CROSSING THE LINE INTERVIEWS DR. EYAD AL-SARRAJ
Podcast, The Electronic Intifada, 25 April 2008

This week on Crossing the Line: Haaretz recently reported
that Egypt and Israel have agreed in principle that Egypt
will assume responsibility for supplying electricity to
the Gaza Strip's 1.4 million residents. But will Israel,
who had previously supplied Gaza with most of its
electricity, allow for this to continue in the context of
their ongoing siege on Gaza? Host Naji Ali speaks with Dr.
Eyad al-Sarraj, founder and director of the Gaza Community
Mental Health Programme about the ongoing siege and
humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

FILM REVIEW: "DRIVING TO ZIGZIGLAND"
By Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 24 April 2008

It is a familiar dilemma. You are on a plane, or at a
social gathering, and a stranger asks you where you are
from. Your mind races to come up with an answer. If you
say "Palestine," you know that it's not likely to be a
short conversation. Bashar (Bashar Da'as), the main
protagonist of Driving to Zigzigland, Nicole Ballivan's
2006 feature film, uses a strategy to give him a measure
of control with his taxi fares that support him while he
looks for the perfect acting role. EI co-founder Ali
Abunimah reviews.

THIS LAND WAS THEIRS
By Hannah Mermelstein, The Electronic Intifada, 24 April 2008

In my name, and in the name of Jewish people throughout
the world, an indigenous population was almost completely
expelled. Village names have been removed from the map,
houses blown up, and new forests planted. In Arabic, this
is called the Nakba, or catastrophe. In Israel, this is
called "independence." Hannah Mermelstein comments.

GAZA FUEL SUPPLIES ON A KNIFE EDGE
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 23 April 2008

JERUSALEM/GAZA, 23 April (IRIN) - Israel once again pumped
industrial diesel to the Gaza Strip's sole power plant on
23 April, just hours before it was scheduled to stop
operations due to a lack of fuel. An Israeli official told
IRIN about one million liters would be sent in, provided
no "security incidents" took place. The plant said it
needed about 3.5 million liters a week, though Israel has
committed to transferring only 2.2 million. The amount
sent in on 23 April could only be spun out for a few days.

REPORT: FAMILY MEMBERS USED TO PRESSURE PALESTINIANS IN ISRAELI DETENTION
Report, PCATI, 22 April 2008

"They said that if I confessed to everything they wanted,
they would release my wife, and that she was in the
isolation cell because of me." This and similar
testimonies of detainees interrogated by the Israeli
intelligence during the past year indicate a phenomenon
whose gravity must not be minimized: the use of a
detainee's family to "break" him.
