Israeli forces expanding Wall in West Bank's Jordan Valley
Palestine News Network - Thursday, 28 December 2006, 16:29

Residents of the northern Jordan Valley in the West Bank are living in state of fear and anxiety as Israeli forces overtake more land. The Wall is being built on their land and more of the surroundings are being confiscated.

Farid Abdul Rahim of the Land Defense Committee said that the peoples' suffering has been exacerbated as they depend on agriculture and are unable to reach it. Hundreds of thousands of the most fertile acres of farm land have been lost.

The Israeli Civil Administration, the occupation authority in the area, has targeted areas that are the only source of livelihood for many residents. Israeli forces recently took hundreds of acres from Mousa Jihazi who said that the Wall has usurped the “subsistence of our children.”

Reza Khalid said that there are now signs placed around his land indicating that he is no longer allowed to be there. “Army patrols are touring the region to force people to not enter the land. This is in preparation for a full takeover of our land because once we cannot reach it, they will say it is uninhabited.”

He continued, “This has been the main objective for years; stifling us and our patience and ability to preserve our energy to resist. Now they have decided to attack us and force us to leave our land and abandon our rights.”

In another northern Jordan Valley village the head of the local council said that the Israeli resolution is meant to seize and control the lands by putting thousands of dunams on the other side of the Wall. He also noted, “Dozens of houses are being destroyed by this.”

Israeli forces have imposed several additional checkpoints in the area and issued dozens of warnings to area farmers telling them to remove green houses as the Israeli forces are “establishing a military buffer zone” on hundreds of Palestinian agricultural land.

Residents report that in the last week the Israelis have brought in more surveyors and photographers in a prelude to implementing the destruction.

The Land Defense Committee issued a statement rejecting the Israeli confiscation and called on the international community to force Israel to abide international law and stop destroying Palestinian lands and livelihood.

Israeli activists against the Wall block downtown Tel Aviv
Ghassan Bannoura – IMEMC - Thursday, 28 December 2006, 15:15

Israeli activists blocked central downtown of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv with razor wire from the illegal Wall on Thursday afternoon.

The activists stretched the razor wire across Basel Street with a sign from the Wall that reads in Arabic, Hebrew and English: "Anyone who touches the fence endangers their life." The twenty activists from the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall, who attend the weekly Friday demonstrations against the illegal Wall in Bil'in, a village near the northern West Bank city of Rammallah, set up the blockade at around 2pm and started handing out flyers to passersby explaining the action.

The action was taken to protest the Apartheid Wall being built throughout the West Bank, as well as severe travel restrictions forced on Palestinians, Yonaton Pollack an Israeli activist told IMEMC in a phone call.

The leaflets remind Israelis that they bear responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians as a result of their government's apartheid policies.

Palestinian presidential guards receive 2000 machineguns from Egypt
Ghassan Bannoura – IMEMC & Agencies - Thursday, 28 December 2006, 12:38

Palestinian security forces under the command of President Mahmoud Abbas, known as the presidential guards, working in the Gaza Strip received 2000 machineguns, twenty thousand gun chargers and one million rounds, late Wednesday night.

Israeli media sources said that these weapons came from Egypt under the supervision of the Israeli army, through the Karem Shalom border crossing north of the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian officers who received the four shipments told the Israeli online daily Haartz that "for a long time Hamas forces have exceeded ours." Though Palestinian sources denied that the Presidental Guard forces received the weapons, Egyptian governmental officials conferment the deal.

Nabel Abu Erdinah, spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, stated that no deal was made and that the presidential guard forces did not receive any kind of weapons from any destination.

According to Haartz the reason behind delivering those guns to the presidential guards after detaining them for more than 6 months was due to the recent infighting between Hamas and Fatah. The deal was approved during the meeting between Abbas and the Israeli Prime Minster Ehud Olmert last Saturday, after Abbas promised to deploy his forces on the borders between Israel and Gaza, and Gaza and Egypt, in order to stop illegal weapon smuggling into the Gaza strip.

"I've checked out Churchill's Second World War and the statement is quite correct-not a single mention of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war.
Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; the six volumes of Churchill's Second World War total 4,448 pages; and de Gaulle's three-volume Mémoires de guerre is 2,054 pages. In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war."
