| 7/7/06 | Gaza fury: Israeli street protests & critical media voices |
|
TOI-Billboard, July 7, 2006 (…) The army has to deploy a whole elite regiment against a single Gaza Strip neighborhood without even entering. You can only imagine how much force would be needed to implement the cabinet’s decision to cut the Gaza Strip in two, or to take over the entire northern Gaza Strip, in order to stop the shooting of Qassams. Gaza is a bottomless hole, swallowing military forces. (…) The Palestinians are fighting seriously. The armed militants throw themselves at the tanks and the armoured personnel carriers, undeterred by their losses. (Alex Fishman, Yediot Aharonot of today, July 7 — who represents an army’s point of view). What follows is a compilation of protests, in action and in writing ~~ Dissident voices in the mainstream & other Israeli media ~~ It’s never too late Look who’s been kidnapped! www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3271505,00.html No strength for silence Esther Wachsman, Haaretz July 4, 2006 www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/733773.html The government is losing its reason Esther Wachsman: It’s the same record playing again Agatha In The Rain Composure is also strength Suffering from a paralysis of thought We must wake up ~~ Protests against Gaza clampdown initiated by different groups on different dates ~~ June 28 Immediate protest in front of Defence Ministry Gush Shalom www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/Gu_vigil.htm www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3268789,00.html June 30 Demonstration at the Gaza border Ometz Lesarev, joined by the Committee against War Crimes www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/Shouting_at_the_canons.htm July 1 500 hundred to protest at PM’s doorstep Yesh Gvul www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3269764,00.html July 3 22500 already signed Ometz prisoners release petition www.publicators.com/tmp/shalit July 5 Protest at Defence Ministry previous to fascism discussion Coalition of Women’ for Peace www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/CWPJune5.htm July 7 Appeal on EU countries Gush Shalom July 8 Demo against invasion in Nazareth, Hadash communists - announced for tomorrow www.geocities.com/toi_billboard/Nazareth.htm ~~Human rights organizations reports and condemnations~~ PHR-Israel www.phr.org.il/phr/cat.asp?catid=55&parentid=45&pcat=-1&lang=ENG B’tselem www.btselem.org/English/index.asp ACRI www.acri.org.il/english-acri/engine/story.asp?id=321 * See also the remarkable call by 300 British Jews What is Israel doing? www.jfjfp.org/indexfiles/Gaza%20ad_times.pdf ~~~ TOI-Billboard updates you in between the issues of our printed newsletter.
