So there we were: just after Cast Lead had concluded in the two of us, humanitarian workers now, walking 20 meters behind a Palestinian mother and her two girls as we left Gaza. As vanguards, on posters everywhere they often own the liberation narrative. As early as the beginning of the 20th century it was accepted that separation from the Palestinians is a necessary condition to the existence of the State of Israel.

Even Mr. The synagogues were a focus of Palestinian anger after 38 years of Israeli occupation, primarily because they were among the only buildings left standing. A last pot simmered on the stove, under the blank spaces where the kitchen shelves had been, for the last Sabbath dinner of the Israeli settlement of Rafiah Yam. Since the evacuation of the settlers, however, rabbis mounted a high-profile campaign to save the buildings, demanding the government see to it that they would be protected by the Palestinians or by international organizations. Help us here. By Louisa Walters. A never-ending blockade For Schmale, the cause of this crisis is the land, sea and air blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. IvritTalk- Free trial lesson. Symbols count. If Israel had not existed, it would have had to be created as a part of the foundation for Arab autocracy, which from Casablanca to Damascus stole their citizens' freedoms and allowed precious little to put in their stomachs.

Rachel Saperstein, who was a resident of Neveh Dekalim in Gush Katif and now lives in the new community of Bnei Dekalim in the Lachish region, said she would not forgive Yehezkel, despite him expressing regret for her losing her home and his opposition to a further disengagement. Shortly after removing the last of the settlers two weeks ago, Israel sent in bulldozers to level the houses, leaving only a few public buildings and the synagogues. Until recently, only very few people could leave Gaza. ROAR is not just another online magazine — it is a multimedia loudspeaker for the movements and an intellectual breeding ground for revolutionary ideas. As they left their homes last month, the settlers took the sacred Torah scrolls from their synagogues, as well as prayer books and other holy items - symbolizing the end of the use of the buildings as houses of prayer.

He looked back at the house, and then up, at a faded Israeli flag flying from the roof. Emigration has long carried a stigma among some Palestinians, a people who have fought for generations to stay on their land. They manage their lives around the few scraps of energy they can get — it is not uncommon to get up in the middle of the night to use washing machines or walk aimlessly around the block until electricity comes back again to power the elevators, as a Palestinian woman who lived on the ninth floor and was seven months pregnant explained. An Israeli directive that prevents those with alleged ties to Hamas from leaving the Strip for treatment was blocked by the High Court of Justice. She quickly turned off the stove, grabbed her two kids by their hands and swooped them across the stairs, blinded by the white smoke which enveloped the house. At their core, Palestinians disrupt the status quo. Abbas, trying to ensure that the elected authorities get credit, and not the radicals of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, is vowing that the "return" of Gaza will soon be followed by that of the West Bank and Jerusalem. Last year Israel's Cabinet ruled the buildings would be torn down. Tech of the town! Birth of the blockade. Breaking News.

ROAR Magazine is an independent journal of the radical imagination providing grassroots perspectives from the frontlines of the global struggle for real democracy. Hamas was clearly the preferred partner for us and the State Department, both because of their credibility at the community level as opposed to a corrupt and feckless Fatah. With a camera continuously capturing you, each grimace and frustration. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all. Then there will be larger questions of Gaza, which has implications for Israel's domestic and foreign policy, for the stability of the Palestinian Authority, for the future of the Middle East peace plan known as the road map -- and for the reputations of President Bush and his secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, who have invested a great deal in trying to make Gaza work. For now, the mood on this side of Gaza is as mournful and angry as the mood on the Palestinian side is celebratory and expectant. The synagogue in the isolated settlement of Morag in southern Gaza was set ablaze minutes after hundreds of Palestinians stormed in. Jewish News holds our community together and keeps us connected.

The change set off an exodus from Gaza, which has a population of 2m.

  • HANAN... Chedet.Co.Cc January 27, 2009 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
    HANAN... Chedet.co.cc January 27, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Dear Hanan, 1. I agree entirely with you that building a great nation doesn't only take brains, but as you said it sure does help. 2. However brains alone without a heart (feelings) can produce a monster. 3. Israel is undoubtedly a great nation, becoming great through the brains and the numerous achievements you have listed. Yes I have used Israeli originated products like Microsoft Windows and Pentium chips (made in Malaysia) by Intel, an American company. 4. In fact I owe my life ultimately to Israel because there must be something invented by Israelis in the numerous instruments used in heart surgery. However most of the products used were invented and produced by Japanese. 5. I am amazed at the number of Nobel Laureates Israel has produced. I admit we have not produced even one. 6. But when the brain is without a heart it does not care for the misery resulting from the products of the brain. 7. The atom bombs which killed 100,000 men, women, children and babies are the product of Israeli (Jewish) brain. Most of the diabolical weapons now being used to kill millions of people are also the creation of Israelis on Zionist Jews. The depleted uranium and phosphorous shells being used in Gaza are also the product of Israeli brains. 8. The current financial crisis which is destroying the economies of the U.S. Britain and in fact all the countries of the world is due to manipulations of banks, financial institutions and the monetary system by Jewish supporters of Israel.

  • The Human Cost of Disengagement
    Koret Communications Ltd. Northern Samaria Koret Communications Ltd. Gaza Strip gush 7/28/05 12:54 PM Page 1 gush 7/25/05 12:28 PM Page 2 Introduction Establishing peace is a fundamental goal of Jewish tradition and the declared policy of the State of Israel. Israel has long sought peace with its Arab neighbors and particularly with the Palestinians. The great challenge in making peace is that it is a process that hopefully does not end just with the cessation of hostilities between former enemies, but with the beginning of a new relationship of coexistence. Israel’s ultimate goal is to establish good neighborly relations with a Palestinian state. Against the background of more than four years of terrorist bloodshed, Israel has initiated its Disengagement Plan in the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, both to enhance its security and to put the peace process with the Palestinians back in motion. For it to have a chance to work, the plan requires a considerable sacrifice on the part of some 1,700 settlers and their families, or about 8,000 people who must leave the homes and livelihoods they have built over the course of several decades. In the short term, it is these settlers who are paying the greatest part of the price for peace. It is they who were encouraged by previous governments to settle barren land and turn it into homes, gardens, and farms, in the same pioneering spirit that built the State of Israel. They are now being asked to relinquish these accomplishments for the greater good.
