it like it is, genocide

Since the beginning of April, Israel has fired no
less then 2000 artillery shells into Gaza. 26 people were murdered.
No one said a word. We did not get on the front page of the New
York Times, no one condemns their actions. Meanwhile the Israeli
ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people continues and takes on
a multitude of forms - so many in fact that it is hard to keep up
or even begin to speak about how all these devices create a massive
network of forces to wipe us off the face of the earth...

in Nazareth
Ilan
Pappe
16-18 Dec. 2005
Hundreds of Palestinians and Jewish activists gathered
in Nazareth for a three days conference on the Palestinian Right
of Return. The first day, overshadowed by Israeli authorities' refusal
to allow Qasim Qasim, a representative of the refugees network in
Europe, to enter the country and participate in the conference. Participants
could listen to Qasim's speech through a phone call. Other participants
came from the occupied territories and the exilic communities around
the world. Discussions on the second day produced the following declaration.
The third day is dedicated to visits to the destroyed villages of
Palestine.

Heshumah, Infajrat Qunbula: Towards a History of Mizrahim and
Arabic

Mizrahim's relations with the Arabic language are
as problematic as their relations with the Arabs, perhaps even more
so. The foggy zone between Hebrew and Arabic has a history that forces
us to look at the entire Arabic-speaking space, not solely at "Israeli
Society" as the exclusive theater wherein Mizrahi history takes
place.

To change routine denial of parole to long-serving Palestinian 'security prisoners,' commutie the sentences of long-serving prisoners including those holding Israeli citizenship, equate the conditions of incarceration of those classified as 'security prisoners,' equating them to those of other prisoners.

In Times of Crisis
Yael Lerer
16 Nov. 2004
"I was invited to talk about OUR times of crisis—that of Israelis and Palestinians. But before I address THE WORD in times of crisis, I would like to say a few words about THE CRISIS ITSELF. There is no “time of crisis” in Israel/Palestine. There is a permanent state of conflict between colonizer and colonized, occupier and occupied, the privileged and the disenfranchised."
