For a succinct summary of the state of play of Palestine/Israel, you cannot do better than refer to ICAHD’s November newsletter. Besides Jeff Halper’s update, it discusses the threat that the conflict is moving to normalization as the world moves on. It also offers a rundown on the Gaza Tribunal in Istanbul, and how a one ‘democratic’ state is the only way forward.
At the same time, Medical Aid for Palestinians reports that donations are dropping off in the mistaken belief that a ceasefire has ended the carnage. Daily killings are taking place, settlers continue their rampage in the West Bank, and it is reported that Israel has used cluster bombs in Lebanon. Meanwhile, supporters of Palestine Action are on hunger strike, and more protestors are being arrested, and the entire process is becoming hastier.
