JIM CROW ALIVE AND WELL IN HEBRON
By Joel Gulledge, The Electronic Intifada, 3 September 2008
I left my home in the United States to spend the summer in
the West Bank, where I was attacked by Israeli settlers
late last month. As a member of the Christian Peacemaker
Team, I went to the south Hebron Hills to help keep young
Palestinian children safe from Israeli settlers intent on
dominating and hurting Palestinians. Armed only with a
video camera, it was my job to escort the children back
and forth from school and summer camp. Joel Gulledge
comments.

“POLITICAL STRIKES” AFFECT GAZA’S HEALTH, EDUCATION SECTORS
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 3 September 2008
RAMALLAH/GAZA (IRIN) – Strikes in state schools and the
health sector are plaguing the Gaza Strip, causing turmoil
and reminding all that the rival Fatah and Hamas factions
in Gaza are still far from working out their differences.
According to international observers, the strikes at
hospitals in Gaza, which started on 30 August, led to a
significant section of the medical workforce staying away.

MEET THE LEBANESE PRESS: SYRIA AND THE SALAFIS
By Hicham Safieddine, Electronic Lebanon, 2 September 2008
Lebanese-Syrian relations witnessed a turnaround this
month. The visit by Lebanese President Michel Suleiman to
Damascus culminated in a declaration to establish full
diplomatic relations between the two countries for the
first time. Promises were made to intensify efforts to
resolve long-standing disputes around delineating the
borders and uncovering the fate of dozens of Lebanese who
disappeared during the civil war and are believed to be
imprisoned in Syria.

NILIN VILLAGE CONTINUES TO RESIST ISRAELI SIEGE
By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 2 September 2008
The window through which Salam Amira, 16, filmed the
moment when an Israeli soldier shot from close range a
handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinian detainee has a
large hole at its center with cracks running in every
direction. “Since my video was shown, the soldiers shoot
at our house all the time,” she said. The shattered and
cracked windows at the front of the building confirm her
story. Jonathan Cook reports from Nilin.

THE DECEPTIVE LOGIC OF PEACEONOMICS
By Sami Aburoza, The Electronic Intifada, 1 September 2008
I am often struck by the stark contrast between the
endless amounts of advice and wisdom proffered by the
ubiquitous international actors and “experts” to help
Palestinians ameliorate their condition and the lack of
action, comment or consequence from these same quarters
toward the naked brutality of Israel’s colonial policies.
Sami Aburoza comments for The Electronic Intifada.
