Palestinians Forced to Apply for Permits
Thu Nov 6, 3:11 AM ET
By RAVI NESSMAN, Associated Press Writer
JUBARA, West Bank - The Palestinians of Jubara were alarmed when
Israeli
soldiers began posting notices on telephone poles and at checkpoints
around
their small West Bank village.
The military had already trapped them in a tiny pocket of land between
Israel and its West Bank security barrier, giving them only sporadic
access
to their schools, clinics and fields across the fence.
The notices told of an unprecedented new order: everyone must apply
for a
special permit to remain in Jubara - the village has about 300
residents.
The notices did not specifically mention expulsion, but Palestinian
officials and villagers said they understand this to be the implied
threat.
The new restrictions affect nearly 7,500 Palestinians living in what
Israel
calls the "seam zone."
"This is where my livelihood is. If they kick me out of here, how will
I
care for my nine children?" said Burhan Odeh, 38, who has olive and
orange
groves in Jubara.
U.N. officials said the order is unprecedented in Israel's 36-year
occupation of the West Bank. "It really turns the right to live in
your own
home into a privilege," said David Shearer, head of the local U.N.
Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
For many Palestinians, being expelled from their homes and villages is
one
of the worst fates they could imagine - worse, even, than
imprisonment. Many
fear Israel plans to force them into tiny enclaves in the West Bank
and
claim the rest of the land for themselves.
The army said the new order is not part of a secret expulsion plan,
but an
effort to keep militants from crossing the new security fence to carry
out
attacks in Israel.
"We do not intend to dislocate people from their homes. Yet we need to
take
into consideration that people who do not need to be near the fence
are not
near the fence," said Maj. Sharon Feingold, an army spokeswoman.
However, residents will not win automatic approval.
"Anyone who wants to get a permit should apply for a permit. If we are
convinced that a person has business in the area, then this will be
taken
into consideration," she said.
People in Jubara refused to apply for the permits, which have to be
renewed
each year. The army issued them anyway, using a list of residents but
initially leaving off about 20 people, some of whom had served time in
Israeli prisons.
One of the 20 was Odeh, the farmer.
"They said they had turned me down for security reasons," Odeh said as
he
waited behind concertina wire for soldiers to open a gate so he could
visit
his mother in a neighboring village. "I've never had any problems with
the
army."
The army has since agreed to grant the 20 permits, but only for three
months, and Odeh fears he will eventually be expelled from the village
he
has lived in since he was 12.
About 90 miles of the barrier have been completed in the northern West
Bank,
mostly following the invisible frontier with Israel, but periodically
dipping into the West Bank. The planned route for the southern section
would
cut deep into the West Bank to protect Israeli settlements, trapping
many
more Palestinians.
"If the (residency) regulation is extended to where the new wall is
supposed
to go, then tens of thousands of people will be in exactly the same
situation," said Shearer, who said he had no problem with the barrier
itself, just its route.
President Bush (news - web sites) has expressed concern about the
security
barrier, saying it could interfere with conditions for setting up a
Palestinian state.
The new order, issued Oct. 2, turned the areas between the barrier and
Israel into closed zones. No Palestinian can enter or leave without a
special pass and no one can live there without a residence permit.
Israelis
are exempted from the regulations.
Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat called the new orders "a
depopulation program."
Others also were worried about farmers cut off from their fields and
workers
cut off from their jobs who might be forced to move away to support
their
families.
"It's a direct expulsion and an indirect expulsion," said Jamal Juma,
who is
coordinating a campaign against the barrier for Pengon, a private
Palestinian organization. "This will destroy their lives, destroy
their
culture, destroy everything, destroy their future."
The problems created by the barrier were visible throughout Jubara,
near the
northern West Bank town of Tulkarem.
Trash was piling up because garbage trucks were unable to enter.
Farmers were forced to hire people on the other side of the fence to
pick
their olives, sometimes paying them with half the harvest.
Children trying to get to school hoped soldiers would be there to open
the
fence.
On a recent day, dozens of children ages 6 to 15 waited after school
in the
hot midday sun behind the mustard yellow gate, some for more than an
hour,
until soldiers standing nearby let them cross back into the village.
But the residency permits have caused the most worry here and inspired
sharp
debate among the villagers. Some eventually accepted the permits,
fearing
they could be thrown off their land if they didn't. Others rejected
the
idea, hoping that by refusing the passes they could make the new order
unworkable.
Saleh Jbara, 51, appeared confused about the purpose of the permit,
but he
agreed to accept it after one of his sons, left off the initial list,
was
approved for three months.
"If I didn't get this for my son, where would he be right now?" he
asked.
But Yousef Tahseen, a 30-year-old construction worker born in Jubara,
defiantly rejected his.
"They can't kick me out," he said. "This is my home. This is where
I'll
die."

The Story of the Yemenite Jewish Community 1948-1952
Genocide in the Holy Land
Rabbi Moshe Schonfeld
From 1948 to 1952 more than 50,000 Yemenite Jews were fooled
by the Zionist Jewish Agency into abandoning their ancient home and
way of life and instead moving to the Zionist State, where they were
summarily uprooted from their dedication to Judaism. Indeed, a boy
testified later to the religious Peiylim organization that he was
taken to an orchard during the Sabbath on an orange-picking trip.
When he protested that this violated the Sabbath, he was told: "Only
in Yemen is there a Sabbath; here, in Israel there is no Sabbath." A
former teacher at the Ein Shemer immigrant camp testified that at a
meeting of teachers a camp official announced that the sidecurls of
all the boys were to be cut and that, should a protest rise over it,
the parents should be told that it was being done for "hygienic"
reasons. (They found no hygienic reasons, however, to cut the hair of
the girls). Yemenite boys were told, "there is no need for sidecurls
in Israel."
These events were even born out by the report of the Commission
appointed by the Zionist government to investigate the conditions in
the camps after protests by religious elements. After visiting all
the camps and listening to 181 witnesses, this Commission officially
reported that:
1. Anti-religious prejudices and acts were openly initiated by
camp officials and counselors.
2. "Soul-snatching" was not unusual.
3. Peyos (sidelocks) of religious Yemenite children were
systematically cut off, and were clearly untended as an anti-religious
act.
4. Some camps allowed a systematic abuse of religion. Religious
children were weaned away from their religion, and parents were
intimidated into accepting a non-religious education for their
children.
5. Children in UJA supported camps were told that in Israel there
was no Sabbath as in the Diaspora, that there is no G-d, and that all
religious observances are rubbish.
6. The sudden imposition of other customs that shook the "very
foundations of morality" of the children.
The project of the Zionists to bring Yemenite Jews to the Zionist
State was called
Operation Magic Carpet. This was to appeal to the unwitting belief of
the pious Yemenite Jews that the establishment of the Zionist State
heralded the arrival of the Messiah, as they were told by Zionist
emissaries. The Zionists even worked with local Arab and British
authorities in Aden (southern Yemen) to assist them in seeking to
evacuate the Jews from Yemen. Although some of the Yemen Jews were
evacuated by airplane, many made the trek to "greet the Messiah in
Jerusalem" by foot! Little did they know that they were heading for
the Zionist hell that awaited them to destroy their pure souls.
When they arrived in the Zionist state the Yemenite Jews were
first assigned to immigrant camps, where in a number of investigations
religious organizations discovered that the Yemenites were being
systematically alienated from their religious heritage. It was
discovered that camp staff were not religious Jews, religious study
was discouraged, and prayers were disrupted. These events transpired
in locations known as Ein Shemer (which resembled a concentration camp
with its barb wire fence), Atlit, Be'er Yaakov and Machane Yisrael.
Religious Jews who sought access to these camps to assist the
Yemenites were refused entry or discriminated against by the Zionist
overseers. Sanctions were imposed against those who tried to promote
religious studies in the camps, children who studied Torah and their
parents! The non-religious staff flaunted their disregard for religion
in front of the pious Yemenites and encouraged dancing and other
social activities between boys and girls, something thoroughly
forbidden by Judaism.
As is typical of their practice against their Jewish opponents
everywhere, the Zionists resorted to threats, penalties, intimidation
and strong-arm methods. Even the religious Zionist newspaper Hatsofeh
reported on December 12, 1955 that in the settlement of Achuzam,
"ůthe campaign of oppression against the residents of Achuzam,
north of Be'er Sheba, to ignore their request for religious education
reached a new height with the organized bloody attacks in the last few
days. Twenty-four villages, all from the religious community, some
severely wounded, are still in jail after having been arrested four
days agoů"
The Zionists undertook a systematic campaign throughout the
locations where they settled Yemenite Jews to discourage them from
remaining loyal to Judaism in favor of the godless bliss of the
Zionist Paradise. It is widely known, and investigations in the
Zionist state itself confirmed, that the Zionists even took away
newborn babies to give them to childless couples, and told the natural
parents that the children had died of illness.
Treatment similar to that experienced by the Yemenite Jews was
experienced by Jews from Morocco, Iraq, Tunisia and Libya.

Genocide in the Holy Land
Rabbi Moshe Schonfeld
There were a number of groups of Jewish refugee children who
were brought to Iran on their way to Palestine during World War II,
where they were placed in a town called Atlit. These children came
from authentic religious homes, and were subject to every technique
their Zionist overseers could think of in order to tear them away from
their religion. This activity, of course, was perpetrated on many
occasions after World War II, including against pure Jewish
communities who were fooled into leaving their homes in Yemen and
other Arab countries and depart for the Zionist state.
The Zionist body known as the Jewish Agency established a camp
for refugees in Tehran, Iran, in the summer of 1942 where several
hundred children were under the supervision of members of the
notoriously anti-religious organization known as Hashomer Hatsa'ir
[The Young Guard]. Beginning with the holy days of the new Jewish
year, the children were denied the opportunity to attend religious
services at synagogues in Tehran, and on the fast day of Yom Kippur,
their Zionist overseers mocked the religion by eating in the presence
of the children. In addition, the kitchen at the refugee camp was not
kosher, and children were punished for refusing to eat non-kosher
food.
The so-called camp counselors even sought to encourage
immorality by presenting themselves as "models" of immoral behavior in
the presence of the religious teenage refugees. Children were even
denied proper new clothing, and had to make due with old clothing.
By the early months of 1943 news reports of events in Tehran
found their way into religious publications, and even the religious
Zionists were incensed at the way the refugee children were being
treated. Committees spent the next several months trying to find out
what was occurring both in Tehran and in Atlit and seeking to correct
the anti-Jewish orientation of the refugee camp.
The Zionist Jewish Agency proclaimed in February 1943 that it
is our wish specifically for educational reasons that the new
immigrant children should see Palestine as it really is: the land
under Hebrew secular construction. p.74
The attempts of members of the religious organization, Agudath Israel,
to protect the children were frustrated at every opportunity by the
anti-religious elements supervising the children. Indeed,
correspondence between the Agudath Israel and the Jewish Agency
indicated the refusal of the latter (in a letter from Agency leader
Yitzhak Greenbaum) to assure religious education for the refugee
children, and instead pontificated in the framework of vain Zionist
nationalism:
It is our opinion that children aged 14 and over are capable
of choosing their\
lifestyles themselves. Your comment is not intended to clarify
a decision but to
argue against a decision. Our paragraph c means that Jewish
children coming
to this land will be trained to be good citizens of the
motherland, will prepare
themselves for a productive life, and will actively
participate in the building
up of the land. P. 89.
Zionist leaders such as Henrietta Szold strongly resisted any
requests of religious activists to assure that the refugee children,
most of whom had come from religious homes, would be placed in
religious communities following their arrival in Atlit. Instead, they
worked to have the children placed in atheistic, Zionist kibbutzim.
Unfortunately there was not sufficient cooperation between all
religious elements, and the Zionist Mizrachi activists sought to
retain their close relationship with the secular Zionists and their
loyalty to the Zionist nationalist program in Palestine. Ultimately
political rather than purely spiritual considerations of the religious
and non-religious Zionist groups resulted in the distribution of
refugee children from religious backgrounds among the Agudah and
Mizrachi movements.

Aner
sits on the one narrow strip of porch the bulldozers didn't tear off
and
watches incredulously as workers finish putting up fences all around
his house.
As Israel completes the construction of its separation barrier in
the West
Bank, the 46-year-old farmer's land on the edge of this village has
shrunk to
a tiny parcel around his small home, which is about to be completely
surrounded by barbed wire.
The Palestinian father of six gives a tour of his shrivelled
estate.
"Let me show you the limits of my prison: a metre from my bedroom
window is
the fence protecting the Elqana settlement, opposite my living room an
eight-metre (26-foot)-high concrete wall and an army gate on either
side."
Masha lies five kilometres (three miles) east of the Green Line
that
separated the West Bank from Israel after the 1967 Middle East war.
A month ago, the fortified barrier that had loosely followed the
Green Line
along the northern section of the West Bank began to plough its way
south
towards Masha, cutting deep into Palestinian territory and ripping
through the
acre (one-third hectare) of land on which Aner had his flower
nurseries.
When this section is completed, Aner's house will be the only one
in Masha
left on the Israeli side, caught in an intricate network of walls,
fences and
gates.
"My front terrace is now a military patrol road. I already have
humvees and
jeeps whizzing past my house less than five metres (yards) away," he
says.
Israel says the barrier is necessary to prevent infiltrations from
West
Bank militants.
In contrast, the Palestinians charge that the true aim is to
pre-determine
the borders of their future state and drive out residents from fertile
areas
by slicing up villages and creating unsustainable living conditions.
Out of the hundreds of human disasters that punctuate the
meandering of the
barrier, Aner's situation reaches a peak in absurdity.
"In a week's time, my house will be in a closed military zone and I
will
need a special authorisation from the army to cross the gate and step
out on
the street and another authorisation to go back," he says with
sardonic smirk.
"I am a strong man, and I believe that sooner or later my
oppressors will
be punished, but I am worried for the mental health of my children.
What kind
of adults will they become, growing up in this monstrosity?"
Further north, a 15-minute drive up the fence's freshly-tarmacked
patrol
road, a group of schoolchildren from the small West Bank village of
Jubara are
trudging across the barrier under army supervision, carrying thir
books and
bags of shopping.
Jubara is a hamlet of 300 inhabitants, two shops and a mosque. For
several
months now, the the Israeli barrier has separated the village's 88
children
from their school in nearby Arras.
"Today we only waited 20 minutes for the soldiers to open the gate,
but two
days ago we waited for two hours, and last week there was a day when
we
couldn't cross at all," says nine-year-old Mohammed Faruq.
"Every morning, I take him to the checkpoint as early as 6:30 to
make sure
he is not late to school," says his father, Awad.
"Then I pick him up to check everything is going smoothly with the
soldiers
and help him with the bags. Adults are not given permits by the army,
so the
whole of Jubara relies on the schoolchildren to bring supplies from
Arras," he
explains.
The roadblock leading to the major Palestinian city of Tulkarem has
erratic
opening hours at best and Jubara is dying a slow death in a
one-kilometre
(half a mile)-wide enclave.
On November 9, anniversary of the day the Berlin Wall fell in 1989,
families and communities that have been separated by Israel's barrier,
will
kick off a week of activities and protests to be echoed by events
organised in
scores of capitals worldwide.
Ariel

President Arafat: Israel Used Depleted Uranium to Suppress the
Palestinian People
RAMALLAH, November 10,2003 (IPC + WAFA)-- Palestinian President Yasser
Arafat asserted that Israel used depleted uranium against the
Palestinian people, which was evidently verified by American and
European assertions as well as the cancer rate among Palestinians has
risen similar to that caused in “Hiroshima”.
Arafat’s remarks came following his reception of a delegation
involving Christian, Jewish and Muslim figures headed by Mitchell Koal
on Sunday in his office in Rammallah.
Speaking to the delegation, President Arafat disclosed that the
Apartheid Wall had confiscated 58% of the Palestinian lands in the
West Bank, besides the disastrous economic consequences the wall
caused; destroying farms, factories and turning the Palestinian cities
into isolated cantons.
Arafat, who has been besieged in his battered compound in Ramallah for
19 months by Israel, pointed out that there are Israeli generals who
refused to serve in the occupied Palestinian territories or
participate in the criminal and wrong-doings committed there.
He added that the Israeli occupying forces perished 64-65% of the
olive groves and stole 90% of the palm trees in Deir al Balah, over
4,762 Palestinian houses were demolished and the toll of killed and
wounded people exceeded 71,000.
Grumbling about the Israeli movement restrictions, President Arafat
mentioned that traveling between Ramallah and Bethlehem normally takes
three hours but at present, travelers were obliged to wait long hours
to cross the distance, not to mention that women in labor were denied
access to pass through the checkpoints, and eventually they gave birth
at the checkpoints.
“Where do such doings happen in the world?” President Arafat
exclaimed.
Up to this moment, the Israeli government has not yet approved the
"Road Map" peace process and conditioned about 14 amendments on the
plan as well as the Israeli slam of all the agreed upon agreements
including the Mitchell report, Tenet Understandings and the UN
resolutions, President Arafat briefed the delegation.
“We (Palestinians) want an equitable and everlasting peace that was
agreed upon with the late Yitzhak Rabin,” Arafat said.
Mr. Koal, on his part, asserted the backing of international and
regional peace and dialogue and that the delegation came to solidify
with the Palestinian people and to channel the Palestinian ordeal to
Europe.

| Depleted Uranium
|
| Depleted uranium has supposedly had horrifying effects in the Gulf
| War. Let's crunch a few numbers. Kuwait has an area of 17,881 square
| miles. If we assume the war zone was Kuwait and a similar area in
| Iraq and if we assume that the ground in the area has an average
| amount of natural radioactivity, (4 ppm of uranium) then the top
| inch of the war zone has over 20,000 tons of natural uranium --- far
| more than was used as ammunition.
|
| Radioactivity might not be that dangerous. People in the Rocky
| Mountain States ("where the scenery's attractive and the air is
| radioactive" --- Professor Tom Lehrer) have low cancer mortality
| rates. There is also no evidence of multi-generation damage at
| Hiroshima.
|
| Uranium-238 is not very radioactive anyway. It is more dangerous
| because of chemical poisoning than radiation poisoning. (It's the
| second least radioactive actinide, just behind thorium-232.) If we
| didn't use U-238, we would have traditionally used lead --- another
| chemical poison.
