"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 499, Sept. 3, 2010: Israel: Land of intolerance
Racism is so pervasive in Israel that even Jews face discrimination if they are "not Jewish enough"
Arab Israelis have always been victims of state-sanctioned discrimination in matters of marriage, land ownership, education, health, employment and law. But Israeli discrimination does not stop there. Israel even discriminates against some forms of Judaism and against Jews it decides are "not Jewish enough". Consider the case of Hillary Rubin, who moved to Israel from Detroit in 2006 but is now being forced to leave the country in order to get married.
"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 498, Aug. 27, 2010: The One-State solution
Is a binational state the solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict?
Jews and Palestinians living together in one state? Is this possible?
Let us start from the assumption that Israelis want what everyone wants: security, peace, respect, freedom from fear and the feeling that their children will live normal, happy lives. None of these are possible while Israelis stick with political Zionism. Deep down Israelis know this. So why not one state?
"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 497, Aug. 20, 2010:How Israel sabotages the Two States Solution
There are various proposals for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but they really boil down to just two: the one state solution vs. the two state solution.
At first glance, the two state solution seems logical. After all, in 1947 the UN recommended the partition of Palestine into two states. This was the supposed justification for Israel’s unilateral declaration of independence in 1948.
"End the occupation !" PAJU Vigil # 496, Aug. 13, 2010: Water in Jordan Valley "is not for Palestinians"
We had come to the Jordan Valley to visit one of the region’s most vulnerable communities: the one of Al Fasayel.
Lack of access to water has long been a problem for Palestinians in the Jordan Valley. Since it occupied the West Bank in 1967, Israel has denied the Palestinians access to the waters of the Jordan River and severely limited their access to local aquifers.
