NOVANEWS Dear Friends, The women whom  you read about below are human beings, but are not treated as such by Israel.  For those of you who do not know about Administrative Detention, please see B'tselem http://www.btselem.org/english/Administrative_Detention/ .  In brief, AD is imprisonment without trial.  The charges are kept from the prisoner and the defense lawyer, so that even were there a trial, it is next to impossible to defend.  Detention can be up to 6 months, which can be rolled over again and again, adding up to years.  Often AD is used when the prosecution and military authorities have no case but want to have the person (sometimes a non-violent activist against the occupation) taken, for whatever reason. Remember these ladies when you hear again and again pleas for the release...

NOVANEWS Coffee with Jameel El Sayyed21 Sep 2010 Jameel El-Sayyed may have the right to be angry if he was indeed framed for the assassination of Rafik Hariri. He has the right to express his anger in private and in public while seeking appropriate retribution through legal means; a process he had anyway initiated through Syrian courts. What is less acceptable is for him to turn his vendetta into the main flashpoint for further conflict on the Lebanese scene. His unrelentless confrontational campaign to drag humiliating concessions out of Hariri  can only lead to one outcome: further sectarian bloodshed. General Sayyed is no Hugo Chavez and will not be spontaneously carried on the shoulders of jubilant youths whatever the efforts of Hezbollah and their compromised allies.  His adoptio...

NOVANEWS Yediot: NIS 9 million for settlement "tourism", including 2 million for "City of David" in Silwan Didi Remez | September 20, 2010  Categories: Diplomacy, Settlement Freeze | URL: http://wp.me/pHlQV-JT The fact that these grants will fund highly politicized and inflammatory projects is best exemplified by the NIS 2 million slated for the "City of David" project in Silwan. This East Jerusalem settlement in the guise of an "archeological park" is at the cutting edge of efforts to insert Israelis in Palestinian communities around the Old City basin. Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov [Israel Beiteinu] provides a policy-oriented explanation for the funding: “The Tourism Ministry attaches great importance to developing tourism in Judea and Samaria, which is the basis for [th...

NOVANEWS  Apologize for sending more, but this letter below flowed in just as I was to send my message to you.  If by any chance any of you know Pete Seeger, please try to convince him not to participate in the event. I respect the man very much, but his intention to participate in the "With Earth and Each Other": Virtual Rally for a Better Middle East is in error.  Am sure that he thinks that it will help bring peace, whereas in truth it is all for the sake of a better image of Israel, as if its leaders really want peace.  First justice, my friends.  Then peace.  Do you see Netanyahu offering the Palestinians justice?  No?  Neither do I.  Thanks, Dorothy From: Eldad To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; From: F Nagel To: MECRresource@yahoogroups.com ; DutchessGreens@yahoogroups.com ; DutchessPeace@...

NOVANEWS I just stumbled on this article by Faisal Bodi in The Guardian. I could call it timely but being titled Israel simply has no right to exist, as long as the State of Israel exists it will always be as timely as it was when it was first published in January 2001. I remember when it was first published. It is one of maybe two articles that have zionists whingeing that The Guardian is anti-Israel but have a read of it. It's all very straight forward: Several years ago, I suggested in my students' union newspaper that Israel shouldn't exist. I also said the sympathy evoked by the Holocaust was a very handy cover for Israeli atrocities. Overnight I became public enemy number one. I was a Muslim fundamentalist, a Jew-hater, somebody who trivialised the memory of the most abominable a...
