• كيف هرب القذافي الى الجحيم؟
  6 كانون الأول (ديسمبر) 2011, بقلم ريمون عطاالله
  بصرف النظر عن طبيعة الحكم العشوائي الذي كان قائماً في ليبيا بقيادة العقيد المغدور معمر القذافي، فقد كان الزعيم الليبي الراحل رجلاً ذا نكهة في السياسة العربية والدولية. ومما يزيد من طعم نكهته ان الذين انقلبوا عليه من اهل حكمه، بدفع من قوى خارجية، كانوا طيلة عقود ينفذون ارادته من غير نقاش، وهم الذين ارتكبوا بأيديهم ما نسبوه تالياً اليه لادانته. واسطع دليل على ذلك مصطفى عبدالجليل رئيس المجلس الانتقالي نفسه الذي كان وزيراً للعدل في زمن القذافي، حيث كانت العدالة في ايامه عدالة قراقوشية تشهد عليها (…)
• Israël envisagerait de doubler le nombre de colons en Cisjordanie
  2 mars 2009
  Le gouvernement sortant israélien a préparé des plans de colonisation intensive visant à quasiment doubler le nombre de colons en Cisjordanie occupée, selon un rapport publié, lundi 2 mars, par le mouvement anti-colonisation La Paix maintenant. Ces plans de colonisation, élaborés par le ministère de l’habitat et qui doivent encore être soumis par le prochain gouvernement de droite, prévoient la construction de 73 000 logements dans les prochaines années, dont 5 700 dans des quartiers de (…)
• Murdering Palestinians for their organs: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"
  24 August 2009, by Saed Bannoura
  Former Palestinian detainee, researcher Abdul-Nasser Farwana, stated that all facts on the ground, since decades, prove that the Israeli occupation executed Palestinian detainees after they surrendered and refused to hand their bodies to their families. Hundreds of bodies were transferred to the families days, months or even years after the fact, and when the bodies were sent back, they were missing vital internal organs.

• Birth of a settlement
  22 May 2009, by Joseph Dana, Mairav Zonszein
  Hilltop 26 is the name of an illegal settlement outpost atop a tranquil, windswept hill just outside Kiryat Arba, in the southern West Bank. From its top, one can see the red roofs of the Jewish settlement to the south and, in the distance, the outskirts of the holy city of Hebron. Over the past two months, adolescent settlers from Kiryat Arba have built a structure atop Hilltop 26 that they use as a clubhouse for eating, studying and hanging out. Although Hilltop 26 was dismantled in 1999, (…)
• Barak Approves More Settlement Units Before Heading To Talk “Peace” in Washington
  30 June 2009
  Hours before he took off to Washington for talks with the US administration on peace and settlements, Israeli Army Minister, Ehud Barak, approved the construction of a new settlement in the so-called Benyamin region. The approval came as part of a deal with the settlers who were evacuated from the illegal Migron settlement outpost. The settlers would move into a new settlement of 250 houses after they evacuate their outpost built on privately owned Palestinian land. Migron is inhibited (…)
• What about the Arabs’ natural growth?
  2 July 2009, by Akiva Eldar
  It seems that never before has so much been written and said about the "natural growth" of so few. The issue of construction in the West Bank settlements for the sake of the future generation is threatening to sabotage Israel’s relations with the U.S., or undermine Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s relations with the settlers and their representatives in the Likud and Israel’s right wing. Maybe it is no coincidence that the government spokespeople insist on describing the homes for "sons (…)
• Nouvelle provocation israélienne à Jérusalem-Est
  23 juillet 2009
  Les autorités israéliennes ont délégué la gestion d’une partie du quartier palestinien de Silwan, à Jérusalem-Est, à l’organisation radicale de colons Elad, dont le but est d’étendre la présence juive dans la partie orientale de la ville, a affirmé hier une ONG israélienne. « Cela a été fait en catimini, en violation flagrante des règles de bonne gouvernance et dans certains cas en violation de la loi, sans décision officielle et publique de la part du gouvernement ou de la Knesset (…)
• A Jérusalem-Est, le quartier Al-Boustan s’organise contre sa destruction annoncée
  18 mars 2009, par Michel Bôle-Richard
  La résistance s’est organisée. Une grande tente a été dressée et un comité de défense a été désigné. Le quartier Al-Boustan ("le jardin") à Jérusalem-Est est sur le pied de guerre. Les autorités israéliennes ont projeté de démolir 88 maisons pour y créer un parc. Le projet date de quatre ans, mais il vient d’être remis sur la table, et des ordres de démolition ont été notifiés aux 1 500 habitants de ces maisons qui, dit la mairie, ont été construites sans permis de construire. "Certaines (…)
• Devouring Jerusalem
  1 May 2009, by Khalid Amayreh
  In its increasingly rabid efforts to consolidate control of traditionally Arab-East Jerusalem, Israel this week moved to suppress Palestinian cultural activities associated with the city being declared the capital of Arab culture for 2009. On 19 March heavily armed paramilitary police violently dispersed a meeting at the Ambassador Hotel in East Jerusalem, confiscating posters, leaflets, placards and computers. Israeli police also raided schools, social clubs and community centres to (…)
