"Terror expert" smearing solidarity groups | Child detainees suffer medical neglect | Delegitimizing discrimination | And more ...

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:43:00 GMT

*********************************************************** LATEST OPINION AND FEATURES FROM THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA *********************************************************** Why is "terror expert" attacking US solidarity groups? By Kristin Szremski, 5 January 2012 A "terror expert" in the US is trying to entangle an American non-profit organization in a shroud of secretive conspiracy theories intent on branding it a "supporter of terrorism." <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/why-terror-expert-attacking-us-solidarity-groups/10779">http://electronicintifada.net/content/why-terror-expert-attacking-us-solidarity-groups/10779</a> -- Judge dismisses claims of "anti-Semitic climate" at UC Berkeley By Dalia Almarina, Berkeley, 6 January 2012 A lawsuit over anti-Semitism at the University of California Berkley has been dismissed after a judge determined that students alleging a hostile climate on campus failed to support their claims. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/judge-dismisses-claims-anti-semitic-climate-uc-berkeley/10780">http://electronicintifada.net/content/judge-dismisses-claims-anti-semitic-climate-uc-berkeley/10780</a> -- "Sometimes I feel my stomach will explode": Israel subjects teen prisoner to medical negligence By Emily Lawrence, Beit Ommar, 5 January 2012 A Palestinian teenager describes the physical and psychological torture he endured while imprisoned in an Israeli jail for throwing stones, and how his chronic illness went untreated in what his family say was a deliberate attempt by the prison authorities as further punishment. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/sometimes-i-feel-my-stomach-will-explode-israel-subjects-teen-prisoner-medical-negligence">http://electronicintifada.net/content/sometimes-i-feel-my-stomach-will-explode-israel-subjects-teen-prisoner-medical-negligence</a> -- Delegitimizing discrimination: struggle of Palestinians in Israel focus of new book By Rod Such, 4 January 2012 Palestinians in Israel: Segregation, Discrimination, and Democracy by Ben White links the struggle of Palestinians within Israel with those in the occupied West Bank and Gaza and the global diaspora. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/delegitimizing-discrimination-struggle-palestinians-israel-focus-new-book/10774">http://electronicintifada.net/content/delegitimizing-discrimination-struggle-palestinians-israel-focus-new-book/10774</a> -- Anwar and Haneen: two beautiful girls murdered by Israel By Sarah Ali, Gaza Strip, 3 January 2012 Were 13-year-old Anwar and five-year-old Haneen terrorists? What could possibly explain the Israeli army's targeting of children during its invasion of Gaza three years ago? <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/anwar-and-haneen-two-beautiful-girls-murdered-israel/10768">http://electronicintifada.net/content/anwar-and-haneen-two-beautiful-girls-murdered-israel/10768</a> *********************************************************** THE LATEST FROM THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA BLOGS *********************************************************** Israeli propaganda group HonestReporting denies encouraging employee to smear UK professor Asa Winstanley's blog, 6 January 2012 My recent article exposing a smear by an Israeli pressure group worker seems to have touched a nerve. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israeli-propaganda-group-honestreporting-denies-encouraging-employee-smear-uk">http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israeli-propaganda-group-honestreporting-denies-encouraging-employee-smear-uk</a> -- Will outraged liberals ever notice that Palestinians exist? A comment on Sarah Wildman piece in Forward Ali Abunimah's blog, 6 January 2012 Sarah Wildman, columnist for the International Herald Tribune and PBS and contributing editor to the Forward takes issue with the increasingly promiscuous accusation of "anti-Semitism" against critics of Israel. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/will-outraged-liberals-ever-notice-palestinians-exist-comment-sarah-wildman-piece">http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/will-outraged-liberals-ever-notice-palestinians-exist-comment-sarah-wildman-piece</a> -- UK's student body endorses divestment Ben White's blog, 6 January 2012 In a historic move, the National Union of Students (NUS) in the UK has throws its weight behind campaigns targeting Eden Springs and Veolia. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/ben-white/uks-student-body-endorses-divestment">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/ben-white/uks-student-body-endorses-divestment</a> -- Popular Palestine activism outreach tool reappears: "Loss of Land" map cards available again Abraham Greenhouse's blog, 5 January 2012 I first saw these cards at a Palestine activism conference around 2002, when they were still quite new, being distributed by the Ann Arbor Friends Meeting's Palestine Israel Action Group (PIAG). With the front side featuring a set of maps depicting Palestinian loss of land from pre-Nakba times to present, and the back featuring a contemporary map showing the fragmentation of the West Bank (alongside various statistics and quotes), these cards are simple, convenient, and effective tools which remain popular a decade after their introduction. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/abraham-greenhouse/popular-palestine-activism-outreach-tool-reappears-loss-land-map-cards">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/abraham-greenhouse/popular-palestine-activism-outreach-tool-reappears-loss-land-map-cards</a> -- Israel's "pretty face": How National Union of Israeli Students does government's propaganda dirty work Ali Abunimah's blog, 5 January 2012 Yesterday I wrote about a program run by the National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS) to pay Israeli college students $2,000 to spread hasbara - propaganda favorable to Israel - on social networking sites. This raised a further question: who pays for this and what role do Israel's government and other organizations play in this use of students to deliver propaganda? <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/ali-abunimah/israels-pretty-face-how-national-union-israeli-students-does-governments">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/ali-abunimah/israels-pretty-face-how-national-union-israeli-students-does-governments</a> -- It's Never Too Late to Boycott Israel: The Proper Disposal of Already-Purchased Goods Abraham Greenhouse's blog, 4 January 2012 It's difficult to avoid, especially in the frenzy of consumerism and gift-giving which washes over the West at the end of every year: "I meant to boycott that company," I've had friends tell me, "but it was a gift." Or, "I bought it before I knew." But like it or not, our unwitting purchases, or receipt thereof as gifts, play a role in preventing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns against Israel from achieving their full potential. <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/abraham-greenhouse/its-never-too-late-boycott-israel-proper-disposal-already-purchased-goods">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/abraham-greenhouse/its-never-too-late-boycott-israel-proper-disposal-already-purchased-goods</a> -- The cancellation of Sharif Dorzi's concert Jalal Abukhater's blog, 4 January 2012 I woke up this morning to read a distorted and misleading piece in The Washington Post, the headline reads: "Palestinians block performance of Israeli Arab singer under pressure from boycott movement." <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/jalal-abukhater/cancellation-sharif-dorzis-concert">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/jalal-abukhater/cancellation-sharif-dorzis-concert</a> -- Video: Film footage from Palestine back in 1896 Jalal Abukhater's blog, 3 January 2012 It is becoming a trend among influential GOP candidates to call out the Palestinian people as "invented" or even "non-existent". First we had Republican candidate Newt Gingrich calling the Palestinians an "invented people". Another rising star, Republican candidate Rick Santorum, has also said "There is no Palestine". <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/jalal-abukhater/film-footage-palestine-back-1896">http://electronicintifada.net/blog/jalal-abukhater/film-footage-palestine-back-1896</a> -- ABOUT US: The Electronic Intifada (EI), found at <a href="http://electronicIntifada.net">http://electronicIntifada.net</a>, publishes news, commentary, analysis, and reference materials about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a Palestinian perspective.

A big thank you to our readers

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:00:00 GMT

(Mailing List Information, including unsubscription instructions, is located at the end of this message.) <h1 style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; border-bottom: 1px solid black;"><a href="http://electronicintifada.net"><img src="http://electronicintifada.net/sites/electronicintifada.net/files/ei%20logo%202011.png" width="100" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></a> The Electronic Intifada</h1> Dear Friends, Happy new year! On behalf of The Electronic Intifada team, thank you for the support so many of you gave us – from all over the world – during our December campaign. Because you took action, I am pleased to report that we were able to meet our goal of raising $100,000 in donations and new pledges so that we can continue doing our work. Last year was one of record readership for us; we broke original stories and covered the struggle for justice in Palestine from so many perspectives that mainstream media ignore or distort. We faced constant attacks from anti-Palestinian groups as part of an orchestrated campaign to silence and censor discussion about Palestine. We never backed down – on the contrary we reported on and exposed to scrutiny the groups behind these defamation campaigns against us and our communities. We’re looking forward to doing so much more and reaching even more new readers with unparalleled coverage of Palestine. We never forget that it is the support and passion of our readers that gives us the independence, confidence and courage to do this work. So visit The Electronic Intifada every day and see and share the power of what we can do together. We’re ready for 2012 no matter what comes, thanks to you. Ali Abunimah Executive Director <a href="http://electronicintifada.net">The Electronic Intifada</a> PS: If you didn’t donate during our December campaign it is never too late and your support is always welcome! Here’s how you can <a href="http://electronicintifada.net/content/donate-support-work-electronic-intifada/4">make a donation now</a>. -- The following information is a reminder of your current mailing list subscription: You are subscribed to the following list: ei News Using the following email: example@example.com You may automatically unsubscribe from this list at any time by visiting the following URL: <a href="http://lists.electronicintifada.net/mail.cgi/u/einews/[email_name]/[email_domain]/1234/"> http://lists.electronicintifada.net/mail.cgi/u/einews/[email_name]/[email_domain]/1234/ </a> If the above URL is inoperable, make sure that you have copied the entire address.
