Haaretz reporter Amira Hass arrested upon leaving Gaza

By Haaretz Service



Israel Police on Tuesday detained Haaretz correspondent Amira Hass upon her exit from the Gaza Strip, where she had been living and reporting over the last few months.

Hass was arrested and taken in for questioning immediately after crossing the border, for violating a law which forbids residence in an enemy state. She was released on bail after promising not to enter the Gaza Strip over the next 30 days.

Hass is the first Israeli journalist to enter the Gaza Strip in more than two years, since the Israel Defense Forces issued an entry ban following the abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in a 2006 cross-border raid by Palestinian militants.

Last December, Hass was arrested by soldiers at the Erez Checkpoint as she tried to cross into Israel after having entered the Gaza Strip aboard a ship run by peace activists from Europe.

Upon discovering that she had no permit to be in Gaza, the soldiers transferred her to the Sderot police.

When questioned, Hass pointed out that no one had stopped her from entering the Strip, which she did for work purposes.

Hass was released then under restriction, and Nahmani said her case would be sent to court.

Israel Press Council chairwoman Dalia Dorner, a former Supreme Court justice, commented then that even journalists are subject to the law and the council cannot defend a reporter who breaks the law. Instead, she said, local journalists ought to petition the High Court of Justice against the army's order.

Israele, stato canaglia?
I soldati di Israele hanno fatto di Gaza una tomba
"Ciò che Israele fa subire ai Palestinesi è un abominio" ha dichiarato l’ex Presidente United States, Jimmy Carter, during his recent round in the Middle East.
April 21, 2008

With his gesture, a simple human diplomacy alone has removed our shame of belonging to this company "Western", which continues to blindly support a colonial state which has wiped Palestine off the map and adopt, by 60 years against a defenseless people, military operations to a terrorist character, a policy of segregation and targeted killings, known as "extralegal."

We would have appreciated that other heads of state had the courage to denounce the crimes of Israel's war with the same clarity of Carter.

Israel has the Middle East in focus and in focus. Is guilty of serious crimes, in violation of the rules of law International. And the European Union have the indecency to ask the Palestinians and their Arab brethren, to recognize "Israel's right to exist" as a "Jewish state", which would be tantamount to legitimizing segregation and deny Palestinian refugees their inalienable right to return, like any other refugees in the world, on land and homes from which they were driven out!

As stated so precisely the Palestinian intellectual Omar Barghouti, "no state has the right to exist as a racist state" [2]. A State which makes a reign of terror, killing women and children every day, their relatives, desperate, found mutilated, one can state that massacre, as happens in Gaza, in the space of a few days, hundreds of innocent civilians, by throwing their bombs that disperse hundreds of microfrecce acuminate, enter the body, maim, kill, create terrible suffering, - without which this raises, needless to say, the Minimum indignation of our democracy - should be banned nations.

While we deserve the best care, access to hospitals and medicines to relieve and cure our diseases and our wounds, Gaza, patients die because Israel will not let anything get in hospitals and are taken for objective. The Israeli army has destroyed, April 16, "El Wafa Medical Rehabilitation", putting the lives of patients and body health in danger, without electricity ed'approvvigionamento water, forcing surgeons to stop operating.

In Gaza, one year, and injured patients, who could be cared for, died for lack of care. Suhha Jumbass Al, 22, cancer patient, died in that terrible month of April, because the Israeli army has refused, like other 133 people who died recently before her, to go for treatment in Egypt.

The day after the massacre Boureij [3], the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had the arrogance to say that Israel will "pay the price of what Hamas is in Gaza. "

But who pays the price of suffering? ol'aggredito The attacker may it puts to death? What can still be" paying "Israel may it starves to these children, who suffer from malnutrition and psychological state which is disturbing, and the thousands of sick people scared to leave them abandoned for lack of care, which will continue to die for lack of medicine?

How can our society tolerate so many horrors and injustice? Why do our governments simply call "the two parties to exercise restraint," as if it could establish a symmetry between the occupier and occupied, between the Executioner and his victim!

We are fed up of this attitude that is biased with regard to Israel's contempt for the Arab victims. A resident of Rafah told us recently with bitterness: "We dismiss pulling missiles filled with 3,000 pounds of heavy explosives. A ton of quest'esplosivi ZNT is able to shave an entire area. It is a missile of this type that the military Israel has launched against a mosque in Rafah and destroyed other fifteen houses. We condemn to death, poison us, we close, we cut the food, they bombard us, deprive us of any access to medicines, deprive us of vital products as chlorine to clean up the water and then sell us their poison from lettuce insecticides, at an exorbitant price. "

The Palestinians have the right to life and to be protected, like all oppressed people of who is much stronger than him. Never was a war waged by a colonial state has thus been permanently covered by deceit, by misinformation, hypocrisy.

Even the so-called "friends of Palestine, the Israelis that peace is idealized, are not without blame. For, be content to condemn the Israeli occupation and its crimes is not enough to settle the wrongs caused . should have the honesty to go to the root of the problem by requiring, not only end the occupation, but also the right of return for refugees, and the end of institutionalized racism against Palestinians, and this in a state that guarantees equal rights to all its inhabitants.

The people of Jewish confession that is identified with Israel can not continue to rely on the crimes committed by the Nazis to justify the existence of a racist state on stolen land to the Arabs.

This is unacceptable. Gaza is, for the people, a prison from which none can escape except to leave the Palestinians provided a VIP pass delivered to the "head of the customer" and in agreement with the occupation by the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah.
corrupt authority, which participates in the clearance Hamas and goes against the aspirations of his people. The Palestinians, already brutalized by the army of occupation, did not deserve this further betrayal.

remains to be hoped that the time will come where those who have committed crimes or who have served, in way or another, the interests of the Israeli occupier, intended to be answerable to history.

The water wars

Uploading From Canonzr 850

In 1995, Vice President World Bank has made a prediction about the wars of the future:
"If the wars of the twentieth century were fought over oil, those of the XXI century will be the subject of contention as the water."

In the Middle East, along the Nile, across Africa, Asia, India, Latin America and even in the U.S. are currently over 50 ongoing conflicts between states because of water-related causes.
The Indian scientist Vandana Shiva spoke about in his book: "The water wars."



Many of the conflicts focused on resources, such as water, are hidden, disguised are: who controls the power to prefer pass the water wars or hoarding of raw materials like oil, gold, diamonds ... as if they were ethnic, tribal, religious conflicts for security against terrorism ...!

The most "emblematic" of these conflicts is that between Israelis and Palestinians, a conflict based on their possession of natural resources: the land and water.
Certainly the "water war" in this case is the consequence and not the cause of contention between Israel and Palestine. Israel receives two-thirds of the fact its water from territories conquered by the "Six Day War in 1967. established Israeli settlements in these occupied territories have been located so as to control the sources of water: the result is that there is Palestinian, the average consumption of 150 cubic meters per capita per year, while the Israeli settlers up to 800 mc.





It is no coincidence that Israel's water under the Ministry of Agriculture in Palestine by the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
In May 2005 in Ramallah, Palestine, was held an international conference on the issue of water rights. The legal philosopher Danilo Zolo, at the conference, thus explained the water problem: "The Israeli aggression on Palestinian people's right to use their water resources is one of the most effective tools of political oppression and social discrimination.
values \u200b\u200bsuch as life, social security, health is seriously threatened by Israel's withdrawal from Palestinian water resources and the heavy restrictions imposed on the Palestinian population.

The restrictions were adopted by military orders that have banned Palestinians from building or owning a water system without a permit Israeli military authorities.








am have also been set a levy, wells and springs have been dispossessed Palestinians absent., while the water bill penalizing the Palestinian people, whose living standard is far below that of Israeli citizens. Overall 85% of Palestinian water is used today by the Israelis. The conflict over water is only one aspect, though the most important, the war for the liberation of Palestine.
not solve the water problem if not solved, together, that the establishment of a Palestinian state, its full independence. "

less intricate disputes have also affected other regions of the planet.



For many years there is still a lot of tension between Turkey - on the one hand - and Iran, Iraq and Syria - on the other - with regard to the basins of the Tigris and Euphrates in the land we know as the "Mesopotamia" the cradle of civilization ...
A trigger was Turkey's decision to promote "the Great Anatolian Project", by building a levee system to increase irrigation and produce electricity.

This project puts into the hands of Turkey's great power: to "turn off the taps" while in fact hostage to Iraq and Syria not to intervene on the Kurdish question.

also sending the army in those areas, with the excuse of protecting yards, used to control its military lands inhabited by the Kurds.


dams, have always been one of the more symbolic forms of technological domination of man over nature.

Not only are a source of conflict between states, but even within the same state.
Worldwide, there are now 19,000 dams over 30 meters high, 45,000 if you consider a height up to 15 meters.

But the nature and history have also demonstrated, sometimes dramatically, the fragility and limitations of these great works, so that the dams are now classified as "major technological risks," like a nuclear power plant or a 'hazardous chemical. While
exalted aspects of "grandeur" of such works, are usually silent about the financial costs, social and ecological.
why they were born in these years the movement of opposition to the construction of major projects:

in India managed to stop the project of the Narmada Valley, funded by the World Bank, which includes 30 major dams, 135 medium and 3,000 small dams along the Narmada River and its tributaries.
In India, the construction of large dams has led to the transfer of about 50 million people.

(The movements of opposition to the construction of "large dams" have managed to stop the construction of the dam)

In China, even 10 million residents were forced to evacuate for a single dam in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze valley. According to the Italian geographer

Teresa Isenburg the Three Gorges Project is a giant of unparalleled: the dam will have a height of 185 meters, the length of two kilometers and will create a pool of water of 64,000 sq km, almost three times the Piemonte. A work

Pharaoh! (E 'was inaugurated May 20, 2006)


The World Commission on Dams has acknowledged that too often "paid a price was not acceptable by the people evacuated from communities living in the valley in the shadow of dams, by taxpayers and from the wild. Arundhati Roy, Indian writer of international renown, has denounced this situation as well:
"Large dams are for the development of a nation that nuclear bombs are to its military arsenal.

Both are weapons of mass destruction.

Both are tools that governments use to control their people.

Both are emblems of human intelligence that has overtaken his instinct for survival.

malignant Both are indications of a civilization that turns against itself.

represent breaking the bond between humans and the planet in which they live.

upset the logic that connects the eggs the hens, milk to cows, water to rivers, air to life and earth into existence "
In fact, large dams and encourage multinational corporations in the construction phase during both the management and finally in the enjoyment of the benefits, because the drastic modernization local agriculture to the dogs sent millions of small farmers who still work with traditional methods, making them desperate to flow in the suburbs where they live in misery.

agricultural products thus obtained is exported, while subsistence farming is wiped out, and the lives of millions of people in a short time become the "screw up".

Vandana Shiva in the introduction to his book The water wars, has stigmatized with words of fire, this global system of exploitation:
"The forced removal of resources to the people is a form of terrorism - terrorism business.

The 50 million Indians displaced from their homes flooded by the dams over the past forty 'years are also victims of terrorism - have suffered the terror of technology development and destructive.
destroy the resource and forest reservoirs and aquifers is a form of terrorism. To deny the poor access to water distribution or privatization polluting wells and rivers, this is also terrorism.

The terrorists are not only those who take refuge in the caves of Afghanistan, and some are hiding in the halls of the boards of multinational companies, behind the rules on the free market imposed by the World Trade Organisation, which deny millions of people the right to a sustainable livelihood.

Greed and appropriation of the planet's precious resources that belong to others are at the root of conflicts and the root of terrorism.

Lifestyle 20% of the world's population uses 80% of the planet's resources effectively expropriate the remaining 80% of its fair share of resources and will eventually destroy the planet.

We can not survive as a species if greed is privileged and if the economy of the greedy down the rules on how to live and die "
