The most serious damage occurred in Haifa, where the fires forced 75,000 resi- dents to be evacuated from their homes and damaged 175 buildings; 100 buildings were destroyed and 500 people left homeless. It was the biggest such fire since the Mount Carmel forest fire in 2010 that killed 44. In that fire, a Prison Service bus was trapped and burned, killing many cadets, as well as three senior police officers. The fire itself was caused by negligence – a teenage resi- dent of Isfiya, a Druse town, told police he inadvertently started the fire with a hookah ember. After the Carmel fire, there was a “Fire caused by arson or incitement to ar- aircraft, equipment and firefighters.

  • Israel, Palestine
    Oral Evidence on Israel and Palestine by EST I am a Christian by religion, born in Nazareth, Israel to Arabic-speaking Christian parents and brought up in Kufur Yasief, the hiding place of Josephus Flavius. Persecution for Christians in Israel and Palestine is not on the scale it is in Egypt, but it is there nonetheless. It must be added that there is a growing number of Jewish-background, and Russian Christians in Israel, who suffer more persecution from the Jewish state and people. Most Arabic-speaking Christians in Israel, as in greater Syria, are of mixed blood and my genetic profile shows that I am: Middle East (Aleppo) 64% Europe South 24% Caucasus 8% European Jewish 4% This emphasizes the genetic mix of Arabic-speaking Christians from Israel/Palestine. Christian Arabs in Israel/Palestine live in a climate of fear and therefore hypocrisy. Pressure on Arabic-speaking Christians to tow the Muslim Arab nationalist line is so great, that we are even afraid of complaining about injustices against us. We suffer: • At the hands of Jews, because we are seen as: o Arabs: and so enemies, and primitive. o Christian: and so gentiles. WE are often blamed, by association, for the European holocaust. • At the hands of Muslims because we are Christian, and "infidels." We are often punished for “western” bias towards Israel. Christian Arabs are persecuted by 4 groups: • The Israeli State • Jews • Muslims • Christian Zionists Persecution by the state of Israel The Israeli state officially does not distinguish between Christian and Muslim. The Jewish 'nation state' law (June 2018) simply discriminates against the Arabs of Israel regardless of faith: 1.

  • Creating the Jewish State: Projects of (In)Security and the Disjuncture to Price-Tag Violence
    (Re)Creating the Jewish State: Projects of (In)Security and the Disjuncture to Price-Tag Violence Nicola S. Mathie Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations November 2018 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing, which is the outcome of the work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: Nicola S. Mathie Research Award This thesis is the outcome of Research Award Grant Number 1225917 from The Economic and Social Research Council. My appreciation will always be with The Economic and Social Research Council for funding this PhD. Abstract Jewish-Israeli settlements built over the State of Israel’s internationally-recognised territorial borders are sites of contestation. The focus of this thesis is upon conflicts and contestations which have developed between the State of Israel and some of its own subjects, Jewish settlers, over the evacuation of settlement-communities and structures, and other perceived threats to settlement. From 2008, a new form of violence has been enacted by individuals in the settler community. Self-declared as Price-Tag violence, the attacks take different forms. These include vandalising Palestinian properties and spraying provocative graffiti, and throwing Molotov cocktails at properties. Whilst the attacks are predominantly perpetrated upon Palestinian targets, the attacks are directed at the State of Israel. Price-Tag attacks have also occurred directly on Israeli targets, such as Israeli military vehicles.

  • Kurve Zur Hymne
    # 2009/46 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2009/46/kurve-zur-hymne Kurve zur Hymne Von Michael Saager <none> Yoni Wolf, Kopf des Trios Why?, ist nicht so übereifrig, wie es auf den ersten Blick ausschaut. Die Veröffentlichung von »Alopecia« liegt zwar erst ein Jahr zurück, und schon gibt es wieder ein neues Album, aber »Eskimo Snow« entpuppt sich dann doch nur als Produkt, das derselben Aufnahmesession entstammt wie »Alopecia«. Das allerdings hört man nicht unbedingt, leider. »Alopecia« verhalf dem Trio aus Cincinnati zum verdienten Durchbruch, weil es griffige Indiepop-Hooklines, fette, immer komplexe Beats und Yoni Wolfs Lyrics zu verbinden wusste. Insbesondere die Ohrwurmqualitäten des Vorgängers vermisst man nun auf »Eskimo Snow« – man muss die Stücke schon einige Male hören, um sich ihre Melodieverläufe merken zu können. Das Fehlen einprägsamer Melodien ist keine Schwäche an sich, fällt aber bei diesem Album umso deutlicher ins Gewicht, als »Eskimo Snow« aus Songs besteht, die dem Indie- Folk nahestehen oder der Psychedelic-Pop-Songwriter-Tradition entspringen. Und weil Produzent Mark Nevers (von Lambchop) der Ansicht war, scharfe Konturen müssten nicht unbedingt sein, wabert »Eskimo Snow« nun über lange Strecken einigermaßen orientierungslos vor sich hin. Glücklicherweise gibt es ein paar Ausnahmen, die so wundervoll sind, dass man die schwachen Stücke gerne verzeiht: Hier kriegt das Mäandernde die Kurve und wird mit assoziativer Selbstverständlichkeit alsbald in einen Re­frain überführt, der hymnischer nicht sein könnte.

Speaking on Thursday, 25 years to the day after the Oslo peace accords were signed on the White House lawn not far from his West Wing office, Mr. Kushner said President Trump had actually improved the chances for peace by stripping away the “false realities” that surround Middle East peacemaking.

  • Israel's New Police Chief Emerges from Shadowy World
    Israel’s New Police Chief Emerges from Shadowy World By Jonathan Cook Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, October 03, 2015 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights, Religion Jonathan Cook: The View from Nazareth 3 In-depth Report: PALESTINE October 2015 Palestinian minority in Israel worried by top cop’s twin-track as interrogator for secret police and hardline settler Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu parachuted in a new police chief last week after the government’s previous candidates were thwarted by controversy. Roni Alsheikh has officially been brought in as a new broom to sweep away a culture of corruption and sex scandals that has plagued the Israeli police for years. The first choice for police commander, Gal Hirsch, a former army general, had to be dropped last month after it emerged that the FBI had passed on suspicions about his arms-dealing company. Another hopeful, Benzi Sau, who served as acting police commander over the summer, drew a storm of protest from Israel’s large minority of 1.5 million Palestinian citizens. He had been harshly criticised by a judicial-led inquiry for deploying snipers 15 years ago against protesters in solidarity with the Second Intifada. Thirteen unarmed demonstrators from Israel’s Palestinian minority were killed in a few days of clashes. But Alsheikh is already proving to be an even more troubling choice to oversee law enforcement in Israel than either Hirsch or Sau, especially for the fifth of the population who are Palestinian citizens. Aida Touma-Suleiman, a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset for the Joint List party, said: “We were deeply opposed to Sau but at least his crimes were done in broad daylight.
