[ePalestine] al-Walaja

Today, I visited the village of al-Walaja, on the other side of Bethlehem, on the Green Line, to meet the village mayor and a group of activists working to save the village. On our way to the meeting, we passed several homes that were recently demolished by Israel.

This village is under attack by Israel. After the original village was depopulated in 1948 the new village of al-Walaja, east of the Green Line, is now walled in and dozens of homes are under demolition orders. The majority of the village is classified as "Area C" and it is surrounded by the illegal Israeli settlements of Gilo and Har Gilo. The village is in a legal struggle to get the Israeli occupation authorities to allow the village to have a Master Plan so they can legally build, which to date they have refused to allow. The case is live...more on this shortly.

Landscape photo: From the rooftop of a home under construction in new al-Walaja, which is under a demolition order, looking toward the original village of al-Walaja that was depopulated in 1948. In the valley is the railroad that was part of the Hejaz railway that went from Damascus to Medina. To the right is the Separation Wall and associated security road.

Photo of activists: The village mayor and a group of village activists, along with an Israeli friend and his wife who are working in solidarity with the village.

Olive grove photo: In the middle of the olive grove sits the oldest olive tree in Palestine. Under the tree, not seen in the photo, is a security guard who keeps watch on the tree so settlers do not uproot it. (More here https://thisweekinpalestine.com/the-ancient-olive-tree/)

[ePalestine] Request for Quote - Flags

Ben Gvir, Israeli leader of the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit [Jewish Strength] party, said in a statement from his office that he had ordered Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai to implement a new policy. The statement read:

“Minister Ben Gvir sent the [Israeli] police commissioner’s office an order stating that all police officers of any rank are authorized in the course of police work to pull down flags of the Palestinian Authority.”

~The Times of Israel, 9 January 2023

[ePalestine] CounterPunch: It’s Time to Call Israel’s Bluff (By Sam Bahour - Tony Klug)

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is planned to speak tomorrow (Friday, 23/9) to the UN General Assembly for the umpteenth time. He will give another history lesson and totally waste his time. However, those states in the audience have the power to act. In this piece, Dr. Tony Klug and I propose how they can make a difference, for once, to hold Israel accountable, non-violently. The alternative is playing out in the streets of Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Gaza!

[ePalestine] Palestine-Israel Journal: Incompetence or Accomplice? (By Sam Bahour)

Vol. 26 No. 3&4 , 2021 - Looking Back, Thinking Ahead

𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲?

By Sam Bahour

The international community, coerced by America, never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to bring peace to the Middle East. A logical explanation is that they are accomplices to Israeli crimes against humanity.

This edition of the Palestine-Israel Journal presents a fascinating exchange—dare I term it a debate—between two acclaimed analysts, Dr Noam Chomsky and Dr Tony Klug.
