    "Because A Friendship as Strong As This Will Never Let Us Forget"/Haim Guri Malka Maor – Editor of "Al HaGush", Misgav Local Magazine In memory of Arbel Reich (z"l) who on Thursday July 12, 2007 fell during combat operations in the Gaza Strip First Sergeant Arbel Reich (z"l), from Yuvalim in the Misgav Regional Council, son of Moshe and Yael Reich, founding members of the community, and brother to Moran and Einav, an IDF NCO from the Recon Battalion, Elite Unit of the Givati Brigade fell during combat operations in the Gaza Strip, when an IED was activated against his unit in battle. Arbel, aged 21 was eight months prior to his honorable discharge from regular army duty. On Friday afternoon, July 13, 2007, under a hot sun, Arbel came to his final resting place in Misgav's regional cemetery. Thousands came to tearfully accompany him, pay their last respects and console the anguished members of his family to the sound of the heart-wrenching tears of his stunned young friends unable to comprehend the loss. But who could… The photos he left behind show a fine young man. The eulogies said before his grave painted a picture of a humane, ideological, sensitive and caring person, one who loved 1 life, his family and country, a young man who was dedicated to his service, and saw friendship as a supreme value. The following are portions of the various eulogies said during Arbel's (z"l) funeral Remarks made by Moshe Reich, his father "We will continue Arbel's path, his path of giving, love, his way of helping others and humility" "Arbeli, I tried all night to write something, but I couldn't.

    Land Ownership in Palestine

    LAND OWNERSHIP IN PALESTINE ... ·'·"" ·'· * Sami Hadawi THE PALESTINE ARAB R ~ FUGEE OFFICE 801 2od Avenue, 1o... 801 New York 17, N. Y. LAND OWNERSHIP IN PALESTINE -·- SAMI HADAWI THE PALESTINE ARAB REFUGEE OFFICE 801 2nd Avenue, Room 801 New York 17, N. Y. January 1957 This material is filed with the Department of Justice, where the required statement of "The Palestine Arab Refugee Office," registration No. 897, is available for inspection. Registration does not imply approval O'r disapproval of this material by the United States Government. FOREWORD Most of the material which has been written about Palestine since the tragedy of 1948, has dealt with the political side of the issue. The Israeli propaganda machine tries to give the impression to the outside world that the Palestine problem is nothing more than a case of~ dispute over a country which legally and legitimately belongs to the Jews and which the Arab States covet to annex to their own vast territories. As such, all other problems affecting the rights and interests of the Arab inhabitants of Palestine are of a secondary nature. The fact that is generally over-shadowed by this Israeli and Zionist propaganda, and w,hich, as a result, has been overlooked by world opinion so far as Palestine is concerned, is that the status of a country as belonging to a particular people is judged by the natural rights of the individuals who have been born and have tilled its soil for generations, rather than governed by political or other considerations. For the last four decades, Zionist propaganda has given a distorted picture of the situation in the Holy Land.

On January 3, 2009, Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza intended to eliminate Hamas’s willingness or capability to launch rockets at Israeli towns and cities. As of January 14, Israeli bombings and ground forces had reportedly killed over 1,000 Palestinians, while 13 Israelis had been killed by Palestinian rockets and attempts to counter the ground invasion. Some Israeli observers have suggested that neither toppling the Hamas regime nor permanently ending all rocket attacks is a realistic goal. Nevertheless, by temporarily disabling Hamas’s military capacity and slowing its rearmament, Israel could ease the frequency and intensity of Hamas attacks in the months ahead as it prepares to deploy new, more sophisticated anti-rocket defense systems.
