"I DO NOT STRUGGLE ALONE"
By Dina Awad and Hazem Jamjoum, Live from Palestine, 15 July 2008

Ibrahim Bornat, 25, from the village of Bil'in in the
occupied West Bank, was shot three times in the left thigh
with dum-dum bullets by the Israeli occupation forces
on 13 June 2008. Like he does every week, Ibrahim
was protesting against the construction of the separation
wall in his village, which will effectively result in the
annexation of 58 percent of the lands by Israel. Dina Awad
and Hazem Jamjoum write from occupied Ramallah.

CAIRO (IPS) - Despite intensive mediation efforts by
Egyptian officials, a delegation from Palestinian
resistance faction Hamas departed Cairo Saturday without
securing a prisoner exchange deal with Israel. According
to local analysts, fresh swap proposals -- featuring the
release of long-time Israeli captive Gilad Shalit --
continue to run up against Israeli obduracy.

By Anne Paq, Live from Palestine, 14 July 2008

On 27 June, I took part in one of the regular tours of the
West Bank city of Hebron and its settlements organized by
the organization Breaking the Silence. Breaking the
Silence is a group of Israeli army soldiers and veterans
who work to expose the injustice of the Israeli occupation
of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Once more, the tour was
disrupted because of the settlers. Anne Paq reports from
