1. Abed Raba has a piece of land which he inherited
from his father and grandfather, on the south-east slope of Nahal Refaim,
south of Jerusalem, overlooking the biblical zoo, Ein-Yael, Gilo and
neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Abed llives on this land of his, and its special
location has made it a natural meeting place for Israelis, Palestinians, and
internationals, who come to make personal acquaintances and contacts across
nationalities and faiths. Among the activities that take place there are:
musical gatherings of "All Nations Cafe", workshops of Permaculture, marketing
of Palestinian products, meetings and listening circles of various groups of
peace activists, and Yoga classes, and more... Abed says he's "The president of
Love and Peace".
ย
In the past couple of weeks Abed has received daily
"visits" from policemen from the checkpoint below, who threatened him and said
he has no right to be on the land and must get out of there. He was taken
several times for "questioning"ย at a police station and released at a
checkpoint far from his land, having to come back on his own every time. This
morning (Tues. 25.8.09) three people came: one "regular" policeman with blue
uniform, one representative of the Israeli ministry of interiors, and one border
police man from the checkpoint. They presented him with a summon for questioning
first thing tomorrow morning at 8.00 at the police station in Talpiot.
ย
To add to the picture - in the background there is a
rich man who is showing some interest in the real-estate and has intentions of
buildingย a neighborhood for Jews.
ย
Abed would be happy to receive help in the following
ways:
+ encouragement, moral support, even over the phone, to
show him that there are people standing by him.
+ physical presence in the place - by a number of
people, for as long as possible, to discourage any violence from authority
representatives.
+ spread the word, tell the story, anywhere you can
think of: friends, emails, internet, written and electronic media, etc.
+ legal aid

Abed's phone is: 052-2458216 (Arabic and

"My grandson, Amir, 10 years old,
came to stay with me during the Ramadan fast, on the lands of al-Arkib,
whichย had beenย our tribe's land for generations.ย Suddenly, three
members of the so-called "Green Patrol" showed up, brutally charged and cut with
a knife the ropes of my tent.ย They took away the tent and the table which
I had improvised from some pieces of wood.ย They left me and the frightened
child in the middle of the desert, under the blazing sun, knowing well that I am
fasting, and that however thirsty, I would not drink until sunset," says Nuri al
Ukbi, Head of the Association for Defence of Bedouin Rights.ย "The Green
Patrol people were headed by a man named Gad Beton, who had already assaulted me
on previous occasions.ย the other two, armed with pistols, refused to
identify themselves."
ย
Nuri al Ukbi says that the Green
Patrol violence will not deter him from continuing his struggle and the sit-in
vigil which he is maintaining in the Al-Arkib lands, northeast of Be'er Sheba,
from which his tribe was expelled in 1951.ย "I am not a stranger in this
land, nor a squatter or trespasser.ย I was born here and lived here as a
child, and here the al-Ukbi tribe lived for generations before the state of
Israel came into being.ย I came back to this land in April 2006; I live on
it, and I came back every time after being detained or assaulted.ย I will
continue to sit here despite all the difficulties and harassment, until justice
is done to my tribe."

3. Ahmad
Abu-Ras is a young man from a Palestinian village called "Sawiya", near
Tapuach junction. Ahmad entered Israel without a permit, seeking work and income
for himself and his family, as do many people from that village (and others). Ahmad was arrested on 10.2.09 and
held at the "Lev Tel-Aviv" police station in Dizengof st. in Tel-Aviv, then
transferred to Abu Kabir, then released on bale. In his trial, a few months
later, he was fined and sentenced to conditional arrest. At the time of his
arrest his personal belongings were taken from him, and he got a note with the
following list: 56.60 NIS in cash, two keys, and a cellular phone. This week
(23.8.09), I went to Abu-Kabir with that note, and with a power of attorney from
Ahmad, to try and get his personal belongings back. I was directed to the
"Lev-Tel-Aviv" police station, and when I arrived there with the same quest, I
was told that the stuff were handed to a Palestinian aid organization called
"The red crescent". Ahmad inquired in both the red crescent and the red cross,
but learned that neither one of them has ever received any of his a.m.
belongings.
ย
- Where have they
disappeared? somewhere between the Israeli police and the red crescent or the
red cross - it's a mystery to me, I would appreciate if anyone has any idea.
Also, Ahmed is still waiting to receive from the Israeli court the balance of
his bale money, after deduction of the fine - i.e.: 4,000-1,500=2,500
NIS.
