  • 13-26 July 2021
    13-26 July 2021 Latest developments (after the reporting period) On 28 July, Israeli forces shot and killed an 11-year-old Palestinian boy who was in a car with his father at the entrance of Beit Ummar (Hebron). According to the Israeli military, soldiers ordered a driver to stop and, after he failed to do so, they shot at the vehicle, reportedly aiming at the wheels. On 29 July, during protests at the funeral of the boy, Palestinians threw stones and Israeli forces shot live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, killing one Palestinian. On 27 July, Israeli forces shot and killed a 41-year-old Palestinian at the entrance of Beita (Nablus). According to the military, the man was walking towards the soldiers, holding an iron bar, and did not stop after they shot warning fire. No clashes were taking place at that time. Highlights from the reporting period Two Palestinians, including a boy, died during the reporting period after being shot by Israeli forces. Israeli forces entered An Nabi Salih (Ramallah) to carry out an arrest operation, and when Palestinian residents threw stones at them, soldiers shot live ammunition and tear gas canisters, killing a 17-year-old boy. The boy, according to the military, was throwing stones and endangered the life of soldiers, while, according to Palestinian sources, he was shot in his back. On 26 July, a Palestinian died of wounds after being shot by Israeli forces on 14 May, in Sinjil (Ramallah), during clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces. Overall, Israeli forces injured 615 Palestinians across the West Bank, including 24 children, the youngest of whom is a three- month-old baby.

  • Rose, Broschuere Israel Defense Forces.Pdf
    Editorial ie israelische Armee – ihre offizielle Bezeichnung „Israelische Verteidigungsarmee“ (Israeli Defense Forces – IDF, auf Hebräisch Zahal) – ist ohne Zweifel die bei D weitem stärkste Armee des gesamten Nahen Ostens. Bereits beim ersten israelisch-arabischen Krieg 1948 stellte sich sehr rasch die Überlegenheit Israels heraus, was einerseits auf die massiven Waffenlieferungen aus Europa, die weitaus bessere Ausbildung und Motivation der israelischen SoldatInnen aber auch auf die mangelnde Organisation, Koordination und Ausbildung der arabischen Armeen zurückzuführen war. Das bis heute von Israel und seinen Lobbyisten genährte Narrativ der existentiellen Bedrohung Israels durch „die Araber“ stellt daher eine zynische Verdrehung der Tatsachen dar. Wenn man von einer tatsächlichen Bedrohung sprechen kann, dann von einer der arabischen Staaten durch den in den Nahen Osten implantierten jüdisch- zionistischen Kolonialstaat. Die (Mit)schuld Europas und der USA an den Verbrechen am jüdischen Volk im Rahmen des Holocaust ausnützend hat es Israel mit Gewalt verstanden, beträchtliche arabische Gebiete zu erobern und zwar weit über die von der UNO im Teilungsplan von 1947 (Res. Nr. 181 der UN-Vollversammlung vom 29.11.1947) zugesprochenen Territorien hinaus. Israel hat sich aggressiv gegen alle arabische Nachbarstaaten verhalten und im Laufe der 65-jährigen Geschichte des Konfliktes von jedem betroffenen Staat (Ägypten, Jordanien, Libanon und Syrien) Gebiete besetzt und erobert. Die Besatzung ägyptischer jordanischer und libanesischer Gebiete dauerte Jahrzehnte an, der syrische Golan ist seit 1967 unter israelischer Kontrolle, ebenso der arabische Teil Jerusalems. Heute stellt aber die seit 1967 massiv betriebene – völkerrechtswidrige – Besatzungs-, Landraub- und Siedlungspolitik Israels in den palästinensischen Gebieten (hier geht es vor allem um die sogenannte Westbank) das Haupthindernis für jegliche politische Lösung des palästinensisch-israelischen Konfliktes dar.
