Hunger Strike Comes to an End as Palestinians Commemorate the Nakba [May 13 - May 19]
May 19, 2012
By MIFTAH
|
The mass hunger strike among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails that has been ongoing since April 17 came to an end on Monday, May 14, as an agreement was reached with Israeli Prison Authorities. The around 2,000 prisoners on hunger strike agreed to stop refusing food in exchange for improved conditions. Their protest centered on demands for more family visits, an end to solitary confinement and administrative detention.
A group of prisoners, held in administrative detention launched an earlier strike protesting their detention without charge. Hundreds of the almost 5,000 Palestinians currently imprisoned by Israel are being held under the illegal administrative detention policies, depriving them from the right to fair trials and legal representation.

The Children of Palestine
May 16, 2012
By Julie Holm for MIFTAH
|
Yesterday Palestinians all over the world marked Nakba-day, which commemorates the forced exodus of hundreds of thousands of their kin after the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948. It is a day when Palestinians remember the fatal events 64 years ago and remind each other that they will not give up until Palestine is free. Together with thousands of people I took to the streets of Ramallah, joined by a group of amazing women and their children...

On This Nakba Anniversary, Time to Focus on Palestine
May 14, 2012
By Joharah Baker for MIFTAH
|
Tomorrow marks the 64th anniversary of Al Nakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948. It is a day each year that Palestinians remember the calamity which befell them in order for the State of Israel to be born. The original 800,000 or so Palestinians who fled their homes in fear have now multiplied tenfold. There are over five million registered Palestinian refugees living in camps in Palestine and neighboring Arab countries. And every year, they remember their homes, their lands, and their lost lives to which they still long to return.

How Abu Dis’ Hills Were Stolen in the Night
May 19, 2012
By Lee Baker
In The Electronic Intifada, 18 May. 2012
The young men cheer as their friends rev up the car. The vehicle suddenly hurdles at breakneck speed towards a tight junction that is just meters away, only to halt and swerve back towards us with an alarming screech. The men whoop at the success of the maneuver that has added to the oily skid marks on the road but left them back where they started.

The Justice Ministry has received complaints of severe police violence against demonstrators, including the use of Taser electroshock weapons, beating and kicking bound detainees, racist verbal abuse and sexual harassment of female detainees. The complaints were filed to the ministry's department for investigation of police officers by the Adalah advocacy group two weeks ago, after a demonstration in support of hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners outside the prison clinic in Ramle.

Ordeal of Remembrance

By Fawaz Turki
In Gulf News
To meet deadline, an obligation that political commentators, no less than news reporters, are enjoined by editors against toying with, I have to write this column today -- which just happens to be May 15, the time each year when Palestinians, along with sundry Arabs, commemorate the Nakba, the day in 1948 when Palestine was dismembered and Palestinians were expelled from home and homeland.
