PALESTINE/ISRAEL: Protesters rally over funding for Christian schools in Israel.

 Protesters rally over funding for Christian schools in Israel

Students at the schools were among those protesting on Sunday

Protesters have gathered in front of the Israeli prime minister's office to demand greater funds for Christian schools. Private Christian schools receive some state funding but protesters say it is lower than that given to equivalent Jewish schools. They say their funding has been reduced in an effort to make them join the Israeli public school system. Israel's Christians come overwhelmingly from its Arab minority.

The country's 47 Christian schools have been on strike since the beginning of the school year on 1 September. Ibrahim Fakhouri, a parent from Nazareth, was at the demonstration and said he believed Christian schools were being discriminated against. "As citizens of this country, we are law obeying citizens, and we deserve equal rights," he told AP. Arab members of parliament were also at the demonstration.

In response to the protest the education ministry said that "Christian schools are funded in an equal manner as other recognized but unofficial schools in the State of Israel," according to the Jerusalem Post.

It reported the ministry as saying it "is having meetings with representatives of the educational institutes".

PALESTINE/ISRAEL: Israeli lawyer: Palestinians 'have the right to fight'

Lea Tsemel discusses the deportation and detention of Palestinians, torture, and discriminatory laws in Israel.

01 Aug 2015 11:40 GMT | Human Rights, Law, Middle East, Israel, Palestine

The Israeli parliament has passed a new law legalising the force-feeding of prisoners on hunger strikes. For Palestinians in Israeli jails, hunger strikes are a strong mode of protesting detention and occupation.

The United Nations, the Palestinian Prisoners Commission and the Israeli Medical Association have all condemned the new law. The country's medical association are urging doctors to not partake in force-feeding, saying it is effectively torture and violates medical ethics.

But Israel has said that Palestinian hunger strikes could lead to deaths and set off protests across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. It is a move that highlights the treatment of Palestinian prisoners and how those defending them face difficult odds. One of these defenders is lawyer Lea Tsemel, who has had a career spanning more than four decades and is a rarity in Israel - almost all her clients have been exclusively Palestinian.

Tsemel has rarely ever turned a case down and has defended men, women, and increasingly children who are tried in Israeli courts for alleged crimes ranging from stone throwing to attempted suicide bombings. In her view, as Israel continues to occupy Palestinian land, any reaction - violent or otherwise - is a direct result of the occupation.

"I believe that people who are under occupation have the right to fight it," she says.

Born in Haifain 1945 to pro-Zionist parents, Tsemel worked as a volunteer for the Israeli army during the 1967 war. It was an experience that she says drove her into political activism and a career in law. Tsemel's legal career has been marked, in her own words, by "major failures," but also important successes. Her defense of Palestinians remains deeply controversial in Israel and she has even received death threats. As she talks to Al Jazeera, Lea Tsemel says she is determined that nothing will prevent her from fighting for the rights of Palestinians.

Birth rate in Israeli Ethiopian community declining

By Talila Nesher | Haaretz (Israeli newspaper), Jan.27, 2013 

A government official has for the first time acknowledged the practice of injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera.

Health Ministry Director General Prof. Ron Gamzu has instructed the four health maintenance organizations to stop the practice as a matter of course.

The ministry and other state agencies had previously denied knowledge or responsibility for the practice, which was first reported five years ago.

Gamzu’s letter instructs all gynecologists in the HMOs "not to renew prescriptions for Depo-Provera for women of Ethiopian origin if for any reason there is concern that they might not understand the ramifications of the treatment.” He also instructed physicians to avail themselves of translators if need be.

Gamzu’s letter came in response to a letter from Sharona Eliahu-Chai of the Association of Civil Rights in Israel, representing several women’s rights and Ethiopian immigrants’ groups. The letter demanded the injections cease immediately and that an investigation be launched into the practice.

About six weeks ago, on an Educational Television program, journalist Gal Gabbay revealed the results of interviews with 35 Ethiopian immigrants. The women’s testimony could help explain the almost 50-percent decline over the past 10 years in the birth rate of Israel’s Ethiopian community. 

According to the program, while the women were still in transit camps in Ethiopia they were sometimes intimidated or threatened into taking the injection. “They told us they are inoculations,” said one of the women interviewed. “They told us people who frequently give birth suffer. We took it every three months. We said we didn’t want to.”

ISRAEL: Apartheid, Hypocrisy and Discrimination...

For Arab student going to Ariel, the message is 'Yalla, get off the bus'

 

Iniya Daher, a Tel Aviv resident, says security guards forced her off a bus at gunpoint on her way to Ariel University Center in the West Bank.

 

By Jack Khoury | Sep.25, 2012 | 12:50 AM

An Arab student says security guards humiliated her and forced her off a bus at gunpoint on her way to Ariel University Center in the West Bank.

Iniya Daher, a Tel Aviv resident about to begin her third year of multidisciplinary and criminology studies, uses public transportation and usually has no problems going through the Sha'ar Shomron checkpoint on her way to Ariel. A week and a half ago, two security guards heard her speaking Arabic on the bus.

"I was on my way back from the college. We reached the checkpoint and, as usual, two guards boarded the bus," she told Haaretz. "When I speak Arabic on my cell phone, it's usually enough to give them my ID for inspection, as is almost always the case with Arab students or people going though a checkpoint. But this time it didn't work."

The guards weren't satisfied with the ID.

"They began questioning me, and I explained that I live in Tel Aviv and study in Ariel. But they didn't believe me," she said. "When I offered to show them my student card, one of the guards pointed his gun at me and said crudely: 'Yalla, get off the bus.'"

Daher says she was searched by the guards and a female guard.

"The search included my computer and personal things; it was very humiliating. I have to add that this happens a lot to Arab students. I just don't understand this attitude," she said.

"A year ago I witnessed a woman who was forced off the bus because she had a head covering. I'm talking about an Israeli citizen from one of the nearby Arab villages. At the time I felt sorry for her, and now it was my turn to be in this situation."

Daher spent last weekend with relatives in Nazareth, but she's still far from cooling down. "It really hurt me, and I considered cutting my studies short, but I've almost completed my BA," she said.

"There are dozens of other Arab students at Ariel, and it's a shame someone thinks they should be humiliated at the checkpoint. That's why I feel I have to tell my story to the press. Anyone who has never gone through such a humiliation has no idea how it feels. In a second you become a suspect just because you're an Arab."

The Defense Ministry, for its part, said that in this case there had been no deviation from the directives of the police and the Shin Bet security service.

"The process ... [of] building modern crossings and using professional personnel has improved services at the checkpoints and decreased the number of complaints," the ministry said.

"Still, the checkpoints are there to protect the security of Israeli citizens, and the Defense Ministry's checkpoint authority will continue to do everything necessary, under the procedures, to protect Israel's citizens."

USA/ISRAEL: End U.S. and Israeli Discrimination against U.S. Citizens

Take Action to End U.S. and Israeli Discrimination against U.S. Citizens

 

My name is Sandra Tamari.  I am active with the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, a member group of the US Campaign. I’ve attended previous national organizers’ conferences of the US Campaign, and I’m looking forward to seeing you in my home city of St. Louis for the US Campaign’s next annual conference, September 21-23.

As you may have heard when my story broke in media around the world, Israel detained me last month as I tried to enter through the Tel Aviv airport on an interfaith trip and for my cousin's wedding. As any U.S. citizen would, I called the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv for help.

I was shocked when the first question the embassy staffer asked me is: "Are you Jewish?"

When I told him that I am a Palestinian with family in the West Bank, he told me that there was nothing he could do to help me and that if he interceded on my behalf, then things would get worse for me.

So, I endured eight hours of interrogation by Israeli Shin Bet officials who accused me of being a terrorist because I would not surrender my privacy rights by giving them access to my personal email account.

I was forced to stay overnight in a prison and was then deported back to the United States.

I’m coming to Washington, DC on June 26 to let the State Department know that it cannot discriminate against U.S. citizens based on their religion or ethnic background. I know that you, Aadel, share the belief that the treatment I received from my government is patently unacceptable. Will you sign this petition to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to let her know your feelings?

Aadel, help me reach my goal of delivering 20,000 signatures to the State Department on June 26 by signing today!

Sadly, my case is far from unique.  Israel often denies Palestinian-Americans entry.  Many Palestinians have come forward recently to share their ordeals in trying to enter the country.  The organization Right to Enter documents these incidents.  Anyone who has suffered this treatment can report her/his story here.

Not only are Palestinian-Americans targeted for denial of entry by Israel. Israel engages in systematic profiling of Arab- and Muslim-Americans too, and frequently deports anyone who seeks to visit, or show solidarity with, Palestinians.

The most shameful part of my story is that the U.S. State Department did absolutely nothing to help a U.S. citizen in distress and has adopted the same racial, ethnic and religious profiling that Israel employs.

Recently, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano unbelievably praised Israel’s discriminatory airport policies! “Israel has perfected a system that works very well there,” she said. “They do a terrific job.” This is simply wrong.

Sign our petition to the State Department right now, telling them that it is "unacceptable for the U.S. Embassy to engage in such blatant discrimination. We demand that the Department of State issue clear guidelines to its embassy in Tel Aviv and consulate in Jerusalem that embassy employees are to respond immediately to all requests for assistance from U.S. citizens irrespective of their religion or ethnicity."

Thank you for doing your part to help me deliver 20,000 signatures to the State Department demanding that the United States put an end to systematic iscrimination against U.S. citizens by it and srael. 

Sincerely,

Sandra Tamari

JEWS/JUDAISM: Why Do So Many Jews Hate Black People?

Why Do So Many Jews Hate Black People?

By Adam Bilzerian

http://thebilzerianreport.com/?p=745

"White Europeans would have ended the morally corrupt practice of slavery in North America much sooner if it weren’t for powerful Jewish businessmen lobbying to keep their profitable industry alive..Jewish tribalism and nepotism keeps Black people from positions of power and influence, but uses their media to blame the inequality on white racism...".

Dov Lior, a popular chief rabbi in Israel, recently called Obama a Kushi, which is Israel’s equivalent to nig*er. Most Americans are completely unaware of the general contempt that many Jewish people have towards blacks, as Max Blumenthal found out when he interviewed dozens of young people in Israel who reiterated the Rabbi’s sentiments about Obama. Blumenthal’s video titled Feeling the Hate in Israel was removed from YouTube, Vimeo, and the Huffington Post shortly after going viral.

In order to understand the nature of this hatred we need to understand the historical context, which dates back hundreds of years. Although Jews were just a tiny percentage of the European population, they dominated the African slave trade. Jewish historians were so proud of this accomplishment that they bragged endlessly about their involvement and dominance of the industry in their historical texts. In Jews and Judaism in the United States: A Documentary History, prominent Jewish Historian Marc Raphael wrote: “Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French, British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated. This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the eighteenth century Jews participated in the triangular slave trade that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses….”

Jewish historical records show that Jewish involvement in the North American slave trade was so dominant that slave posts were frequently closed on Jewish holidays. Arnold Wiznitzer, a Jewish historian, wrote, “the buyers who appeared at the auctions were almost always Jews, and because of their lack of competitors they could buy slaves at low prices. If it happened that the date of such an auction fell on a Jewish holiday the auction had to be postponed” In The United States Jewry 1776-1985 Jacob Marcus wrote, “all through the eighteenth century, into the early nineteenth century, Jews in the North were to own black servants. In 1820 over 75% of all Jewish families in Charleston, Richmond, and Savannah owned slaves. Almost 40% of all Jewish householders in the United States owned one slave or more.” In the South, which had a much higher ratio of slave ownership than the North, only 5% of white people owned slaves.

White Europeans would have ended the morally corrupt practice of slavery in North America much sooner if it weren’t for powerful Jewish businessmen lobbying to keep their profitable industry alive. As Rabbi and historian, Bertram Korn said, “many Southern Jews believed slavery to be indispensable to their happiness and security. “The road to social and economic advancement and acceptance” (for the Jews) “was made easier by the institution of slavery.”

The honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan discovered these facts and published the book: The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which quotes Jewish historical records such as the aforementioned to prove the case. The Anti-Defamation League, mainstream media, and many other Jewish American organizations slandered Farrakhan for publishing the book, even calling him anti-semitic for merely assembling a collection of Jewish historical records.

This racism has not abated in recent times unfortunately. For example, when black African Jews returned to Israel in 1969 under the Right of Return Act, the government ruled that they were not real Jews and therefore did not qualify for citizenship or any legal status. The black Hebrews were also denied state benefits and work permits. It wasn’t until 2003 that black Hebrews were granted permanent residency, but not the automatic citizenship granted to all other races returning on the exact same provision. If it wasn’t for a group of Americans who shamed the Israeli government into granting black African Jews some legal status, they would probably never have received it. To this day black Jews are still not accepted by the Jewish community in Israel. Racial slurs, insults, and discrimination in housing rentals are commonplace. This treatment has reached such an unbearable level that Ethiopan Jews have taken to the streets to protest. In response, Sofa Landver, the Israeli Immigrant Absorption Minister, smugly replied that they should be grateful for all that Israel has done for them. This is reminiscent of white supremacist rhetoric in the America, which claims that Africans should be grateful their ancestors were brought to America. Israel was clearly created under the premise of future safety for all Jews, not just white European Jews. Therefore, black African Jews should have the same rights and entitlements to Israel as any other Jews.

The Israeli government has even been caught attempting to sterilize Ehtiopan Jews by giving them the controversial birth control, Depo-Provera, without warning them of the potential side effects. Ethiopian Jews are less than 1% of Israel’s population, but yet account for 60% of the women on Depo-Provera. The side effects are quite severe, including pain in the hands and back, heavy bleeding, and in some cases permanent sterilization. Around 10% of the women taking this drug develop substantial side effects. In 2004, the FDA warned against the dangers of the drugs. Unfortunately, many Ethiopan Jews fear being deported if they speak up about these types of human rights abuses.

In an effort to “preserve the Jewish character of the country,” Israel also plans on deporting immigrant workers and their children; even in cases where the children were born in Israel, speak Hebrew, and have spent their entire lives as Israeli residents.

Israeli racism is so great that when The association for Civil Rights in Israel(ACRI) took a poll in 2007 they found that 66% of Israeli teens believe Arabs are less intelligent, uncultured, and violent. 50% of the Israelis taking the poll said they would not share an apartment with an Arab, befriend an Arab or let their kids befriend Arabs, or even let Arabs into their homes. A poll taken by the ACRI in 2008 found that these trends were increasing. Another poll taken in 2007, by the Center Against Racism found that 75% of Israeli Jews did not approve of Jews living in the same apartment buildings as Arabs, and that more than 50% of Jews would not have an Arab boss and thought that marrying an Arab was tantamount to national treason. 50% of Israelis also thought Arabs should not be allowed in the same entertainment sites and 40% wanted Arab’s voting rights rescinded.

Now imagine how much higher those percentages would have been if they were asked about black people. In Israel, it is against the law for a gentile to marry a Jew, which is presumably directed at preventing black immigrants and Arabs from marrying white Jews. Amnesty International has condemned their marriage policy as discriminatory.

Sheldon Adelson’s newspaper, Israel Hayom, recently published a column which stated, “It is not uncommon to see 13 or 14-year-old girls dating members of ethnic minorities…. You see them sitting together on street benches and out on the town. Dating a member of an ethnic minority no longer carries a stigma. They come along with money, a car, buying her things that her parents can’t give her, spoiling her. There are a million stories like this around here. ”There are enough statistics on exploitation, seduction and coercion of young girls, but when it comes to ‘members of ethnic minorities’ – shhh! Don’t awaken the beast, or you might be considered a racist. The words ‘danger of assimilation’ are also kept out of our clean and enlightened lexicon.”

In 2010, the leader of the Sephardic community and founder of the Shas party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, stated that the sole purpose of non-Jews was to serve Jews. He also said in a television interview that “gentiles need to die…goyim have no place in this world.” Many of the top Israeli Rabbis issued a religious edict saying, “a thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew’s fingernail.”

Even though Israel takes a great deal of money from US in terms of direct foreign aid, “scrapped” military equipment that is really worth billions, one-sided contracts, and even charitable donations from Jews and Christians, according to Official Direct Assistance (ODA,) Israel is one of the stingiest developed countries in the world. Israel is one of the richest countries on the planet with more than 10,000 millionaires, but gives nearly 10 times less than the world average and gives the 4th least of any developed nation per capita, only barely beating out much poorer countries like Poland, Hungary, and Turkey. So while Israel took in $3 billion from America in direct aid and tens of billions in the other aid measures mentioned above, they only gave $141 million in foreign aid to nations in need of assistance in 2010. While Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were pledging billions to Africa, the 40% of American billionaires who are Jewish, focused their charitable contributions on Jewish causes, which arguably need the money the least.

The Jewish controlled media spends a ridiculous amount of airtime focusing on racial strife in America in order to cause a divide between blacks and whites. The truth of the matter is that there is very little inequality between whites and blacks when Jewish people are subtracted from the white column. Jewish people only comprise 2% of the population yet comprise 33% of the Supreme Court, 12-35% of the Ivy League student population and nearly 80% of the top administrative positions, 64% of the Federal Reserve including the top two spots, 10% of the Senate, and 6.5% of the House of Representatives. In addition, Jewish people control about 90% of the American media and make up 33% of America’s millionaires, 40% of America’s billionaires, and 45% of Forbes’ 40 richest Americans. Given these figures, it is statistically impossible for white gentiles to be over-represented in many of these positions. What is really taking place is that Jewish tribalism and nepotism keeps Black people from positions of power and influence, but uses their media to blame the inequality on white racism.

The Jewish owned American media (see http://thebilzerianreport.com/?p=114 for the names, pictures and titles, to prove this fact) spends amazing amounts of airtime on Israel and Middle East, but little to no airtime on Africa, even though America has just as much strategic and humanitarian interest in the continent. America gets more oil from Nigeria than Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, and Iran combined. The media has fooled the American people into believing that they get their oil from the Middle East so they continually intercede on Israel’s behalf. The reality is that America produces half of its own oil and gets the vast majority of the rest from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Nigeria. And given the history, Americans certainly owe much more to Africa than to Israel and the greater Middle East. Miraculously the Jewish controlled media ignored the Rwandan genocide, which killed nearly one million Africans; most likely because they didn’t care about the black people they once enslaved and didn’t want take away from the sympathy of the Jewish holocaust. There are dozens of Jewish lobbies in America that have secured vast aid to the Middle East, but there are no Jewish lobbies for black African countries.

Even to this day the Jewish community is yet to apologize or acknowledge any role in the African slave trade. In fact, they even deny it, and crucify anyone who discusses it, which is similar one would think to holocaust denial. The denial of Jewish involvement in the slave trade, considering all the Jewish documentation, is equally as preposterous as denying the Jewish holocaust.

ISRAEL: The IDF is leading Israel to destruction

'May God remember his sons and daughters' is a hair-raising messianic formula; making it the obligatory wording of the official Yizkor memorial prayer is a true revolution, one that alters the IDF's very essence: It has now become the Israel Divine Offense Forces.

By Sefi Rachlevsky

Imagine if hundreds of 18-year-olds were to inform the government and the chief of staff this summer that they will not enlist in the Israel Defense Forces.

They will not unless three demands are met: an end to the discriminatory and growing practice of drafting every secular girl for two years while not drafting religious girls at all; an end to the shameful practice, which has been getting worse, whereby a secular student who wants to study for four years is allowed to do so only rarely and in exchange for longer military service later on, while a student who signs up for four years of extremist religious studies is exempt from the draft for life; and a proclamation by the government that the IDF will defend Israel within its borders, and that the government has no interest in a single inch beyond them. These borders, in case Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has forgotten, are, according to our own laws, based on the 1967 borders, with the sole addition of the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem (the non-Jews of East Jerusalem are not Israeli citizens, so their neighborhoods are not part of the state ).

Income tax levied on Ashkenazi Jews alone would be illegal and immoral. A red light that applied only to brunettes would be invalid. Similarly, there's no such thing as drafting only nonreligious men and women. A law based on grievous discrimination is not a law and must not be obeyed.

Moreover, a country's laws and its army are supposed to defend its borders. You go abroad with a passport, not a tank.

The distorted reality that has taken Israel over is nothing new, but three straws have now broken the donkey's back: the preposterous expansion of the faith-based exemption; Netanyahu's commitment to eternal conflict because of his unwillingness to make do with a legal Israel based on the 1967 borders; and the decision by Netanyahu's adjutant, Benny Gantz - the chief of staff whose ability to stop Netanyahu from embarking on a destructive war was doubted by former Mossad chief Meir Dagan - that recruits must now sacrifice themselves for God, who is their father.

"May God remember his sons and daughters" is a hair-raising messianic formula. Making it the obligatory wording of the official Yizkor memorial prayer is a true revolution, one that alters the IDF's very essence: It has now become the Israel Divine Offense Forces. Author Haim Gouri wrote of fathers forced to sacrifice their sons, who were born with a knife in their heart. Now it's even worse: Those exempted from the draft are turning the nonreligious into future sacrifices for "God" and the messianic settlements.

But Netanyahu and Gantz only really need one recruit for the Army of God - God himself. After all, he's supposed to be omnipotent. If those who see themselves as God's children think he might run into difficulties again, they are welcome to join in. The Israel Divine Offense Forces will be staffed with his believers, sons and daughters alike, who will go to fight His wars outside Israel's borders, rather than on its behalf.

This is no summer joke. This week, Israel is training for a scenario in which it is bombarded with over 1,000 missiles a day. The locations for mass graves have already been prepared in the center of the country, where thousands of people will be buried at once to prevent the spread of disease. 

The disease that's already here and now is messianism. In the messianic world, there is a popular saying that goes "when it's time to act for God, they violate Your Torah"; what it means is that in times of struggle, what is normally nonkosher becomes a mitzvah, or commandment. This same logic, in its secular version, drove a right-winger like Dagan to thunder out a warning in order to prevent a catastrophe and thousands of victims, and a centrist like Peres to whisper his own warning about the impending existential threat.

Now is the time to mobilize for Israel. Thousands of young people created the Haganah and Palmach prestate undergrounds, and later the IDF itself. Thousands of young people can once again save the IDF and Israel from catastrophe.

A real Israel Defense Forces will arise only when the army that has replaced it - the Israel Divine Offense Forces, the army that is leading us to destruction - is dismantled. Netanyahu, Gantz, the "murdered" of the Altalena, the World Zionist Organization's Settlement Division and God all seem to be quickening their steps in a way that will lead thousands of young people to decide that for Israel's sake, they have a duty not to join such an army.

ISRAEL: Barbara Streisand's cousin has been denied citizenship in Israel!

Dale Streisand who is a cousin to Barbara Streisand has been denied a visa to Israel on the ground of a law passed in Israel on December 25, 1989 that states: if a Jewish person believes in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah, then they are not allowed to immigrate to Israel.

Dale married a Christian woman from the Philippines and he wanted his family to move to Israel but was rejected.

What does this mean?  It basically means that Yeshua is BANNED in Israel.  He was banned 2000 years ago and today his Jewish followers are banned.  ONLY Jews who believe in Jesus (Yeshua) as the Jewish Messiah, are not allowed to immigrate Israel. 

HOWEVER,  Dale wants to live in Israel, therefore he has stated to the Israeligovernment that he has embraced Orthodox Judaism and has no links to anymore to friends who believe in Yeshua (Jesus).

pressure in Israel "not to believe in Yeshua (Jesus)" is extreme

 Dale and his family

Today Messianic Jews are persecuted in Israel.  Discrimination runs in every way of life, some have not been allowed to rent out apartments, children have been discriminated against and ostracized (some have not been allowed to attend their school), many have been thrown out of their homes when their parents find out about their new faith in Yeshua (Jesus), some Israelis even been beaten up for their faith, many have not received promotions at work, and many have been fired from their jobs, and the list goes on.  Some Jewish Believers have been put in the airport Prison and deported simply because of their faith in Yeshua.

BLOGGER COMMENT: I have received the above news in my e-mail box. Having read it, I wondered:

1. How about the Palestinians in the diaspora who are denied the right to return?
2. How about Israeli Palestinians who are hardly making living in Israel?.
3. How about Palestinians who are persecuted, rounded up and thrown in jails almost on daily basis?
4. How about the Ultra-orthodox rabbis calling on the Jews not to rent apartments to Palestinians?.
5. How about Palestinians who are evicted from their homes under false pretexts?
6. How about illegal settlements on Palestinian land
7. How about, how about, how about?...
