Signale aus München
– Tagung mit Juden, Israelis, Palästinenser
und Deutschen –
Reiner Bernstein
Die Tagung am 16. und 17. November stand
unter schwierigen Vorzeichen. Als sich rund
vierzig Vertreterinnen und Vertreter jüdisch-palästinensischer
Dialoggruppen aus Basel, Berlin, Brüssel,
Frankfurt am Main, Leipzig, München,
Solothurn, Wien und Zürich in München
trafen, waren gerade die hiesigen „Palästina-Tage“
zu Ende gegangen, die in der Stadt strittige
Aufmerksamkeit erregt hatten. Zur gleichen
Zeit kamen aus dem Nahen Osten verheerende
Nachrichten über die Ermordung von zwölf
Israelis in der Nähe von Hebron, die die
Regierenden in Jerusalem zu den üblichen
Reaktionen veranlassten: Das Militär schlug
mit der ihm zu Gebote stehenden Feuerkraft zurück,
und Sharon distanzierte sich von dem
„Hebron-Protokoll“, das sein
innerparteilicher Rivale Netanyahu Anfang 1997
unter starkem Druck aus Washington
unterzeichnet hatte. Eine weitere Runde des
Blutvergießens zeichnete sich ab.

Ramallah, One Day and One Night under the
Occupation
Yehudith Harel
Just one short glimpse into another reality,
a reality of the Israeli Occupation of
Ramallah, the most central city of Palestine.
October 2002. Why should an Israeli just
"visit" Ramallah these days? For
sure it is not the most pleasant place in the
world to "visit" and there is a big
question mark over the legitimacy of such a
visit by an Israeli these days. Despite of
various possible reservations, I think it was
an important visit for me. One has to see and
feel what the Occupation really looks and
feels and smells like. It is one thing to hear
about the Occupation and another thing to be
there, to see and hear and feel and sense and
smell and touch it, even if for a short time.

Reports from Checkpoints around Bethlehem
MachsomWatch
started its observations in February, 2001
with three women and as of October 2002
numbers 80 volunteers in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv
and the Jezreel Valley area. Members include
Jewish and Palestinian Israeli women aged from
early twenties to over 70. Observations are
conducted twice daily and a report is issued
after each shift. When reading them remember
that no Palestinian may enter Israel, nor
indeed move freely around the West Bank (and
Gaza), without a permit from the Israeli
authorities. Presented here in edited form,
our reports give a day-by-day account of the
checkpoints. Many of them describe a routine
that is devoid of drama, and bloodshed, and
perhaps all the morefor shocking for that.The
sights we see, the experiences we undergo,
together with Palestinians citizens forced to
make their way across these obstacles are
those of human heartbreak and the abuse of the
most fundamental human rights: the right of
freedom of movement, access to medical care,
access to education. Full versions of these
reports may be obtained from machsomwatch@hotmail.com

Olives for Peace

This
was the second dreadful year
Dan Bar-On
I did a summary
of what I wrote during the previous Jewish
year, as the violent events started around the
Jewish holidays of 2000 (“that was the year
that was”). Things have only deteriorated
since then, so this is the summary of what I
wrote since then. Also for me things became
worse. I feel more marginalized. For example,
even though I tried, none of these pieces was
published in Hebrew in Haaretz this year. I
feel that the coincidence of 9-11 is fatal for
our region’s prospective. I still want to
wish all of us a better New Year. We have to
continue and try to do our best, assuming that
at some point reason and emotional clarity
will come back to our region, to our planet…
In this mood, I will start with a poem.

The
Murder of Arafat
GUSH SHALOM - pob 3322, Tel-Aviv 61033 - http://www.gush-shalom.org/
PROTEST STARTED AGAINST ATTACK ON SARI
NUSSEIBEH, AND THE EAST JERUSALEM OFFICES OF
AL-QUDS UNIVERSITY
Several dozen Israeli peace activists,
hastily mobilized by Peace Now and
joined by members of Meretz and Gush Shalom,
gathered for a protest vigil outside the
offices of the Al-quds University in East
Jerusalem.
A few hours earlier, these offices were raided
by the Israeli police, which evicted all
university employees at gunpoint, and
proceeded to confiscate the university's
administrative records, which were placed in
some forty carton boxes and taken away, as
well as the university computers. Afterwards,
heavy steel shutters were installed, making
the entire three-storey building inaccesible.
The raid was authorized by a closure order
signed by Uzi Landau, Minister of Police.
Landau cited the fact that Sari Nusseibeh,
President of the Al-Quds University whose own
office was located in the invaded building, is
a member of the Palestinian Authority; this,
in the minister's view, made the entire
university into "an agency of the
Palestinian Authoity", and the
maintenance of such an "agency" in
annexed East Jerusalem was "in
contravention to the Israeli-Palestinian
Interim Agreement". (How would the
minister regard the presence of massive
Israeli forces, occupying and imposing curfew
over all the Palestinian cities which under
the same agreement should have been under
exclusive Palestinian control?). The
protesters outside the invaded building
carried signs reading "Landau - Minister
of State Terrorism". What
distinguishes this latest act of oppression
from earlier ones is the entire lack of even a
pretence at 'fighting terrorism'. The police
came to disrupt a recognized academic
institution, which had its beginnings in the
1950's, which carries out intensive teaching
and research and maintaints contacts with
numerous academic institutions throughout the
world as well ass in Israel - the only such
academic institution available to the
Palestinian population in East Jerusalem and
its suburbs. Also, the police raid targeted
one person in particular - Dr. Sari Nusseibeh,
the most outspoken of Palestinian moderates,
who a few weeks ago initiated a petition of
Palestinians condemning the suicide bombings.
The raid, in short, laid bare the true aims o
f the Sharon government:
not "reform" of the Palestinian
Authority but breaking down all Palestinian
leaders, moderate and extremist
indiscriminatingly; not "fighting against
terrorism", but destroying the
infrastructure of Palestinian civil society.
We ask you, this time, to write protests not
only to government representatives but
also to Israeli and international
unverstities, and encourage them to protest
this gross violation of academic freedom. You
can use the following text or make your own.
--------[sample text]-------------
I strongly protest the raid by the Israeli
police upon and closure of the offices of the
Al-Quds University in East Jerusalem. This is
a severe violation of academic freedom as well
as yet another provocative action, further
embittering the already tense relations
between Israelis and Palestinians. I
call upon academics worlwide, and upon Israeli
academics in particular, to make their protest
known.

Courage to Refuse - Combatant Letter 2002
We, reserve combat officers and soldiers of
the Israel Defense Forces, who were raised
upon the principles of Zionism, sacrifice and
giving to the people of Israel and to the
State of Israel, who have always served in the
front lines, and who were the first to carry
out any mission, light or heavy, in order to
protect the State of Israel and strengthen it.
• We, combat officers and soldiers who have
served the State of Israel for long weeks
every year, in spite of the dear cost to our
personal lives, have been on reserve duty all
over the Occupied Territories, and were issued
commands and directives that had nothing to do
with the security of our country, and that had
the sole purpose of perpetuating our control
over the Palestinian people. We, whose eyes
have seen the bloody toll this Occupation
exacts from both sides.
• We, who sensed how the commands issued to
us in the Territories, destroy all the values
we had absorbed while growing up in this
country.
• We, who understand now that the price of
Occupation is the loss of IDF’s human
character and the corruption of the entire
Israeli society.
• We, who know that the Territories are not
Israel, and that all settlements are bound to
be evacuated in the end.
• We hereby declare that we shall not
continue to fight this War of the Settlements.
• We shall not continue to fight beyond the
1967 borders in order to dominate, expel,
starve and humiliate an entire people.
• We hereby declare that we shall continue
serving in the Israel Defense Forces in any
mission that serves Israel’s defense.
• The missions of occupation and oppression
do not serve this purpose – and we shall
take no part in them.
