"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 640, May 17, 2013: Punishment of Stone-Throwing Palestinian Children
UNICEF has published a report with respect to Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children which confirms a previous one by the United Nations Children Fund Some 7,000 Palestinian children were arrested in the past decade, an average of 700 per year.

"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 639, May 10, 2013: Something Is Rotten in the State of Israel
Sooner or later everyone possessing a humane conscience, to say nothing of a functioning honest nose, will refuse to have anything to do with this "apartheid-like" state.

Human rights watchdog B’Tselem published a video showing Israel’s armored tanker trucks fitted with “water canons” spraying the foul fluid.

"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 636, April 19, 2013: Archaeology As Cultural Survival: The Future Of The Palestinian Past
Having long been overlooked in archaeological research, the number of excavations in the Gaza Strip has multiplied since the establishment in 1995 of the Department of Antiquities in Gaza, a branch of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of the Palestinian National Authority.
Plans to build a national archaeological museum also promise to highlight the rich history of Gaza city, which has been described as, "one of the world's oldest living cities."
