Suffering of Palestinian Children Rated Among Highest in the World
Suffering of Palestinian Children Rated Among Highest in the World
Thursday October 28, 2010 12:19
by Mays Al-Azza – IMEMC & Agencies 
The Palestinian news agency Ma’an reported, on Wednesday, that Dr. Hanna Issa, an expert in international law, confirmed that among all the children of the world, Palestinian children are suffering the most.
Their plight began in 1948, and has been ongoing to this day due to Israeli practices against them. Thousands of children were displaced and became homeless without committing any sin or fault, Issa said.
He added that Israeli occupation has also harmed all Palestinians over the course of several decades and up to the present time; and has violated their rights and has led to the deaths of tens of thousands of women, men, and children.
Dr. Issa pointed out that Palestinian children were the victims of the Israeli army during the al-Aqsa Intifada, when more than 1,000 children under the age of 18 were killed and more than ten thousand were wounded and thousands more were left to suffer psychological trauma as a result of the impact of horrific scenes witnessed every day.
More than 3,000 children have been kidnapped by the Israeli army; many of them are still detained in Israeli prisons and detention centers where they face abuse and bad living conditions that deprive them of basic human rights.
Israeli violations against Palestinian children affect the rights of children to receive an education and the right to receive proper mental and physical health services.
These continuous violations indicate that no country that is a signatory of the human rights convention and treaties, has taken any action to prevent the abuser country from violating these basic human rights.
Dr. Issa demanded that the international community exert pressure on the Israeli government to abide by the international law to protect the internationally guaranteed rights of Palestinian children.

40,000 students turned away from UNRWA schools due to Gaza closure
40,000 students turned away from UNRWA schools due to Gaza closure
15 September 2010
UNRWA can’t meet enrolment demand because of ban on construction materials- UNRWA needs to build 100 schools, none built since 2007 closure
- UNRWA schools have specialised curriculum on human rights and critical thinking, not available in government schools
Notebooks and pens are in, construction materials are out
Despite Israel’s promise to ease the closure of the Gaza Strip, the Gaza school year opened this week with a severe shortage of classrooms. While for the first time in three years Israel has allowed the import of school supplies for government schools in Gaza, the almost absolute ban on the import of construction materials has left students with lots of pens and notebooks but without classrooms.
Human rights studies – not for all
UNRWA needs 100 new schools to meet the enrolment demands of the children of Gaza. But despite the “easing” of the closure, building materials for the construction of schools have not been approved to enter Gaza since 2007. Therefore, UNRWA has had to turn away 40,000 children eligible to enrol in its schools for the academic year that began yesterday. Students at UNRWA schools study a specialised curriculum in human rights and critical thinking, not available in government schools. Furthermore, according to UNRWA records, students in its schools score 20 per cent higher than government school students on international aptitude tests.
Students being turned away from UNRWA schools is only one consequence of the classroom shortage in the Gaza Strip. To deal with the shortage of classroom space, students in most of Gaza’s schools study in two shifts, in classrooms with up to 50 students, and sometimes oversized metal containers are used as classrooms, with three children seated at desks designed for two.
Onerous bureaucracy, limited capacity of crossings
Construction of a standard school requires an estimated 220 truckloads of building materials, or 22,000 truckloads for 100 schools. The only crossing Israel allows to open, Kerem Shalom, can accommodate just 250 truckloads per day, mostly for food and basic humanitarian supplies. Despite promises, Israel has yet to approve a single truckload of construction materials for UNRWA’s schools and has agreed to “negotiate” coordinating materials for just 8 out of the 100 needed schools. Since the “easing” of the closure, Israel has allowed just 240 truckloads of construction materials monthly for all uses, compared with more than 5,000 trucks monthly before the closure (4 per cent of pre-closure levels).
According to UNRWA’s Gaza Director John Ging: “The right to education is a basic right of children everywhere. For the children of Gaza, realisation of that right depends on the continued construction of schools, because all of the temporary measures and substitutes have already been exhausted.”

“Zionism and Peace are Incompatible” – Alan Hart
“Zionism and Peace are Incompatible” – Alan Hart
By Alan Hart
Israeli Schoolchildren Encouraged to Write on MunitionsAt last somebody has said it in the most explicit way possible. The somebody also said: “The problem is Zionism and the solution is dismantling the Zionist framework and instituting a secular democracy that does not discriminate between Israelis and Palestinians.”
The somebody was Miko Peled, a Jewish peace activist who was born in Israel and lives in America.
He is the son of an Israeli war hero, Matti Peled, who was a young officer in the war of 1948 and a general in the war of 1967. After that war, General Peled signalled his own commitment to truth by rubbishing Zionism’s version of events. He did so with the statement that there was not a threat to Israel’s existence and that it was a war of Israeli choice (i.e. aggression not self-defense). General Peled was also one of a number of prominent Jews who called soon after the 1967 war for the immediate establishment of a Palestinian state on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
In his latest article (http://mikopeled.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/liberal-zionism/) from which my headline for this piece was extracted, Miko says that the two-state solution was clearly viable 40 years ago, but today…? He writes (my emphasis added):
“Now the West Bank is riddled with towns and malls and highways built on Palestinian land for Jews only and Israeli cabinet members openly discuss population transfers, or rather transfer of its non-Jewish population. The level of oppression and the intensity of the violence against Palestinians has reached new heights… Discussing the two-state solution now under these conditions shows an acute inability to accept reality… There is an illusion that a liberal, forward thinking government can rise in Israel and then everything will be just as liberal Zionists wish it to be. They will pick up where Rabin and Arafat left off and we will have the pie in sky Jewish democracy liberal Jews want so much to see in Israel. This illusion is shared by American Jews, liberal Zionists in Israel and around the world and in the West where guilt of two millennia of persecuting Jews still haunts the conscience of many. If only there were better leaders and if only this and if only that… But alas, reality continues to slap everyone in the face: Zionism and peace are incompatible. I will say it again, Zionism and peace are incompatible.”
Miko adds that serious study of the history of modern Israel shows that “the emergence of Netanyahu and Lieberman was perfectly predictable.”
I agree and offer this summary explanation of why.
Zionism is not only Jewish nationalism which created a state in the Arab heartland mainly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. It is also a pathological mindset. In the deluded Zionist mind the world was always anti-Jew and always will be. It follows that Holocaust II (shorthand for another great turning against Jews) is inevitable. It follows that there can be no limits to what Zionism will do in order to preserve nuclear-armed Greater Israel as a refuge of last resort for all Jews everywhere when the world turns against them.
When I was reflecting on Miko’s main point, that Zionism and peace are incompatible, I found myself wondering why really it is that American presidents will not use the leverage they have to try to call the Zionist state to account for its crimes when doing so would clearly be in America’s own best interests.
I’m beginning to think that the awesome influence of the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress is not the complete answer. And the question I am asking myself is this: Could it be that all American presidents know there is nothing nuclear-armed Israeli leaders would not do if they were seriously pressed to make peace on terms which they believed in their own deluded minds would put Israel’s security at risk? Always in my own mind is what Prime Minister Golda Meir said to me in a BBC Panorama interview and from which I quote in my book – in a doomsday situation Israel “would be prepared to take the region and the whole world down with it.”
If it is the case that American presidents are frightened of provoking Israel, the conclusion would have to be that the Zionist state is a monster beyond control and that all efforts for peace are doomed to failure.
Is the situation really as bad as that?
My own answer is yes. But there are some observers who think that after the mid-term elections in America there might be one more opportunity for President Obama to bring enough Israelis to their senses in order to give peace its very last chance.
This new hope has been inspired, apparently, by reports of a forthcoming Palestinian (and presumably wider Arab) initiative to have the Security Council recognize Palestinian independence within the 1967 borders.
In Ha’aretz on 20 October, Aluf Benn wrote this:
“Israel’s diplomacy has reached a turning point. Instead of dealing with the failed direct talks, from this point Israel will be orchestrating a diplomatic holding action against the Palestinian initiative to have the UN Security Council recognize Palestinian independence within the 1967 borders. Such a decision would deem Israel an invader and occupier, paving the way for measures against Israel. Obama could scuttle the process by casting an American veto. Would he do it? And at what price?
“Barak is warning Netanyahu that Obama is determined to establish a Palestinian state, even if it requires political risks. The president doesn’t have to come out publicly against Israel, but can simply stand on the sidelines when the Security Council recognizes Palestine. The international movement to boycott Israel will gain massive encouragement when Europe, China and India turn their backs on Israel and erode the last remnants of its legitimacy. Gradually the Israeli public will also feel the diplomatic and economic stranglehold.
“It’s not certain that this will happen.”
We shall see.

Gaza children suffer in wake of conflict
Jamilla, 15, was on a rooftop when a shell struck during the Israeli operation in Gaza. Her 10-year-old sister and cousin were killed. Jamilla lost both her legs and is learning to walk again with the help of crutches and prosthetic limbs.
The Ghaben family’s two story home was destroyed during the bombing, which began in December 2008. All 14 of them now live in three tents in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza City.
Shayma, 13, walks to school from the tent she lives in, in Gaza City. She says she finds it hard to study now. “I used to have a room only for me, I had pictures of Barbie all over my room. Now I’m sleeping with all my sisters and brothers,” she says.
Children play in the ruins in Jabaliya, Gaza city. Virtually all building materials are blocked from entering Gaza under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade, so reconstruction is stalled. Israel says Gaza’s Hamas rulers could use cement for military purposes.
Mother of six Sa’da was nine months pregnant when she fled her home as the Israeli operation began. Her Daughter Haijar was born in a freezing shelter, where she spent her first 18 days. The family still have not been able to replace their broken windows.
A boy sorts rubbish, gleaning what he can to sell as scrap. Thousands of livelihoods have been lost under the blockade and because of conflict damage. Israel says it has been targeting Hamas, which fires rockets at its southern towns, not civilians.
Mothers and babies at the Ard el-Ensan clinic for malnourished children. It is supported by Save the Children, which says malnutrition and anaemia have increased under the blockade.
Doha, Olfat’s nine-month-old baby is suffering from malnutrition and anaemia. She is half the weight a child her age should be. “We don’t have enough money to feed her,” says Olfat.

The story of the youngest and the most dangerous prisoners in the world!!!
Within the walls of the prison. Opened his eyes to the prison bars of each side, and broke his ears the cries of the soldiers. That the child captive Fatima Yusuf Ibn Azzak, which was inside a prison by the Israeli occupation, to become the youngest prisoner in the world and challenge its infancy steps for the walls of the prison.
Dream to see the light after dark, it may be too young to understand the meanings of this large, but will grow with a sense of his body Msthara those difficult days. Captured Yousef and his mother are part of the family of Abu Mahmoud, supplemented by eight children, who did not learn about the Yusuf only through photographs. From here begins the tragedy, does not end …
Yusuf was born inside a prison for women, in the bosom of his mother captive. Taken as the true nature of his nickname. Srkhath fumbled the first and second in the walls of the cell. Not only a matter of patience, and perhaps some of the vanity, because he is the youngest prisoner in Palestine, mostly in the world, so it might be the smell of his mother missed the smells of the many injustices that sniffing since the first day of the coming to life.
Mohamed Azzak «Mahmoud Abu», captive Fatima’s husband (and mother of Joseph), had not seen his son since his birth Joseph 17 months ago because of the occupation authorities who prevent prisoners in the Gaza Strip of their right to visit their children in the prisons. He says much of the pain and bitterness: «I have spoken of the long-Yousef, describing each of the met me, but I see that only through the pictures I am receiving from inside the prison at intervals, through the International Committee of the Red Cross».
This story, call Abu Mahmoud «torment trip», those that changed the course of his life and the life of a part of his family, having become part of supplementing captive. Mahmoud Abu-start the narrative of the story of the suffering of this: «took my wife’s sister’s daughter (kindergarten Habib) to treatment in an Israeli hospital, and incurred the mother of the girl child to kindergarten for the necessary permits, and asked my wife Fatima accompanied on a trip to the treatment which will not exceed two weeks at the latest. The day of travel on the twentieth of May 2007, Mahmoud and left or returned home after their children and not to prolong their absence .. Long such care …».
Mahmoud Abu silent a moment before completing his speech: «no longer a day, the Atqlthn occupation forces as soon as the access to the crossing of Beit Hanoun” Erez “separation between the Gaza Strip and the occupied territories in 48, and then Nqlthn Israeli Hasharon prison after a long and continuous insults and harsh treatment ».
Fatima (42 years) of captive or prisoner, believed to be the simple, which will probably be a mere suspicion and confusion in names, and that the issue would not exceed a few days and will inevitably lead to her and her husband, allowing her and her sister, a kindergarten follow-up medical trip.
But it is long, and forgot her sister’s daughter, Fatima, after the biggest pain is experienced within the prison. Were found on the effect of transfer to the prison hospital within the embryo is composed. Her stomach was bigger, little by little to find it in its Mwnsa to occupy it and perhaps forget the suffering, which began do not know when it will end?.
Abu Mahmoud said this cruel experiment: «I was surprised to get the news of my wife, because they amounted to forty-Jaozatha little. But it was my biggest surprise was from, how Stanml suffering of pregnancy within the prison lacks the most basic necessities of life and care? I thought at the beginning of the matter is that the carrier by the occupation authorities had taken into account, and become self-security that will be released, but the opposite is what happened. The bearing and a means of exerting more pressure on the physical and psychological. And anxiety, when we turned the details of the birth of captive Samar Sabih that preceded the development of the baby, which was forced to give birth in difficult circumstances and to prevent her husband from the floor ».
On January 18 of 2008, broke into the pains of childbirth captive Fatima, and moved to the prison hospital «Mayer» Israel in a human, and without taking into account the status and condition of health. And exercised the occupation forces of various types of psychological and physical pressure even on the way to the hospital, to the extent that it did not envisage restrictions, however, the moment of birth the pretext of security, and returned to prison with her newborn on the same day.
Abu Mahmoud says: «I miss my son to not see him once. I did not hear Mnagath only a few times over the phone, ». His eyes are in the place to be searching for something missing, and thus complement Speaking: «it is now certainly have to learn the pronunciation of some words, but I did not hear the Pope say never». And sorrow filled tone asked: «Do you already know that a father and his brothers who is waiting impatiently. We have derived a lot to him and his mother ».

And sorrow filled tone asked: «Do you already know that a father and his brothers who is waiting impatiently. We have derived a lot to him and his mother ».
Abu Mahmoud and follow all the news a passion for the exchange of prisoners that are being discussed between the Palestinian factions and the state of occupation, and says: «I hope to agree on a deal soon or to see Mahmoud side I Ohoudani to Yusuf, and thus end the suffering of the years God knows how Otabtni changed my life, and I am waiting for a moment of joy and meet ».
The prisoners «Hadarim», adjacent to the prison «Hasharon» of prisoners, has won a case against the Department of the Israeli Prison Service, to allow them to enter the Games-to-child Azzak Joseph, after months of management to allow the introduction of the prevention of any games or the requirements of it.
Yusuf detainee from the moment of birth, perhaps on charges of innocence. This was barely felt little need for his mother and his inability to distance until the decision was made: You must provide your first next to your mother, in the detention center to prevent the most basic humanitarian needs containing. You searched for the light within the cell do not know the way to the sun, and learn in your first warden cruelty. And Kmatql, you have to train soft bones from the outset on the meaning of cold in winter, long nights, and heat in the cell in the hot summer days.
This child is the youngest prisoner in the jails of the occupation of the approximately 400 children under the age of the eighth session, held by the Israeli occupying forces in prisons, in conditions very difficult and complex, and incompatible with the norms of international law and human rights instruments and principles. Despite these qualities, Israel remains in the eyes of the world’s most democratic countries in the Middle East.

You ARE a part of this …SO you would like to hear what has been HIDDEN ?? !
You ARE a part of this …SO you would like to hear what has been HIDDEN ?? !
This is not a spam. We are sending this message specifically to you, and it deserves few minutes of your time. Then you may initiate your judgement.
Everyday we, people around the world, watch the news, watch and hear about the same events in the world, yet some of us approve and others condemn what has happened. Because some of us are not receiving the whole truth and are, sometimes, misled by the media. Otherwise we would have had the same feelings toward emerging crises in the world, since we all go back to one unambiguous entity, Humanity.
Civilians Targeted In Gaza:
On January 5th, dark clouds, formed by a huge explosion, covered the neighborhood of Zeitoun. The smoke was rising from a house where Israeli forces had ordered more than (110) civilian Gazans to go into, just few hours before it launched two tank shells at the house without warning, killing more than 30 and leaving more than 20 injured under the rubble for more than 4 days.
One of the most compelling accounts of the massacre comes from Maysa Samouni.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/10/gaza-zeitoun-attack-deaths
Alarming Statistics:
Yes, the killings of Zeitoun neighborhood took place in this century, during the assault. It is a miniature for the tragedy. Reporters say several incidences like this took place in different parts of Gaza strip. That, with continuous artillery and fighter jet bombardments on a 24-hour basis and for 22 days, have killed more than (1325) Palestinians, more than (1100) were civilians, half were women (110) and children (446). The assault left around (5400) Palestinians injured, almost (2500) with serious injuries. (4) hospitals and (17) medical centers were bombed, (21) medical workers were killed and (30) more injured.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/a-shameful-war-is…
Even UN Installations Were Targeted:
Even those who tried to find a shelter to protect their children didn’t succeed, since at least (43) Palestinians were killed in a UN school in Jabalia, although the UN had given Israel the co-ordinates of all its installations in Gaza to prevent any such attack. It was one of the many times UN buildings were hit in one week.
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, as he stood in front of a UN warehouse set on fire by Israeli shells, described the devastation of Gaza as “heartbreaking”. “This is shocking and alarming. I am deeply grieved by what I have seen today.” he said.
Gaza as a Weapon- laboratory:
In this tortured land, where men, women and children are crushed by the wargames of the Israeli racism, new arms are tested.
Doctors who’ve been in Gaza during the war said, that they had seen a number of very brutal amputations without shrapnel injuries which strongly suggest the use of DIME (dense inert metal explosive).
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jan/16/gaza-norwegian-doctors
Another transgression of the international law by Israel was the use of white phosphorus (WP) .When any part of the body is exposed to white phosphorus, the skin and the flesh become completely burnt, leaving only the bone.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/16/phosphorus-bombs-video-israe…
Israel denied using WP, but Mr Garlasco, a senior military analyst at human rights watch (HRW)said: “I can see them; we are very certain, whatever the Israeli Forces may say, that white phosphorus is being used”
http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0114/p07s01-wome.html
We Have Responsibilities
We may ask the question of Fintan O’Toole, The Irish Times’ resident philosopher-in-chief; “When does the mandate of victimhood expire?” he asked. “At what point does the Nazi genocide of Europe’s Jews cease to excuse the state of Israel from the demands of international law and of common humanity?”
Robert Fisk asks in the Independent, 17 \1\ 2009; “How do Holocaust survivors in Israel feel about being called Nazis? How can anyone compare the Israeli army to the Wehrmacht?”
The war on Gaza shouldn’t be mistaken for an Israeli defense attempt. Rather, Israel’s failure to make peace, and its inevitable resort to bloodshed, demonstrate again that it can’t permit a future built on Palestinian self-determination. The ongoing Israeli siege on Gaza shows that Israel would rather be a jailer than a neighbor, because its intransigent leadership forestalls Palestinian destiny and will not make peace with history.

Will the world do nothing while the Zionist Israel exterminates the Palestinians in Gaza?
http://www.elfarra.org/gallery/gaza.htm
Free world can put pressure on Israel through collective diplomatic efforts, the UN to send patrols and support organizations to help keep Palestinian women and children safe, and work to ensure that criminals are brought to trial.We need YOU to raise awareness about the continuing catastrophe in Gaza, because you, I, and every human being on earth are meant to establish and promote justice,a right which the Palestinians have never received.
A father or a mother whose child died because of lack of proper medical care does not forget.
A boy or girl whose family members were murdered does not forget.
All those who endure humiliation, abuse and disabling injuries do not forget.
We shall NOT forget..and we shall do everything in our hand to help them..
How about you?

Our sons are plundered of their organs
“Our sons are plundered of their organs”
Palestinians accuse the Israel Defense Forces of taking organs from their victims.
Donald Boström writes about an international organ trafficking scandal – and about the time he saw the cut-up dead body of a nineteen-year old Palestinian.
You could call me a ”matchmaker”, said Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, from Brooklyn, USA, in a secret recording with an FBI-agent whom he believed to be a client. Ten days later, at the end of July this year, Rosenbaum was arrested and a vast, Sopranos-like, imbroglio of money-laundering and illegal organ-trade was revealed in New Jersey: Rabbis, politicians and trusted civil servants had for years bin involved in money laundering and illegal organ-trade.
Rosenbaum’s matchmaking had nothing to do with romance. It was all about buying and selling kidneys from Israel on the black market. Rosenbaum says that he buys the kidneys for 10 000 dollars, from poor people. He then proceeds to sell the organs to desperate patients in the States for 160 000 dollars.
The accusations have shaken the American transplantation business. If they are true it means that organ trafficking is documented for the first time in the US, experts tell the New Jersey Real-Time News.
On the question of how many organs he has sold Rosenbaum replies: ”Quite a lot. And I have never failed,” he boasts. The business has been running for quite some time.
Francis Delmonici, professor of transplant surgery at Harvard and member of the National Kidney Foundation’s Board of Directors, tells the same newspaper that organ-trafficking, similar to the one reported from Israel, is carried out in other places of the world as well. 5 – 6 000 operations a year, about ten per cent of the world’s kidney transplants are carried out illegally, according to Delmonici.
Countries suspected of these activities are Pakistan, the Philippines and China, where the organs are allegedly taken from executed prisoners. But Palestinians also harbor strong suspicions that young men have been siezed, and made to serve as organ reserve, just as in China and Pakistan, before being killed – a very serious accusation, with enough question marks to motivate the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to start an investigation about possible war crimes.
Israel has repeatedly been under fire for its unethical ways of dealing with organs and transplants. France was among the countries that ceased organ collaboration with Israel in the nineties. Jerusalem Post wrote that ”the rest of the European countries are expected to follow France’s example shortly.”
Half of the kidneys transplanted to Israelis since the beginning of the 2000s have been bought illegally from Turkey, Eastern Europe or Latin America. Israeli health authorities have full knowledge of this business but do nothing to stop it. At a conference in 2003 it was shown that Israel is the only western country with a medical profession that doesn’t condemn the illegal organ trade. The country takes no legal measures against doctors participating in the illegal business – on the contrary, chief medical officers of Israel’s big hospitals are involved in most of the illegal transplants, according to Dagens Nyheter (December 5, -03).
In the summer of 1992, Ehud Olmert, then minister of health, tried to address the issue of organ shortage by launching a big campaign aimed at having the Israeli public register for postmortal organ donation. Half a million pamphlets were spread in local newspapers. Ehud Olmert himself was the first person to sign up.
A couple of weeks later the Jerusalem Post reported that the campaign was a success. No fewer than 35 000 people had signed up. Prior to the campaign it would have been 500 in a normal month. In the same article, however, Judy Siegel, the reporter, wrote that the gap between supply and demand was still large. 500 people were in line for kidney transplant, but only 124 transplants could be performed. Of 45 people in need of a new liver only three could be operated on in Israel.
While the campaign was running, young Palestinian men started to disappear from villages in the West Bank and Gaza. After five days Israeli soldiers would bring them back dead, with their bodies ripped open.
Talk of the bodies terrified the population of the occupied territories. There were rumors of a dramatic increase of young men disappearing, with ensuing nightly funerals of autopsied bodies.
I was in the area at the time, working on a book. On several occasions I was approached by UN staff concerned about the developments. The persons contacting me said that organ theft definitely occurred but that they were prevented from doing anything about it. On an assignment from a broadcasting network I then travelled around interviewing a great number of Palestininan families in the West Bank and Gaza – meeting parents who told of how their sons had been deprived of organs before being killed. One example that I encountered on this eerie trip was the young stone-thrower Bilal Achmed Ghanan.
It was close to midnight when the motor roar from an Israeli military column sounded from the outskirts of Imatin, a small village in the northern parts of the West Bank. The two thousand inhabitants were awake. They were still, waiting, like silent shadows in the dark, some lying upon roofs, others hiding behind curtains, walls, or trees that provided protection during the curfew but still offered a full view toward what would become the grave for the first martyr of the village. The military had interrupted the electricity and the area was now a closed-off military zone – not even a cat could move outdoors without risking its life. The overpowering silence of the dark night was only interrupted by quiet sobbing. I don’t remember if our shivering was due to the cold or to the tension. Five days earlier, on May 13, 1992, an Israeli special force had used the village’s carpentry workshop for an ambush. The person they were assigned to put out of action was Bilal Achmed Ghanan, one of the stone-throwing Palestinian youngsters who made life difficult for the Israeli soldiers.
As one of the leading stone-throwers Bilal Ghanan had been wanted by the military for a couple of years. Together with other stone-throwing boys he hid in the Nablus mountains, with no roof over his head. Getting caught meant torture and death for these boys – they had to stay in the mountains at all costs.
On May 13 Bilal made an exception, when for some reason, he walked unprotected by the carpentry workshop. Not even Talal, his older brother, knows why he took this risk. Maybe the boys were out of food and needed to restock.
Everything went according to plan for the Israeli special force. The soldiers stubbed their cigarettes, put away their cans of Coca-Cola, and calmly aimed through the broken window. When Bilal was close enough they needed only to pull the triggers. The first shot hit him in the chest. According to villagers who witnessed the incident he was subsequently shot with one bullet in each leg. Two soldiers then ran down from the carpentry workshop and shot Bilal once in the stomach. Finally, they grabbed him by his feet and dragged him up the twenty stone steps of the workshop stair. Villagers say that people from both the UN and the Red Crescent were close by, heard the discharge and came to look for wounded people in need of care. Some arguing took place as to who should take care of the victim. Discussions ended with Israeli soldiers loading the badly wounded Bilal in a jeep and driving him to the outskirts of the village, where a military helicopter waited. The boy was flown to a destination unknown to his family. Five days later he came back, dead and wrapped in green hospital fabric.
A villager recognized Captain Yahya, the leader of the military column who had transported Bilal from the postmortem center Abu Kabir, outside of Tel Aviv, to the place for his final rest. ”Captain Yahya is the worst of them all,” the villager whispered in my ear. After Yahya had unloaded the body and changed the green fabric for a light cotton one, some male relatives of the victim were chosen by the soldiers to do the job of digging and mixing cement.
Together with the sharp noises from the shovels we could hear laughter from the soldiers who, as they waited to go home, exchanged some jokes. As Bilal was put in the grave his chest was uncovered. Suddenly it became clear to the few people present just what kind of abuse the boy had been exposed to. Bilal was not by far the first young Palestinian to be buried with a slit from his abdomen up to his chin.
The families in the West Bank and in Gaza felt that they knew exactly what had happened: ”Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,” relatives of Khaled from Nablus told me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin and the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who had all disappeared for a number of days only to return at night, dead and autopsied.
– Why are they keeping the bodies for up to five days before they let us bury them? What happened to the bodies during that time? Why are they performing autopsy, against our will, when the cause of death is obvious? Why are the bodies returned at night? Why is it done with a military escort? Why is the area closed off during the funeral? Why is the electricity interrupted? Nafe’s uncle was upset and he had a lot of questions.
The relatives of the dead Palestinians no longer harbored any doubts as to the reasons for the killings, but the spokesperson for the Israeli army claimed that the allegations of organ theft were lies. All the Palestinian victims go through autopsy on a routine basis, he said. Bilal Achmed Ghanem was one of 133 Palestinians killed in various ways that year. According to the Palestinian statistics the causes of death were: shot in the street, explosion, tear gas, deliberately run over, hanged in prison, shot in school, killed at home etcetera. The 133 people killed were between four months to 88 years old. Only half of them, 69 victims, went through postmortem examination. The routine autopsy of killed Palestinians – of which the army spokesperson was talking – has no bearing on the reality in the occupied territories. The questions remain.
We know that Israel has a great need for organs, that there is a vast and illegal trade of organs which has been running for many years now, that the authorities are aware of it and that doctors in managing positions at the big hospitals participate, as well as civil servants at various levels. We also know that young Palestinian men disappeared, that they were brought back after five days, at night, under tremendous secrecy, stitched back together after having been cut from abdomen to chin.
It’s time to bring clarity to this macabre business, to shed light on what is going on and what has taken place in the territories occupied by Israel since the Intifada began.

<!– brief

By Bouthaina Shaaban
The investigative report written by Swedish journalist Donald Boström and published in Sweden’s largest newspaper Aftonbladet about Israeli occupation forces killing Palestinians with the objective of stealing their organs has raised a political and media storm in Israel, disclosing up a horrible crime perpetrated for years under the full gaze of the ‘free’ world. These criminal acts began in 1992 when Palestinians started to witness a sharp rise in the number of young Palestinians disappearing and of bodies of Palestinians killed by occupation forces being returned with organs such as hearts, kidneys, livers and eyes missing.
“I was in the area at the time, working on a book”, Boström writes. “On several occasions I was approached by UN staff concerned about the developments. The persons contacting me said that organ theft definitely occurred but that they were prevented from doing anything about it…. I travelled around interviewing a great number of Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza – meeting parents who told of how their sons had been deprived of organs before being killed. One example that I encountered on this eerie trip was the young stone-thrower Bilal Ahmed Ghanam”.
Bilal, 19, was one of 133 Palestinians killed in various ways that year; 69 of them went through postmortem examination. Boström describes in detail how Israeli occupation soldiers targeted Bilal, a leader of the stone-throwing children, at midnight on May 13, 1992, shot him first in the chest and he was subsequently shot with one bullet in each leg. Two soldiers then shot Bilal in the stomach. Finally, they grabbed him by his feet, dragged him, then loaded him in a jeep and drove him to the outskirts of the village, where a military helicopter waited. He was flown to an unknown destination. Five days later he came back, dead and wrapped in green hospital fabric. It was clear that Bilal’s body was slit from his abdomen up to his chin. The families and relatives of Khaled from Nablus, the mother of Raed from Jenin and the uncles of Mahmood and Nafez from Gaza, all talked to Boström about their children who had all disappeared for a number of days only to return at night, dead and autopsied.
Investigations in New Jersey, have proved that Rabbi Levy-Izhak (Isaac Rosenbaum) from Brooklyn and other rabbis have run for years networks to sell the kidneys of Palestinian martyrs in the U.S. black market. Patients in the United States paid up to U.S.$ 160,000 per kidney. In 2003, a medical conference showed that Israel is the only country in the world in which the medical profession does not condemn stealing human organs and does not act against those involved in such a crime. On the contrary, and as was revealed by a Dagens Nyheter report on December 5, 2003 and the Aftonbladet report of August 17, 2009, prominent doctors in major Israeli hospitals steal and transplant organs routinely. When asked about the number of bodies sold by rabbi Rosenbaum, he answers proudly, “we are talking about a very large number,” and that his company has worked in this field “for a long period of time”.
Francis Delmonici, professor of transplant surgery at Harvard University confirms that organ trafficking is widespread in Israel and believes that there is sufficient evidence to ask the International Criminal Court to investigate Israeli crimes. Israeli media have turned the results shown by Aftonbladet’s investigative report into a diplomatic crisis between Sweden and Israel instead of demanding an end to this atrocious crime and bringing those corrupt criminals to justice.
Headlines highlighted that the Swedish prime minister refused to apologize and that Donald Boström refused to withdraw the report despite the fact that he received death threats. What should the Swedish prime minister apologize for? Israel, not Sweden, is accused of killing young people, stealing and trafficking in their organs; and it is Israel which should be put on trial. They behaved in the same way with Mary Robinson and others who defended the rights of the Palestinians. They raised a media storm about president Obama awarding her the Medal of Freedom because she took a courageous stand in support of justice in Palestine. They behaved in the same way towards the author of this article because she wrote a column in Assharq al-Awsat newspaper in which she lauded Robinson’s courage in defense of human rights.
The Jerusalem Post published an article against me on August 17, 2009 which is full of incitement and accusations which aim at creating negative preconceived ideas about the author. The question here is why the Jerusalem Post article ignored mentioning the Swedish foreign minister Anna Maria Lindh who I mentioned along with Mary Robinson in my article, and who also took honourable stances in support of justice in Palestine, was arrested several times by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank and was then assassinated in ambiguous circumstances.
This means that official circles in Israel divert attention from an atrocious crime committed against unarmed civilian Palestinians for over sixty years to a mere article which causes a diplomatic standoff. The same circles instruct the Jerusalem Post to attack my article which calls for honoring honest leaders of the world, like Mary Robinson, for defending justice. Has the world read about how Israel interrogates Palestinian women prisoners after stripping them naked in order to humiliate them? Is writing about them and defending their dignity a form of anti-Semitism and hostility towards Israel and the United States? And why do Israeli media implicate the United States in such crimes?
Despite the ferocious official Israeli campaign to silent free and honest individuals, the circle of those who believe in justice and freedom is getting wider. These are not only politicians, academics and journalists who are targeted by Israeli death or defamation squads who assassinate or muzzle them; they are the vanguard of a global movement to liberate the Palestinian people from this ugly barbarianism. The great thing is that they come from all religions and nationalities; and they will be remembered by history as the first to dare carry the torch of supporting freedom and justice for Palestinians. And surely, no one will remember those who fabricate charges and wage cheap propaganda against human beings, human rights, human dignity and freedom.

U.S. Military Aid and the Israel/Palestine Conflict
U.S. Military Aid and the Israel/Palestine Conflict
The U.S. is providing Israel with at least $7.0 million each day* in military aid and is giving the Palestinians $0** in military aid during Fiscal Year 2009.
|
Daily U.S. Military Aid to Israel |
 |
“Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America’s entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”
- John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt
“The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy”
* The source for US military aid to Israel during Fiscal Year 2009 is the Congressional Research Service’s “U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel,” written by Jeremy M. Sharp, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs, updated February 3, 2009. According to this report, by early February 2009, the US had already given Israel at least $2.55 billion ($2,500,000,000) in military aid for Fiscal Year 2009.
Over the last 20 years, the U.S. has been slowly phasing out economic aid to Israel and gradually replacing it with increased military aid. Beginning in 2007, the U.S. has been increasing military aid by $150 million each year. By FY2013, we will be sending Israel $3.15 billion a year (or an average of $8.6 million a day) and will continue to provide military aid at that level through 2018. U.S. tax dollars are subsidizing one of the most powerful foreign militaries. According to the CRS report, “[current U.S. military aid] grants to Israel represent 18.5% of the overall Israeli defense budget.”
Contrary to ordinary U.S. policy, Israel has been and continues to be allowed to use over 26% of this military aid to purchase equipment from Israeli manufacturers. According to CRS, “no other recipient of U.S. military assistance has been granted this benefit.” Thanks in part to this indirect U.S. subsidy, Israel’s arms industry has become one of the strongest in the world. “In 2007, it was the 8th largest arms supplier to the developing world.”
In addition to military aid, the United States continues to provide Israel with additional aid and benefits. The numbers are not yet available for FY2009, but are likely to be significant.
By all accounts the United States has given more money to Israel than to any other country. The Congressional Research Service’s conservative estimate of total cumulative US aid to Israel (not adjusted for inflation) from 1949 through 2009 is $106.1647 billion.
A November 2008 Washington Report article “A Conservative Estimate of Total Direct U.S. Aid to Israel: $114 Billion,” by Shirl McArthur, puts the cumulative total even higher.
According to McArthur, “[T]he indirect or consequential costs to the American taxpayer as a result of Washington’s blind support for Israel exceed by many times the amount of direct U.S. aid to Israel. Some of these ‘indirect or consequential’ costs would include the costs to U.S. manufacturers of the Arab boycott, the costs to U.S. companies and consumers of the Arab oil embargo and consequent soaring oil prices as a result of U.S. support for Israel in the 1973 war, and the costs of U.S. unilateral economic sanctions on Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria. (For a discussion of these larger costs, see ‘The Costs to American Taxpayers of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: $3 Trillion,’ by the late Thomas R. Stauffer, June 2003 Washington Report, p. 20.)”
** The source for US aid to the Palestinians during Fiscal Year 2009 is the Congressional Research Service’s Report “U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians”, written by Jim Zanotti, Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs, updated February 20, 2009. According to the report the U.S. has never provided Palestinians with military aid (although we have provided Palestinians with aid for policing their own people as well as with humanitarian and development assistance).
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided the Palestinian people with some indirect economic assistance through funds distributed to U.S.-based NGOs operating in the West Bank and Gaza. According to the CRS report, “Funds are allocated in this program for projects in sectors such as humanitarian assistance, economic development, democratic reform, improving water access and other infrastructure, health care, education, and vocational training. The program is subject to a vetting process and to yearly audits…”
In addition, some funding has occasionally been provided directly to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority (PA) in an attempt to strengthen it against competing political parties (particularly Hamas) and for use in policing the Palestinian people. Such funds are usually only authorized once Congress has received proof that they will be used for “non-lethal assistance.”
The United States also provides funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), “which provides food, shelter, medical care, and education for many of the original refugees from the 1947-1949 Arab-Israeli war and their families—now comprising approximately 4.6 million Palestinians in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza.” (Learn more about Palestinian refugees.)
$225 million have been appropriated for economic aid to the Palestinians and $75 million for support of PA police training, etc. for FY2009. The U.S. also provided just over $61.5 million (as of February 13, 2009) in emergency humanitarian aid through USAID, UNRWA, and the International Committee of the Red Cross following Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Suffering in numbers
As Israel’s siege of Gaza bites deeper, ever more Palestinians languish in sickness or poverty, writes Saleh Al-Naami
Prayer time and afternoon naps excepted, Mohamed Saleh and Hassan Barak spend most of their day together conversing at the crossroads separating their homes in the southern quarter of Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp in central Gaza. Saleh and Barak, who both work in construction, have been unemployed since Hamas took exclusive control of the Gaza Strip. Since then, Israel has tightened its stifling siege of the Strip and prohibited the entrance of materials used in construction, putting the entire sector out of work. The housing project begun with European and Arab funding in the suburbs of the Tel Sultan neighbourhood south of Rafah has ground to a halt, as have the infrastructure projects of local councils across the Strip.
Industrial activity in Gaza has practically halted as well. According to statistics of the Palestinian Businessmen’s Association, 3,190 factories in the Strip have closed because of the inability to import raw materials. This has rendered 56,000 workers unemployed. Further aggravating the situation, Israel has barred Palestinian farmers from exporting their agricultural crops through commercial crossings along the border separating the Strip from Israel, crashing prices and the internal market for producers.
Maher Al-Tabaa, director of public relations in the Gaza Chamber of Commerce, notes that due to the siege imposed on the Strip, merchants are losing $5 million a day, a sum that when distributed across the Strip affects the life and bare survival of thousands of families. Al-Tabaa warns that the price of consumer goods will rise significantly due to the closure of Gaza’s commercial crossings.
The siege situation has, naturally, greatly exacerbated poverty overall in the Strip. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2006 57 per cent of Palestinian families had a monthly income below the national poverty line, while 44 per cent of that number was classified as being in extreme poverty. Adnan Abu Hasna, spokesperson of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), told Al-Ahram Weekly that the number of those dependent on UN aid in the Strip amounts to 782,000. He noted that this number is expected to increase soon: “In the space of a few weeks, people will depend entirely on external aid if the situation remains as it is.”
In addition, the siege has led to a catastrophic deterioration in health conditions. According to statistics of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, more than 150 types of medicines have run out in hospitals and health clinics. Most of them are essential to treating patients with chronic diseases. The centre notes that 20 kinds of medicines have run out in all of Gaza’s private pharmacies, seriously impacting the health status of thousands. Two weeks ago, hundreds of dialysis patients sent a heart-wrenching letter to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Abbas-dismissed Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh asking them to provide treatment so that they do not die.
Lack of medicine is not the only problem facing patients in Gaza due to the siege. Much medical equipment, particularly x-ray machines, no longer works because necessary maintenance cannot be undertaken. Maawiya Hasanein, director of the Emergency Department in the Palestinian Ministry of Health, told the Weekly that 80 per cent of x-ray machines in Gaza’s hospitals are broken, in addition to most CAT scan machines. Dialysis machines and other medical equipment cannot be serviced. Hasanein pointed out that a number of operations have been delayed because the necessary equipment and anaesthetics are not available.
Basim Naim, minister of health in Haniyeh’s dismissed government, says that the siege and closure of Gaza’s crossings are the reasons for the major crisis facing patients in Gaza. In a statement to the Weekly, Naim said that most medicine in the Ministry of Health is in Ramallah. Naim says that health conditions in Gaza seem all the more tragic given the presence of large medicine factories in the West Bank, a fact that has made it relatively easy to find treatment and meet medicinal needs in the West Bank.
Naim does not hold the government of Abbas- appointed Prime Minister Salam Fayyad responsible for the deteriorating health situation in Gaza. He notes that despite differences between the two governments, there is close cooperation in order to overcome the crisis caused by the lack of medicine.
Obviously, the siege has greatly increased restrictions on Palestinians’ freedom of movement. Although most of those stranded at the Rafah border crossing have now returned to the Strip, thousands of Palestinians in Gaza want to leave for reasons related to personal commitments, due to their health conditions, or to complete their university education.
While not as severe, the general situation is not so much different in the West Bank. According to Abdul- Rahman Al-Tamimi, head of the Association of Palestinian Hydrologists, 600,000 Palestinians in the West Bank are deprived of drinking water because they cannot pay their water bills. Al-Tamimi says that due to deteriorating circumstances, 50 per cent of consumers are currently not paying their water bills, a fact that in turn has affected the ability of local councils in the West Bank to pay for the water they acquire from the Qatari- Israeli water company Mekorot.
It is striking that in contrast to the impression Abbas and his advisors have tried to put across, meetings with Israelis have not led to an improvement of conditions for Palestinians. On the contrary, conditions have worsened. Mustafa Al-Barghouti, former Palestinian media minister and head of the Independent Palestine bloc in the Palestinian Legislative Council, notes that despite Israel’s talk of removing military checkpoints from roads in the West Bank, these checkpoints have increased, jumping from 545 in 2005 to 693 currently. “These meetings create a very misleading impression, and form a cover that allows Israel to continue its project of expansion and aggression against the Palestinian people,” Barghouti told the Weekly.
Barghouti notes that the number of settlers in the West Bank has increased by 50 per cent since Israel began to implement the disengagement plan in Gaza in 2005. Barghouti also notes that since 255 Palestinian prisoners were released, following the latest Sharm El-Sheikh summit, Israel has arrested 336 Palestinians, 50 per cent more than were released. Barghouti says that Israel currently holds 11,000 Palestinians, among them 426 children. Barghouti laments the fact that by continuing to hold meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Abbas is contributing to the misleading of Palestinian, Arab and international public opinion. Barghouti suggests that Israel is coordinating a public relations campaign through these meetings, and nothing more.
Barghouti stresses that the role played by foreign interests has a negative effect on domestic Palestinian relations, particularly between Fatah and Hamas. He has proposed an initiative for dialogue that aims to rescue Palestinians from current crisis; an initiative based on the formation of a transitional government and dissolving the two standing governments in the West Bank and Gaza. For Barghouti, the first mission that must be undertaken is to re-unify Palestinian administrative control in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Also pressing is reform of Palestinian security agencies; their restructuring on a professional basis removed from partisan interests. His proposed transitional government would undertake preparations for fresh elections in which all Palestinian parties would take part, leading to the formation of a true national unity government

About
We are a group of ‘humans’ who share the feelings of sorrow and grief for those fellow humans” in Palestine” living under the Israeli suppression and suffering from ethnic cleansing by its racist Zionist system.
We believe that some governments (those intimately bound to the Zionist state) would change their policies if their people would push them to. And that’s why these governments are closing the eyes of their people from the unbiased version of the story, by means of brain-washing propaganda through the mainstream media, showering the minds of the people with unproven lies and on the other hand, by deliberately concealing vital information and key elements of ‘what truly happened’. And that’s where we, come into action.
Our purpose is to spread the real image of the regressive human status for the Palestinian people, due to the Israeli siege.
We believe if people whose eyes have been blindfolded get their hands on ‘the truth’, change might occur. One might argue here that this ‘truth’ has many versions, many sides, and many ‘authors’. Well, we believe that IN REALITY, only one version of these stories has happened; or in other words, there should (actually MUST!) be only one story that is truly true. And we are not ‘forcing’ people to believe that the story we have is the one, but we simply want them to be rational enough to take it into consideration, because WE believe it is the true story.
We wish for people around the world to not only completely break free from the brain-washing media, but also to find it rewarding when helping others break free as well. That’s how we find it, hugely rewarding!
