RAMALLAH, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Israeli army on Monday opened fire at a Palestinian teenage boy and killed him in the West Bank city of Jericho, Palestinian witnesses reported.
The witnesses said that 16-year-old Raakan Keyd Nasariyat was shot dead by Israeli army when he approach a checkpoint in Jordan Valley, north of Jericho. Comment: If the soldiers are under such strain, why don't they and they compatriots leave Palestine for good? It isn't their land. They have no right to it, other than the right of might. 'God' never gave the land to any 'Chosen People'. That is all a myth, one designed to foment war.

JERUSALEM, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Around 40 percent of Israeli settlements, including long-standing communities, were built on private Palestinian land, said a report released on Tuesday by Israeli settlement watchdog group Peace Now.
"We are talking about an institutional land grab," Dror Etkes, director of Peace Now's Settlements Watch Project, said in a press conference held in Jerusalem, adding that the land in question amounted to 60 square km. Comment: Of course the illegal settlements are largely on stolen land. All of Israel is on stolen land.
But even from the perspective of the Zionist state, the fact that the seizures were illegal works to its advantage. While enouraging the land theft through subsidies to settlers, it can turn to the international community and say, "Hey, we have laws against this sort of thing! Don't blame us for the actions of a few crazy people!" All the while, Israel's plan to drive out or annihilate the Palestinians continues, on many fronts at once. It is hard to imagine that the illegal settlements will really disturb Israeli lawmakers when at the same time, the Gaza has been turned into a permanent war zone. Now tell us: what is the source of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? |

20 November 2006 Palestinians may not ride in cars with Israeli license plates, according to a new rule announced today by Israeli authorities. Palestinians are already barred from driving on 40% of the roads in the West Bank, which are designated 'Jewish-only', and cars with Palestinian license plates (apart from taxis) are not permitted to travel outside of the owner's home town.
Now, with the new rule, Palestinians will not even be permitted to ride as passengers in Israeli-plated cars, thus further isolating the civilian population of Palestine behind what much of the world has termed an 'Apartheid' Wall. |
