Balfour Declaration puts Palestinians to suffer
http://justread-whatever.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Balfour Declaration 1917 which led to the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine was the root of all problems plaguing the Middle East.
The
declaration was actually a 67-word statement contained within a brief
letter attributed to Lord Arthur Balfour, the British foreign secretary,
dated November 2, 1917, which recognised such plan.
In an agreement with America, England viewed with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and promised to use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of the project.
However, it was also clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
Balfour
addressed the letter to Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild,
a British banker, zoologist and Zionist activist who, along with
Zionist's Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, helped draft the
declaration.
As such, the declaration was in line with European Zionist leaders' hopes and designs for a homeland in Palestine, Rothschild and others believed would be realised through intense immigration of Jews around the world to Palestine.
Balfour
was part of the liberal government of Prime Minister David Lloyd
George. British liberal public opinion believed that Jews had suffered
historical injustices, that the West was to blame, and that, therefore,
the West had a responsibility to enable a Jewish homeland.
The whole world knew by then that at the time of the Declaration, Palestinians - the 'non-Jewish communities in Palestine' - constituted 90 per cent of the population there.
Jews numbered about 50,000. By 1947, on the eve of Israel's declaration of independence, Jews numbered 600,000.
By then, Jews were developing extensive quasi governmental institutions
while provoking increasing resistance from the Palestinians as the saw
the Jews 'acquiring' their land.
The Palestinians staged small uprisings in 1920, 1921, 1929 and 1933, and a major one from 1936 to 1939 but were quashed by the combination of Israel-British forces.
These are the facts that United Nations, England and the US tried to deny -- that they are the roots of this problems!
It's Hitler's fault, too...
This came from MUS as part of his comment on Balfour Declaration which led to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Thanks, bro...
This was what Adolf Hitler said to one of his senior officers sometime in 1939:
"If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job.
As
soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for
example, in Munich on the Marienplatz-as many of them as traffic allows.
Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay
hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically
possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow
and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated.
Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until
Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!"
But no thanks to Hitler, the New World Orde with the establishment of the United Nations, does not allow the Jews to be punished. Hitler had his own reasons.
However, justifications are very much needed. The UN and its Security Council have always been restricted in passing any resolution that condemns Israeli assault on the Palestinians. Tel Aviv, on the other hand, always act on its own perill.
From being offered a place to settle down in 1917, the Jews became conquerers after unilaterally declaring its independence in 1948. The agony of the Palestinians started immediately after that when the Jews gradually took their land by force.
The architects behind such moves - Britain and US - remain adament until now each time the plight of the oppressed Palestinians are brought up at the UN. Having vetoed so many resolutions, both were never serious with their words of helping to solve the conflict.

TOTAL HOLOCAUST!
Its
nowhere safe in Gaza Strip, according to the United Nations. The
Israeli soldiers are everywhere, conducting what was described by an
International Red Cross worker as 'exterminatio
n of Gaza'.
n of Gaza'.
With
more than 1,100 people killed and almost 5,000 injured in less than two
weeks, the massacre was worst ever since the Israel-Falangist stormed
Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon more than 25 years ago.
"This is total holocaust. They shoot everyone on sight," she said.
Israel launched its military offensive on December 27 to the dismay of international community.
Last
Friday, a United Nations resolution called for both warring parties,
Israel and Hamas, to work on a ceasefire and join a peace talk. However,
US (represented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) abstained from
voting.
Annapolis Summit: Is DSAI pro-Israel?
http://justread-whatever.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Israel-Palestine issue has not only attracted various reactions but comments that are of beyond comprehension. Ketam who blogs as keep on bouncing
sent me a long note about Anwar Ibrahim's involvement in the Annapolis
Summit about 2 years ago which, among others, discussed the Hamas,
Palestine and Israel. This comment is , of course, not mine but an
interesting piece to read:
Berikut disiarkan petikan dari blog Anwar Ibrahim pertanyaan seorang pembaca mengenai penglibatan Anwar dalam 'Annapolis Summit.'
Munirah Hayati menanyakan:
Berikut disiarkan petikan dari blog Anwar Ibrahim pertanyaan seorang pembaca mengenai penglibatan Anwar dalam 'Annapolis Summit.'
Munirah Hayati menanyakan:
Saya berpendapat, selain dari sejarah keganasan Zionis yg
sudah berzaman, mutakhir ini US & Israel merasa terancam kerana
Hamas menjadi pilihan rakyat melalui pilihanraya di Palestin pada 2006 @
2007 kalau saya tidak silap. US tidak mengiktiraf Hamas kerana katanya
Hamas adalah pertubuhan ‘teroris’.
Now, based on history any reasonable and fair-minded person will realise, when they look beyond the propaganda line - the Zionists are a much much bigger ‘terrorist’ than Hamas, which is a small, very powerless group of people fighting for their own ‘right of return’ & ‘liberation of Al-Aqsa’. You, Anwar Ibrahim - has been part of the Annapolis Summit in November 2007 - clearly in support of America and their denouncement of Hamas. I wish i can understand why you decided to be part of that. News report from AlJazeera now link the current offensive (i call it genocide & massacre by terrorist Zionist) as a result of careful planning and years of “peaceful negotiation” by US and other countries in summits that are not attended by the legitimate government of the people of Palestine. I pray to Allah every hands that go into the planning of the current massacre will justly be cursed in this life & the next… wassalam.
JAWAPAN ANWAR MENYALAHKAN BTN. MENGAPA ANWAR TAKUT BTN? KATA BTN TAK HEBAT? ANWAR TAKUT BTN? PELIK.....

JAWAPAN ANWAR MENYALAHKAN BTN. MENGAPA ANWAR TAKUT BTN? KATA BTN TAK HEBAT? ANWAR TAKUT BTN? PELIK.....
"Saudari
Munirah, Saya kurang pasti siapa yang sasau menyebar dakyah sebegini
dengan dendam kesumat sademikian. Mungkin hasil latihan fitnah BTN!
Secara konsisten saya menggesa pengiktirafan ke atas HAMAS dan menegur
pimpinan UMNO-BN kerana mengenepikan wakil HAMAS di Kuala Lumpur. Saya
tidak pernah menyentuh apa lagi mendukung Annapolis Summit" - DSAI.
ULASAN PENULIS DALAM TRANUNGKITE - Kenapa Anwar ingin menyalahkan orang lain atau pun BTN tentang tindakkannya menandatangani perjanjian tersebut. Adakah hebat sangat BTN sehingga boleh mempengaruhi akhbar di luar negara untuk menyiarkan berita tersebut. Adakah Anwar sudah tersilap langkah hingga ingin menyalahkan orang lain.
STEVEN CLEMONS dalam The Washington Note mengesahkan ANWAR IBRAHIM, bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia turut sama menandatangani surat 'sokongan' deklarasi "Annapolis Summit" kepada Presiden George W. Bush dan Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, pada 10 October 2007.
ANWAR IBRAHIM dilaporkan telah menandatangani surat 'sokongan' deklarasi itu sebaris dengan JOHN McLAUGHLIN, bekas Timbalan Pengarah CIA; SHLOMO BEN-AMI, bekas Menteri Luar Negara Israel; HARRIET BABBITT bekas Pengarah NDI; JOHN MALOTT, bekas Duta US; CHRISTOPHER PATTEN, Co-Chair of ICG; STEVEN CLEMONS, Pengarah, New America Foundation dan lain-lain lagi.
Semua nama-nama itu merupakah bekas-bekas tokoh berpengaruh kerajaan Amerika dan tokoh luar negara yang pro Amerika. Sudah semestinya tokoh-tokoh Amerika itu sudah mengenali siapakah Anwar Ibrahim dan mengetahui atas alasan apa bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia turut dijemput menandatangani surat deklarasi itu.
Persoalan : 1. Anwar Ibrahim mewakili kepentingan pihak mana dalam menandatangani surat 'sokongan' deklarasi Annapolis Summit itu? Kepentingan Kerajaan AMERIKA atau Negara ISLAM?
2. Atas kapasiti apa Anwar tandatangani surat itu? Diplomat Jemputan Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Ahli kehormat International Crisis Group (ICJ), United States Middle East Project (USMEP) atau bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia?
3. Dengan persetujuan menurunkan tandatangan deklarasi itu, bermakna Anwar telah mengiktiraf kewujudan NEGARA ISRAEL sebagai sebuah negara yang SAH?
4. Kenapa majoriti yang menandatangani deklarasi itu terdiri daripada tokoh-tokoh Amerika yang bukan beragama Islam? Hanya Anwar dan 4 lain beragama Islam sedangkan 77 orang pula bukan beragama Islam?
5. Kenapa deklarasi sokongan Annapolis Summit diketuai 8 tokoh yang berpengaruh di Amerika iaitu Zbigniew Brzezinski, Lee H. Hamilton, Carla Hills, Nancy Kassebaum-Baker, Thomas R. Pickering, Brent Scowcroft, Theodore C Sorenson dan Paul Volcker?
6. Kenapa nama Anwar dimasukkan sebagai senarai kedua bersama tokoh-tokoh badan perisikan, penajaan dan ejen iaitu Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), International Crisis Group (ICG), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), National Democratic Institute (NDI), United States Middle East Project (USMEP), The New American Foundation, Brookings Institution, Open Society Institute, National Intelligence Council, RAND Corporation dan National Security Council ?
7. Adakah badan-badan perisikan, penajaan dan ejen seperti yang disenaraikan di atas sebelum ini pernah terlibat secara langsung (overt) dan tidak langsung (covert) ke atas negara-negara Islam ?
8. Kenapa pula negara Syria dan HAMAS serta majoriti penduduk Palestin menentang 'pelan damai' itu yang dianggap sebagai sangat menguntungkan Israel ?
9. Benarkah dakwaan HAMAS mengatakan Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei (Iran) tidak bersetuju dengan Annapolis Summit dan menyeru dunia Arab memboikotnya.
10. Benarkah Anwar bersama empat orang Islam itu sangat pro-Amerika hingga sanggup membelakangkan kepentingan HAMAS dan majoriti penduduk Palestin yang beragama Islam?
11. Betulkah dakwaan laman web Moon of Alabama menuduh yayasan yang pernah dipegang oleh Anwar, (Foundation For The Future) merupakan grand design Amerika untuk bantu bekalkan senjata kepada kumpulan ABBAS (FATAH) menentang kumpulan HAMAS ? Kumpulan HAMAS dan majoriti penduduk Palestin menolak 'pelan damai' Annapolis Summit.
12. Kalau tuduhan laman web Moon of Alabama tidak benar, kenapakah STEVEN CLEMONS,(salah seorang penandatangan surat deklarasi Annapolis Summit 2007) dalam The Washington Note mengesahkan Foundation For The Future merupakan tajaan AMERIKA menjalankan operasi misteri yang hanya diketahui oleh Jabatan Negara Amerika ?
13. Kalau Foundation For The Future adalah tajaan AMERIKA, adakah Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) dan International Crisis Group (ICJ) yang dipegang oleh Anwar sekarang ini juga merupakan 'tajaan' AMERIKA ?
14. Bukankah usaha AMERIKA 'mendamaikan' antara Ehud Olmert (Israel) dan Abbas (Palestin) sebagai usaha untuk menafikan kemenangan kumpulan HAMAS yang pernah memenangi pilihanraya Palestin sebelum ini ?.
15. Bukankah 'perjanjian damai' antara Israel dan kumpulan Abbas bertujuan untuk menyemarakkan lagi rasa tidak puas hati kumpulan HAMAS kepada Abbas ?
16. Apakah bermaksud, dengan termenterai perjanjian ini, Israel boleh cuci tangan kerana peperangan akan terus berlarutan sesama Islam iaitu antara HAMAS dan FATAH.
17. Kalau begitu, betulkah dakwaan mengatakan "Abbas" merupakan Presiden Palestin, BONEKA Israel dan Amerika ?
18. Betulkah dakwaan Ahmadinejad, Presiden Iran mengatakan Annapolis Summit merupakan projek Amerika yang gagal dan sangat bahaya kepada dunia Islam ?
19. Kalau benar, Israel sudah mula 'angkat bendera putih' dan mahu berdamai dengan negara-negara Islam, kenapakah Israel hasut Amerika supaya serang Iran yang didakwa mempunyai senjata nuklear?
20. Jadi, apa sebenarnya KONSPIRASI di sebalik tabir sedang dimainkan oleh Amerika, Israel dan Anwar Ibrahim yang turut membawa imejnya sebagai "Bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia"?

Proof of Anwar’s Support for Israel: The Annapolis Summit
AIDC – On December 1, 2006, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called on all reformists within and beyond the country to together build an effective institution for a democratic nation.
Rice talked about reformation in the regional context (Middle East and North Africa) and ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which was an important agenda for herself and President Bush.
Also mentioned were former U.S. Supreme Court Judge, Sandra Day O’Connor and former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim, as among important personalities in the Foundation for the Future (FFF), which worked together with regional reformation efforts to realise the agenda for change.
The mission and direction of the FFF, as shown above is part of the 267 documents produced by the U.S. State Department to the Government Accountability Project (GAP), which was responsible for administrative accountability in the U.S.
GAP’s international officer, Shelley Walden used the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as the channel, and it took almost three months to procure the documents and prepare a report on the FFF, which was sponsored by the State Department.
Check out the documents here.

Annapolis Summit 2007
To make good on her promise as mentioned above, Rice organised the
‘Annapolis Summit’, which was aimed at bringing an end to the
conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The summit was held on November 27, 2007 at the Naval Academy
in
Annapolis, Maryland, and was chaired by President George W.Bush.
Israel was represented by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, while
Palestine by the President’s representative, Mahmoud Abbas.
Although the summit had yet to finalise its resolution, the draft document,
‘Road Map for Peace’,
sponsored by President Bush, which rode on
the ‘two states solution’
theme was leaked to Israeli newspaper,
‘Haaretz’ 10 days earlier than
the holding of the summit.
How did Haaretz get hold of the documents at such an early date,
considering that it was a confidential resolution document on the
‘two
states solution’?
According to Wikipedia,
the two-state solution refers to the
solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict currently under discussion,
which calls for
“two states for two peoples.” The two-state solution
envisages the
establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside
the State of
Israel.
What it means is ‘…a solution to form an independent state of
Palestine along with a legitimate nation of Israel.’
The formation and recognition of a legitimate ‘nation of Israel’
became the main reason for the Palestinians, who were represented
by
Hamas and Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khameini to boycott the conference.
The people of Palestine rose in protest. Throughout the Gaza
peninsula
they took to the streets and demonstrated against the ‘two
states’
agenda.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticised
the conference, saying ‘to support Annapolis is to support the Zionist agenda.’
“We do not recognise the representative, who is part of the Annapolis talks…he does not represent the people of Palestine,” said Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh.
As Wikipedia puts it, the Annapolis Summit 2007 was a continuation of the peace agreement between Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat with Israel, and a follow up official visit to Israel in 1977, which culminated with the Camp David Peace Accords in 1978.
Anwar Signs for the Lobbying of the ‘Two States Solution’
Besides his involvement in the FFF, Anwar was also part of the George Soros-sponsored International Crisis Group (ICG).Anwar was appointed as a committee member of the ICG sometime in June, 2006.
At the ICG meeting in Vancouver, Canada in March, 2007, which was also attended by Anwar, the group passed the ‘two states solution’ and subsequently demanded that Islamic countries, in particular the Arab world to establish diplomatic ties with Israel as the best way to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
According to the ICG, this was the best way to put an end to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, as endorsed by the UN Security Council’s Resolution 242 (1967) and (338 (1973), the Camp David Peace Accords (1978), the Quartet 9UN, US, EU and Russia), i.e. to recognise an independent state of Palestine, and at the same time accord the same to a ‘legitimate’ nation of Israel.
The ICG Resolution was agreed by all those who attended, including Lord Patten (the joint chairman), Thomas R. Pickering (joint chairman), Gareth Evans ()president), Morton Abramowitz, Kenneth Adelman, Anwar Ibrahim, Shlomo Ben-Ami, Kim Campbell, Maria Livanos Cattaui, Wesley Clark, Carla Hills, Stephen Solarz, George Soros and others.
Ensuing from the meeting, on October 10, 2007, the ICG once again rose to the occasion when it collaborated with two other U.S. think tanks, namely the United States Middle East Project (USMEP) and the New America Foundation/ American Strategy Programme in sending a lobby letter in support of the President Bush and Condoleezza Rice’s efforts for the calling of a conference between Israel and Palestine, which was later to be known as the Annapolis Summit.
In the lobby letter to President Bush, the ICG, USMEP and the New America Foundation recommended that the U.S. government gave priority to the ‘two states solution’ concept, which would, invariably, establish a legitimate nation of Israel and that of Palestine. Jerusalem was to be the capital of both entities, but the Israeli neighbourhoods coming under Israeli control, while the Arab neighbourhoods to be under the control of ‘independent’ Palestine.
New America Foundation’s Steve Clemons, who was also a signatory in the letter of support for President Bush, went on to reveal how Southeast Asia’s most ‘respected’ Islamic personality, Anwar Ibrahim gave all out support to the Annapolis Summit initiative.
The proof of Anwar’s complicity in all this was revealed by Clemons. Click here, here and here.
Anwar Ibrahim’s name was placed on the same line as that of former CIA Deputy Director, John McLaughlin.
Besides Clemon’s revelation, the ICG, USMEP and the New America Foundation also disseminated on the Internet the names of those who supported the Annapolis Summit with PDF documents downloadable at prospectsforpeace.com and druckversion.studien-von-zeitfragen.net.
Both documents have Anwar Ibrahim’s name. Click here and here.
Rice cooked!
She
helped preparing Security Council’s draft resolution to call for an
immediate ceasefire in Gaza. However, when the resolution was passed on
Friday, she couldn’t help but felt embarrassed when President Bush asked
her to abstain.US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice was ordered to back down from voting for it.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert revealed on Monday that Rice did not end up voting for Resolution 1860, thanks to a phone conversation he held with Bush shortly before the vote.
Upon receiving word that the US was planning to vote in favor of the resolution - viewed by Israel as impractical and failing to address its security concerns - Olmert demanded to get Bush on the phone, and refused to back down after being told that the president was delivering a lecture in Philadelphia.
Bush interrupted his lecture to answer Olmert's call.
“America cannot vote in favor of such a resolution,” Olmert told Bush. Soon afterwards, Rice abstained when votes were counted at the United Nations.
Bujai's note: I think the conflict will stop when there is no more Palestinian left to kill...

INDIAN AMERIKA DUKUNG AKSI BOIKOT ISRAEL
Gerakan boikot Israel yang diserukan oleh kalangan akademis Amerika
baru-baru ini mendapat dukungan penduduk asli Amerika (Indian).
Organisasi yang membawahi penduduk Indian Amerika, "The Council of the
Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA)" menyatakan
dukungannya atas aksi boikot Israel.
"NAISA memutuskan dengan suara bulat untuk mendorong para anggota NAISA dan semua yang mendukung misi NAISA untuk mengikuti boikot (anti-Israel)," demikian pernyataan Presiden NAISA Chadwick Allen tentang deklarasi dukungan boikot yang dibuat NAISA.
Sebagaimana diketahui baru-baru ini kalangan akademisi dan budayawan Amerika yang tergabung dalam American Studies Association (ASA) mendeklarasikan gerakan boikot anti-Israel "US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel". Boikot ini dilakukan sebagai protes atas aksi pendudukan Israel di Palestina yang semakin brutal. Setelah bertahun-tahun berhasil memarginalkan kalangan akademisi dan budayawan dari suara-suara kritis terhadap Israel dan dominasi yahudi di Amerika, gerakan ini merupakan pukulan keras bagi kalangan mapan Amerika yang telah terkooptasi oleh kepentingan zionis yahudi.
Bertahun-tahun hidup dalam penindasan Israel membuat rakyat Palestina semakin sulit mendapatkan akses pendidikan. Hal inilah yang mendorong NAISA menyatakan dukungannya terhadap aksi boikot Israel.
Telah menjadi pengetahuan luas bahwa para penduduk asli Indian memiliki kemiripan nasib dengan rakyat Palestina. Jika India tertindas oleh orang-orang kulit putih Eropa, maka orang-orang Palestina tertindas oleh Israel yang menjajah mereka sejak tahun 1940-an.
Pada awal Juli lalu seorang pelajar Palestina bernama Muatazz Idreis Sharawnah tewas ditembak tentara Israel di Dura, selatan Hebron. Disebutkan Idreis tengah berusaha meraih beasiswa di Lebanon ketika tentara Israel menembakinya. Penduduk menyebutkan tentara Israel melarang petugas palang merah Palestina untuk memberikan pertolongan kepadanya.
Di banyak tempat di wilayah Palestina yang diduduki Israel, anak-anak sekolah dan pelajar Palestina harus mendapatkan perlindungan tentara hanya untuk dapat pergi ke sekolah, atau kalau tidak mereka harus menghadapi resiko lemparan batu hingga penembakan oleh para pemukim yahudi. Pada bulan Februari 2011 lalu dikabarkan para relawan dari Christian Peacemaker Team harus melindungi anak-anak Palestina yang hendak bersekolah di At-Tuwani, selatan Hebron, dari lemparan batu para pemukim Israel.
Dalam sebuah laporan yang dimuat di al Jazeera tgl 30 Mei 2011, Prof. Joseph Massad dari Columbia University, menulis:
"Jumlah anak-anak Palestina yang dibunuh tentara Israel dalam peristiwa Intifada I (1987-1993) adalah 213, diluar mereka yang luka-luka atau bayi-bayi yang lahir cacat akibat ibu-ibu mereka manghirup gas air mata yang ditembakkan Isreal. Kelompok "Save the Children" Swedia memperkirakan bahwa antara 23.600 hingga 29.900 anak-anak membutuhkan perawatan medis akibat luka-luka pukulan tentara Israel selama 2 tahun pertama gerakan Intifada I. Dari jumlah itu sepertiganya adalah anak-anak di bawah 10 tahun."
Menurut sebuah laporan UNICEF disebutkan, "Lebih dari 2.500 anak-anak di Tepi Barat Palestina harus melewati satu atau lebih pos penjagaan Israel setiap harinya untuk sampai di sekolahnya, memaksa sebagian anak-anak perempuan untuk berhenti sekolah karena harus bersekolah di luar komunitasnya."

Pada awal Juli lalu seorang pelajar Palestina bernama Muatazz Idreis Sharawnah tewas ditembak tentara Israel di Dura, selatan Hebron. Disebutkan Idreis tengah berusaha meraih beasiswa di Lebanon ketika tentara Israel menembakinya. Penduduk menyebutkan tentara Israel melarang petugas palang merah Palestina untuk memberikan pertolongan kepadanya.
Di banyak tempat di wilayah Palestina yang diduduki Israel, anak-anak sekolah dan pelajar Palestina harus mendapatkan perlindungan tentara hanya untuk dapat pergi ke sekolah, atau kalau tidak mereka harus menghadapi resiko lemparan batu hingga penembakan oleh para pemukim yahudi. Pada bulan Februari 2011 lalu dikabarkan para relawan dari Christian Peacemaker Team harus melindungi anak-anak Palestina yang hendak bersekolah di At-Tuwani, selatan Hebron, dari lemparan batu para pemukim Israel.
Dalam sebuah laporan yang dimuat di al Jazeera tgl 30 Mei 2011, Prof. Joseph Massad dari Columbia University, menulis:
"Jumlah anak-anak Palestina yang dibunuh tentara Israel dalam peristiwa Intifada I (1987-1993) adalah 213, diluar mereka yang luka-luka atau bayi-bayi yang lahir cacat akibat ibu-ibu mereka manghirup gas air mata yang ditembakkan Isreal. Kelompok "Save the Children" Swedia memperkirakan bahwa antara 23.600 hingga 29.900 anak-anak membutuhkan perawatan medis akibat luka-luka pukulan tentara Israel selama 2 tahun pertama gerakan Intifada I. Dari jumlah itu sepertiganya adalah anak-anak di bawah 10 tahun."
Menurut sebuah laporan UNICEF disebutkan, "Lebih dari 2.500 anak-anak di Tepi Barat Palestina harus melewati satu atau lebih pos penjagaan Israel setiap harinya untuk sampai di sekolahnya, memaksa sebagian anak-anak perempuan untuk berhenti sekolah karena harus bersekolah di luar komunitasnya."

Native Americans join academic boycott of Israel

The
council of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association
(NAISA) has declared its support for the boycott of Israeli academic
institutions.
Years of conflict have greatly impacted the ability of Palestinians
to receive an education. This critical issue has now prompted one of
America's leading Native American group to join the US Campaign for the
Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.NAISA says the decision came after much discussion. In fact they wrote their own declaration of support, rather than simply adding their name to the existing declaration.
Chadwick Allen, 2013-2014 NAISA President, says a NAISA member initially brought the petition to the attention of the NAISA Council. "After extensive deliberation on the merits of the petition, the NAISA Council decided by unanimous vote to encourage members of NAISA and all who support its mission to honor the boycott."
It is no secret that many Native Americans find a distinct parallel between their own history and that of the Palestinians, who have lived under Israeli occupation since the late 1940's.
In occupied Palestine, students who attempt to reach Lebanon to file scholarship paperwork have been shot and killed.Ninetieen-year-old Palestinian student Muatazz Idreis Sharawnah was struck down on the first of July this year when he was shot by an Israeli military vehicle in the Dura city in the southern West Bank district of Hebron. Locals say the Israeli military blocked the access of Palestinian Red Crescent Association paramedics when they attempted to reach Sharawnah to offer emergency care and evacuate him to hospital1.
It was reported on 07 February 2011, that Christian Peacemaker Team volunteers were escorting Palestinian children to school in At-Tuwani in the South Hebron Hills to protect them from stone throwing Israeli settlers.
In an al Jazeera article from 30 May 2011, Joseph Massad, a professor of intellectual history at Columbia University, wrote, "The number of Palestinian children killed by Israeli soldiers in the first Intifada (1987-1993) was 213, not counting the hundreds of induced miscarriages from tear gas grenades thrown inside closed areas targeting pregnant women, and aside from the number of the injured. The Swedish branch of Save the Children estimated that "23,600 to 29,900 children required medical treatment for their beating injuries in the first two years of the Intifada,” one third of whom were children under the age of ten. In the same period, Palestinian attacks resulted in the deaths of five Israeli children.
According to UNICEF, "More than 2,500 children in the West Bank cross through one or more checkpoints daily to reach their schools, with girls mostly dropping out when they need to travel to schools outside their communities. Exposure to the November 2012 escalation of conflict in Gaza has had a devastating impact on the psychosocial well-being of children and adolescents."Regarding NAISA's decision to join the Boycott, Inside Higher Ed touched on the critical aspect of Israeli involvement, discussing how
"Academic boycotts have been deeply controversial: opponents argue that boycotts in general represent a violation of academic freedom while saying that boycotts against Israel in particular are discriminatory in singling out one nation for criticism."In their declaration, NAISA clearly confirms their understanding that everyone is not on the same page when it comes to Israel and Palestine, and explains they are committed to the robust intellectual and ethical engagement of difficult and often highly charged issues of land, identity, and belonging. "Our members will have varying opinions on the issue of the boycott, and we encourage generous dialog that affirms respectful disagreement as a vital scholarly principle. We reject shaming or personal attacks as counter to humane understanding and the greater goals of justice, peace, and decolonization."
Edward Said, the world-renowned scholar, writer and critic, wrote after visiting Jerusalem and the West Bank that Israel's violence strengthened Palestinian determination. "Palestine and Palestinians remain, despite Israel's concerted efforts from the beginning either to get rid of them or to circumscribe them so much as to make them ineffective," Said wrote in the English-language Al-Ahram Weekly, published in Cairo.
NAISA's President Chadwick Allen explains that the NAISA Council's Declaration of Support for the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions is an expression of the group's dedication to free academic inquiry about, with, and by Indigenous communities.
The declaration states:
"The NAISA Council protests the infringement of the academic freedom of Indigenous Palestinian academics and intellectuals in the Occupied Territories and Israel who are denied fundamental freedoms of movement, expression, and assembly, which we uphold.
"As the elected council of an international community of Indigenous and allied non-Indigenous scholars, students, and public intellectuals who have studied and resisted the colonization and domination of Indigenous lands via settler state structures throughout the world, we strongly protest the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands and the legal structures of the Israeli state that systematically discriminate against Palestinians and other Indigenous peoples."As scholars dedicated to the rights of Indigenous peoples, says NAISA, they affirm that their efforts are directed specifically at the Israeli regime, not at Israeli individuals.
"The NAISA Council encourages NAISA members to boycott Israeli academic institutions because they are imbricated with the Israeli state and we wish to place pressure on that state to change its policies. We champion and defend intellectual and academic freedom, and we recognize that conversation and collaboration with individuals and organizations in Israel/Palestine can make an important contribution to the cause of justice. In recognition of the profound social and political obstacles facing Palestinians in such dialogues, however, we urge our members and supporters to engage in such actions outside the aegis of Israeli educational institutions, honoring this boycott until such time as the rights of the Palestinian people are respected and discriminatory policies are ended."The challenges faced by Native American people were insurmountable for millions and millions. The University of Minnesota's page "Brief History of American Indian Education" reveals that in 1990, "among those in the population who were 25 years and older, 66% of American Indians finished high school, compared to 75% of the total US population." Only 9% had attained a bachelor’s degree or higher. Compare that to the total US population, of whom roughly 20% attain their four year degree. Only about 3 percent of Native American people hold graduate or professional degrees, compared to 7% of the total US population. "In 1992, the dropout rate for American Indians was 56% and 46% for Alaskan Natives."
The list goes on and on, proving that the educational impacts starting with the arrival of the conquistadors have remained in place. It is hard to imagine how the Palestinians will not be facing the fallout from this problem for many years to come.
Educators and students in America are not always aware of the historical impact on the state of American Indian education today. "While there may have been collaboration in some communities, federal policies did not support cooperation on a national level. Federal policies for American Indian cultural assimilation were implemented after policies of extermination and removal were set aside," the Univ. of Minn. writes.

"The

the US government."Absolutely, we all have a common enemy who loathes
our existence. Notably the indigenous peoples of Canada, Where killing
'them off" has a more recent history than in the US
