PHOTOSTORY: A CULTURE OF SURVIVAL AMIDST A RAVAGED GEOGRAPHY
By Umayyah Cable, The Electronic Intifada, 18 July 2008

For most Americans, Palestine does not exist. Yet it is
present enough to be seen as a faceless enemy. A dangerous
and unwelcoming land, a breeding ground for fundamentalist
Islam, teeming with angry anti-American Jihadists,
Palestine is, in the American imagination, a ravaged
landscape devoid of culture and joy. Growing up
half-Palestinian in the United States, I have been
fighting to disprove these assumptions my entire life.

ISRAEL THREATENS WEST BANK VILLAGE WITH EXPULSION
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 17 July 2008

Testimonies given to B'Tselem indicate that the Civil
Administration recently informed residents of the
Palestinian village 'Arab a-Ramadin al-Janubi that they
will be demanded to vacate their village and move to
another site, in contradiction of Israel's explicit
undertaking to the High Court of Justice. The village is
an enclave situated west of the separation barrier, near
the site on which the Alfe Menashe settlement was
established.

NO MEDITERRANEAN UNION SHORTCUT AROUND ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT
By Hasan Abu Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 16 July 2008

Escaping into ambitious political fantasy like that behind
the Mediterranean Union is not the right approach to
urgent political questions. It is no more than a waste of
time. If Europe is truly concerned, there is a due need
for a principled, bold, decisive and compatible with
international law policy towards the resolution of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. EI contributor Hasan Abu Nimah
comments.

MEET THE LEBANESE PRESS: FREE AT LAST!
By Hicham Safieddine, Electronic Lebanon, 16 July 2008

The petty politics of forming a national "unity"
government in Lebanon will be overshadowed this week by a
development with local and regional implications. All
Lebanese political prisoners still held in Israeli jails
will return home. Five in total, including Samir Kuntar,
the dean of Arab detainees, who has spent close to three
decades of his life in captivity. With the return of
prisoners, another chapter of Hizballah's struggle against
Israel has closed.

CELEBRITIES URGED TO CUT TIES TO SETTLEMENT FINANCIER
By Omid Memarian, The Electronic Intifada, 15 July 2008

UNITED NATIONS (IPS) - Having successfully lobbied the UN
Children's Agency UNICEF to stop accepting donations from
Israeli billionaire Lev Avnerovich Leviev, activists are
urging celebrities who have made public appearances with
Leviev to cut all ties with him. Leviev is the chairman of
Africa Israel Investments, a global conglomerate that has
been criticized by a variety of non-governmental
organizations for its involvement in building settlements
in the occupied West Bank.
