Palestine: Arab-Israeli Conflict and Occupation
The UN Partition Plan in 1948 allocated 55% of historic Palestine to a Jewish state, though Jews comprised only 1/3 of the population at the time. After the 1948 war, Israel took control of 78% of the land, displacing over 750,000 Palestinians. Today, there are over 4.7 million Palestinian refugees in camps across the region who have been denied their right to return. The occupation of the West Bank and construction of the separation barrier on Palestinian land has severely restricted Palestinians' freedom of movement and access to resources.

Nick Clegg, the UK Deputy Prime Minister, accused Israel of "deliberate vandalism" for its continued construction of illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. Clegg stated that the settlements make a two-state solution, which has been the basis of negotiations for years, unviable. The Israeli government responded angrily to Clegg's comments. Meanwhile, the article discusses ongoing illegal settlement expansion, home demolitions impacting Palestinians, discriminatory policies in Jerusalem, and other issues negatively impacting prospects for a two-state solution.
Israel apartheid? Some facts
This document discusses and responds to common arguments made against Israel regarding apartheid, occupation of Palestinian territories, and treatment of Palestinians. It is organized into four sections addressing the civil/legal issues, economic issues, religious issues, and security/settlement issues. Each section examines claims related to that topic and provides counterarguments and context in response.
Israel Palestine 101
The document summarizes key aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and proposals for a two-state solution, including:
1) It outlines the histories, narratives and current situations of Israel and Palestine, highlighting economic, military and demographic disparities between the two sides.
2) It discusses peace proposals like the Arab Peace Initiative, Roadmap for Peace, and grassroots initiatives that support a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine based on 1967 borders.
3) International and domestic public opinion polls show majority support for a two-state solution among Israelis and Palestinians, though challenges to the solution remain.
Boycott israel
This document discusses reasons for boycotting Israel, including that Israel is an apartheid and colonial state. It occupies Palestinian land and restricts Palestinian movement and rights. The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is described as urging punitive non-violent measures against Israel until it complies with international law by ending occupation, ensuring full equality for Arab citizens, and recognizing Palestinian refugees' right of return. Specific companies like L'Oreal, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Danone, and others are mentioned as targets due to their operations in Israeli settlements or profits from violations of Palestinian rights.
Bahrain: A Brickwall (1994-96)
This document provides background information on the human rights situation in Bahrain and summarizes correspondence between Lord Avebury, chairman of the Parliamentary Human Rights Group, and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office regarding human rights abuses in Bahrain. It discusses Bahrain's history under British rule and protection, the establishment of its security system, and the ongoing pro-democracy movement seeking to reinstate the constitution since it was suspended in 1975. The correspondence reveals little positive response from the British government to human rights concerns raised about Bahrain despite the UK's role in establishing Bahrain's security apparatus.
Ireland and the search for independence
The government of Ireland changed drastically from 1800-1921. Ireland was originally ruled by the British government in Westminster and Irish MPs had little power. Many Irish people wanted self-rule, known as Home Rule. After the 1916 Easter Rising and War of Independence against Britain, Ireland established its own parliament, the Dáil, in 1919. However, the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 created the Irish Free State, establishing an independent Ireland but still within the British Empire. This caused division as some wanted a full republic separate from Britain.
Two Tales of One City
The document presents two opposing narratives of the history of Israel/Palestine:
1) The Israeli narrative argues that Jews have historical and religious ties to the land dating back thousands of years. It views the establishment of Israel as a necessity after the Holocaust and Arab rejection of the UN partition plan led to war.
2) The Palestinian narrative argues that Arabs have lived in the region for far longer and Jews were a small minority until recent immigration. It views the establishment of Israel as illegitimate and involving ethnic cleansing and oppression of Palestinians.
Both sides claim historical and moral justification for their claims to the land, but ultimately present two very different interpretations of the events that led to the current conflict.

Major new initiatives
Ellen Fairclough became Canada's first female cabinet minister in 1957 as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. During her tenure, she worked to reduce discrimination in Canada's immigration policies. In 1962, Fairclough introduced regulations that ended racial discrimination in immigration selection. This made Canada the first of the major immigrant receiving countries to abolish a "white Canada" policy. However, Fairclough's reforms to make immigration more merit-based faced opposition from those who felt it replaced one form of discrimination with another.
Apartheid in South Africa
The document summarizes the history of apartheid in South Africa and its eventual end. It describes how apartheid was instituted in 1948, establishing racial segregation and oppression of non-white populations. Anti-apartheid movements like the ANC organized protests but faced harsh crackdowns. Leaders like Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko were imprisoned. International sanctions and domestic unrest increased pressure until F.W. de Klerk legalized the ANC and released Mandela in 1990, paving the way for multi-racial elections in 1994 that elected Mandela as South Africa's first black president, marking the official end of apartheid.
Palestinians
This document is from the perspective of a Palestinian describing their plight. It summarizes that Palestinians have lived in the land for thousands of years but since 1945 have had their homes and land taken by Israel through attacks and theft. Palestinians live surrounded by walls in what some call a "Giant Prison" and their children try to hide or fight back to regain their freedom and homes. Despite throwing stones in protest against their oppression, Israel remains much stronger due to support from allies like the United States. Some Palestinians have turned to violence out of desperation while many are killed or wounded by Israeli attacks. The document calls for others to learn about and help the Palestinian people.
Usa immigration-2015
This document summarizes the history of US immigration from the 1840s to present day. It describes the various pushes and pulls that drove immigration from different parts of the world at different time periods, including economic needs, wars, and political unrest. It also outlines the various laws and policies that both encouraged and restricted immigration over time, with acceptance of immigrants fluctuating based on economic and social factors. Major events covered include the establishment of Ellis Island, the introduction of national quotas, the Bracero program, the 1965 Immigration Act, and increased enforcement in the 2000s.
The third home rule bill
The document discusses the events surrounding the introduction of the Third Home Rule Bill in 1912 in Ireland. It summarizes that John Redmond believed Ireland was now peaceful, but opposition groups in Ulster soon openly defied the bill and rival military groups prepared for conflict. Within 10 years, Ireland was in a civil war and divided into two governments. The bill proposed devolving domestic powers to Ireland while retaining British control over foreign policy, but its opponents were willing to resist it by force.
Downing Street Declaration 1993
The Downing Street Declaration of 1993 was a joint declaration by the British and Irish governments that acknowledged the rights of the people of Ireland to self-determination. It aimed to kickstart the peace process and negotiations between the political parties in Northern Ireland. The declaration came after years of on-again, off-again talks between the parties and after secret talks between Sinn Fein and the British government. However, the declaration failed to stop violence as the IRA and loyalist paramilitaries continued attacks in the following months.
A Short History Of South Africa
Portuguese and Dutch explorers first settled in South Africa in 1652. The British took control in 1810. Apartheid policies of racial segregation were introduced in the mid-20th century, restricting non-white South Africans and causing international condemnation. Protests against apartheid grew violent in the 1970s. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, F.W. de Klerk replaced P.W. Botha and began dismantling apartheid, releasing Nelson Mandela from prison after 27 years and establishing a process for majority rule and a new multiracial constitution and democracy.
G325 Historical Background
The document discusses the socio-political context surrounding the 1959 British film Sapphire and how understanding this context is important for analyzing representations of black British collective identity in the film. It describes the post-WWII mass migration of West Indians and Asians to Britain to fill labor shortages. This led to racial tensions like the 1958 Notting Hill riots and fueled racist political discourse portraying immigrants as threats. Legislation like the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act restricted immigration and institutionalized notions of immigration equating to black/Asian people, establishing a basis for increasingly racist British immigration laws.
The irish home rule
The document discusses the history of the Irish Home Rule movement from the late 19th century through World War 1. It covers the political parties that supported and opposed Home Rule, the resistance in Ulster, various Home Rule bills proposed, and the impact of events like the Easter Rising of 1916. Key figures and groups discussed include Charles Stewart Parnell, William Gladstone, the Irish Nationalist Party led by John Redmond, the Ulster Unionist Party led by Edward Carson, and the nationalist Sinn Fein party.
Direct rule and Sunningdale agreement
Direct rule was established in Northern Ireland in 1972 as Stormont could no longer control the situation. The Sunningdale Agreement in 1973 attempted to establish power sharing between unionists and nationalists, with an executive formed in 1974. However, opposition from strict unionist groups like the DUP and UUUC, as well as ongoing paramilitary violence, caused the agreement to collapse after just a few months when the UWC strike brought Northern Ireland to a standstill. Power sharing had failed and direct rule from Britain was reestablished, with the political situation in Northern Ireland remaining unstable.
NOrthern IReland
Northern Ireland had a semi-autonomous government from 1920 until 1972 when sectarian violence between Protestants and Catholics resulted in over 400 deaths. As a result, Britain suspended the Northern Irish parliament and directly governed the region from London. The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 established a power-sharing government between the two communities and formally transferred governing power to the Northern Irish parliament. However, implementing and maintaining this power-sharing government proved difficult, with the government being suspended multiple times due to lack of progress on disarmament by paramilitary groups and boycotts by unionist parties.
The Home Rule Crisis and World War One in Ireland
John Redmond, leader of the Home Rule Party, convinced Prime Minister Asquith to grant home rule to Ireland in 1910. However, unionists strongly opposed home rule, fearing discrimination under Catholic rule. They organized under Sir Edward Carson and Sir James Craig, holding protests and forming armed groups like the Ulster Volunteer Force. Nationalists responded in kind with the Irish National Volunteers. As tensions rose, World War I broke out in 1914, postponing the home rule issue.
Anglo-Irish Agreement 1985
The 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement established regular meetings between the British and Irish governments to discuss issues in Northern Ireland but did not create a new power-sharing government. It agreed that Northern Ireland would not join the Republic of Ireland without the consent of Northern Ireland's majority and gave Ireland a consultative role in Northern Ireland's governance. Unionists strongly opposed the agreement as compromising Northern Ireland's position within the United Kingdom.
The IRA and the Troubles in Northern Ireland
Sinn Fein and the IRA emerged from Irish nationalist movements in the early 20th century. The IRA split in 1969 into the Provisional IRA and Official IRA. The Provisional IRA launched a bombing campaign against British targets in Northern Ireland to force withdrawal but this failed. The IRA then adopted a long war strategy of attrition through the 1970s and 1980s, attacking military and economic targets. IRA prisoners engaged in hunger strikes in the 1980s which increased support for Sinn Fein politically. Eventually, Sinn Fein and the IRA adopted a strategy of using both political and military means, leading to IRA decommissioning and Sinn Fein becoming the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland.
12. S Northern ireland troubles to 2011
The Troubles in Northern Ireland began in the late 1960s due to grievances over discrimination in housing, employment and voting rights faced by the Catholic/Nationalist minority population. The civil rights movement organized protests that were often met with police violence, exacerbating tensions. Bloody Sunday in 1972 led to a massive increase in violence as republican paramilitary campaigns intensified and loyalist paramilitaries also emerged. Over 3,000 people were killed during The Troubles before the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 established devolved government and power sharing, though tensions and sporadic violence continued.
Populate or perish PPT
The document discusses Australia's migration patterns and policies from 1945 to present. It provides context on the period before 1945 and the attitudes that drove the White Australia policy. After World War 2, there was a push to "populate or perish" and attract more migrants due to labor shortages, economic reasons, and national defense concerns following Japanese advances during the war. The first large waves of post-war migrants came from Britain, but Australia also took in refugees from Europe and established the Department of Immigration to promote and manage the large influx of immigrants.
Good friday agreement
The Good Friday Agreement established a major political framework for peace in Northern Ireland. It was agreed upon by the British and Irish governments as well as eight political parties in Northern Ireland. Key aspects of the agreement included establishing a Northern Ireland Assembly with legislative powers, forming a power-sharing Executive Committee, and outlining commitments to human rights, disarmament of paramilitary groups, and the future status of Northern Ireland remaining part of the UK. However, implementation faced challenges including parliamentary crises over the IRA's refusal to disarm and a bank robbery attributed to the IRA.
Anglo-Irish Agreement 1985
The Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985 established an intergovernmental conference between the UK and Irish governments to cooperate on security, legal and political issues regarding Northern Ireland. It set up offices with staff from both Ireland and the UK and acknowledged that a united Ireland could only happen with the consent of Northern Ireland's majority. Unionists strongly opposed the agreement, seeing it as a betrayal and handing Northern Ireland to Ireland. Protests were large but faded by 1986, though paramilitary violence continued, killing almost 300 people by 1987. The agreement remained in place but talks in 1991 failed to make further progress.
IRA Army
This document discusses the history of the IRA and its involvement in conflicts in Ireland from the early 20th century onwards. It covers the origins of tensions between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland, the Irish War of Independence against British rule between 1919-1921, and the subsequent Irish Civil War. It also discusses the split within the IRA after the Anglo-Irish Treaty and formation of different IRA factions, as well as the IRA's portrayal in Irish culture through films and music. Finally, it briefly mentions the Colombia Three, three Irish nationals who trained FARC rebels in Colombia.

The document discusses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and why Israel is worried about it. It originated in 2005 from a call by Palestinian civil society for boycotts, divestment and sanctions. The BDS movement has three demands: ending Israel's occupation, recognizing Palestinian rights in Israel, and respecting the right of return for refugees. While initially derided, the BDS movement has grown and led some companies and organizations to withdraw support from Israel. Israel has passed laws against boycotts and lobbies other countries to do the same, showing that BDS is effectively pressuring Israel.

Comingof Age
The document summarizes life during the Great Depression era in the United States. It describes how "Black Thursday" in October 1929 marked the start of the economic depression. The failing economy took a major toll on households and led to high unemployment even with Roosevelt's New Deal legislation. As the depression continued through the 1930s, unemployment rose and many children were forced to leave school to help support their unemployed families.
Housing Market In USA
The document provides an overview of the 2007-2008 US subprime mortgage crisis. It discusses how subprime lending grew rapidly in the 2000s, fueling a housing boom. However, rising defaults caused many subprime lenders to fail as home prices declined. This impacted broader financial markets through securities like collateralized debt obligations that contained subprime mortgages. Government agencies intervened to support refinancing for at-risk homeowners to mitigate fallout from the crisis.

A Small Truth To Make Life 100
The document presents a cipher where letters of the alphabet correspond to numbers 1 through 26. It analyzes the numeric values of words like "Hard Work", "Knowledge", "Love", "Luck", "Money", and "Leadership" and finds they all add up to less than 100%. However, it finds that the word "Attitude" has a value of exactly 100%. Therefore, it concludes that having the right attitude is what allows one to achieve 100% in life. It encourages sharing this message with loved ones.

Un Caso PráCtico En Panamá
Este documento presenta dos propuestas para el orden de asientos en la mesa durante la clausura de una conferencia de protocolo en Panamá. La primera opción coloca a los representantes panameños en los primeros cinco asientos, pero esto no mezcla suficientemente a los participantes internacionales. La segunda opción alterna mejor los participantes panameños e internacionales, aunque esto requiere algunos ajustes en las precedencias. Al final, la segunda opción es seleccionada porque valora más la imagen global del evento.

Worktrek 2
This document provides an itinerary for a worktrek to Jerusalem in June 2011. The trip included visits to sites in Israel and the Palestinian territories like Jericho, Ramallah, Nablus, Galilee, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. Key stops included refugee camps like Dheisheh, settlements, and areas affected by the Israeli wall and occupation. Meetings with Palestinians illuminated issues of the right of return, daily life under occupation, and nonviolent resistance through campaigns like planting olive trees.
Land Sources Booklet
Israel plans to announce the construction of 1,400 new homes in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank next week when Palestinian prisoners are released. This will include 600 homes in Ramat Shlomo, a settlement annexed to Jerusalem, and 800 more across several other West Bank settlements that Israel aims to retain in any peace deal. The expansion of settlements has been condemned internationally but continues at an average annual growth rate of 5%, outpacing Israeli population growth.
Year of no decision chapter 6
This document discusses General Moshe Dayan's tactics for acquiring Palestinian land and displacing people after Israel's establishment in 1948. It describes one instance where Dayan tried to trick Jordan into accepting a village so he could confiscate its lands, saying he would have one farmer who spoke out "liquidated." It also outlines methods Israel used to take land over time, such as offering higher wages to farmers to work in factories so their land could later be claimed as abandoned. The document asserts that Israel's actions violate the Geneva Convention and are a systematic attempt to annex the West Bank through violations of Palestinians' rights and movement.
Israeli Apartheid
The document discusses comparisons between the situation in Palestine and apartheid in South Africa, citing quotes from Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, and a UN resolution. It describes how Palestinians live under military law and face restrictions on movement, home demolitions, violence, and unequal access to resources like land and water compared to Israeli settlers. Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert warned that failing a two-state solution could lead to an apartheid-style struggle for equal rights.
Palestinian Refugees
The document summarizes the origins and ongoing issues surrounding Palestinian refugees. It notes that around 700,000 Palestinians became refugees after the establishment of Israel in 1948. While UN Resolution 194 affirmed their right to return, Israel has rejected this interpretation. Proposed solutions have included limited return, compensation, or resettlement, but mutual unwillingness to recognize the other's needs has prevented a resolution. Competing claims over refugee properties and compensation for Jewish refugees from Arab states further complicate discussions.
Moral Investments End The Occupation
The document discusses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and argues that it is primarily about land and profits rather than an ancient struggle. It describes how Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank displace Palestinians and are enabled by support from the US government and military contractors. Companies are listed that provide weapons, equipment, or services to Israel that are alleged to support the occupation.
The israel palestine conflict overview
This document provides a historical overview of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the 19th century to present day. It describes how Jewish immigration to Palestine increased in the late 1800s due to antisemitism in Europe. After World War 1, Britain agreed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, contradicting the wishes of the indigenous Palestinian population. Violence increased throughout the 1920s-1940s as Palestinians resisted Zionist settlement and control over their land. The UN partition of 1947 led to war and the mass displacement of Palestinians known as the Nakba. Ongoing issues include illegal Israeli settlements, the blockade of Gaza, and denial of Palestinian rights and self-determination.

The Ofra Settlement – An Unauthorized Outpost

1) The document provides background on the Israeli settlement of Ofra in the West Bank, established in 1974 by the Gush Emunim movement.
2) It finds that around 60% of Ofra's built-up area is on privately owned Palestinian land according to the Land Registry, and the settlement was built without proper permits or approval of an outline plan as required by law.
3) Based on Israeli government criteria from 2005, the report concludes that Ofra qualifies as the largest unauthorized outpost in the West Bank due to these legal failings regarding its establishment and development.The israeli conflict2
The document provides background information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from different perspectives. It discusses the creation of Israel in 1948 and the war that followed, as well as subsequent wars and peace efforts over subsequent decades. Key events covered include the 1967 war where Israel gained additional territory, the Camp David Accords where Egypt and Israel made peace, and the two Intifadas where Palestinians rebelled against Israeli occupation. Ongoing issues preventing a two-state solution include disputes over Jerusalem, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and Israel's security barrier. The document aims to present both Israeli and Palestinian viewpoints on these historical events and current issues.
Global Citizenship Moodle
The document provides background information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through excerpts from the book "The Lemon Tree" and descriptions of key events from the early 1900s to present day. It includes perspectives from both Israelis and Palestinians on issues like claims to the land, wars and peace efforts. Students reflect on how they would feel in different situations and complete assignments intended to help them understand multiple viewpoints.
Israel Palestine Conflict & History
'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

What is left of the two state solution
The document summarizes the impact of 45 years of Israeli occupation on the Palestinian territory. It notes that Israel has de facto annexed nearly half of the West Bank through settlements, the wall, and associated infrastructure which has fragmented the Palestinian territory. Over 500,000 Israeli settlers now live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in contravention of international law. The wall extends over twice the length of the Green Line and cuts off Palestinians from land and resources. International bodies have condemned the occupation and settlements as illegal and an obstacle to Palestinian self-determination.
PALESTINE ISSUE FOR CSS PMS BY SIR WAQAS KHAN VIRK.pdf
The document provides a historical overview of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 1947 to the present. It discusses key events like the UN partition of Palestine, the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the 1967 Six Day War, the Oslo Accords, and ongoing issues around settlements and Palestinian statehood. Three main unresolved issues preventing peace are permanent borders, the Palestinian right of return, and control over East Jerusalem. The document concludes by outlining six steps that could help achieve resolution, including mutual recognition, sharing economic prosperity, acknowledging religious ties to holy sites, and changing education to promote understanding.
Report from Palestine and Israel
Peter Larson visited Israel and Palestine in October-November 2009 to see the situation on the ground and determine if Israel could be considered an apartheid state. He met with over 30 organizations and individuals, and visited Jerusalem, the West Bank, Israel, and Bedouin villages in the Negev desert. In Jerusalem, he observed Israeli settlements, the separation barrier, disparities in services between east and west Jerusalem, and the demolition of Palestinian homes. In the West Bank, he saw refugee camps, Israeli control of land and resources, and Jewish settlements. Inside Israel, he noted the struggles of Palestinian citizens and Bedouin communities. His main conclusion was that Palestine continues to disappear as Israel's decades-long campaign to take over the
How does a 21st century version of apartheid look like palestine knows
This document summarizes the impacts of Israel's planned separation wall in the West Bank based on leaked sections of the "Fence Map" that outlines its route. Key findings include:
1) The wall will fragment the West Bank into disconnected Palestinian cantons, isolating over 16% of the population and disrupting access to land and water for many more.
2) It will severely impact over 39% of all Palestinian localities, placing 13% on the Israeli side and disrupting resources for 26% more.
3) The wall will destroy the territorial cohesion of Palestinian districts, leaving most fragmented, two reduced to a fifth of their size, and Jerusalem lost altogether.

- European and American Jews began purchasing land and settling in Palestine and Israel in the late 19th century, establishing communities and strengthening Jewish identity in the region.
- During WWI, the British made contradictory promises to Arabs and Jews regarding independence and a homeland. This led to tensions between the two groups.
- In 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration supporting the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but tensions rose as Arabs felt marginalized from the land. After the war, Britain gained control of the territory as a mandate.
Israel palestine conflict
The document provides a comprehensive overview of the Israel-Palestine conflict, covering its history, wars, key events and issues. It discusses the Zionist movement in the late 19th century that advocated for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, leading to increased Jewish settlement and tensions with Arabs. It summarizes the 1948 and 1967 Arab-Israeli wars, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, and peace efforts including the failed Oslo Accords. Ongoing issues include settlements, Hamas-Fatah tensions, and competing claims over Jerusalem and borders. The document concludes that a two-state solution establishing independent Israeli and Palestinian states is the generally accepted framework for resolving the conflict.

The document discusses the 60th anniversary of the Nakba, or catastrophe, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Palestinians becoming refugees after the establishment of Israel in 1948; it describes the ongoing Israeli occupation and siege of Palestinian territories, including incursions in Gaza that have killed civilians, including children; and it provides updates on other issues affecting Palestinians such as restrictions on movement, home demolitions, and poor economic and living conditions under the Israeli blockade.

- Palestinians react with anger as the US vetoes a draft UN Security Council Resolution calling for Israel to end its illegal settlement building. All 14 other Security Council members vote in favour.
- The veto reflects the US's bias towards Israel and undermines US credibility as a mediator in peace efforts. Palestinians see the explanations for the veto as "paltry excuses".
- The article also discusses Israel's attacks on Gaza that killed one Palestinian, protests against the Israeli separation wall in Bil'in village, discrimination against Palestinians in the West Bank, and Israel's new $1.6 million social media propaganda campaign.

House Demolitions
- 1. Israel’s Honed Policy of House Demolitions and Land-Grab The Increasingly-Frequently-Used Policy of the Apartheid Regime: the Demolition of Palestinian Homes to Set the Stage for Expansion of Israeli Settlements and Land and Resource Grab. Israel’s policy of house demolitions seeks to confine Palestinians to small enclaves, leaving most of the land free for Israeli settlement. --ICAHD [Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions]
- 4. A Village Near Bethlehem: Over 60 Homes and one Mosque Slated for Demolition in Village; Numerous Houses Previously Demolished. The land of Walaja village, just east of Bethlehem, has been annexed into Jerusalem municipality. Israel gets the land, Palestinians get nothing .
- 5. After their home was demolished for the first time in January 2006, the family lived for two months—in winter—in this tent. Demolitions come very early in the morning, with little to no advance warning: “ Imagine sleeping in your home and someone knocks on your door telling you to get out of your house, that it will be demolished. You have no time to take your clothes, to take anything. It is all destroyed.”
- 6. Using their own money, they re-built their home. It was demolished a 2 nd time in December, 2006. The Holy Land Trust and ICAHD came together to re-build their house yet again. There is a great likelihood it will yet again be demolished by the Israeli government and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).
- 7. Neighbours came to watch re-building efforts, intimately familiar re-building efforts, along with intimately familiar frustration and sorrow. One neighbour has been in court for 12 years, protesting the illegal demolition of his home by the IOF. He has spent vast amounts in court fees and still does not have the right to build anything on his property: not even a chicken coop—the chickens stay, instead, inside an old van. Although Israel’s arbitrary and self-serving laws are absurdly transparent, no one holds Israel accountable for its actions.
- 16. Sharing the details of their various house demolitions, assaults by the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces), harassment by soldiers and police alike, and frustration at the unaccountability of Israeli law with regard to Palestinian rights.
- 17. Some of the internationals re-building and learning from their Palestinian hosts.
- 21. Rebuilding in Anata: an ICAHD project.
- 22. ICAHD organizes 2 week international work camps each year, to re-build homes destroyed by Israel. Internationals of all ages and nationalities unite to re-build.
- 23. Building walls.
- 24. While the home ICAHD had chosen to re-build was under construction, the IOF bulldozed a smaller home in the area for no reason. ICAHD spontaneously decided to re-build the demolished home at the same time as the project underway. Seen from inside the house being re-built by ICAHD, a newly demolished home in the valley.
- 26. He has tried 4 times to obtain the necessary permit to build a home on his own land. Each attempt cost him US $5,000. Each attempt was rejected, for ever-changing reasons, by the Israeli government. His first home was demolished after 2.5 years. The IOF, upon arriving to demolish the home in the early hours of the morning, threw tear gas canisters into the house where his family was asleep. He was badly beaten. None of this is unusual.
