WEST BANK FARMERS FACE RUIN AFTER TREES UPROOTED
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 28 April 2008

JEET, WEST BANK, 27 April (IRIN) - It was difficult for
87-year-old Jamil Khader to discover that nearly all of
the 1,400 olive trees his extended family planted in
February had suddenly gone missing, having been uprooted
and stolen. "He became very ill when I told him. He was
hospitalized and was in bed for a week," his son Khalil,
from the small town of Jeet in the northern West Bank,
told IRIN.

NADINE GORDIMER: STAND AGAINST ISRAEL'S APARTHEID TOO
Open letter, Dr. Haider Eid, 25 April 2008

The following is an edited open letter from Gaza lecturer
Dr. Haider Eid to Nobel Prize-winning South African author
Nadine Gordimer: The news of your conscious decision to
take part in the "Israel at 60" celebrations has reached
us, students and citizens of Gaza, as both a painful
surprise, and a glaring example of a hypocritical
intellectual double standard. My students, psychologically
and emotionally traumatized and already showing early
signs of malnutrition as a result of the genocidal policy
of the country whose birth you will be celebrating, demand
an explanation.
