"People are also criticizing Ahed and the Tamimis for “staging” or otherwise planning her protests. Of course they do. That’s the whole point. They understand that the only way they stand a chance against the Israelis is to play by the script, by the rules of engagement that both sides in the theater that is that hill have more or less agreed to. The script allows the Tamimis and their supporters to at least slow the inexorable take-over of their land. The Israelis get to use their relative “restraint” to show how moral they are. Except for shooting her cousin, of course. And all the other shootings, beatings, arrests, and so on."
Another long piece on Ahed Tamimi

Rebecca Vilkerson is married to an Israeli , and her children are Israeli.
Meanwhile even the New York Times is writing about a one state solution these days.
Whilst its editorial puts the blame squarely on Netanyahu and Trump

The full list of banned organisations
AFPS (Association France Palestine Solidarité)
BDS France
Bds Italy
ECCP (European Co-ordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine)
Friends of Al-Aqsa
Ireland Palestine Solidarity Committee
Norwegian Palestine Committee
Palestine Solidarity Association of Sweden
Palestine Solidarity Campaign
War on Want
BDS Kampagne
AFSC (American Friends Service Committee)
American Muslims for Palestine

A reminder that because access to Palestine is only possible via Israel these organisations are all banned from Palestine as well as Israel.
perhaps the most shocking on that list is the American Friends Service Committee. The Quakers who probably did more than any other group to save Jewish lives.
Already banned "Isabel Phiri, a citizen of Malawi living in Switzerland who is a senior official of the World Council of Churches"Last edited by Nefertiti2; 07-01-2018, 13:58.

This from Haaretz on banning Quaker Peace and Service
It feels as though Israel is finally making the break with Reform Judaism and liberal & left wing Jews. It would rather hang out with Steve Bannon and Donald Trump and their fellow antisemites of Poland and Hungary. It will in the long run prove fatal.

Did anyone here the so called objective piece on Today this morning, it was only towards the very end of the piece that we were told that her cousin was shot by a rubber bullet and it failed to mention how badly injured he was. Another shameful piece from the BBC.
Malana gets shot by the Taliban and there is outrage, Ahed stands up to an occupying army and gets imprisoned to a chorus of mainstream silence.

Seinfeld visits the occupied territories
Located in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank, Caliber 3 is a counterterrorism and security training academy that in recent years has built on its expertise to create a new line of business: special programs for tourists seeking a taste of the Israeli military experience.
Caliber 3 offers a basic package which includes a simulation of a suicide bombing in a Jerusalem marketplace, immediately followed by a stabbing attack, a live demonstration with attack dogs and a sniper tournament. The cost of this basic package is $115 per adult and $85 per child, with discounts available for large groups.

It was more gallows humour, but I thought it worked.
