Gestern haben Sanitäter mit
der Familie der in der vergangenen Woche erschossenen
Sanitäterin Razan al-Najjar einen Marsch entlang der
Ostgrenze von Gaza durchgeführt. - 9. 6. 2018 - Die
21-Jährige wurde getötet, als israelische Truppen in der
Nähe des Zauns östlich von Khan Younis das Feuer auf
Dutzende von Demonstranten eröffneten. Al-Najjar kümmerte
sich um verwundete Demonstranten.
Ihre Mutter Sabreen erklärte, warum sie an der Demonstration
teilnahm. "Für mich ist hierher zu kommen mächtiger als
Worte." Ich bin gekommen, um die Mission meiner Tochter zu
erfüllen...... Wir werden unermüdlich weiterarbeiten, bis
die ganze Welt unsere Botschaft bekommt."

What does the IDF have to hide about the Gaza killings?
- Haggai Matar - 16. 6. 2018 - The Israeli army is
claiming that at least 12 of the 60 Palestinians it killed
in Gaza on Monday were attacking soldiers when they were
shot, but it refuses to answer why it killed the other 48. (Updated
below.)

forces near Rafah in southern Gaza on May 11, succumbed to
his wounds the next day. (Abed Rahim Khatib/ Flash90)
Israeli soldiers killed 60 Palestinian protesters on Monday
in Gaza’s bloodiest day since the 2014 war. Over the course
of the last month and half, the IDF killed an additional 49
Palestinian protesters in Gaza, and wounded thousands more
with live fire.
In late march, just hours after Israeli snipers killed 17
protesters on the first day of the Gaza Return March, the
IDF Spokesperson tweeted: “Nothing was carried out
uncontrolled; everything was accurate and measured, and we
know where every bullet landed.”
The tweet was later deleted, perhaps because of requests
form journalists that the army explain specific bullets —
for example, the one that struck and killed an unarmed man
running away from the border fence, or the killing of
journalists Yaser Murtaja and Ahmed Abu Hussein — that the
army could not, or would not, explain.

Four more Palestinians are killed, as Israeli snipers shoot
117 at Gaza border - Kate - June 9, 2018 - Health
ministry: ‘Israel soldiers killed 4 Palestinians, injured
686, in Gaza’
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has confirmed that
Israeli soldiers killed four Palestinians, including one
child, and injured 618 others, including five journalists,
26 children and 14 women, and added that 117 of the wounded
were shot with live fire, among them eight who suffer very
serious injuries.
The Health Ministry said a Palestinian, identified as Ziad
Jadallah al-Breem, 27, was killed by Israeli army fire east
of Khuza‘a town, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part
of the Gaza Strip. The army also killed a Palestinian child,
identified as Haitham Mohammad Khalil al-Jamal, 15, from
Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. It added that
the soldiers also killed Emad Nabil Abu Drabi, 26, near the
Great Return Camp, east of Jabalia, in northern Gaza. In
addition, the soldiers killed Yousef al-Faseeh, 29, with
live fire, east of Gaza City.
Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry
in the Gaza Strip, said the soldiers shot at least 92
Palestinians with live fire, and 19 others who were injured
by shrapnel from the bullets. He added that the army also
shot five journalists, including Mohammad al-Baba, who works
for the French Press Agency and was injured with a live
round in his thigh. Dr. al-Qedra also stated that among the
wounded Palestinians are 26 children and 14 women. The rest
of the injured Palestinians suffered cuts and bruises, in
addition to the severe effects of teargas inhalation. One of
the wounded Palestinians was directly shot with a
high-velocity gas bomb in his upper jaw that settled in his
mouth, moderately wounding him and causing him to suffer the
severe effects of teargas inhalation.
It is worth mentioning that thousands of Palestinians have
participated in the Great Return March protests, Friday, in
several areas in the coastal region. In a statement, Dr.
al-Qedra said the soldiers have killed 127 Palestinians, and
injured 14700 others, including women, children, medics and
journalists, in the Gaza Strip, since the beginning of the
Great Return March on Palestinian Land, on March 30th, 2018.

Mother of shot Gaza medic: ‘She thought the white coat would
protect her’
KHUZA‘A, Gaza (The Guardian) 8 June by Olive Holmes & Hazem
Balousha — Gaza’s medics have fine-tuned tactics on how to
work in the line of fire without being shot by Israeli
snipers. They wear white jackets with reflective,
high-visibility stripes. Teams move slowly and deliberately
towards casualties with their hands raised above their heads,
past piles of burning tyres and plumes of white teargas
smoke. As they approach the metal fence, they come within
speaking distance of troops on the other side. They shout
out in unison: “Don’t shoot. There are wounded.” They
believe there is no way that anyone might misidentify them
in Gaza’s open fields, but medical workers across the
coastal strip – which Israel occupied for 38 years until
2005 and over which it enforces a strict land and naval
blockade – are coming to the same terrifying conclusion. The
strategy is not working. Razan al-Najjar, a volunteer health
worker, took all the precautions, her colleagues say, but
she was still killed when she was struck in the chest by a
bullet last Friday. The 21-year-old was the second medic to
be killed in a 10-week Palestinian demonstration movement,
and Gaza’s ministry of health says 25 others have been hit
with live fire. Faris al-Qidra, who was on shift with Najjar
when she died, said she and four others had gone to rescue a
man hit in the face with a teargas canister 20 metres from
the perimeter. “He was crying out ‘help me,’” the
31-year-old paramedic said, adding that Najjar was always
ready to go forward, even when soldiers fired warning shots.
“The soldiers usually scream for us to go back,” he said …
Sabrine believes her daughter was targeted. She held up
Razan’s jacket, which was once white but it now brownish
with dried blood. “Palestinian Medical Relief Society” is
written on the back and a small bullet hole is visible.
“This was the weapon she had,” said Sabrine. “This was her
terrorist badge,” she said, showing her daughter’s medical
ID. “These were her explosives,” she added, pulling out
bandages Razan kept in her pockets. “She was close enough to
talk to the soldiers. Does she look like a terrorist?”….

Israeli army frames slain medic Razan al-Najjar as ‘Hamas
human shield’
Mondoweiss 7 June by Jonathan Ofir — Just when you thought
Israel couldn’t get any lower… The Israeli army has just
released an incitement video, titled “Hamas’ use of human
shields must stop”, in which it frames the slain medic Razan
al-Najjar as a “Hamas human shield”– a day after it claimed
she was killed by accident. This is more than adding insult
to injury. This is adding malice to crime. The propaganda
effort is based on twisting al-Najjar’s own words. I have
consulted with three Arabic experts, who have looked at the
original Arabic interview from which the IDF took the “human
shield” text, and it is clear to them beyond a doubt that
the IDF was knowingly and cynically manipulating Razan’s
words to mean something other than what she said. Bear with
me, this requires close analysis: First the video features
Razan throwing away a gas grenade in the field. Obviously,
this is one of the tear gas grenades fired by the Israeli
army, which she is taking up and throwing to a safe
distance. By this visual, the IDF is trying to create the
impression that Razan is a kind of ‘combatant’. Then comes
the short clip from an interview. The original interview has
been found to be from Al Mayadeen News, a channel based in
Beirut. The IDF video runs subtitles, saying: “I am Razan
al-Najjar, I am here on the frontlines and I act as a human
shield…” That’s all the IDF needs. Now, with the ominous
music in the background, the IDF text states: “Hamas uses
paramedics as human shields”. But the IDF cut out a very
significant part of the sentence. Razan actually says: “I
the Paramedic Razan al-Najjar, I am here on the Front Line
acting as a human shield of safety to protect the injured at
the Front Line. No one encouraged me on being a Paramedic, I
encouraged myself. I wanted to take chances and help people…”

Was man nicht sieht, gibt es nicht?
Israelische Soldaten töten gezielt Pressefotografen.
Gaza-Berichterstattung: Höhepunkt des politischen Zynismus
- 19.05.2018 - Angesichts des Massakers der schießwütigen
israelischen Soldateska vor dem sogenannten "israelischen
Grenzzaun" letzten Montag haben deutsche Politiker und
Medien wieder einmal total versagt.
Deren scheinheilige Verteidigung des bewundernswerten
"Judenstaats", der angeblich "einzigen Demokratie" im Nahen
Osten, die nichts Böses tun kann, war der vorläufige
Höhepunkt des politischen Zynismus, wie aus den vom
israelischen Professor Moshe Zuckermann geschilderten realen
Verhältnissen im Apartheidstaat Israel deutlich wird. -
Rainer Rupp
Wenn vor dem Hintergrund der allein am letzten Montag mit
gezielten Schüssen getöteten 52 palästinensischen
Jugendlichen und der über 1.200 zum Teil schwerverletzten
Menschen verharmlosend von "gewalttätigen
Auseinandersetzungen" gesprochen wird, als hätte es sich um
eine 1.-Mai-Demo in Berlin gehandelt, dann ist das eine
ungeheuerliche Beleidigung der unterdrückten und künstlich
im Elend gehalten Menschen im Freiluftkerker Gaza.
Tatsächlich steht die deutsche Propagandapresse in ihrer
Berichterstattung der menschenverachtenden Erklärung zum
gleichen Anlass von Präsident Trumps Schwiegersohn und
Sonderbeauftragten für Israel, Jared Kushner, kaum nach. Der
glühende Zionist und enge Freund des israelischen
Ministerpräsidenten Benjamin gab am Rande der Festlichkeiten
zur Eröffnung der neuen US-Botschaft in Jerusalem mit einer
"Logik" vom Feinsten den ermordeten und zu Krüppeln
geschossenen Palästinensern selbst die Schuld; O-Ton Kushner:
"Wie wir aus den Protesten des letzten Monats und auch heute
gesehen haben, sind diese provozierenden Gewalttaten Teil
des Problems und nicht Teil der Lösung."

"Wir können nicht alle Leute ins Gefängnis stecken"
Nach jedem Massaker an geknechteten Arbeiter in den
hochprofitablen Goldminen Südafrikas, die es gewagt hatten,
zu streiken, oder an demonstrierenden Schülern und Studenten
waren die Ermordeten selbst Schuld. Sie hätten sich eben
ruhig verhalten sollen. Das ist die Logik von Faschisten und
Rassisten. Und mit denen kennt sich die aus dem Kampf gegen
das Apartheidregime siegreich hervorgegangene Regierung des
befreiten Südafrika besonders gut aus. Anlässlich der
jüngsten israelischen Massenmorde in Gaza zogen die
Südafrikaner Klartext der ziselierten Diplomatensprache vor.
Anders als die deutschen Linken hat auch der Chef der
britische Oppositionspartei Labour Jeremy Corbyn nicht
gezögert, die Massaker an Unbewaffneten als Massaker zu
bezeichnen und die Täter beim Namen zu nennen, auch wenn sie
Israelis sind. Welch ein erbärmliches Bild boten dagegen die
deutschen Linken.

Freedom
Flotilla: Meet the 85-year-old woman trying to break the
Gaza siege - 4 June, 2018 - Among the Freedom
Flotilla family, which seeks to deliver aid to the besieged
Gaza Strip, is an 85-year-old American woman who flew all
the way from California to a port in Scandinavia to assert
her solidarity with Palestine.
Barbara, a doctor, became immersed in the Palestinian cause
nearly 10 years ago after familiarising herself with brutal
Israeli occupation. Before that, she specialised in
obstetrics in the United States and volunteered in various
Latin American countries with her husband.
"I arrived from California on May 17 to join the Freedom
Flotilla team, with dozens of different nationalities, I am
the mother of many children and the grandmother of many more,
but above all, I am a human being. We are facing a
humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza," she told The New Arab.
"People in the United States show little regard for what's
going on outside the country, and I'm never impressed by my
country's policy in the Arab region," she said.
For Barbara, Palestine is a humanitarian issue above
anything else and believes anyone who has the ability to
help Palestinians suffering under apartheid, a brutal
occupation and a crippling siege has the responsibility to
do so.
"The issue of Palestine should be one that the whole of
humanity becomes responsible for. Every human being who sees
themselves as part of humanity has the responsibility to do
anything for this symbolic issue to highlight the absence of
justice. People must strive to recapture even just a small
part of that lost justice in the siege of a people in a
large prison, Gaza."
Breaking the siege
The four-strong Freedom Flotilla fleet set sail late last
month for the Gaza Strip to challenge Israel's decade-old
blockade of the besieged territory.
The al-Awda, Arabic for 'The Return', vessel set sail a week
ago from Norway and linked up with three other boats in
Copenhagen, Denmark, on Sunday, before beginning a tour of
European ports which will end in the Gaza Strip.
The boat was named to commemorate the 70th anniversary of
the Nakba, or Catastrophe, in which more than 700,000
Palestinians fled or were forcibly expelled from their homes
during the establishment of the Israeli state.
This year's freedom flotilla comes just weeks after Israeli
forces opened fire on demonstrators in Gaza protesting for
the right of return, killing more than 60.
"The blockade of Gaza is in its 11th year. It is such a
gross violation of international law that it can be
characterised as a crime against humanity," participant
Mikkel Grüner, a Danish national who is city councillor in
Bergen, Norway, said.
Volunteers are joining the multinational fleet for different
legs of the journey, with a select group assigned to
participate in the final run to Gaza.

Friedensprozess ohne Lösung - Gastkommentar: Palästinenser
sind am Tiefpunkt angekommen - Seit Monaten
protestieren die Bewohner von Gaza gegen ihre ausweglose
Situation. Doch die Palästinenser haben längst jeden
Fürsprecher verloren, meint Bettina Marx von der
Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Ramallah.
Noch nie war die Lage der Palästinenser so aussichtslos wie
derzeit. 70 Jahre nach der Staatsgründung Israels und 51
Jahre nach dem Sechstage-Krieg, in dem Israel sich die
palästinensischen Gebiete im Westjordanland und in Gaza
angeeignet hat, stehen sie buchstäblich vor dem Nichts. Alle
Hoffnungen auf einen eigenen Staat haben sich nicht erfüllt.
Der sogenannte Friedensprozess, der vor 25 Jahren mit den
Oslo-Verträgen begonnen hat, muss inzwischen als gescheitert
angesehen werden. Der ehemalige israelische
Ministerpräsident Ariel Sharon hatte ihn schon im Januar
2001 für tot erklärt. Heute scheut sich sein Nachfolger,
Regierungschef Benjamin Netanjahu, nicht mehr, die dem
Friedensprozess zu Grunde liegende Idee der Schaffung eines
palästinensischen Staates an der Seite Israels offen
abzulehnen. Bei seinem kürzlichen Besuch in Berlin leugnete
er sogar, dass Israel die palästinensischen Gebiete
überhaupt besetze. Vor der Presse sagte er, Abraham sei
schon vor 4000 Jahren in das Land zwischen Mittelmeer und
Jordan gekommen und habe damit den jüdischen Anspruch
begründet. Nur zufällig hielten sich in seinem Land auch
Palästinenser auf.
Bittere Folgen für die Palästinenser - Doch so bizarr
diese Auffassung klingen mag, für die Palästinenser hat sie
bittere Folgen. Denn sie bedeutet, dass ihre Existenz von
Israel nur geduldet wird, dass ihre Ansprüche auf ihre
Heimat, auf Gleichberechtigung und nationale
Selbstbestimmung von Israel nicht anerkannt werden. Ihr im
Völkerrecht verbriefter Widerstand gegen die Besatzung wird
von Israel als illegitimer Aufstand gegen die rechtmäßigen
Herren des Landes und als Terrorismus angesehen und
entsprechend verfolgt. Die israelischen Gefängnisse sind
voll von Palästinensern, die sich nicht unter das
israelische Joch beugen wollen. Selbst Minderjährige werden
vor die Militärgerichte gestellt, die mit einer
Verurteilungsquote von fast 100 Prozent aufwarten können.
Jede Nacht durchstreifen schwer bewaffnete
Militärpatrouillen die besetzten Gebiete, reißen Familien
aus den Betten, fotografieren Jugendliche, um sie später als
Steinewerfer identifizieren zu können und verhaften junge
Männer und zunehmend auch Frauen.
Selbst Ramallah, die Stadt, in der die palästinensische
Autonomiebehörde ihren Sitz hat und die nach den
Oslo-Verträgen unter ausschließlicher palästinensischer
Verwaltung und Sicherheitskontrolle steht, bleibt nicht
verschont von diesen nächtlichen Razzien. In den Dörfern des
Westjordanlandes, dort wo die Palästinenser seit Beginn des
Friedensprozesses immer mehr Land an die Siedler verlieren,
dort, wo ihnen der Zugang zu ihren Feldern und Brunnen
verwehrt wird, werden Jugendliche, die gegen die
Besatzungsarmee aufbegehren, verhaftet oder erschossen. Am
Rand des Gazastreifens wurden bei den Protesten der
vergangenen Wochen mehr als 100 Menschen von israelischen
Scharfschützen getötet. Unter den Opfern waren auch
Behinderte, Journalisten, Sanitäter und Kinder. Israel habe
genug Kugeln für jeden Demonstranten, sagte der
Likud-Abgeordnete Avi Dichter. Und die Armee twitterte, man
reagiere akkurat und maßvoll und wisse genau, wo jede Kugel
lande.
