Israel killed 15 Palestinians, arrested 1213 others since July


Ahrar Center for Prisoners and Human Rights revealed that Israel has killed 15 Palestinians and arrested 1,213 others since last July.

In a report covering Israeli violations in the West Bank, Occupied Jerusalem and Gaza Strip during the third quarter of 2015, the center listed the names of 15 Palestinian martyrs, most remarkable, the Dawabsheh family who were burned by fanatic settlers in Duma town near Nablus. 

The report stated that 512 of the arrested are from Occupied Jerusalem, 176 from al-Khalil, 155 from Ramallah and al-Bireh, 112 from Nablus, 64 from Jenin, 20 from Tulkarem, 9 from Qalqilya, 8 from Jericho, 3 from Safit and 3 from Tubas.  

The human rights report documented 102 cases of arrest among minors mostly from Occupied Jerusalem and al-Khalil. 60 Palestinians from Gaza Strip were held captive including 8 fishermen who were arrested while fishing in Gaza sea. 

Israeli forces rounded up 103 Palestinians from the blockaded Gaza Strip for attempting to cross the security fence into 1948 Occupied Palestine, the report pointed out. 


Four children shot by Israeli gunfire in September


The Global Movement for the Defense of Children reported that four Palestinian children were shot by Israeli gunfire during September in the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.

The Movement branch in Palestine said, in a press statement on Tuesday, the children were shot by Israeli rubber bullets in the upper parts of their bodies. This has brought the number of Palestinian minors who were shot by rubber bullets since June, 2014 to nine, it pointed out. 

Three of the nine minors suffer permanent disabilities, while one of them died later on of sustained wounds. 

Ayed Qteish, the manager of the accountability program at the global organization, said that targeting the upper parts of the body with this kind of bullets indicates that Israel has a systematic policy to deliberately hurt Palestinians including children.


DCIP: Over 1,996 Palestinian Children Killed Since Outbreak of Second Intifada


Children represent 46.2 percent of the 4.68 million Palestinians living in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Instability and violence has defined much of their lives since September 2000 when the second intifada, or uprising, broke out against Israeli military occupation of Palestinian territory.

The five-year period of conflict erupted after Ariel Sharon, then opposition leader of the Likud party, visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third holiest site, in Jerusalem’s Old City accompanied by 1,000 Israeli police officers on September 28, 2000. More than 700 Palestinian children died at the hands of Israeli forces and settlers between September 2000 and February 2005, according to Defense for Children International - Palestine research. Since then, at least 1,296 Palestinian children have been killed, including 551 in 2014 alone, the majority during Israeli military offensives on the Gaza Strip.

The deadliest Israeli military offensive, Operation Protective Edge, lasted 50 days between July 8 and August 26, 2014, and claimed the lives of at least 2,220 Palestinians. DCIP independently verified the deaths of 547 Palestinian children among the killed in Gaza, 535 of them as a direct result of Israeli attacks. Nearly 68 percent of the children killed by Israeli forces were 12 years old or younger. The second deadliest Israeli military offensive, Operation Cast Lead, launched on December 27, 2008, lasted 22 days, and claimed the lives of at least 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 350 Palestinian children.

Displacement, access to education and health care, and psychological trauma remain significant areas of concern for children in Gaza, particularly in the wake of Israel’s 2014 assault and eight-year blockade on Gaza.

In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Palestinian children have endured heightened levels of violence in recent years, as Israeli soldiers and police use excessive force to quash protests. Since 2014, 15 Palestinian children have died at the hands of Israeli forces, all except one with live ammunition, according to DCIP documentation. DCIP found no evidence that any of those children posed a direct threat to Israeli troops or settlers. OCHA estimated a further 1,477 children were injured in the West Bank from Israeli live fire and crowd control weapons, including rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas canisters, water cannons, and sound grenades, during the past 21 months.

Earlier this month, Israeli authorities amended open-fire rules to allow Israeli forces to fire live ammunition during protests in Jerusalem when there is a “threat to life.” Previously, the regulations permitted live ammunition only when there is a direct, mortal threat to the life of a police officer or soldier. The move comes as Israeli officials also push forward stricter sentencing guidelines and fines for stone-throwers.

Palestinian children in the West Bank, like adults, also face arrest, prosecution, and detention under an Israeli military court system that denies them basic rights. Since 1967, Israel has operated two separate legal systems in the same territory: Israeli settlers live under civilian law whereas Palestinians are subject to martial law. Israel applies civilian law to Palestinian children in East Jerusalem. Israel is the only country in the world that prosecutes between 500 and 700 children in military courts each year. No Israeli child comes into contact with the military court system.

Since 2000, DCIP estimates that at least 8,500 Palestinian children wound up arrested by Israeli forces and prosecuted in the Israeli military detention system. Between 2012 and 2014, Israel held an average of 198 Palestinian children in custody each month, according to data provided by the Israel Prison Service. The majority of them faced charges of throwing stones.

DCIP received affidavits from 107 West Bank children detained during 2014 that showed three-quarters of them endured some form of physical violence following arrest. Israeli interrogators also used position abuse, threats, and solitary confinement to coerce confessions from some children. In 93 percent of these cases, Israeli authorities deprived children of legal counsel and failed to inform them properly of their rights. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz obtained a military court report in 2011 that showed a 99.7 percent conviction rate for Palestinian defendants.

In 1991, Israel ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). During its initial review in 2002, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the UN body that monitors implementation of the CRC, expressed serious concern regarding “allegations and complaints of inhuman or degrading practices and of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children” during arrest, interrogation and detention.

More than a decade later, the only change is that ill-treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention has become widespread and systematic. In June 2013, the Committee declared that Palestinian children arrested by Israeli forces continue to be “systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture” and that Israel had “fully disregarded” previous recommendations to comply with international law.

The past 15 years have also seen a growing number of Palestinian children and their families live in villages and towns hemmed in by expanding and often violent Israeli settler communities. Since Israel occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967, it has established some 125 Jewish-only settlements that house 515,000 Israelis. The international community considers them illegal. Israel, however, claims religious and historical rights to the territory.

Stationed throughout the West Bank, Israeli soldiers, police, and private security firms protect settler populations at the expense of Palestinian civilians. In this hyper-militarized environment, Palestinian children have faced disproportionate physical violence, restricted access to education, and psychological trauma.

World Bank: Palestinians are getting poorer


A UN report issued by the World Bank revealed on Tuesday that Palestinians have been getting poorer over the past three years. 

The report stated that the decline in aid from donor countries, last year’s war in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli freeze of tax revenues due to the Palestinian Authority during the first trimester of this year have caused severe damage to the Palestinian economy. 

According to the report, the Palestinians have been getting poorer over the past three years as a result of the political, security, economic and social conditions imposed on them.

The World Bank report will be presented this week to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC). It recommends reforms to the current general economic trends to halt further deterioration in the economy. 

The report pointed out that a quarter of the Palestinians are living under poverty conditions while the unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip exceeded the barrier of 60 per cent. Real GDP per capita has been shrinking since 2013 due to the weak economy in the Palestinian territories, the report added.

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said that the unemployment rate in the Palestinian territories as a whole is nearly 25 per cent. The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report, meanwhile, revealed that 72 per cent of Gaza's population suffers from food insecurity. 

The report also recommends the Palestinian Authority to make further efforts to improve tax collection and continue to push towards reforms in the health and electricity sectors.


Report: Harrowing conditions of Palestinian families’ at Syria-Turkey borders

Along with thousands of Syrian refugees in “Derek” Turkish Camp on the Syrian-Turkish borders, 22 Palestinian families are facing harsh conditions.The prison-like camp is surrounded with barbed wires. Getting out of it requires a security approval, or what Palestinian refugees now call 'a permit'.

Harsh conditions

Palestinian refugees explained the hard conditions they are facing, especially getting food whose costs are high compared to the prices outside the camp.

Sa'ad, a Palestinian refugee in the camp, said that the Kurdish camp management provides a monthly payment of 80 Turkish Liras per person, around 3 Liras a day. This, as he explained, can hardly meet the daily basic necessities.

According to Sa'ad, the contaminated water well has caused inflammatory bowel to many refugees, as this water is used for both drinking and washing. The camp management, however, does not provide the camp with drinking water, even though it has drinking water reservoirs.

The camp tents are hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Furthermore, poor hygiene has caused the spread of infectious skin diseases, especially because of the camp's toilets that are unfit for human use.

Movement restrictions

The refugees' bad living conditions include the restriction imposed on their movement in and out. The camp management gives them short permits –hours or a day– to leave the camp, and if a refugee is late, they will have to spend the night in the open air.

There are 104 Palestinian refugees, 10 of whom are women without a breadwinner, 15 families with five or less members, 7 families with six or more members, and 5 families without any means of communication.

Medical negligence

There is no appropriate medical care for the refugees. A number of refugees need medicine, including a little boy who needs a surgery in the head and a woman with Thalassemia who hasn't got blood transfusion for seven months.

The camp's 60 children are the most affected. A child died due to severe fever. Dozens of children have been psychologically affected.

Educationally speaking, the refugees confirmed there are no schools in the camp. They expressed concern about their children's future if they remain in the prison-like Derek camp.

A journey of suffering

Before moving to "Derek" camp in March, the Palestinian families used to live in an accommodation center in Kilis. Al-Wafaa Campaign provided the center with humanitarian aid and pledged to manage the camp and pay the rent for the land on which the center was established.

Nonetheless, the center was soon closed due to the lack of financial support, a pretext denied by the al-Wafaa Campaign. Consequently, some refugees rented houses in Kilis, and the rest were moved to "Derek" camp.

Failure of the PA embassy

The refugees criticized the Palestinian embassy for standing idly by, especially not issuing them passports. It is quite hard for the refugees to get passports as it requires a seven-hour travel to Ankara, in addition to €50.

Refugees also blamed the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, for "turning a deaf ear to the refugees' suffering in the camp."

Demands

The refugees demand the Palestinian officials in Turkey, represented by the Palestinian Embassy and GAPAR, to ensure them a dignified life with better living, medical, and educational conditions in accommodation centers in Turkey.

They also confirmed the need for free-of-charge passports from the Palestinian Embassy for all the refugees.

Furthermore, they asked the Palestinian committees and associations in Turkey to visit the camp to have a closer look at the conditions there and to provide humanitarian and psychological help.

90,000 Palestinians arrested by Israel since 2000

The Israeli occupation forces arrested over 90,000 Palestinians since the start of Al-Aqsa Intifada on September 28th, 2000, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said on Sunday.

Such arrests targeted all categories of the Palestinian society, including injured civilians, sick persons, girls, children, MPs, lawmakers, and the elderly, the documentation department at the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported.

The Palestinian arrestees included 12,000 children below the age of 18 and 1,200 women, four among whom gave birth to their newborns in Israeli lock-ups.

The commission added that there are 200 children and 25 women still behind Israeli bars.

According to the report, the Israeli occupation arrested more than 65 lawmakers and ministers over the same period.

The Israeli occupation authorities issued 25,000 new or renewed administrative sentences against the Palestinian detainees. 480 inmates are still held administratively in Israeli jails.

At least 83 Palestinian detainees died of harsh torture and preplanned medical neglect in Israeli jails since 2000. Dozens of others died shortly after they were released as they succumbed to diseases they caught while jailed.

The Palestinian detainees suffered all kinds of torture and maltreatment during their arrest period, the group further documented.

Euro-Med: Israel must cease terrorism against Muslims at al-Aqsa
Picture
Israeli incitement and violations against Muslims in Occupied Jerusalem and the holy al-Aqsa Mosque have dramatically increased in 2015, concludes a new Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor report. 

The report, titled “Fire under the Ashes: Provoking Muslims in Jerusalem,” warns that Israeli incitement against Muslims could trigger a conflict that would likely result in disastrous consequences.

According to the report, the Israeli occupation authorities deported 227 Palestinians and detained 225 others during January-August. In addition, 7,200 settlers accompanied by the Israeli occupation soldiers stormed the Al-Aqsa compound during the same period.

“It is clear that the number of deportations increases shortly before Jewish holidays,” says Ihsan Adel, Euro-Med Monitor legal adviser. “For example, Israeli police issued 15 deportation orders on a single night a few days before the Jewish holiday of Passover and on the eve of the ‘Destruction of the Temple’ in July.”

Of the 227 deportation orders issued since the beginning of 2015, 119 (52.6 percent) involved men, 83 (36.4 percent) were against women and 25 (11 percent) targeted children under the age of 18, the report found out.

In addition, Euro-Med documented the detention of 225 Palestinians from the Al-Aqsa Mosque, including 118 men, 95 women, and 44 children.

The Euro-Med field team in Occupied Jerusalem found that the occupation soldiers often use violence while detaining Palestinians. For example, on May 31, police severely beat an elderly man carrying an Israeli identity card. In 2014, nearly 11,000 Jews stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the year (a number that is 28 percent higher than during 2013, and almost double that of 2012).

This year, April witnessed the highest percentage of violations; 1,412 settlers accompanied by 93 occupation officers and soldiers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Among the provocative acts documented by Euro-Med researchers against Palestinians in Occupied Jerusalem were performances of Talmudic prayers near Muslim worshippers, beating, throwing rubbish, cursing, death threats and preventing worshippers from reaching the mosque.

The Euro-Med Monitor called on the Israeli occupation authorities to cease such provocative practices and to take the steps necessary to put an end to human rights violations against Arabs and Muslims in Occupied Jerusalem. 

The group further pushed the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) and the international community to pressure Israel to adhere to international law, including the Geneva Conventions. 

The organization also called on the UN Security Council to use all means possible to end the Israeli illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories.

150 Jerusalemites detained over 10 days
Picture
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) rounded up 150 Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem over the past ten days, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society  (PPS)said.

150 detainees were rounded up in the period Sept. 13-22 during violent clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, the report said.

The report affirmed that most of the detainees were minors.

On the other hand, IOF arrested four Palestinians including a woman and an elderly at dawn Tuesday after breaking into their homes in Izayzia town, east of occupied Jerusalem.

In another context, four Jerusalemite prisoners were released from Israeli jails after spending their sentences.

10,000 Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa during 2015
Picture
Nearly 10,000 Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of the year, while large numbers of Israeli soldiers broke into the holy shrine on four occasions during the Jewish holidays, QPress said.

The report documented that 9,954 Israeli settlers and soldiers broke into the courtyards of the Mosque since the beginning of 2012 and carried out provocative tours.

Nearly 20 Israeli settlers with their military uniforms stormed the holy shrine on daily basis.

On the other hand, the report affirmed that 277 Palestinian worshipers were arrested in al-Aqsa Mosque. Most of the detainees were shortly released and banned access into the Mosque.

During the Jewish holidays, four massive military break-ins were carried out in total provocation to Muslims who protested against the Israeli escalation. 

During one of those the break-ins, the soldiers smashed the entrance gates of the Qibli Mosque before they aggressively assaulted the peaceful Muslim sit-inners and worshipers.

Poll: Two-thirds of Palestinians want Abbas to step down
Picture
A public opinion poll published on Monday showed that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas’s popularity has declined in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

In contrast to Abbas’s drop in the poll, the popularity of Hamas leader Ismail Haneyya has increased significantly in the West Bank.

The poll, which was conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, also showed that the popularity of Hamas improved in the West Bank.

Fatah’s popularity has declined in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the poll found.

The poll conducted in the West Bank and Gaza Strip between September 17 and 19, covered 1,270 adults and has a three percent margin of error.

According to the results, 65% of respondents want Abbas to resign, while 31% want him to remain in office. Two-thirds believe Abbas’s recent resignation from the PLO Executive Committee is not real.

If Abbas does not run in a new election, 32% of respondents prefer to see jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti replace him, the results showed. 

A majority of 66% of respondents rejects a return to unconditional negotiations with Israel if that means no cessation of illegal settlement construction.

An overwhelming majority of 88% wants the PA to take the Israeli occupation to the International Criminal Court for building illegal settlements.

Two thirds of the public support Hamas-Israel indirect negotiations over a long term truce, in return for ending the siege over the Gaza Strip. But a majority believes that these negotiations will not succeed. 

Findings show that two thirds of the public believe that protection of Palestinians against settlers' terrorism is the responsibility of the PA, not the Israeli army. But two thirds believe that the PA is not doing enough to protect the Palestinian citizens. 

To protect Palestinian towns and villages targeted by settlers, the largest percentage has selected, from among several options, the deployment of the Palestinian security forces in those areas.

Several factors might explain the drop in the popularity of Abbas and Fatah, including current tensions and confrontations in al-Aqsa Mosque, the belief that the PA prevents demonstrations against the Israeli occupation, and the PA’s failure to protect Palestinians against settlers’ terrorism in the occupied Palestinian territories.
