		<description><![CDATA[From the WW4Report - From the Zochrot (Remembering), a group of Israeli citizens working to raise awareness of the Nakba, the Palestinian catastrophe of 1948:
International Nakba Day, May 15, 2007
The Nakba is the story of the Palestinian tragedy: the destruction of communities, civilization, culture and identity, the expulsion and the killing that took place in 1948. It is a story that constitutes the past and present of the Palestinian people and shapes a large part of Palestinian identity. Yet in many respects the Nakba is also the story of Jews who live in Israel. A story that is not easy to cope with, a story that raises difficult questions about the possibilities of life together in the space that is today the state of Israel.
It is almost impossible to speak about the Nakba without speaking about taking responsibility and repairing the historical injustice that was committed against the Palestinian people. Such repair must begin first and foremost with the recognition of the right of Palestinians to return.
What is the right of return? The right of return is the personal right of every refugee who was expelled from the country, and their descendants, to return to their place of origin, based on international law and UN Resolution 194 passed on December 11, 1948. It is also the collective right of whole communities to return and live as a community, as a group, to carry out a social framework in shared spaces such as cultural centers, religious places, schools, recreational areas. The right of return is an ...]]></description>

Ramzy Baroud
March 9, 2007
Growing up in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, it was a very familiar encounter: Israeli soldiers storming our house accompanied by shouts of terror and a barrage of insults. Such recollections make me
shudder to this day.
Just the mere summoning of those memories of my childhood in the Nuseirat refugee camp haunting me not only in childhood but in my adulthood as well, shall most likely accompany me for the rest of my life - almost instantaneously forcing me to relive my mother’s agonizing cries, my father’s pleas for the welfare of his children, my brothers and I clutching to each other as the soldiers try to break us a part, the physical degradation, the verbal abuse, then the utter silence when the soldiers finally leave, the sounds of the engines fading away into the camp’s darkened roads, followed by far away screams from some other family in some other place, as the tragic scenario faithfully repeats itself.
My family’s house was positioned in a location that was simply a nightmare, since it stood at the helm of the  camp’s main square, often referred to as Red Square by locals, remembering the many Palestinians killed in and around it while protesting the occupation during the uprising or Intifada of 1987. Israeli soldiers began their nightly hunts for terrorists, i.e. stone throwing kids, from that central point. My house was often the first in the soldiers’ route:  it was there where ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open Letter to the People of Six Nations and the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island (&#8221;Canada&#8221;)
Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign February 28th, 2007 
On the anniversary of the Six Nations Land Reclamation we express our solidarity to you and to all those that are defending today their land and livelihoods against theft and colonization.
On February 28th, 2006, after the Canadian government gave a construction company the permission to build a settlement on their land, the people of Six Nations took it back, demanding an end to the theft and destruction of their land and to settler encroachment on their territory. Many of them now face charges in Canadian courts for defending their land. This sounds tragically familiar to us in Palestine and to many others around the world. For over 500 years the same mechanisms have been used against indigenous peoples, to colonize and dispossess. 
500 years ago empires and their missionaries spread Christianity and civilization with their swords. Today, these empires and their TV channels spread their so-called “freedom” and “democracy” with cluster bombs. The truth behind this ‘democratization’ became clear when we practiced their democracy, albeit under Israeli occupation and apartheid. The international community imposed on us a brutal siege for not choosing their candidates to lead us.
As Palestinians we are still victims of a colonial project and a state that continues to refer to itself as the “only democracy in the Middle East”. The fact that it has been scrutinized by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination for its ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One Country: Reviewing An Alternative Vision
By Remi Kanazi, 18 January, 2007
For years the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been mired by a series of failed peace negotiation, enmeshing Israeli Jews and Palestinians in a seemingly intractable struggle. Even 59 years after the creation of the state of Israel the quest for Jewish security has not been realized, while Palestinians—those dispossessed in 1948, 1967, and the 3.8 million living under Israeli occupation—have not seen a just resolution to a conflict that has marred their history and shaped their identity. The international community, including many Israeli and Palestinians, still subscribe to the notion that the two-state solution is the only way to settle the conflict.
Ali Abunimah’s new book, One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse, exposes the impracticality of partition and presents an alternative vision, one that encompasses both peoples on the basis of equal rights. The vision Abunimah presents is a one state solution.
One Country begins by revealing the various layers of Israel’s occupation and the grim realities of the proposed two-state solution. The accepted international and Palestinian call for a two-state solution is based on 22 percent of historic Palestine—the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The Palestinians (entitled under United Nations Resolution 194) insist on the right of return to their homeland or to be duly compensated for their expulsion. Yet, no Israeli prime minister or prominent figure to date has endorsed this right, nor has any Israeli government proposed a full withdrawal from the West Bank, the ...]]></description>

#9 The World Bank Funds Israel-Palestine Wall
Despite the 2004 International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision that called for tearing down the Wall and compensating affected communities, construction of the Wall has accelerated. The route of the barrier runs deep into Palestinian territory, aiding the annexation of Israeli settlements and the breaking of Palestinian territorial continuity. The World Bank’s vision of “economic development,” however, evades any discussion of the Wall’s illegality.
The World Bank has meanwhile outlined the framework for a Palestinian Middle East Free Trade Area (MEFTA) policy in their most recent report on Palestine published in December of 2004, “Stagnation or Revival: Israeli Disengagement and Palestinian Economic Prospects.”
Central to World Bank proposals are the construction of massive industrial zones to be financed by the World Bank and other donors and controlled by the Israeli Occupation. Built on Palestinian land around the Wall, these industrial zones are envisaged as forming the basis of export-orientated economic development. Palestinians imprisoned by the Wall and dispossessed of land can be put to work for low wages.
The post-Wall MEFTA vision includes complete control over Palestinian movement. The report proposes high-tech military gates and checkpoints along the Wall, through which Palestinians and exports can be conveniently transported and controlled. A supplemental “transfer system” of walled roads and tunnels will allow Palestinian workers to be funneled to their jobs, while being simultaneously ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An Open Letter Regarding Projects Between First Nations and Israeli People
By Ahniwanika (John Schertow)
A few months ago I read a news article about a project to create a Native Embassy in Israel (link to article below). I was suprised and confused at this development, and that in the comparison of Jewish and
Native People, there was no mention of Palestinians, or for that matter, the frequently volatile relationship between them and the Israeli People.
I also shared a concern with others in that, it doesn&#8217;t make any sense for Tadoule Lake First Nation to get an embassy in Israel - not while First Nations here are being disenfranchised by the Canadian Government, exploited by numerous Corporations, and even harmed by their (government-appointed) &#8216;Leadership&#8217;.
Only when Natives in Canada first have their own government; and then having built an embassy in Ottawa, can an embassy in Israel even be considered. And we would most certainly have to acknowledge how this would effect Israeli-Palestinian relations,  since in many respects, Palestinians are going through exactly what the Natives in Canada have gone through for centuries (and the Israeli Government&#8217;s policies towards Palestinians are often similar to the Canadian and American Government&#8217;s policies towards First Nations People).
With that in mind; today I found out about a Native delegation travelling to Israel for a cultural exchange. While there is certainly nothing wrong with that, in fully reading the media advisory (which also follows) the concerns I had about the Native embassy came rushing forward again&#8230;
So I decided to write this letter, and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends, Ref: First Nation trip to Israel (see press release below)
The Canadian Jewish Congress has organized a trip to Israel with leading members of Canada’s First Nation people.
Phil Fontaine, National Chief, Assembly of First Nations stated, &#8220;Indigenous people in Canada have much in common with the people of Israel, including a respect of the land&#8230;” Perhaps Mr. Fontaine and other native leaders are unaware of Israel’s well documented practices of polluting or stealing water from stolen Palestinian land, uprooting, destroying and stealing olive trees, destroying farmland and olive grows in the process of building Israel’s illegal wall on stolen Palestinian land and poisoning Bedouin land in Israel’s Negev. It should be additionally noted that unlike Canada, Israel’s native people (Arabs) do not share the same rights as the country’s Jewish majority. It is astounding and so sad to witness Canada’s own native people accepting to visit Israel, a country that, in addition to stealing and destroying land and resources, treats its own native people so abysmally.
Please contact Nancy Pine, Communications Advisor, Office of the National Chief, (613) 241-6789 ext. 243 or cell (613) 298-6382 to express your disappointment and concern about this trip to Israel. Please call her today and follow up with an official letter. You are also encouraged to express your desire to build a relationship with them in solidarity with natives of a colonized land.

		<description><![CDATA[Press Release: International Solidarity Movement- On January 19th we, a group of concerned Jews, spray painted the infamous Nazi slogan &#8220;Arbeit Macht Frie&#8221; (&#8221;Work Makes You Free&#8221;) on a sign placed by the Israeli occupation authorities at the Kalandia checkpoint that read &#8220;The Hope of Us All&#8221;.
The Sign &#8220;the hope of us all&#8221; and the New Ramallah Terminal were inaugurated on the 20th of Dec 2005. The new terminal is set up so that there is no physical contact between the soldiers and the Palestinians. The soldiers scream commands to the Palestinians over loud speakers as they are made to go through a series of electronic gates and turnstiles. The new Terminal embodies the occupation in its alienated, bureaucratically cruel form. it is situated between one Palestinian area and another and flanked on both sides by the annexation barrier effectively turning Ramallah into a ghetto.
&#8220;Arbeit Meicht Frie&#8221; was written at the entrance of Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps. In spray painting on that sign we did not mean to say that Ramallah is Auschwitz. We did, however, wish to point out that there are many disturbing parallels between the tactics used by the occupation and those used by the Nazis. For example, the attempt to beautify dehumanizing institutions through empty phrases like &#8220;The Hope of Us All&#8221; and &#8220;Arbeit Macht Frie&#8221;. We believe that it is important to heed these disturbing parallels as warning signals in order for another Holocaust never to happen again, to any people. We wrote a paragraph explaining our action ...]]></description>
