(1) Since its election, the Netanyahu government has made “economic peace” central to its policies in the West Bank. This is not a coincidence. At a time when Palestinian civil society and grass roots solidarity groups are calling for an economic war on Israel, the Apartheid State has waged economic peace in order to undermine its efforts by seeking normalization with Palestinian and Arab businesses as well as Palestinian and Arab leaders. In order to understand what Israel is offering and the kind of trapping that has been laid out for Arab and Palestinian investors, we must first take a look at Israel’s history of economic manipulation. ]]> Palestine Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:48:34 GMT http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcb5zb5.rhb8wpe4ur.html Interview with Gaza rights defender: "Siege began in 1967" http://www.islamtimes.org/vdciqyar.t1azz2lict.html For the first time since September 2006, Mahmoud Abu Rahma, a leading figure in the Palestinian human rights group Al Mezan, has been granted permission to travel outside Gaza. More than 30 applications to leave the Strip had previously been turned down by the Israeli authorities and it was not until German diplomats made representations on his behalf that he was finally allowed to visit Europe. Rahma has been calling on European Union (EU) diplomats to hold Israel accountable for its attacks on innocent Gazans during the war it waged in late 2008 and early 2009. Yet convincing the EU to take a more robust line against Israel is an arduous task; only five of the EU's 27 countries have supported the report on the Gaza war by a United Nations investigative team led by Richard Goldstone, a retired South African judge. The report found that there was no justifiable military objective for Israel's targeting of civilians in that offensive.

They lean into trash bins across the Gaza Strip, and wade through piles of rubbish scavenging for plastics, metals and any bits worth reselling. ]]> Palestine Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:18:28 GMT http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcgq39x.ak9qn4j5ra.html Palestinian Revolutionaries on International Women's Day http://www.islamtimes.org/vdci5qar.t1az52lict.html The Palestinian people's oppression continues primarily due to the financial, diplomatic and military support that the Zionist state receives from the USA, and secondly the acquiescence of pro-Western states in the region. After the fall of the Zionists state’s long lost brother – the Apartheid state of South Africa – the Palestinian struggle remains perhaps the leading and most potent anti-imperialist struggle in the world. Unsurprisingly therefore Palestinian women are a central example of what role women can play in the struggle to free themselves, their families, communities and their nation against imperialism and Zionism. ]]> Palestine Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:58:34 GMT http://www.islamtimes.org/vdci5qar.t1az52lict.html 1,000 Days of Israeli Siege 'Killed 500 Gazans' http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcc0pqi.2bqso8y-a2.html The Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip has so far resulted in the death of 500 Palestinians, says a Palestinian lawmaker as the siege enters its 1,000th day. ]]> Palestine Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:48:11 GMT http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcc0pqi.2bqso8y-a2.html Moment of truth: time to boycott Israel's entire range of injustice http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcj8ie8.uqevoz29fu.html Words always matter, and names always have a life of their own. But perhaps Palestine and Israel form a context in which words become positions more dramatically than in many others. The authors of the "Moment of Truth" Kairos document, which is the Christian Palestinians' statement to the world about the occupation of Palestine and a call for support in opposing it, have repeatedly been asked about the use of the word "boycott." What exactly does this mean? How far exactly does it go? And what exactly does it call for? ]]> Palestine Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:16:46 GMT http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcj8ie8.uqevoz29fu.html Native Indian Genocide: Parallels in Palestine http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcf1td0.w6dyea7riw.html "One of the greatest crimes against humanity occurred right here in the United States of America.
