Palestine-Israel, The struggle is nearing a turning point and so is the joint struggle*

Though lot of comrades loose their enthusiasm along the years some drop out entirely or emigrate, the struggle continue - both in the struggle for social justice, and the joint struggle against the occupation and the transfer pressures within Israel. The mounting world pressures energized by the local struggles seems to increase qualitatively and so the fears of them by the Israeli elite. Most interesting news in this weekend article and editorial of the daily newspaper Haaretz: "...Contrary to Bennett's statements, sources in Jerusalem say threat of European boycotts on Israel is real" Excerpt: "... large number of those investment committees [of the banking system] considered recommending to the banks to prohibit loans or aid of any kind to Israeli companies that operate in the West Bank − manufacturing there, selling their products, building homes and so forth − and also to Israeli banks that grant mortgages to home builders or buyers across the Green Line. "

Guardian: EU takes tougher stance on Israeli settlements
'Earthquake' directive will prohibit EU states from signing deals with Israel unless settlement exclusion clause is included

Haaretz: Israeli economy at stake as EU takes stand on settlements: The sense that Israel was not truly interested in ending the occupation pushed the EU to turn unwritten rules into official, binding ones.

The transfer of the Palestinians from the 75% areas of Palestine robbed by the Zionist settler colonialist project 1948 was not complete. Part of this was because pressures from the imperial powers that their support was essential to the whole project. All along the years the Israeli state pressured in plethora of ways to remaining Palestinian to emigrate. However about 20% of the Israeli citizens are Palestinians - treated as second rate and subject to pressures to emigrate or at least to shrink the portion of land they posses. Last few years the pressure applied on the Israeli Palestinian Bedouins to relocate from their rural villages to a much smaller urban areas is intensifying.
The joint struggle of the Arkib village already destroyed more than 50 times was reported in the weekly report.

Bil'in

First Friday demo in the Ramadan. 8 Israelis with anarchists against the wall initiative, 4 internationals and about two dozen Bil'iners marched between the barbed fences "protecting" the separation wall. When we arrived at the gate in the wall we have seen there the new right wing of the gate in the fence of the barbed wire - replacement of the one confiscated the previous week and dragged as a trophy to the village. The Shabab started the stone trowing and slowly the state force replied with gradually increased tear gas grenades. When the tear gas accumulated we returned to the village.

Qaddum

The demonstration today in Qaddum was strange: quieter than what we were used to in recent weeks.
Before prayer army lurked among abandoned houses and then came and tried to arrest two Shabab. These had not give up and managed to escape.
The march began after the usual prayer. This time there was no obstructing road blocks within the village and we walked almost to the fence. The army intruded for short whiles and than returned to its lurking.
Gas was shot sparingly and the demonstration passed relatively quietly.
