TODAY IN ACTION The "Freedom Riders"

Palestinian and international activists trying to get on the bus carrying Israeli settlers from the West Bank to Jerusalem

GEORGE MICHAEL
Jerusalem, November 15, 2011, Nena News - Rise of Israeli settlers on the bus, go to Jerusalem and to break the climate of segregation that is emerging ever more clearly in the occupied West Bank. At the risk of ending up in handcuffs for input "illegal", without Israeli permits in Jerusalem. It's called "Freedom Riders", takes place today and is the latest initiative of the Popular Resistance Committees employment. "We invite all to join the international committees Palestinians. It is an action that is inspired, the fight against racial segregation in the United States conducted when the bus in front of seats were reserved for whites, "says one of the promoters, Mazin Qumsiyeh, a professor at Bethlehem University. "We know the risk - adds Qumsiyeh - for a Palestinian with West Bank identity card, the penalty for illegal entry into Israel can get to seven years in prison."
For the promoters of "Freedom Riders" the Palestinian state would be even worse than that of African-Americans in the '60s. Then, they explain, people of color in the United States had to sit in the back of the bus while the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories are not even allowed to enter the bus. "Freedom Riders" also claims that an "apartheid" is carried forward through the "bypass road" connecting roads that break the continuity of Palestinian territory, particularly at the expense of workers and students forced to use secondary roads for moving . Not to mention the consequences for the economy of the West Bank. "The Palestinians are forbidden to cross the bypass road with their vehicles - has denounced the Israeli organization B'Tselem human rights -. But not only. Access is also restricted to roads that run close to the bypass. In this case, the Palestinians are forced to descend from their car, cross the road then a walk and look for alternative means of transportation on the other side. "
Meanwhile, is creating serious concern in the Israeli NGOs and associations that deal with civil rights and the protection of human rights, the decision taken by the Israeli Cabinet to obtain from Parliament a new law that limits to just 20 thousand shekels (4 thousand euros) contributions annual that these structures of civil society can receive from foreign lenders.

RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE NAME OF THE WAR TO IRAN

Rome, November 14, 2011, Nena News - Mount the pressure on Iran accused by Israel and the U.S. of wanting to give nuclear weapons. Britain is increasingly a new war in the Middle East, "not ruling out military intervention," said Foreign Minister William Hague, while the other European governments crumble in front of (apparently) opposed to military intervention. France also calls for the focus on new sanctions to force Iran to cooperate with the IAEA on its nuclear program. "We must be prepared to step up sanctions to prevent any intervention beyond repair," urged the partners, the French Minister Alain Juppe. An "alt" is explicit in the war from Russia, also opposed new sanctions: "The road is full of sanctions, has orchestrated a campaign against the Iranian nuclear program to feed the tension."
Barack Obama has sided with Israel - which in recent weeks has threatened an attack on Iran - and let people know that "no option is ruled out," but states that "diplomacy is the privileged way." Soon, however, the U.S. president could become an avid supporter of the war to earn his second term in the White House. There was an intensification bellicose rhetoric of the Republicans, especially the potential U.S. presidential candidates. "If re-elected Barack Obama, Iran has the bomb. If you elect me, but this does not happen, "he proclaimed last Saturday, the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and conservative, at the time considered the favorite among Republicans involved in primaries. "You need to run covert operations against Iran's nuclear program ... even against their scientists," he said of him Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and ally of Romney. "We should follow what Israel has done in Iraq and Syria (attacks on nuclear sites, real and alleged, ed), we must stop the Iranian nuclear program, before (Tehran) to conduct the first atomic explosion (experimental)," said For its part the former Republican Senator Rick Santorum.
And to be even more explicit Cain, Representative Michele Bachmann, Santorum and the presidential candidate Rick Perry, have also promised to lift the ban enacted by Obama after his election as President of the use of torture on suspected terrorists. "Were I the President autorizzarei been the method of" waterboarding "," Bachmann said. The "waterboarding" is a form of torture consisting immobilize an individual so that the feet are higher than the head, and pouring water on my face. It 'a kind of controlled drowning, as the water invades the respiratory tract, causing the gag reflex can be interrogated without the stop, or escape, and then feels that his death is imminent.
"I do not consider it a form of torture," he said with a confident tone Rick Perry. Nena News

This year marks the 50 anniversary of the Freedom Rides, which were an integral part of the American movement for civil rights. The activists have defied the laws of segregation, with non-violent action and traveled by bus throughout the South. The reaction that was caused helped the civil rights movement gains momentum and put the issue into the national spotlight. Fifty years later, the Palestinians faced the same prejudices are trying to do the same.
The Freedom Riders Palestinians strive to bring the daily violation of human rights that the Palestinians have to suffer at the hands of the Israeli occupation to the attention of the world. A statement from the campaign group says: "We launch this campaign in the belief that it will not get freedom, justice and self-determination, if not to charge the Israeli occupation, economically and politically, for its daily violations of our rights and dignity. "
The Freedom Riders boarded the bus to Jerusalem with about forty other passengers made ​​up of international journalists and activists sitting side by side with Jewish settlers. The bus was stopped near the Israeli settlement Kochav Yakov, and was boarded by Israeli border police. With thousands of people watching proceedings streamed live around the world, the Freedom Riders were asked to get off the bus, when they refused, police used force to drag them away.
Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, one of the Freedom Riders, spoke to IMEMC over the phone, providing updates on the situation. He said that the Israeli border police were surrounding the bus and claiming they were under arrest, because they tried to "enter Jerusalem illegally."
While treatment of the activists was not nearly as brutal as those dished out to their counterparts for civil rights in America, their efforts will resonate around the world today. As events were unfolding, the tweets of support came pouring in from all angles, but it is too early to say what the impact will be complete.
One of the most memorable moments of the day was when Huwaida Arraf, a young Palestinian-American civil rights lawyer, was forcibly removed by Israeli border police. While she was dragged off moving proclaimed "My name is Huwaida Aarraf, I am a Knight of freedom, and I just want to go to Jerusalem. "
