, manufacture, testing, deployment and use or threatened use by any country.
Nuclear Free Local Authorities tackle in practical ways, and within their powers, the problems posed by civil and military nuclear hazards. As the local government voice on nuclear issues, the NFLA are keen to encourage local authorities to adopt anti-nuclear policies and join our network – particularly as the Government plan for nuclear power to be part of the mix of energy supply for the UK over the next 40 years, and are spending billions of pounds each year on replacement nuclear weaponry. See the nuclear issues section to see why this is relevant to every local authority in the UK and Ireland.

Increase local accountability over national nuclear policy;
Identify the impact of national nuclear policy on local communities;

The European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza (ECESG) values the right of all people to live in dignity and freedom and upholds the principle of self-determination in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The ECESG values the inalienable right of Palestinian people to be free from foreign occupation and live in their own independent and sovereign state.
Vision
The ECESG works towards a future in which the inviolable human rights of the Palestinian people are realized within the framework of international law and human rights conventions.
Mission
The ECESG is an umbrella body of non-governmental organizations across Europe that advocates the fundamental right of the Palestinian people in Gaza to live in peace and dignity without being subjected to any form of collective punishment such as the cutting of supplies of food, fuel and medicine or their denial of free access to travel outside Gaza Strip. The ECESG supports the restoration of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in Gaza and lobbies for pressure to be exerted on the Occupying Power to lift its siege and end the human tragedy there.
It urges the participation of politicians and non-politicians alike to honor their duty to stop the suffering of one and a half million people trapped in Gaza under the most inhumane conditions. Supported by international and humanitarian law, the ECESG encourages all peoples of conscience and human rights advocates to intensify their efforts to highlight this life-threatening issue and end the catastrophe.

WARNING: this herb illegally sold by Waitrose could make you sick - especially if you knew the cost of producing it is grief, loss, suffering and oppression of the indigenous non-Jewish population.
The labelling is also illegal, as it isn't made in Israel - it is grown in the illegally occupied West Bank on stolen Palestinian land.

To the Palestinian armed resistance: PLEASE renounce violence now and the whole world will gradually support you. We know you would suffer and some would still be murdered by Israeli government forces even for protesting peacefully, but you would win justice very soon if only you could do this. No armed resistance = no right to support Israel WHATSOEVER. VERY VERY difficult, but surely it will win MORE support?
CONGRATULATIONS to all the brave peace campaigners who volunteered out of the kindness of their hearts to bring what is in fact still (sickeningly one year on) EMERGENCY aid to Gaza. And also CONGRATULATIONS to the brave people who have been trying to make a peaceful Freedom March in Gaza. Please see our EVENTS page for info on upcoming talks and action events.

UK issues new guidance on labelling of food from illegal West Bank settlements
Stickers could read 'Israeli settlement produce' , but move is not a boycott, says Foreign OfficeFriday 11th December 2009 Ian Black, Middle East editor, and Rory McCarthy in Jerusalem
This is good news, but PLEASE email William Hague to ask why are we still issuing export licences for arms & arms components which will be sent to Israeli regime directly or indirectly via US military products. Why is our government still supporting Israel and taking bribes (probably best to use the more benign word "incentives"!) from Radical Pro-Zionists? Why have we done nothing of any consequence to OPEN GAZA - why are children still dying one whole year after the Gaza Massacre?

There is nothing ordinary about this advocacy campaign for a large UN institution.

It is with the deepest of regret, that after 42 years of impotent rhetoric from our politicians (even more impotent from Obama & Brown/Miliband than any "leaders" in history), along with millions of citizens around the world we are now as a desperate non violent last resort asking our humanitarian friends to boycott all Israeli goods. This is not meant as some childish punitive measure, but simply to get a message across, that our "leaders" have totally failed to do.

Settlement Freeze? What Settlement Freeze!
Hansard extract from Commons Debate in LONDON just 10 days before the Gaza Massacre: Plus ca change..
17 Dec 2008 : Column 93WH Palestinian Territories (Settlements) 11.1 am Martin Linton (Battersea) (Lab):
"Since the Annapolis agreement, in which the Government of Israel accepted an obligation to “freeze all settlement activity, including the ‘natural growth’ of existing settlements”, there has actually been an acceleration of house building in settlements in the west bank. Official figures released by the Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing identify current construction projects in nine settlements in the west bank. They range from one of 106 dwellings in Ariel, which is a big Israeli settlement deep in the northern west bank, to one of 144 units at Alfei Menashe, which is a settlement near the Palestinian town of Qalqilya. Some 642 units are currently being constructed in two different settlements in Bethlehem, and 944 units at Ma’ale Adumim, which I have just mentioned. The Foreign Secretary saw the work going on there. Nearly 2,000 units are being built at Har Homa, a hill in Arab East Jerusalem overlooking Bethlehem. That is a total of 4,554 units."
"Roadblocks on Palestinian roads are up by 12 per cent. since Annapolis, demolitions by 21 per cent., injuries to Palestinians in clashes with the Israeli army by some 26 per cent. and deaths by some 51 per cent. It is no surprise to me that the Palestinians feel angry, frustrated and above all cynical about peace initiatives, which should be the one beacon of hope to them. The United Nations human rights rapporteur said that the Palestinian population was “being collectively punished by policies that amount to a crime against humanity.” To prove that they were not engaged in collective punishment, the Israeli authorities then devised an individual punishment for the rapporteur last week by locking him up at Ben-Gurion airport and refusing him a visa."
"The sad truth that I come to is that the Israelis show no signs of actually wanting negotiations to succeed. One Israeli official quoted in The Guardian this morning said: “Negotiations are good, results are bad.” It is impossible to conduct negotiations with a party that does not have an interest in their success. All Israeli politicians pay lip service to the peace process, but the fact that Israel continues to expand the settlements makes it difficult to believe that they are entirely sincere. How can they expect Palestinians to negotiate when they are taking over more Palestinian land every day? It is not within human nature to enter into negotiations in such circumstances."

In her obsequious condoning of Illegal Israeli Settlements, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has disgraced herself & also the entire concept of a US lead solution which would include justice and liberty for the Palestinians. Should we now be asking ourselves: Does the US have or deserve any role to play whatsoever in securing this long denied justice & liberty for the Palestinians? They are hardly impartial mediators! Israel very kindly funds their politicians with some of the billions of US taxpayers dollars which are illegally given to Israel each year, to buy weapons (made in the USA of course) AND ironically fund the building of illegal settlements.

In the absence of any genuine political will to get Israel behind the 1967 Armistice line and to get Gaza Opened, the world is building the campaign of boycotting Israeli goods and services (fully supported by MANY Israelis who realise that Netanyahu's brutality is destroying Israel's reputation and friendships across the planet).
It is now up to the World's Political leaders to fully support the Palestinians demand for LIFE. Also to open a dialogue with Hamas who were fairly elected.
A Call to ALL Humanitarians: PLEASE - this might be the final chance for peace before the whole world turns against Israel. The injustice against the Palestinians has gone on for generations. We must contact our MPs, MEPs, Senators, Members of Congress, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers etc NOW to DEMAND they recognise and support the HAMAS led call for PEACE. Isreal must stop their attacks NOW and not break the ceasefire as they did a year ago. Netanyahu must freeze ALL settlement activity NOW, including the ILLEGAL ETHNIC CLEANSING OF EAST JERUSALEM.
PLEASE EMAIL OR FAX OR POST A STRONG BUT POLITE MESSAGE TO ALL THE POLITICIANS YOU CAN THINK OF NOW. Even people who for whatever reason don't love the Palestinians or Arabs or Muslims (God knows why?) SURELY you can see that the cause of world terror (most of it coming from the governments of USA, UK, EU, Nato & ISRAEL) is responses and counter responses to LONG TERM UNIMAGINABLE brutality, disposession, murders, false imprisonments and torture.
PLEASE email or telephone the British Foreign Secretary: click: David Miliband or tel: 020 7008 1500 and ask to be put through to his office.

On discovering the hidden truth, a very brave intelligent Jew has devoted her life to informing others:
"Like many Americans and many Jews, I grew up with a positive view of Israel as a peace-seeking democracy. Israel symbolized to me the one protection that Jews had against the type of persecution that had plagued families like mine throughout history. I saw the Jewish state as a tiny and victimized country that simply wanted to live in peace but couldn’t because of its aggressive, Jew-hating Arab neighbors.
In 2003, during a backpacking trip through the Middle East, I began to meet Palestinian refugees from 1948. I didn’t know who the Palestinians were, or where Palestine was, and through my new acquaintances I began to hear a narrative about the history and present of Israel/Palestine that was entirely different from the one I had learned growing up in the United States.
My first reaction was disbelief, and anger. Families told me stories of past and present military attacks, house demolitions, land confiscation, imprisonment without trial, and torture. It seemed that these actions were not carried out for the protection of Jewish people, but rather for the creation and expansion of a Jewish state at the expense of the rights, lives, and dignity of the non-Jewish people living in the region. It was hard for me to believe that Israel could act so unjustly.
Not believing what I heard, I decided to do some research to prove myself right. Immediately, I was shocked to find how much I didn’t know about the situation on the ground. Not knowing who or what to believe anymore, I decided to go to see the situation with my own eyes. Since I returned, I’ve dedicated my life to informing fellow Americans and others about what I found, and what they can do to support a just peace for all peoples in Israel/Palestine."

Here is something we found on the internet: Posted by Dan on July 24, 2009
"As an Israeli I was raised and told the Palestinians left on their "Own free will" As a child I did not understand any of it and swallowed the Zionist propaganda cliches. I arrived at the conclusion that the ethnic cleansing was a premeditated Zionist plan to turn Palestine into a so called "Jewish Democracy"
The Israeli Education minister,Gideon Saar, has instructed the term Nakba be removed from Israeli history books which makes your work highly significant in preventing the rewriting of History."PLEASE make the effort to protest about this sickening infringement of the most fundamental of human rights by emailing the Israeli Ambassador to the UK. Whilst you are doing this, please will you also demand: When will Gaza be opened up for full humanitarian aid, reconstruction aid and imports and exports? Security is no longer an issue as Hamas have bravely initiated a unilateral ceasefire and persuaded the militants to stop the retaliatory rocket attacks.
The truth is that anti-rocket technology which would render the armed resistances rockets impotent does exist, but the leaders of Israel don't want to have no excuse for continuance of subjugation and ethnic cleansing
His Excellency Ron Prosor, Ambassador of Israel to the Court of St James’s (you don't have to use these ridiculous titles!)
* * * * * * * *
Hopefully the rocket attacks from Gaza are now a thing of the past. How about Israeli shells & missiles (Israeli force and killing has generally been around 100 TIMES higher in magnitude than that of the armed Palestinian resistance)?
how would we cope in London?

Many Israeli Soldiers now refuse to serve in the Illegally Occupied Territories: Israel appears to be verging towards Totalitarianism & these people along with many others who seek justice for the Arabs are jailed, beaten or vilified.
Yesh Gvul (“There is a limit !”) is an Israeli peace group campaigning against the occupation by backing soldiers who refuse duties of a repressive or aggressive nature.
The brutal role of the Israeli army in subjugating the Palestinian population places numerous servicemen in a grave moral and political dilemma, as they are required to enforce policies they deem illegal, immoral and ultimately harmful to Israeli interests.

Israel isn't some dodgy state many thousands of miles away, these are our buddies on the shore of the Med, where we go on holidays. Little kids will be freezing and hungry in tents this winter (AGAIN), because Netanyahu has kept the blockade after their homes were blown to pieces & WE chose to support and generally appease the barbarity to:
a) to keep the Jewish voters happy - even though most International Jews have made an outright condemnation of the Gaza Massacre, the Illegal Occupation & the brutality of Apartheid in Israel & Palestine.
b) to placate the many rich & powerful Radical Zionists who support & control so many of our politicians.
We used to suppose the State Terrorism against civilians was out of paranoia, but it has become apparent from much evidence that it is in fact a finely tuned mechanism of the ongoing insidious Ethnic Cleansing and dehumanisation process. Which will never work unless Israel finds a way to kill them more quickly or sterilise them, because the Palestinians birthrate is still higher than the rate at which they are killed or turfed out of their homes.
Our politicians appear to be supporting & rewarding the Israeli government for the Illegal Occupation of Palestine. Obama just waived the tariffs on Dairy Produce from Israel, also since the Gaza Massacre he has increased the US taxpayer's funding of the US sponsored Apartheid/Terrorist Regime to over US$ 10,000,000 per DAY - and thereby is cheering on the oppression, illegal activities and murder of innocent civilians (which they say is "defence"). If you disagree with their policies which cost the tax payers of the world TRILLIONS and keep the majority of the world's population grossly underfunded (or not funded at all) in just about every aspect of health, education, transport, culture and social welfare, then EMAIL your protest NOW. AREN'T YOU SICK OF IT?

You can write, email or telephone the British Foreign Secretary: William Hague over any or all of the issues below:
(he is very particular about only answering correctly addressed email,
the link above is the correct one to mail him in his role as Foreign Secretary)
- other than 40 year old impotent rhetoric, what is Britain doing to put REAL pressure on Israel to stop the Illegal Occupation?
- why have we only paid lip service to Opening Gaza where children are still dying because of Natanyahu's inhuman blockade?
- Why aren't we making stronger protests and initiating punitive measures against the Illegal Ethnic Cleansing of the Arab Capital of East Jerusalem?
- Why did Britain not vote to endorse the Goldstone Report - being in talks with Netanyahu & Sarkozy is NO excuse for this - if we don't keep up the pressure, Netanyahu will take more and more.
- Why do we continue to support and reward Israel for thei Illegal Occupation with the EU Israel trade agreement?
- What plans does this government have to put more pressure on Israel and to keep up this pressure - being friendly and "diplomatic" hasn't really worked has it in the last 40 years or so?
- Why won't we seek a full Boycott of Israeli goods & services as we successfully did to remove the similar Apartheid in South Africa.

Israeli children are brainwashed from a very young age, not only on how it is their duty to kill resisting Arabs with a bullet, but that the whole world HATES them because they are JEWS. What a load of rubbish, the reason why so many reasonable people do HATE them has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with moderate Judaism, but is simply because radical-Zionists are murdering & torturing or falsely imprisioning and otherwise brutally oppressing MILLIONS of INNOCENT INDIGENOUS NON-JEWISH PALESTINIANS.

Whilst American workers have their homes repossessed & the poorest U.S. citizens suffer, President Obama's Imperialist regime has so far maintained the U.S.$ 7,000,000,000 unconditional "AID" to Israel.
Either directly or indirectly this money buys the horrific (often U.S. supplied weapons such as the illegally used White Phosphorus shells) and also helps to fund the huge Illegal subsidies the Israeli government offers as "incentives" to illegally transfer Israeli population to the Illegally Occupied Territories - though as in the case of the water supply it is often the oppressed indigenous population themselves who are forced to pay premium prices so the Illegal Settlers (often armed and vicious) who get up to 70% discount on the water they are stealing from the Arabs aquifers. Incidentallt one of the Israeli tactics of "collective punishment" is to destroy the Arabs wells and water collection systems. (video below: The Middle East's water war)

We broadly agree with our wise, pragmatic & moderate friends in Israel, Palestine & the UK
whose views are well represented by the British charity Jews for Justice for Palestinians.
“Jews for Justice for Palestinians is concerned for justice for them—and us! Without justice for Palestinians, there is no hope for Israel.” RABBI JEFFREY NEWMAN

People will often say “it’s so complicated” or “there will never be peace between the Arabs & the Jews”
Our belief is that if we leave it up to our leaders, with all their vested interests & political considerations eg: “now we must stop criticizing Netanyahu’s regime as we want him to help us attack Iran” (which would be even more madness), it will be complicated & nothing will ever change.
Surely the power for peace lies with the individual citizens on both sides who are willing to speak out for true justice & whose desire is to build bridges not walls.
We plead that both sides STOP the killing, maiming and otherwise mentally or physically torturing of innocent civilians NOW
We implore Hamas who were fairly elected: "even though you have been treated shamefully by Israel, USA, UK et al, PLEASE will you try to secure the soonest possible release of Israeli Soldier Gilad Shalit as an Islamic unilateral declaration of peace and love towards all human beings."
Also "please use your hard earnt influence to persuade all militants, in the face of Netanyahu & Ehud Barak's overwhelming terrorist acts against the innocent civilians of Gaza, to make a unilateral declaration of peace against their atrocities - the world (the citizens, NOT our cynical leaders) is finally coming round to demanding the justice you have been denied for so long" Thank you - you did this!
update Monday 23 Nov 2009: It looks like Hamas have done this - thank you so much, now it is up to us to support their unilateral declararion of peace - we must demand the justice they so desperately need and deserve.
PLEASE email the British Foreign Secretary: William Hague NOW & ask him what he is going to do to support Hamas and to up the ante on Israel. If you need help, please call Adam on 07886 215 329 - if no answer, PLEASE leave a message and I WILL call you back. I'm happy to call you back anyway to save your phone bill - please just remind me when you call. Or you can get me on SKYPE: borntorunsailor
