Israele: a 225 Palestinesi proibita l'entrata in Israele per il Memorial Day

-



 Sintesi personale
 Oltre 200 palestinesi non hanno ricevuto i  permessi di accesso israeliani per partecipare a una cerimonia annuale commemorativa con le famiglie israeliane che hanno subito  un attacco terroristico perpetrato da un palestinese 
Negli ultimi 12 anni  ParentsCircleFamiliesForum,un'organizzazione israeliana-palestinese  insieme ai Combattenti per la Pace, ha organizzato una cerimonia alternativa  al  Memorial Day
La cerimonia prevede  testimonianze sia  israeliane che palestinesi ed è finalizzata "a commemorare il ricordo delle vittime del conflitto e  il comune dolore "L'evento si terrà lunedì sera, l'inizio del Memorial Day  a  Tel Aviv. . Sembra  che i 225 partecipanti palestinesi non potranno parteciparvi 
IIl  generale Yoav Mordechai  ha deciso di annullare i permessi di ingresso richiesti dagli organizzatori dell'evento ,dopo l'attacco di un residente di Nablus di 18 anni  che  ha pugnalato quattro israeliani a Tel Aviv, ferendoli lievemente.
Il presunto terrorista aveva un permesso di ingresso in Israele di un giorno, rilasciato su richiesta di Natural Peace Tours, un'agenzia di viaggi  per i Palestinesi con sede in Israele, finalizzata a   migliorare i rapporti tra israeliani e palestinesi.
I due gruppi, che hanno organizzato la cerimonia, hanno invitato Mordechai e il ministro della Difesa Avigdor Lieberman a concedere permessi ai palestinesi per poter partecipare alla cerimonia. " Questo  evento  riesce a portare gli israeliani e i palestinesi  su un unico palcoscenico per inviare  un messaggio unitario di  pace".

Army suspends all permits, including those for participants in joint Israeli-Palestinian memorial ceremony, after stabbing attack in Tel Aviv
haaretz.com
 Over 200 Palestinians did not receive Israeli entry permits in order to participate in an annual joint memorial ceremony with bereaved Israeli families, due to a terror attack perpetrated by a Palestinian in Tel Aviv on Sunday.

 For the past 12 years, The Parents Circle Families Forum, an Israeli-Palestinian organization for those who have lost family members to the conflict, along with Combatants for Peace, have held an alternative Memorial Day ceremony which has been attended by thousands of people.

 The ceremony includes both Israeli and Palestinian speakers and is intended “to commemorate the memory of the victims of the conflict and the shared pain,” say organizers. The event will be held on Monday evening, the beginning of Memorial Day in Israel, at the Shlomo Group Arena next to the Tel Aviv Convention Center. As of now, it seems that the 225 Palestinian participants will not be able to attend.

 The Israel Defense Forces’ coordinator of government activities in the territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, decided to cancel the entry permits requested by the event's organizers after Sunday's stabbing attack, in which an 18-year-old resident of Nablus in the West Bank stabbed four Israelis in Tel Aviv, lightly injuring them.

 The alleged terrorist had a one-day Israeli entry permit, issued at the request of Natural Peace Tours, a travel and tourism agency for Palestinians based in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. The tours are intended to improve relations between Israelis and Palestinians.

 After the attack, Mordechai suspended Israeli entry permits for all institutions and organizations, including the 225 permits for those invited to attend Monday's memorial ceremony, until an investigation is completed.

 The Palestinians have taken preliminary steps to petition the High Court of Justice for the second time on the matter, although they haven't made a second request for permits from the coordinator, said the organizers of the event. They also noted that the coordination unit can grant the Palestinians special permission to enter Israel, but that has not happened.

 The two groups organizing the ceremony called on Mordechai and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to grant permits to the Palestinians so they could attend the ceremony. “The Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony is one of the few events in Israel that succeeds in bringing Israelis and Palestinians together on one stage and providing a public message on behalf of peace,” said Combatants for Peace.

Sergio della Pergola :Perchè non condivido quanto scrive Giulio Meotti sulla demografia in Israele

-
Con grande malinconia ho letto l'articolo di Meotti sul Foglio, riportato da IC il 29.12 . E' una rassegna abbastanza completa di molte delle opinioni piu' allucinate e pazzesche che circolano oggi in Israele, che tuttavia non lascia spazio alcuno alle opinioni piu' equilibrate e sobrie che pur sempre esistono, e di fatto prevalgono amp iamente nell'opinione pubblica del paese. Pensare a Israele nei termini della Bosnia-Erzegovina, o del Libano, o perfino di Cipro significa aver rinunciato all'idea di uno stato d'Israele ebraico e democratico. Proporre il modello yugoslavo o quello libanese come esempi ideali per la soluzione di un conflitto multi-etnico offende il buon senso e assume l'aria di una provocazione. Non bisogna dare corda a queste opinioni di piccoli gruppi di estremisti, i cosiddetti 100.000 maggiormente ideologizzati, deridendo o ignorando i molti milioni di moderati, Meotti intanto sbaglia come gia' in passato i numeri. Il numero d...

Aeyal Gross : Israel's discrimination of Bedouin gets high court stamp of approval

-
      Israel's discrimination of Bedouin gets high court stamp of approval By rejecting displaced Bedouin’s appeal on a procedural basis, the High Court is perpetuating a historic injustice. HAARETZ.COM “This court is not the address for creating chaos,” stated Justice Elyakim Rubinstein last week in rejecting the appeal of Bedouin residents of the unrecognized Negev settlement of Umm al-Hiran. In the ruling, Rubinstein notes that the residents – who are slated to be evicted, and whose houses are to be demolished to make way for the construction of the Jewish town of Hiran – have been living in this place for 60 years, after moving to the Nahal Yatir area in 1956 at the orders of the military governor, and that the eviction and demolition of the 50 or so structures they built will affect the lives of hundreds of people. However, he still believes that the eviction is reasonable and proportional, in light of the fact that the l...

Yes, Zionism is Settler Colonialism

While I personally… rabbibrant.com Is Zionism “settler colonialism?” It’s an important question that is increasingly invoked in public debates over Israel/Palestine – and BDS in particular. While I personally do believe Israel to be a settler colonial state, I think it’s critical to understand what we mean when we use this term, what it means in the context of Israel/Palestine, and its implications for the wider struggle against systems of oppression in the US and throughout the world. Let’s start with the definition itself. Many people use the term “settler colonialism” and “colonialism” interchangeably, but they are not in fact the same thing. Colonialism is defined by the Collins Dictionary as “t he policy and ...
