http://flotilla.hyves.nl/ 23 mrt 2012 This is footage of Israeli soldiers raiding a home in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh on the night of March 20th, 2012. This video captures a raid on the home of imprisoned Palestinian nonviolent leader Bassem Tamimi. His wife, children, and likely his mother, can be seen in the video reacting in horror to the ransacking of their home, albeit it rather common across the West Bank and in Nabi Saleh itself. This is an abridged version of the original. The video was originally posted by Bilal

http://flotilla.hyves.nl/ 18 mrt 2012 In this edition of the show we will look at the hunger strike by Palestinian female Hana Shalabi; what led to it and the events that have unfolded since? Her case is unusual because there are fewer female hunger strikers than men and her own parents, in their 60s, have joined her to show solidarity. We discuss this and the "oppressive" policy of administrative detention that she is held under. We also look at the solidarity it has sparked amongst other Palestinian women. This jailing without

http://flotilla.hyves.nl/ 10 mrt 2012 Rabbi Yisrael Dovid Weiss explains why he believes that Israel as a state is not legitimate. When Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, visited Washington last week on the eve of the Purim holiday, he gave Barack Obama, the US president, what he considered a symbolic gift - a copy of the old testament book of Esther. Netanyahu called it "background reading on Iran", since its story concerns relations with Jews in the Persian empire some 2,500 years ago. It is considered by scholars to b

I have met countless Palestinian prisoners while in the West Bank and Gaza, each and every one of them was tortured by the Israelis. America is no better, with Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu G
