Calling Gaza a prison camp is an understatement| Laila El-Haddadby Laila El-Haddad (Hija delZion para Israel - Daughter ofZion for Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 6:35:52 AM

There may be some semblance ofcivil life and stability in Gaza, but itis our freedoms that are under siege It’s three years since I’ve been backto Gaza. Much has happened sincemy last visit. Fatah waged a failedcoup and now rules only the WestBank, while Hamas is in charge ofGaza. Israel launched its deadly CastLead assaul t . Fuel shor tages .Electr ic i ty cr ises . And so on. I needed to regain perspective. So Iwalked and I talked and I listened. Iwent to the beach where women –skinny jeans and all – were smokingwater pipes, swimming and generallyhaving a good time, irrespective ofthe purported Hamas ban on womensmoking sheesha. During the eight hours of electricitywe get each day, I logged on to theinternet and browsed the English-language papers. It seemed likesuddenly everyone was an expert onGaza, claiming they knew what it’sreally like. Naysayers and their ilkhave been providing us with the same“ evidence” that Gaza is burgeoning:the markets are full of produce, fancyrestaurants abound, there are poolsand parks and malls … all is well inthe most isolated place on earth –Gaza, the “ prison camp” that is not. If you take things at face value, andset aside for a moment the bizarreidea that the availability of suchamenities precludes the existence ofhardship, you’ll be inclined to believewhat you read. So, is there a humanitarian crisis ornot? That seems to be the question ofthe hour. But it is the wrong one to beasking. The message I’ve been hearing overand over again since I returned toGaza is this: the siege is not a siegeon foods; it is a siege on freedoms –freedom to move in and out of Gaza,freedom to fish more than three milesout at to sea, freedom to learn, towork, to farm, to build, to live, toprosper.

Gaza was never a place with aquantitative food shortage; it is aplace where many people lack themeans to buy food and other goodsbecause of a closure policy whosetenets are “ no development, noprosperity, and no humanitariancrisis“, Gisha, the Legal Centre forthe Freedom of Movement, explainedin a press release. The move from a “white list” ofallowable imports to a “black list”might sound in good in theory (ieeverything is banned except xyz, toonly the following things are banned)but in practice only 40% of Gaza’ssupp ly needs a re be ing me t ,according to Gisha. The PalestinianFederation of Industries estimates thatonly a few hundred of Gaza’s 3,900factories and workshops will be ableto start up again under presentconditions Sure, there are a handful of fancyrestaurants in Gaza. And yes, there isa new mall (infinitely smaller and lessg l a m o r o u s t h a n i t h a s b e e np o r t r a y e d ) . As for food, it is in good supply,having found its way here eitherthrough Israeli crossings or the vastnetwork of tunnels between Gaza andEgypt. Of course, this leaves aside thequestion of who in Gaza’s largelyimpover i shed popula t ion ( theoverwhelming majority of whoseincome is less than $2 a day, 61% ofwhom are food insecure) can reallyafford mangoes at $4 a kilo or grapesat $8 a kilo. A recent trip to thegrocery store revealed that meat hasrisen to $13 a kilo. Fish, once a cheapsource of protein, goes for $15 to $35a kilo. And so on. Prices are on par with those of adeveloped country, except we are notin a developed country. We are a de-developed occupied territory. All of the above adds up to theerasure of the market economy and itsreplacement with a system whereeveryone is turned into some kind ofwelfare recipient. But people don’twant handouts and uncertainty anddespair; they want their dignity andtheir freedom, employment andprosperity and possibility.

Perhaps most significantly, they wantto be able to move freely – somethingthey still cannot do. Let’s take the case of Fadi. His fatherrecently had heart surgery. He wantedto seek followup care abroad, at hisown expense, but he doesn’t fall intothe specified categories allowed outof Gaza for travel, whether throughEgypt or Israel. “He’s not considereda level-one priority,” Fadi explained.“Can you please tell me why I can’tdecide when I want to travel and whathospital I can take him to?” Even the cream of Gazan high-school students must lobby the Israeliauthorities long and hard to beallowed out to complete their studies.They l i teral ly have to s tar t acampaign in conjunction with humanrights groups to raise enoughawareness about their plight, and thenlook for local individuals to blogabout their progress, explainedIbrahim, who was approached by oneorganisation to “sponsor a student”. I have no doubt that if StephanieGutmann and Melanie Phillips livedin Gaza their principle worry wouldnot be about “what parts of theirbodies they can display”, it would bethe fact that they would not beallowed out again. It would bebecause everything from the kind offood they would have on their plate towhen they can turn on the lights towhat they can clothe those bodieswith and whether or not they canobtain a degree is determined by anoccupying power. Using the phrase “prison camp” todescribe Gaza, as Britain’s primeminister did, is not vile rhetoric. It isan understatement and even amisnomer. Prisoners are guilty of acrime, yet they are guaranteed accessto certain things – electricity andwater, even education – whereGazans are not. What crime didGazans commit, except, to quote mylate grandmother, “being bornPalestinian”? Ketchup and cookies may be flowingto Gaza in slightly greater quantitiesthan before. But so bloody what?Goods for export are not flowing out.Nor, for that matter, are people. So

while there may be some semblanceof civil life and stability in Gaza,there is absolutely no politicalhorizon or true markers of freedom tospeak of. And as long as f reedom ofmovement is stifled, whether byIsrael or Egypt, and export-qualitygoods, which account for a largeportion of Gaza’s manufacturingoutput, are forbidden from leavingGaza, all the malls and mangoes inthe world won’t make a bit ofdifference.• Comments on this article are set toremain open for 24 hours from thetime of publication but may be closedovernight• Gaza• Palestinian territories• Israel• Egypt• Civil liberties – international• Middle East

Border Clash: A Case Study in ReutersPhotographyby Honest Reporting (Hija delZion para Israel - Daughter ofZion for Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 3:39:00 AM

The sheer number of photos involvedmakes this post both daunting andnecessary. Daunting, because 25 is a lot ofimages (and captions) to look overand post. Necessary, because this isthe only way to demonstrate how farover the top Reuters photographerswent in covering Tuesday’s clashalong the Israeli-Lebanese border.The images also raise some verytroubling questions. The Issues 1. Five photographers, (in addition toa n u n k n o w n n u m b e r o fstringers) from one news servicecovering what was supposed to beroutine IDF border maintenance workis astounding. The Reuters photographers identifiedwith photo credits are Ali Hashisho,Hamad Almakt, Kamel Jaber, BazRatner, and Karamallah Daher (not tobe confused with AP photographerRonith Daher who also covered theborder skirmish). Ratner and Almaktworked on the Israeli side of theborder. The rest of the images arefrom the Lebanese side. 2. Reuters’ coverage and access to somany positions along the bordermakes us wonder if some or all ofthese photographers expected to“only” cover IDF gardening or thestart of the next Lebanon war. Reuters’ photos simply blew awaythe other news agencies. Had theskirmish escalated, the wire servicewould have been well-poised toproduce lots of gory images of deadand injured Lebanese soldiers andcivilians. 3. It’s reasonable to assume Reuters’picture desk staff and editors knewwhat was going on. There’s no waythe picture desk could have beenflooded with these kinds of imageswithout higher ups wondering howso many photographers were able toshare the same scoop. 4. Some images of Israeli soldierstaken from the Lebanese side of theborder are so close, it’s a miracle thatmore journalists weren’t killed orinjured by IDF fire. In the heat ofbattle, it’s very easy to confuse largecamera equipment, like a zoom lens,with a weapon. As it was, Assaf Abu Rahhal of thepro-Syrian paper, al-Akhbar waski l led , whi le Al i Chouaib ofHezbollah’s Al-Manar was injured. 5. Seven of the 25 pictures (28p e r c e n t ) h a v e a nunidentified ”stringer” photo credit;this is very suspicious and leaves a lotof unanswered questions as to whothe photographers are. Common practice is for stringers —local free-lance photographers not

employed by the news service — tobe credited by name, followed by theword “Stringer” or “STR” to indicatethe photographer’s status. None of theseven stringer photo credits identifiedanyone by name. 6. One photographer deserving closerscrutiny is Ali Hashisho. Judgingfrom his especially close access andcapt ions, i t ’s worth asking i fHashisho also serves in the LebaneseArmy, UNIFIL, or  some otherposition that might be a conflict ofinterest with his work for Reuters. 7. We linked to the images onDayLife for further documentation. 8. HonestReporting obtained sixunpublished graphic photos which weare including in this post. Despitetheir graphic nature, we are includingthose images because they furtherdemonstrate the unrestricted accessthe Reuters photographers enjoyed.All are branded with Reuterswatermarks. 9. It should be noted that Reuterswasn’ t the on ly agency wi thphotographers on scene. AP, forexample, had its own photographicissues which we blogged Tuesdaynight. However, for the reasons listedabove, we’re singling out Reuters forspecial attention.

Once again, Arabs go crazy overJews prayingby Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zionpara Israel - Daughter of Zionfor Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 6:18:00 AM

Palestine Press Agency reports yetagain: Last night, about 500 settlersstormed the area of Joseph’s Tomb inNablus. Sources said the local settlerspracticed biblical rituals at the gravein a provocative way, and they wereunder the protection of a large forceof Israeli soldiers who helped them tobreak into the area. Joseph’s Tomb is supposed to beavailable for Jewish worship underexisting agreements between Israeland the PA. These visits are alwayscoordinated. There is no reason to assume that theworshippers are all “settlers.” Hamas was really ticked off: Minister of Waqf in the Gaza

government Taleb Abu Sha’ar calledthe visit of 300 settlers to Joseph’sTomb in Nablus a “violation” and“provocative.” The visit, which saw military patrolsenter a residential area south ofNablus at midnight and close offstreets, culminated in the arrival of 20military vehicles and six buses ofreligious Jews who remained underheavy guard at the tomb betwen 1 and5a.m. Abu Sha’ar said the mili tarymeasures and the forceful visit to theholy place, believed to be the burialarea of patriarch Jospeh and his twosons, was a “violation of the holyplace,” and took place on the “pretextthat the area belongs only to them[Jewish worshipers].” In 1993 the mosque was partitioned,half was designated for Jewish useand the other half for Muslim use. I guess that all that talk about howHamas has no problem with Jews is

not quite accurate.

Elena Kagan: Pro-Shariaby Robert (Hija del Zion paraIsrael - Daughter of Zion forIsrael)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 5:30:17 AM

Elena Kagan: Pro-Sharia Ignoranceand naivete, mixed in with thefashionable Leftist contempt forAmerica. “Critics allege Elena Kaganis sympathetic to Sharia law,” byCaroline May in The Daily Caller,August 5:[...] Kagan’s detractors point to hertime as the dean of Harvard LawSchool as the primary demonstrationof her approval of Sharia. AndrewMcCarthy, a senior fellow at theNational Review Institute, wrote in anarticle on The National Review’swebsite that as Harvard Law Schooldean, Kagan “became the championof sharia.” Included in Kagan’s offensives asdean, according to McCarthy, wascondoning the acceptance of $20million from Saudi prince Alwaleedbin Talal — who blamed the attacksof 9/11 on American foreign policy— to fund programs on Islam. Shealso spearheaded the “IslamicFinance Project,” a program aimed atmainstreaming Sharia-compliant

finance in America. And, as somepoint out, she awarded the HarvardMedal of Freedom to the chief justiceof the Supreme Court of Pakistan,Iftikhar Chaudhry, who critics say isa promoter of Sharia. Robert Spencer, the director of JihadWatch, told The Daily Caller thatKagan would help advance Sharialaw in America out of ignorance.“[Kagan] would knowingly andwittingly abet the advance of Sharia,but she wouldn’t do it understandinganything about Sharia. She would doit out of her ignorance.” Spencer attributes Kagan’s fondnessfor Sharia to naïveté and liberalism.“There is a general tendency on thepart of political liberals in the UnitedStates today to take a benign view ofIslam and Islamic law,” he said.“They are generally uninformed andshare a hatred of the West andWestern civilization.” According to Spencer, Kagan will bea willing accomplice in the ongoingstealth jihad — or the institution ofSharia into non-Muslim societies vianon-violent means, such as the courtsand mainstreaming Islamic customs— currently underway against theWest. “The goal of the jihad is to

assert the primacy of Islamic law overnon-Muslim society and over Muslimsocieties where i t is not fullyenforced, and that can take placeeither through violent or non-violentmeans and the goal is the same,” hesaid. [...] Spencer says that he doubts thequestion of Kagan’s support forSharia will come up in this week’sSenate debate. “In general Americanlawmakers have been entirely remisson this issue. They have beenuninformed and content in theirignorance. In some ways they havebeen bamboozled by the successfulefforts by Islamic supremacist groupslike the Council on American IslamicRelations (CAIR) to portray anyopposition to Sharia as hatred andbigotry and intolerance,” he said. “Ofcourse no politician wants to beportrayed as that. It is the kiss ofdeath.” Posted by Robert on August 5, 20105:30 AM| No Comments Print this entry| FaceBook| Email this entry| Digg this| del.icio.us

Information related to Obama’smom’s travel schedule out of thecountry have also disappeared. Just when you thought there couldn’tbe any more players in the ongoingsoap opera over the hunt for PresidentObama’s original birth certificate andhis constitutional eligibility for office,there comes yet another name: ElenaKagan. Yes , the same Elena Kagannominated by the commander in chiefto be the next justice on the U.S.Supreme Court has actually beenplaying a role for some time in thedispute over whether Obama islegally qualified to be in the WhiteHouse. Here’s the connection. Kagan servedas solicitor general of the UnitedStates from March 2009 until May ofthis year. In that role, she legally representedthe U.S. government in numerouscases coming before the SupremeCourt. A simple search of the high court’sown website reveals Kagan’s namecoming up at least nine times ondockets involving Obama eligibilityissues.

UK: The Talibanisation of Britishchildhood by hardline parents Via Da i ly Mai l h / t Ver i t a sUnive r sa l i s Last November, on the steps of TateBritain, I witnessed a scene thattroubles me still. A furious Asian father was shakinghis young son and tearing up thepicture his child had drawn. T h e b o y k i c k e d a n d c r i e d .Recognising my face from TVappearances I had made as acommentator on current affairs, thefather came across to say ‘hello’. So I asked him what his child haddone that had made him so angry. Heexplained that according to hisIslamic mentors, drawing pictures ofpeople was forbidden. I was flabbergasted. After all, thiswas in the middle of Britain’s multi-cultural capital – a modernmetropolis, not some dusty backstreet

Lebanese leaders continue tocontradict themselvesby Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zionpara Israel - Daughter of Zionfor Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 3:55:00 AM

The backtracking of the Lebanese tosave face for what was a premediated,unprovoked attack continues. They have abandoned the lies ofIsrael crossing the Blue Line, of themonly shooting “warning shots,” andothers. The latest statement fromLebanese General Jean Kahwajishows yet again how they cannotkeep their story straight: Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF)commander General Jean Kahwaji onWednesday said that Israel DefenseForces (IDF) troops entered onTuesday a disputed area along theBlue Line, despite objections fromthe Lebanese army and UNIFIL, theNational News Agency (NNA)reported. Lebanese and Israeli soldiersexchanges fire Tuesday at the bordervillage of Adaisseh in the fiercestclashes since the 2006 July War. Theclash resulted in the killing of twoLebanese soldiers, a journalist and asenior Israeli officer. The clashes started after Israeli unitsattempted to cut down contested treesalong the border, which the UN said

Wednesday were within Israeliterritory. Kahwaji said the Israeli decision wasa violation of UN Security CouncilResolution 1701, adding that “ thearmy agreed to cutting down the treestoday after necessary conditions weremet.” UNIFIL uni ts supervised onWednesday morning the removal oftrees along the southern border incoordination with the Lebanese army. So the trees that were supposedly inLebanese territory on Tuesday wereallowed to be cut down by Israel onWednesday? Plus he claims thatUNIFIL was objecting to the treecutting even though it had all beencoordinated with them? The IDF did say that UNIFIL askedthem to delay the cutting, twice, forunspecified reasons, and the IDFcomplied. The only part of the IDF story that Ibelieve might be slightly inaccurate isthe map they handed out: Looking at the famous picture of thecherry-picker, we see a curve in theroad just north of the famous tree: At the point where the road curves,the Blue Line is somewhat closer tothe road (Google Maps yellow lineonly approximates the Blue Line; youcan see what is apparently the real

Blue Line right above it): There is still no doubt that the IDFwas within its side of the Blue Line,but the Lebanese were much closer –which may account for the accuracyof the sniper gunshot that hit the IDFofficer in the head.

France (where the hijab – a headscarf– is also not allowed in schools) andother European nations will follow. In Britain, where personal liberty issacrosanct, such state actions wouldappear authoritarian. To me, that hands-off approachmakes no sense.

Reuters had 5 photographers plusstringers to cover a tree being cutby Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zionpara Israel - Daughter of Zionfor Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 3:23:00 AM

Backspin, the Honest Reportingblog, notices the amazing fact thatReuters had no fewer than fivephotographers and some unidentifiedstringers covering Tuesday’s events.After examining the 25 photos thatReuters had of the incident, includinggraphic images, they ask: 1. How were five photographersencouraged to cover routine IDFmaintenance work — which is simplynon-news? Who tipped them off, andwhy? 2. How did Reuters photographersget such wide, unrestricted access tothe combat zone? 3 . Who are the unident i f iedstringers? Do they, or any of the fiveidentified photographers, have anyconfl icts of interest requir ing

disclosure, in the interests of ethicaljournalism? Why did Reuters breakwith journalistic norms and not creditseven images with the photographer’sname? 4. Is it fair to say that the Lebanesesource who tipped off journalists tobe in the Adaisseh area of the borderbears responibility for the death ofAssaf Abu Rahhal? 5. Did any higher ups in the Reuterscha in o f command ra i se anyques t ions? Remember, these are just thephotographers – Backspin isn’t evencounting any other Reuters journalistswho might have been there. Suzanne and others had noticed thefact that so many journalists were atthe scene ahead of time, but Reuters’coverage is so over the top that itmerits serious scrutiny as to whetherits Lebanese journalists are alsoassociated with the LAF – orHezbollah.

Why Israel worries about Turkeyby Carl in Jerusalem (Hija delZion para Israel - Daughter ofZion for Israel)

Submitted at 8/5/2010 5:53:00 AM

Why Israel worries about TurkeyMost of the stories I have seen thatdiscuss Israel’s concerns overT u r k e y ’ s i n c r e a s i n g l y c o z yrelationship with Iran are very vagueand general. They talk about militarycooperation and Israel’s sale of itsmost advanced technologies toTurkey. Recently, I have seen storiesthat discuss Israel’s sale of unmannedaerial vehicles to Turkey, but thoseare the exception rather than the rule.This story, on the other hand, is muchmore specific. Some of those shipments forHezbollah were sent by sea, andIsrael and Western countries havebeen successful in intercepting at seahundreds of tons of missiles andartillery shells. Other shipmentsarrive overland or in flights to Syria

via Turkey. Al Jazeera reports: In May 2007, Turkish authoritiesseized weapons hidden on a Syria-bound train from Iran after Kurdishseparatist fighters derailed it with abomb. According to one account, theweapons on the train included arocket launch pad and 300 rockets. One little-publicized case in 2006involved an aircraft loaded with C-803 anti-ship missiles (one suchChinese-Iranian missile hit an Israeli

Lebanese general arrested as Israelispyby Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zionpara Israel - Daughter of Zionfor Israel)

From Ya Libnan: Hezbollah’s Al-Manar televisionreported on Wednesday that BrigadierGeneral Fayez Karam, who is asenior Free Patriotic Movementofficial, confessed that he has beenspying for Israel since 2005 and thathe has met several Israeli officialsduring his trips to the EuropeanUnion. Karam was arrested earlier onW e d n e s d a y o n s u s p i c i o n o fcollaborating with Israel according tolocal reports Al-Manar also said that the InternalSecurity Forces (ISF) are sti l l

investigating with the detainee tobetter understand the extent of thedamages incurred by Karam. Police arrested several suspects overthe past month in an expanding probeinto an alleged network of Israelispies employed in the country’stelecom sector. The alleged spies discovered over thepast month have been mainlyconcentrated in Lebanon’s wirelessand landline telecommunicationsnetworks; as far as I know this is byfar the most senior person accused ofspying for Israel.
