On the morning of Thursday, 20th January, around three thousand Israeli colonists stormed farmlands owned by Palestinians.
Farmers owning the land from Ertas and Wadi Rahal marched up to the lands seized by colonists. Israeli soldiers protecting colonists fired tear gas and assaulted some of the protestors. Troops detained a teenager, Khalil Abu Sidah, but released him three hours later.
Villagers say that the colonists brought tents with them, indicating that they would try to set up a new 'settlement' outpost.
In related news on Thursday, a group of Israeli colonists planted trees on the site of the evacuated 'settlement' of Homesh in the northern West Bank. In 2005, Homesh was evacuated as part of Israel's 2005 so-called 'disengagement plan' from the northern West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Regardless of the caucus race in Israeli politics, as Ehud Barak deserts the so-called left, the Labor Party, for a new wildly mis-titled “democratic” zionist party, the zionist regime is being reshaped by a trickle-up effect, as the lowest in the chain take the lead. The government has certainly been active enough in ignoring the most basic precepts of humanity - and the UN’s demands - as it has so far demolished one village nine times, and continued building its colonies during the ‘freeze’. Add to this the Jews-only road being pushed through the ancient West Bank city of Hebron/al-Khalil. But this pace of change is not enough for the colonisers who are mostly imported from the USA and bring its gun-culture and pulp-fiction cowboys-and-indians ‘history’. Although the army has occasionally stepped in to interfere with the more aggressive activities of these immigrants, it generally backs them up against the indigenous Palestinians, or ‘sees no ships’. And the people at the forefront of the great putsch know that with the Jewish National Fund greening-over the rubble behind them and the politicians rewriting history in Unspeak, they have in reality a freedom which extends to anarchy without responsibility.
One of many world organisations which have sprung up in response to the creation of the zionist regime is the International Jewish Antizionist Network.
And they have a lot to say about the current state of the ‘green‘ ethnic cleansing of Palestine, at http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/385137/b1d8be961a/1473000383/8f68ab491d/

Israeli Banks Finance Newspaper calling for Genocide
Monday, 17 January 2011 15:28
Yossi Bartal for the Alternative Information Center (AIC)
Major Israeli banks, credit institutions, and communication companies are among the advertisers in an extreme right wing weekly magazine that called for building concentration camps.
An Israeli Jewish orthodox magazine "Ma'ayanei Hayeshua" (Fountains of Salvation) that is distributed freely in hundreds of synagogues all across the country has been the center of attention after calling in its editorial for the concentration of Arabs in extermination camps. In the article, published on 25 of December 2010, the editors attack rabbis who refused to support the call against renting apartments to Palestinians and accuse them of being too cowardly to follow the biblical commend of wiping out the people of Amalek ( who through the context of the article clearly means Palestinians). In the last segment of the editorial the editors wrote "It will be interesting to see whether they (the moderate Rabbis) leave the concentration of the Amalekites [Palestinians] in extermination camps to others, or whether they will declare that wiping out Amalek is no longer relevant".
This blunt call for a genocide against Palestinians is not new in publications of the Israeli extreme right, but this is the first time it appears in a “family” magazine with prominent advertisers. Among the companies advertising in the website of of Maayanei Hayeshua there are three major banks in Israel: Bank Hapo'alim, Bank Le'umi and Bank Discount, along with the Isracard Group that is working together with Visa, Europay and Mastercard. The national phone company, Bezeq, also advertises their international call service on the website. Even an academic institution, the Jerusalem College of Technology, published its advertisement inside the print version of the magazine.
