Palestine : Diaries: Live from Palestine:
BUSH’S “VISION” IS PALESTINE’S NIGHTMARE
By Sam Bahour, Live from Palestine, 10 January 2008
Much more important issues than the siege on Gaza were on
Bush’s agenda. The need to realize and work on a “vision”
for the future was in the forefront of Bush’s mind. “The
parties” should now sit down and “negotiate a vision” –
the parties being Israel, the fourth strongest military
might in the world and a forty-year-long occupier, and the
Palestinians, a stateless people who have been
dispossessed by Israel for sixty years and under brutal
military occupation by their colonizers for over four
decades. Sam Bahour comments from al-Bireh/Ramallah.

GEORGE W. BUSH: YOU ARE NOT WELCOME
By Mohammed Ali, Live from Palestine, 10 January 2008
While I was driving in the car the other day, there was a
radio report that the Israeli high court has approved to
cut off the electricity from Gaza and leave Gaza in
darkness to intensify the collective punishment on Gaza.
When the Israeli high court previously agreed to ban the
transfer to Gaza of fuel to supply the main power plant,
there were power cuts for at least eight hours a day.
Power and fuel cuts mean that hospitals, factories and
other essential services suffer as a result. Mohammed Ali
writes from Gaza.

Appeal, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, 9 January 2008
A delegation of four Israeli members of Physicians for
Human Rights-Israel (PHR-Israel), including three doctors
and PHR-Israel’s Clinic Manager, entered Gaza this
morning. At the same time, an emergency dispatch of
medical supplies at a value of approximately US $40,000
was delivered by PHR-Israel into Gaza, for the purpose of
distribution to al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City and the
European Hospital in Khan Younis, both of which are
suffering from severe shortages.

CROSSING THE LINE FEATURES A SPEECH BY MICHEL SHEHADEH
Podcast, The Electronic Intifada, 8 January 2008
This week on Crossing The Line: host Christopher Brown
airs a speech given by Palestinian activist Michel
Shehadeh. Shehadeh was a member of what the media dubbed,
the Los Angeles Eight (LA8), who were a group of
individuals accused of aiding a member group of the
Palestinian Liberation Organization which the US
government considers a terrorist organization. Shehadeh
spoke on 29 November 2007 — the international day of
solidarity with Palestine — in San Francisco about the
Palestinian struggle for liberation.

A LIVING MARTYR
By Rami Almeghari, Live from Palestine, 8 January 2008
“He insisted that we all take a photo; it was the first in
the last 12 years since we got married, as if he was
feeling his death was approaching,” says Ghada al-Khatib,
widow of Awni al-Khatib at their home in al-Shati’ refugee
camp in western Gaza City. Awni al-Khatib died a few days
of the brain damage he suffered since 1990 when he was
shot in the head by an Israeli-fired, rubber-coated steel
bullet. Awni is one of thousands of Palestinians who
sustained injuries from such bullets during the first
intifada that broke out in 1987. EI correspondent Rami
Almeghari reports from Gaza’s Shati’ refugee camp.
