Blood in the streets
.
| Make East Jerusalem the Capital of Palestine Amira Hass – Haaretz – How did the horse die just as it was getting used to not eating? (…) Twenty steps that will reverse the situation – and be far less painful than the alternative. (…) Delusional? Actually, all this would be far less painful than the destruction of this land and the two peoples who live in it. [bz] | |
| Kitchen knife – Palestinian weapon of despair Michel Warschawski – AIC – A spree of extra-judicial killings is taking place in Israel today, cheered on by the masses. This spree renders any Palestinian action an act of suicide. (…) A young woman rises one morning, takes a screwdriver and attacks an Israeli, knowing this will almost certainly cost her life. This is the state of despair of a Palestinian population that has lost all illusions concerning the “peace process”. [bz] | |
| On film – Palestinian confronts police, shot to death Shehab Press Agency – The footage from a security camera shows the whole of the confrontation between a lone knife-wielding Palestinian and numerous Israeli police, ending with his being shot to death. [ak] | |
| The sum of our financial fears: What if the PA collapses? Danny Rubinstein – Ynet – If the Palestinian rule does fall apart, the political, security and economic burden on Israel`s shoulders will be unbearable (…) Without Israel, the West Bank will soon turn into a second Gaza, with an African-style distress and one of the world`s highest unemployment rates. [bz] | |
| Mother of Palestinian shot dead denied permit to attend son`s funeral Ma`an – Just one sad story among all what is happening right now but so revealing of the underlying cause [bz]. | |
| There will be no peace until Israel’s occupation of Palestine ends Marwan Barghouti – The Guardian – The current escalation in violence did not start with the killing of two Israeli settlers, it started a long while ago and has been going on for years. Every day Palestinians are killed, wounded, arrested. Every day colonialism advances, the siege on our people in Gaza continues, oppression persists. As many today want us to be overwhelmed by the potential consequences of a new spiral of violence, I will plead, as I did in 2002, to deal with its root causes: the denial of Palestinian freedom. [bz] | |
| Abbas Can’t Control the Lost Generation of Oslo Amira Hass – Haaretz – One of the assumptions of Israeli and Palestinian intelligence is that those carrying out the lone-wolf attacks are influenced by social media. That’s true, but they are also influenced by video clips, some of which appear on Israeli sites first, depicting the routine violence that Israel directs at Palestinians. Those speaking of incitement are underestimating the influence of Israeli soldiers killing Palestinians civilians. [bz] | |

| Fear and Tension on a Mixed Jewish-Arab Street in Jerusalem`s Old City Nir Hasson – Haaretz – Palestinian residents of Prophet Street fear it will become a replica of Hebron`s Shuhada Street, which was closed to Arabs following the massacre committed by Baruch Goldstein. dn
