Algiers Declaration: XXIII anniversary of the Palestinian State
Occupied Palestine - InfoPal. Today is the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence XXIII of the Palestinian state, also known as the Algiers Declaration called for here is the nineteenth session of the Palestinian National Council (PNC).
It was during the First Intifada in full and that was an extraordinary session, remembered as the "Intifada and Independence."
Written
by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, the statement was intended as a
formal commitment of the Palestinian resistance and to abstain from
violence, for the first time, implicitly posed the basis for a
recognition of the State of Israel.
"Renounce
violence does not negate our support for the right of peoples to fight
foreign occupation", pointed out the leader Yasir 'Arafat, determined
not to delegitimize the popular Intifada.
During that meeting, November 15, 1988, we welcomed all the UN resolutions in which to recognize
the national rights of Palestinians, first 242/67 on the Israeli
withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967 against the recognition,
and peace, and 338/73 on the cease-fire and negotiations.
In
Palestinian history, the Declaration of Algiers remains among the most
relevant documents, because they contributed to the internationalization
of the national cause of liberation and independence, allowed him to
start diplomatic relations, though still only with Europe, and why it
was accepted to start of a peace conference under the umbrella of the UN
Security Council.
Despite
the immense production of conferences, negotiations and agreements, it
followed only worsened the plight of the Palestinians, folded from a
state of employment and a stifling. Referring to those commitments on time, up to date confirms this.

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

identity card, the penalty for illegal entry into Israel can get to

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. "

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.

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.

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
Freedom Riders Challenge Segregration on the bus route of the Israeli settlers
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 19:42 by Adam Kerry and William Gibson - IMEMC & Agencies
As
people around Palestine celebrate their independence, six Palestinian
activists trying to make the trip to Jerusalem on a bus of settlers
only, highlighting segregation prevalent in Israeli society.
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. "
