Konkursowo

Last time I spend quite busy, so we do not throw:) But! in the end I managed to do a good photo of the picture who went to the contest, I wrote about it quite a long time already. For the finale was not successful could ever make, but taking into account the quality of the photos that I sent .. not surprised - I think that this would be easier: P




Oil canvas 90x90 cm




Recently quite a lot of suffering - and the last, unfortunately, I mean unless the entire year, which unfortunately does not work as much as I would like to work, but what I am doing not to fall out of the mold:)

We participated in the uproariously digartach promoted on training etc "Artbuzz", which took place in the center of teaching AGH in Kraków (was really a lot of people) - are generally targeted training rather to a wider audience, so Older veterans may possibly come for refreshments, but generally I think that everyone would find something for everyone:)


turned out that the contest is organized speedpaintingu - one of the sponsors was Wacom who stretched out her great stand next to the entrance. Each of those stations was equipped with another tablet, so everybody could choose according to your preferences.
theme of "movement", the time of 666 seconds:)
found that at such time as an attempt to create something that will dazzle your sleeping form on the pan, so you must move the head (which hurt, because, unfortunately, as it happens .. I was recently ill) The first idea - a permanent kiosk point, the foundation around which appear more and more new figures - people come and go. Praised the idea (perhaps a little too loud) and I thought: ok, even toilet and go.
come back with toilet - look at the monitors, and there's what? Is drawn already two (TWO! And that the positions next to each other) beautiful kiosks traffic;) Ok ok, I'm not saying that it was a great original idea, for who I could fall into just me - I simply do not believe that such overlapping circumstances and I put that, although one of them benefited from the "circle of rescue", no .. but surely also the execution counts;)
Ok, so I resigned, I said that I'm passing.
After 20 minutes, and 40 "No. Take part" "Well, make something up," "Take part" "Draw something" "Think", etc. Madzi, I found that even a moment idea.
finally fell on the "Movement" as a chess move and voltage, which is accompanied by - two horses, white and black, in front of himself, against the background of the board - an hour later, I almost missed the announcement of the results, enter the rooms and the large outdoor screen at? Of course kiosk .. and congrats:)
Surprise, because moments later, my work shows up and hear "a place - Bartosz Kapron - tadaa:)
workshops were generally from the computer graphics, it was a lot of people, which employs a pen tablet and much better than me , because in the end to the present day rather deals with the traditional arts - so that pleased me more that the triumph of a strong concept:)


Award - Wacom Bamboo A5, which will certainly be useful in August:) We

that ends larger picture 140x140 - who paints a de facto on canvas, on which a picture already painted over .. theoretically, a lot of work for nothing, but the hand and eye, however, gain experience, and nature as they say nothing is lost.

By refusing to purchase Israeli products consumers can express their opposition to the Occupation of Palestine. Gaza: Stay Human is a searing first-hand account of life for people under siege and fire in the open air prison called Gaza. It conveys the danger, raw emotions, and gore that Palestinians face. Arrigoni urges people to stay human; But when Israelis disrespect Palestinian life, they strike at themselves and their own humanity. When people in the international community stand by, it renders many of us with the culpable and less human.

Some questions about the murder of Vittorio Arrigonija (19 April 2011th)
Sources at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedly said that Vittorio Arrigoni is not a random victim of kidnapping, but that the hijackers intentionally targeted just him personally.

to give love, to give empathy
It is this that will change the world

Staying human: A heroic legacy - Ramzy Baroud
Vittorio Arrigoni, or Vik, was reportedly murdered by a fundamentalist group in Gaza, a few hours after he was kidnapped on April 14. The killing was supposedly in retaliation for Hamas' crackdown on this group's members. All who knew Vik will attest to the fact that he was an extraordinary person, a model of compassion, solidarity and humanity. Arrigoni's body was discovered in an abandoned house hours after he was kidnapped. His murderers didn't honor their own deadline of 30 hours. The group, known as the Tawhid and Jihad, is one of the fringe groups known in Gaza as the Salafis. They resurface under different names and manifestations, for specific -- and often bloody -- purposes. ... The group that murdered Arrigoni, like others of its kind, existed for one specific, violent episode before disappearing altogether. The mission in this case was to kill an International Solidarity Movement activist who dedicated years of his life to Palestine.

It Juliano and Vittorio with love
He initially seemed detached from his Palestinian roots but, under the influence of his Jewish mother who spent much of her later years working with Palestinian children, he was transformed. Arna Mer-Khamis, Juliano's mother, became involved with Palestinians during the first intifada. She came to understand how deeply traumatised Palestinian children were by the occupation and started programmes that aimed to heal them through art and, in particular, acting. She established a theatre in the Jenin refugee camp, where her bonds with many of the local children were such that they became known as 'Arna's children'.

Palestinian Christians to Easter or can not visit the holy sites in Jerusalem


information from Article WEST BANK: Palestinian Christians denied access to holy places in Jerusalem during Easter journalist Maher Abukhatera that entirely in English can be read on the link .

16th travanj 2011th
Unlike Christians the rest of the world, the Palestinian Christians living in the West Bank and Gaza can not visit Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

Since Israel East Jerusalem in the early 1990s cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories, Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip by the Israeli army must get permission to not go to Jerusalem.

The situation further deteriorated after 2000. , and restrictions are tightened after about East Jeruazelma built 6 feet tall concrete wall that Palestinian Muslims and Christians prevents access to holy sites and the old town of Jerusalem.

"For Christians, Holy Week in Jerusalem has a special spiritual significance," the statement said Christian communities in the West Bank. "The old city, its gates and roads, mountains Olives, Via Dolorosa and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is visited by pilgrims from around the world are equally important and Palestinian Christians from Gaza and the West Bank, who want to Jerusalem together with his brothers to participate in the liturgical ceremonies that precede the resurrection, the holy Christian feast. "

Access Jerusalem for Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip instead of the religious right, has become a privilege. To come in Jerusalem every Palestinian from the West Bank or Gaza must first obtain a permit Israeli military authorities.

These permits are not obtained easily. It is usually issued by sick people for medical treatment in Jerusalem or Israeli hospitals or businesses. Often they get the workers because Israel exploited cheap Palestinian labor. But for people who wish to visit their family members who live in East Jerusalem, or explore the old town, or pray at the holy places, and permits are rarely issued.

"In every country that respects freedom of religion, believers of different religions live in harmony with their faith and can not pray without being authorities that hamper, "the statement said Christians. "In Jerusalem, for several decades, we have this situation. Occupying forces Christians and Muslims prevents free access to holy sites in several important opportunities, "said the statement.

"Restrictions imposed by the local believers are violations of their fundamental human rights, religious freedom and ancient religious traditions of indigenous Christian population of this country," it said in a statement.

Israel has recently begun to issue between 2000 and 3000 licenses for Christians during Christmas and Easter wish to visit holy places in Jerusalem, but these numbers are still relatively small compared to the number of Palestinian Christians. In addition, permits are issued only for older people in a marriage, a young and single people do not. Christians must also seek permission through their churches.

"licensing system imposed by Israel is clearly a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international agreements and charters that Israel has signed," said the Christian community. "Regardless of the number of people from local congregations who are allowed to participate in the celebrations, we reject the imposition of licensing and quota so we can come to our church."

Unfortunately, Palestinian Christians, Easter coincides with the Jewish Passover. Israel usually closes the occupied Palestinian areas during Jewish holidays, which means that the license does not automatically apply to even those who received the permit will not be able to cross the checkpoint at the entrance to East Jerusalem.

main organizer of the action called "Freedom Flotilla Two" is a European campaign to blockade of Gaza (ECESG), among the 1,000 organizations that participate in the action of the Association of Solidarity from Bihac. Last year, we have already collected about 25,000 KM and we paid them on account ECESG's, and those who want to help more payments to or directly on the bank account ECESG's - said the president of the Association of Solidarity Zemira Gorinjac, explaining that More detailed information available on their web page www.solidarnost-bosnia.com Gorinjac added that, at the initiative "Solidarity", one of 15 ships are sailed to the Gaza Strip should be called "Srebrenica". For now it is certain that with 1,000 activists from various parts of the convoy to travel the world and four citizens of BiH. Another four of them, among which are the demobilized soldiers of the Army of BiH, it is also willing to go to Gaza, but has not yet secured the money.

Another country
A Palestinian who is summoned to the court cannot arrive by traveling on the main road, Highway 443, the route you followed just an hour ago. That road is limited to ordinary travelers, like yourself. The High Court actually ruled that Palestinians can travel on it, but they can only travel on its less useful stretches. In order to reach the court, Palestinians must travel on a different, longer road, which features two checkpoints (Bitunia and Qalandiyah ). A Palestinian reaches the court and is placed on the left side of the fence. An Israeli who travels to the court on the fast highway, positions himself on the right side. Right now, the Palestinian and the Israeli stand relatively close to one another; neither looks the other in the eye; each tries to stay in his own world. ... A 19-year-old woman is standing in the hall, declaring "I am sorry, your honor, I've learned my lesson. I won't do it again." I look at her; she has put on a lot of makeup and is holding a handbag. She looks like an Israeli teenager a few months before her army service. I wonder, what is she sorry about? What lesson has she learned? The judge says: "I accept the plea bargain. I believe that S. has decided to rehabilitate herself and go on with her life. She expresses regret about what she did, and claims that she has learned her lesson. For this reason, I sentence her to a month's suspended sentence, and an NIS 800 fine." Here's the story: It turns out that S. has a Palestinian father and an Israeli mother. One day, loneliness overcame her, and she decided to visit her mother in Jerusalem. She traveled there and was apprehended by security forces. She was put on trial for this offense. The judge now trusts that she will rehabilitate herself, that she will change her ways. If not, next time she will spend a month in prison. ... In most cases, the discrimination precedes the stage in which the detainee is brought to court. For example, when Abdallah Abu Rahmah was arrested several years ago, during a demonstration in Bil'in, six persons were detained - Abdallah Abu Rahmah, Ratab Abu Rahmah, and four Israeli Jews. All were charged with disturbing public order. The two Palestinians were interrogated, issued denials, and were imprisoned. Ratab was held in custody for two weeks. An indictment was issued against him, along with a request that he be held in remand until proceedings in his case were completed. Abdallah was held for a similar period, and an indictment was filed against him. In contrast, the four Israeli detainees did not cooperate with investigators. In the police station, investigators offered to release three, with restrictive conditions. One agreed; two refused the offer, as an act of solidarity with their Palestinian comrades. The three Israelis who were held in custody were released by the courts after spending one night in jail. Files on all four were closed.

ISM GAZA: We Will Not Go Away from Gaza
As we had done when Vittorio was with us, we will continue to stand alongside the Palestinian people, we will continue to struggle against the occupation, we will continue to accompany farmers to their lands along the border, we will continue to participate in demonstrations, and we will continue to tell the world what happens here in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. We think that Victor would agree with Che Guevara when he said, “Don’t cry for me if I die, do what I was doing and I will live on in you.” The best way to honor Vik is to continue the work that he was doing. In particular we will soon begin crewing a boat whose mission is to monitor the violation of human rights in Palestinian waters. This boat will have its maiden voyage on April 20: Vik had strongly backed this project and he had enthusiastically participated in its realization. Vik has been an inspiration to all of us, we all hope to live up to his example. In a documentary about him, Vik said he would have liked to be remembered by Nelson Mandela's quote; “A victor is merely a dreamer who never stops dreaming.” Your dreams are our dreams; we will never forget you, Vik.

Itamar Killers Found?
According to Haaretz, the teens decided on a whim to go to Itamar armed with nothing but wire cutters and a prayer. They walked across the buffer zone without being noticed by the cameras, security guards, soldiers or residents of the colony. They reached the electrified fence, where they spent ten minutes cutting the wire. The automatic cameras and sensors seemed, by a stroke of anti-semitic fortune, to be asleep that day. Once they’d cut the fence, the two teenagers walked into the colony, where again nobody noticed them. They found a house which by sheer luck was 1) unlocked, 2) empty and 3) had an M16 rifle and ammunition lying about. Amjad and Hakim picked up the gun and the bullets, and stepped out of the empty house. There, they moved to the Fogels’ residence. They walked in, and killed four family members-one with the gun, the others with a knife. Having defied all odds, the teenagers now left the house and went back outside. They still hadn’t been noticed. Neither the gun shot nor the screams had been heard (the security services here explain that the weather wasn't conducive to carrying sound waves that evening). While realizing they STILL hadn't been noticed by any of the residents, soldiers, security guards or cameras, Amjad and Hakim spotted the Fogels' 3 month old baby through the window. So they decided to go back inside and kill the baby. Insatiable Arab thirst for blood and all that. Now the teens, armed with a big stolen M16 rifle, ammunition, and a knife simply walked back out of the colony, again unnoticed by the cameras, soldiers, guards, colonists, sensors and maybe even God himself. They walked across the buffer zone, back to their village, and thought they had gotten away with their dastardly crime. ... And before the seething masses of indignant Zionists could finish wringing their hands, out comes the family of Hakim Awad with the inconvenient revelation that their son had recently undergone testicular surgery that made it impossible for him to walk long distances and needing the toilet every hour, and was at home recovering the night the Fogels were killed. Oops. Zionism really is losing its lustre: They decided to frame a guy who can barely walk for trekking across a buffer zone, through an electrified fence, breaking into two houses, killing an entire family then jogging merrily home.

Vittorio, never more alive than now
This lost child of mine is more alive than ever before, like the grain that has fallen to the ground and died to bring forth a plentiful harvest. I see it and hear it already in the words of his friends, above all the younger among them, some closer, some from afar. Through Vittorio, they have known and understood, and now even more, how one can give 'Utopia' a meaning, like the thirst for justice and peace, how fraternity and solidarity still stand and how, as Vittorio used to say, 'Palestine can also be found at your doorsteps'. We were a long way from Vittorio, but now we are closer than ever, with his living presence magnified at every passing hour, like a wind from Gaza, from his beloved Mediterranean, blowing fierily to deliver the message of his hope and of his love for those without a voice, for the weak and the oppressed, passing the baton. Stay human.

To those who Juliano & Vittorio murdered in cold blood
To the Palestinian People, We need to protect every soul who is in solidarity with us and therefore I call on Palestinians to make April "International Activist Month '. Hold events in mosques, churches, schools, community centers and Workplaces to highlight what international activists are doing and the important role those people have in defending the human rights and cultural rights of Palestinians. Talk about the high price that many have paid to defend our schools, our hospitals, our olive trees, our homes, our land, our families, our rights and our lives. Some paid the price twice, within their own communities and tragically within our community. It is our community’s responsibility to protect them, as they have come to join our struggle for freedom. Many of us did not get a chance to tell Vittorio and Juliano how much we love them. Take a minute today to tell any international activists you know that you love them. To all the international Palestine activists, I love you all.

Reflections on the death of Vittorio Arrigoni - Eva Bartlett
Vik, ever determined to witness Gaza, returned on Free Gazas 5th successful mission, arriving just weeks before Israel began the 23-day assault on the entire Gaza Strip. During the war, ISM and Free Gaza rode with ambulances, documenting Israel's war crimes and crimes against civilians. Vik managed to both accompany ambulances and race back along darkened, drone and F-16 targeted roads, to Gaza Citys Ramattan News Agency -the only place we were able to report from-to give non-stop phone interviews and write for his blog, Guerilla Radio as well as Italian and international media, including IL Manifesto and Peacereporter. In those horrifying 23 days, Vik's humor and compassion matched that of our Palestinian medical colleagues, with whom we rode. Vik was a counselor to many of us, with an empathetic ear, wise words, and always a "yalla" (lets go) to get things going. His lack of mastering Arabic didn't matter, he peppering his English speech with Italian curses and Arabic adjectives. To say he was eccentric in some ways would be an understatement, but it would also be irrelevant. He was a fully-conscious humanist and used his political readings and personal experience to advocate clearly, intelligently, often humorously, and humanely for Palestinian justice. He was always ready to go out with the fishermen or get up before dawn to accompany farmers facing similar threats from the Israeli army. Many a sleepy morning we would meet to take a shared taxi Vik had arranged for our accompaniment work in the southeast or north, Vik always in good humor. He always documented our accompaniments with his hand-held camera, along with one or two of us, and would quickly have the footage transferred to computer and uploaded to the internet.

Ethnic cleansing: Expulsion of Palestinians from Jerusalem, AD 2011


information referred to in Article Even Tony Blair can not save Palestinian Bookseller to the Stars , Nazareth who wrote the journalist and author Jonathan Cook, and which in its entirety on English can be read on the link .

14th travanj 2011th
Munther Fahmi, the famous "Jerusalem bookseller" among its customers are Tony Blair, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter and Uma Thurman, and whose Jerusalem bookstore represented an oasis of dialogue between the Palestinians and Israel, in which famous writers and intellectuals from both sides regularly appeared and talked about his work, soon, in spite of all their respectable acquaintances, he could be expelled from Jerusalem.

Israeli officials told him that after 16 years selling books in East Jerusalem, is no longer welcome in Israel nor in Jerusalem.

2 months ago Fahmi has exhausted all his available remedies when an Israeli high court refused to cancel the order for his deportation. The only remaining hope for him now is a government committee which asked for help on humanitarian grounds. However, there has high hopes for a positive outcome, because it the lawyer warned that the Palestinians requests are almost never accepted.

Munther Fahmi (57) for many years has a U.S. passport in Jerusalem residence with a tourist visa, which expired in third April. "Fahmi was just one among thousands of Palestinians to cancel the policy affects their right to live in Jerusalem, which Israel carried out more than 40 years," said Dalia Kerstein from the Israeli human rights organizations Hamoked.

Although Israel 1967th , in contradiction with international law, annexed east Jerusalem, the majority Palestinian population in the area only received Israeli permission to live in Jerusalem, and not citizenship.

According to Israeli data, since then the Israeli government the right to reside in Jerusalem, abolished more than 13 000 Palestinians - from the 260 000 who are currently living in East Jerusalem.

Ms. Kerstein said that the number of Palestinians who abolished the right of residence increased sharply in recent years, and that was only in 2008. The more than 4500 Palestinians have lost their rights to live in Jerusalem, until last year still does not have complete data.

According to Israeli law, Palestinians in Jerusalem can lose their right to permanent residence if you are abroad (including Palestinian territory occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip) spend at least 7 years or if you have a passport.

Israeli courts since 1988. was confirmed by abolishing the right of residence in cases where the authorities claimed that the Palestinians which abolishes the right to live in Jerusalem, changed its "center of life".

"It is obvious that there is no policy of repression of Palestinians from Jerusalem and Israel to reduce what is referred to as" Palestinian demographic threat ", said Ms. Kerstein. "It is actually about ethnic cleansing."

Last week the Hamoked and ACRI - also one of the Israeli Association for Human Rights - Israel's Supreme Court submitted a request to revoke this policy, arguing that it violates international law. ACRI-jev attorney Oded Feller said that the Palestinians in East Jerusalem is actually "prisoners" that Israel is punished if you participate in a globalized world.

"The problem is that the Israeli government and the courts by people like Munther treated as immigrants, ignoring the fact that they, as indigenous inhabitants of this city, have an inalienable right to live in it," said Ms. Kerstein.

Like most Palestinians in East Jerusalem, Mr Fahmija family in 1967. was refused Israeli citizenship. "We are Palestinians, while Israel occupies us. Why should we take citizenship and thus gave legitimacy to the occupation? "

However, because these are decisions Munther and many other Palestinians from Jerusalem now in a precarious position.

Fahm is entitled to permanent residence terminated - without his knowledge - over a long period spent in the United States, starting since 1975. when he went overseas to study. The U.S. passport is received after the country's married and raised families of their own.

1995th years after the signing of the Oslo agreement, he decided to return and live again in Jerusalem.

past 16 years Munther was forced to once every few months to get in and out of Israel to renew his tourist visa through which lives in Jerusalem.

However, 18 months ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs informed him that it more in line with the new policy, it will automatically issue a tourist visa. They told him that he can now spend only 3 months of the year in Israel, including Jerusalem. In his petition Humanitarian Committee Munther said that Jerusalem must be nurtured to its 76-year-old mother.

"Is there any other country where the indigenous population in their home country behave this way?" Asks Munther.

policy of denial of travel visas Palestinians with foreign passports are inconsistently implemented, said Ms. Kerstein, due to the objections of American and European embassies.

However, it seems that Mr. Fahmi strange choice for the implementation of this policy, given his many influential friends, and supporters. A petition of support signed by more than 2000 people, including the British novelist Ian McEwan, the historian Eric Hobsbawm and author Simon Sebag Montefiorija. Fahmi hopes that the support that his struggle for the right to live in their city and also provide many Israelis and Jews outside Israel, including two best-known Israeli novelists Amos Oz and David Grossman, could not prevent his expulsion from Jerusalem. "I hope the authorities will find that many of the people who support me describe themselves as friends of Israel," he said.

Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Columbia University in New York, who also signed the petition, argues that the case of Mr Fahmija points to Israel's determination to maintain a clear Jewish majority in Jerusalem. "Reports in the Israeli upujućuju media that the Israeli security service compiled a list of several hundred activists in Jerusalem where they want to issue orders of expulsion. "

formula thought up by a committee of the Israeli government 1973rd The desired ratio between the percentage of Israeli Jews and Palestinians in Jerusalem was set at 73 versus 27th However, despite an aggressive policy of settling Jews in East Jerusalem, due to the higher birthrate among Palestinians, the Palestinian population rises to more than a third of the total population of Jerusalem.

"I do not know any family in East Jerusalem, which has at least one member affected by this policy cancellation rights to residence, "said Professor Khalidi." This is a systematic policy. "

Israel last year expanded the application of this policy when he quashed the right of residence 4 Hamas members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (parliament) that lived in East Jerusalem. This year also Gheithu Adnan, a prominent Palestinian political activist who opposed the Jewish colonization in its fourth Silwan in East Jerusalem, forbidden to enter Jerusalem.

indication that Palestinians in East Jerusalem, fearing that it threatened their right to residence in this city is certainly the increase in requests for granting Palestinians Israeli citizenship over the past 5 years. Data from the Israeli Ministry of Interior for this year show that about 13 000 Palestinians of Jerusalem, or 5% of the population, now Israeli citizens.

Friday (15 . April) are organized gathering of bereaved people in Gaza and Ramallah. Citizens are paying tribute to slain activist, and the UN headquarters in Gaza held a protest. Weekly protests that took place after noon pray in the villages of Bil'in and Al Masara were devoted Vittoro Arrigoni. On Saturday in downtown Nablus held in commemoration of which the participants condemned the murder Vittorijevo and praised his work. Vittorio actively supports the just struggle of the Palestinian people for 10 years. The past 2 and a half years with the International Solidarity Movement monitor Israeli violations of human rights and support the nonviolent resistance of the Palestinian people against Israeli occupation in Gaza and informed the public, both in his homeland of Italy, and throughout the world, about the situation there. Vittorio has been written about Palestine for the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto and Peacereporter and advocated for a boycott, disinvestment and sanctions against Israel. Vittorijev friend of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights Khaleel Shaheen said: "This is a black day in the Palestinian history. We fully condemn the horrific murder of our friend Vittorio. We demand from local authorities responsible to justice as soon as possible. Vittorio is forever in our thoughts. He is a hero of Palestine. "

Gaza in shock as Islamists kill kidnapped Italian
" He's very well-known, he lives among the people, "said Huwaidi Arraf, a co-founder of ISM. "Vit has repeatedly put his life in danger, put his life on the line in support of the Palestinians." A journalist colleague at the Italian daily Il Manifesto said he was "astounded" by Arrigoni's death. "We're also wondering how a pacifist who was wholeheartedly pro-Palestinian could be killed by Palestinians, even though you have to ask who those Palestinians were," Maurizio Matteuzzi told AFP. In Jerusalem, shocked Italian volunteers who had just left Gaza converged on a hotel in the city's annexed eastern sector, the horror evident upon their faces. "He was a lively, lovely person, we made fun of him because he was more Palestinian than Italian," said Simona Ghizzoni, a 34-year-old photographer who worked in Gaza for the Italian NGO Cospe. "He was a real believer and a real activist for Palestinian human rights. "When we got to the Palestinian checkpoint before Erez, there were all these Palestinians coming and saying 'We are sorry, we are sorry.' All the Palestinians I met are completely shocked and sad," she said. Arrigoni is the third ISM member to be killed in Gaza -- US national Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in March 2003, and a month later Briton Tom Hurndall was shot and critically injured by the army. He died in January 2004. In Gaza City, several hundred people rallied in the Square of the Unknown Soldier against the killing, while in the West Bank, around 100 people, most of them foreigners, marched through Ramallah to a house of mourning in El Bireh, an AFP correspondent said.

"A Beautiful Soul, a Big Heart": Italian Peace Activist Vittorio Arrigoni Slain by Militant Captors in Gaza Strip (video)
Salafijske skupine u Gazi sada tvrde da nisu umiješane u pogubljenje Vittorija Arrigonija.
And then the video popped up on the internet, showing him bound and blindfolded, with his face a little bit swollen and bloodied. Despite that—we started working right away, talking to everyone we knew, putting out an appeal to secure his release, and making sure that whoever had him knew what a tireless advocate for Palestinian rights Vittorio was. But, you know, even the horror of seeing that video and knowing that he was being held in that state, we didn't think—it didn't really cross our mind that they could harm him. He is such a beautiful soul. Anyone coming into contact with him would know just how committed he was. And I was just sure that if his captors would talk to him, they would see that, you know ... All I know and all I could say is that Vittorio has one of the most beautiful souls, big heart, of anybody I've ever had the honor of meeting. And his killing is truly a loss for-you know, not just for those of us who knew him, but for all of Palestine.

Jeff Halper: Remembering VIK
Vittorio during his work with Palestinian fishermen wounded by Israeli soldiers who regularly opened fire on Palestinian civilian fishing boats in the sea of \u200b\u200bGaza. Israel is thus in the past 10 years killed 18 and wounded oko 200 palestinskih ribara, te uništio mnoge brodiće i opremu. Vittorio je i prije proboja izraelske blokade brodovima 2008. aktivno pomagao Palestincima na Zapadnoj obali. Izrael ga je 3 puta pritvarao i zatim deportirao.
Vik was truly a person greater than life. He was so filled with energy, a mixture of joy, camaraderie and impatience with the confines of boats and prisons like Gaza, that he would suddenly lift you into the air, or wrestle with you – he was a big, strong, handsome guy, ebullient and smiling even in the most oppressive and dangerous situations – as if to tell you: Yaala! These Israel naval ships shooting at us and the Palestinian fisherman cannot prevail over our solidarity, outrage and the justice of our cause! (Vik was wounded in one of those confrontations). He would come up behind you and say: The Occupation will fall just like this! (and he would wrestle you to the ground, laughing and playing with you as he did). Vik, who like me received Palestinian citizenship and a passport when we broke the siege of Gaza and sailed into Gaza port in August, 2008, was a peace-maker exemplar. … He was especially known for accompanying the fishermen as they tried to ply their trade despite almost daily shootings at them from the Israeli navy, who confined them to the fished-out, sewage-filled waters near the Gaza coast. At least eighteen fishermen have been killed in the past decade, about 200 injured, many boats wrecked and much equipment ruined. But he was intimately involved wherever he was needed in Gaza, among the farmers as well as traumatized children, in times of distress – his book, Gaza: Stay Human, documents his experiences among the people during Israel's three-week attack in 2008-09 – and simply being with the people in their coffee shops and homes. Vik was what we call a “witness”: someone who put himself physically with the oppressed and shared with them their triumphs, tragedies, sufferings and hopes. Yet he was one who through his actions tried to affect genuine change. He, like Juliano, Rachel and so many others who have sacrificed themselves for peace and justice in Palestine and the world over, leave a huge hole in our hearts, our lives and in the struggle.

With Great Shock and Sorrow, PCHR Condemns Murder of Italian Activist, Vittorio Arrigoni
On Friday morning, 15 April 2011, security services found the body of Arrigoni in a house located in the 'Amer project area, west of al-Karamah building in the west of Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip. In his testimony, a PCHR staff-member reported signs of beating on the victim's face, signs of handcuffs on his hands, and signs of strangulation around his neck. The Ministry of Interior in Gaza issued a press release on Friday, condemning this heinous crime. It declared the arrest of two members of the group and the continued search for others. Arrigoni had worked in Gaza since 2008, when he arrived on board the "Free Gaza" flotilla, organized to break the closure imposed on the Gaza Strip. He devoted himself to the defense of Palestinians' rights, and participated in a number of activities against the closure, against violations committed by Israeli Forces against Palestinian civilians, particularly fishermen, and against the Israeli decision to impose a ‘buffer zone’ in the Gaza Strip. He was arrested by Israel forces on18 November 2008, while he was accompanying a number of fishermen off the shores of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip. However, he returned to Gaza a few months later via Rafah International Crossing. Arrigoni was also in the West Bank for a few years before coming to Gaza. He has been known for his activity with the International Solidarity Movement.

Vittorio Arrigoni: pacifist supporter of the Palestinian cause
But Arrigoni's life was anything but safe. In September 2008 he was injured accompanying Palestinian fishermen at sea. Two years ago he received a death threat from a US far-right website that provided any would-be killers with a photo and details of distinguishing physical traits, such as a tattoo on his shoulder.

Solidarity Statements in honor of Vittorio Arrigoni
Vik you were dedicated, full of humanity, and fun. Your love for life, music and laughter meant that your presence always created a nice atmosphere for our youth and children in different occasions. You shared our lives in Gaza for more than 2 years. You danced Dabbka. You would always reach out and shake hands with little boys and girls in the streets. You would play football with them. You were there in our funerals as well as our weddings. And, more than that, you protested daily as a member of the ISM alongside with Palestinians on the borders against the buffer zone created by Israel where farmers were unable to reach their land. Viktor you were always there with the ISM and Palestinian people, in peaceful protests against the occupation, calling for justice, peace and a free Palestine. I have known Viktor for more than 2 years. He arrived in Gaza with the Free Gaza Movement in August 2008 and stayed in Gaza during the siege and the different ongoing atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation. He was a real radical revolutionary comrade. On another occasion we met at al Aqsa hospital in the middle of the camps when Bianca, a member of the ISM, was shot by the Israelis in another peaceful protest against the buffer zone. He was so angry and showed his anger in a very open way. An angry young man, with smiling, beautiful, and peaceful eyes. In my apartment in Gaza city we had a light dinner with friends and he was so happy and sang the nice famous Italian song Bella Ciao and translated it for us. I felt empowered and inspired by him.

Vale Vittorio Arrigoni, 'hero of Palestine'
Even after Israel's forces deported him from the West Bank he still took part in a direct action, associated with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), to highlight Israel's deportation of peace activists, taking a flight to Ben Gurion airport in the hope of being allowed to attend a peace conference in Bethlehem – only to be deported after spending Christmas 2005 in detention. I first met and interviewed Arrigoni while he was preparing for this action. He described to me how, after some years of suffering depression, he undertook volunteer work in Africa and Eastern Europe. He soon found himself in Palestine as part of ISM and felt that he had to do all he could to help bring about equality and human rights for Palestinians living under occupation and to raise awareness outside Palestine of the difficulties and injustices of their lives. … Arrigoni's brutal murder comes after the murder of a settler family and the shooting of theatre director Juliano Mer-Khamis last week. Writing as someone who has spent a great deal of time in the West Bank over the years, these events seem alien to the Palestinian culture of resistance I have come to know and respect. Such actions smack of some kind of dirty war, based on motives that have little to do with the ongoing struggle for Palestinian self-determination.

Communication on unprocessed crimes during and immediately after the military operation "Storm"
Operation "Storm" is definitely broken rebellion of Serbs in Croatia, and time and broken self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK). This is the area re-established constitutional legal order of the Croatian Republic. Also, again, the inland route, traffic, connected to the south and north Croatian. This generated the safety assumptions of life in areas that are bordered with the "RSK" and to achieve right to return refugees to their homes, expelled from the area. At the same time, we should bear in mind the consequences of those actions embodied in the arson and looting and numerous unpunished, and even systematically covered up the killings of civilians. Research carried out by the Croatian Helsinki Committee, showed that in August and September 1995., During and after military action, the action of an integrated territory killed more than 600 civilians and burned more than 22,000 houses. Out of fear for personal safety as well as urging the authorities of Krajina, Croatia was then left more than 150,000 of its former residents, mostly Serbs. Their return was hampered by the security measures and justification for the rule of law on the part of Croatian territory, the delayed prosecution of war crimes, ineffective programs and return presporih government measures to encourage economic regeneration. The synergy of these elements resulted in the permanent emigration of the Serbian population from the fifth to the extent of the Croatian territory, which has the effect of ethnic cleansing.


Afghanistan
Anatomy of an Afghan War Tragedy
The Afghan travelers had set out early on the cold morning of Feb. 21, 2010, from three mountain villages in southern Daikundi province, a remote central region 200 miles southwest of Kabul. More than two dozen people were wedged into the three vehicles. Many were Hazaras, an ethnic minority that for years has been treated harshly by the Taliban. They included shopkeepers going for supplies, students returning to school, people seeking medical treatment and families with children off to visit relatives. There were several women and as many as four children younger than 6. … Hellfire missiles struck the first and third vehicles; they burst into flames. Qudratullah, one of the Afghan travelers, recalled, "The helicopters were suddenly on top of us, bombarding us." Dead and wounded were everywhere. Nasim, the 23-year-old mechanic, was knocked unconscious. "When I came to, I could see that our vehicles were wrecked and the injured were everywhere," he said. "I saw someone who was headless and someone else cut in half." The Predator crew in Nevada was exultant, watching men they assumed were enemy fighters trying to help the injured. " 'Self-Aid Buddy Care' to the rescue," one of the drone's crew members said."I forget, how do you treat a sucking chest wound?" said another. Soon, however, the crew in Nevada and the screeners in Florida realized something was wrong. "The thing is, nobody ran," one crew member said. "Yeah, that was weird," another replied. At 9:15 a.m., the Predator crew noticed three survivors in brightly colored clothing waving at the helicopters. They were trying to surrender. "What are those?" asked the camera operator. "Women and children," the Predator's mission intelligence coordinator answered. "That lady is carrying a kid, huh? Maybe," the pilot said. "The baby, I think, on the right. Yeah," the intelligence coordinator said. The Predator's safety coordinator, cursing in frustration, urged the pilot to alert the helicopters and the A-Team that there were children present. "Let them know, dude," he said. "Younger than an adolescent to me," the camera operator said. As they surveyed the carnage, seeing other children, the Predator crew tried to reassure themselves that they could not have known. "No way to tell, man," the safety observer said. "No way to tell from here," the camera operator added. At 9:30 a.m., the pilot came back on the radio. "Since the engagement," he said, "we have not been able to PID [positively identify] any weapons."... By the U.S. count, 15 or 16 men were killed and 12 people were wounded, including a woman and three children. Elders from the Afghans' home villages said in interviews that 23 had been killed, including two boys, Daoud, 3, and Murtaza, 4. ... McChrystal issued letters of reprimand to four senior and two junior officers in Afghanistan. The Air Force said the Predator crew was also disciplined, but it did not specify the punishment. No one faced court-martial, the Pentagon said. Several weeks after the attack, American officers travelled to the villages to apologize to survivors and the victims' families. They gave each survivor 140,000 afghanis, or about $2,900. Families of the dead received $4,800.

3 villagers were detained from their homes in the town of Ramallah during the night between Monday and Tuesday, and their relatives in Awarti, including 2 brothers, were arrested the same night in the village. Brought to the Deputy Chief of the village of Awarta and his a brother, a local journalist. Over the entrance to the village the soldiers searched the graveyard and told locals that he found the old weapons.

The human rights organization Addameer claim that a group of soldiers Jibrila Awada family held captive in their home until 11:30 am on Tuesday. The soldiers gathered 20 members of the family and placed them all in one room in the house and the houses destroyed during the search of internal walls, furniture and porazbijali počupali trees around the house. Among persons who were detained for hours in the room there were 10 children and a pregnant woman. Ambulances are allowed to evacuate a sick wife and a pregnant woman from home. The soldiers at noon was still in the house, along with the remaining 18 family members.

The soldiers check identity cards of all residents and arrested three men from the village of Awarta. All three were taken to a nearby Israeli Ofer detention center.

Locals claim that one of the arrested men, a doctor, while others suffer from kidney failure and is now under house arrest that he determined the Palestinian security service several months ago. The third was arrested a month ago was released from Israeli prisons.

Israeli officials do not make statements about events in the village of Awarta because they are part of a murder investigation kolonističke kolonističkog families from nearby villages. The Israeli government has banned publication of any details about this investigation. For a month, from 11 March 2011. when the murder took place, Israeli forces constantly enter the village and searched the house and detain and forcing villagers to DNA testing.

Human rights groups accuse Israel of all time horrible murder investigation kolonističke family violates international right. On Monday night in Israel, the Palestinian prime minister Fayyad in the West Bank refused to allow to enter the territory of the village of Awarta and visiting residents, and the human rights organizations invited to the village immediately send international observers to be present during the arrests and searches.

6th April Umm Adam and her 80-year-old husband were taken for questioning at a military base Huwwara. The soldiers were in a yard in the village gathered around 150 women and one by one took them for interrogation.

"One interrogator accused me of killing five colonists in Ithamar. I answered that I was 70 years and I'm sick, and it is therefore ridiculous think that I could be involved in this crime ... then they took fingerprints and let me free after 4 hours, "said Umm Adam.

In the same wave of arrests and arrested Umm Adamine 3 daughters. They along with their husbands taken away for questioning, which lasted 10 hours, after which they were released.

They were beaten for no reason, as my wife put the handcuffs on your hands and porazbijali everything inside the house, windows, refrigerator, washing machine and kitchen appliances. Shed and spilled the oil, sugar, salt and flour on the floor and mixed them. "She said.

Despite constant raids, arrests, trials and tests are still no one suspected of crimes against kolonističkom family. Because of the ban on publishing information about this case is not clear what the evidence points to the villagers Awarta, and no indication of other measures. Previous reports mentioned the Thai workers from kolonističkog villages who were taken in for questioning after the murders, but about their possible involvement has no new information.

The 2011/5771 JVP Passover Haggadah
Almost 58 percent of Palestinians live in poverty, and about half of this group lives in extreme poverty. About 50 percent of Palestinians experience or risk experiencing food insecurity. Food insecurity is particularly severe in Gaza, where the majority of the population relies on humanitarian assistance to survive. ... The original Palestinian refugees and their descendants are estimated to number more than 6.5 million and constitute the worldʼs oldest and largest refugee population. Israel implements a Law of Return giving every Jewish person rights to settle in Israel as a citizen and denies Palestinians the Right of Return guaranteed under international Law. JVPʼs position on Palestinian refugees and the right of return: The plight of Palestinian refugees needs to be resolved equitably and in a manner that promotes peace and is consistent with international law. Within the framework of an equitable agreement, the refugees should have a role in determining their future, whether pursuing return, resettlement, or financial compensation. Israel should recognize its share of responsibility for the ongoing refugee crisis and for its resolution. ... Many Jewish schools and communities wrongly teach that in 1948 Palestine was “a land without a people for a people without a land.” Yet the place where Israel was founded was never empty or barren, it was home to almost one million Palestinians living in over 700 villages and cities, who share a vibrant history and culture. Most of these villages and cities were depopulated and renamed during and after 1948, as part of the still ongoing efforts to undermine and disavow Palestinian identity and history. … This year Palestinians are refugees next year, may all Palestinians have the right to return to their home lands and to Jerusalem. Next Year in Jerusalem! Next Year in al-Quds! Next year in a City of Peace!


on the Prevention of entry of construction materials into Gaza (11 April 2011th)
construction in the Gaza Strip carried out a snail's pace because Israel keeps open only one border crossing in the Gaza Strip - Kerem Shalom crossing - through which to resort to importing all goods, and therefore it is among the few places in the building material. The average monthly quantity of "prohibited" building materials (steel, cement and gravel), which was played in Israel in the Gaza Strip Between October 2010. and February 2011. amounted to 20 000 tonnes, which is only 7.6% of the average monthly amount (264 000 tonnes) which was entered before the closure of Gaza crossings in the period from January to May 2007. Israeli security authorities claim to restrict the import of these construction materials because Hamas can be used for military purposes, such as the construction of bunkers and tunnels. However, according to UN report, between October 2010. and February 2011. in the Gaza Strip through tunnels without Israeli supervision entered 98 000 tonnes of steel, cement and gravel - 5 times as much as Israel has let to enter through the border crossing during the same period. In addition to the inefficiency of the Israeli restrictions prevent Hamas to reach a construction material, the upper figure shows how large the demand for construction material in Gaza Strip compared to the limited quantity of the import permit Israel through the border crossings. Virtual monopoly, thanks to such Israeli policies, the tunnels have to import construction materials, allows local authorities to streamline the international organization of the vital structures. The authorities in Gaza using building materials that enter through the tunnels, while international organizations can not do because of regulations that prevent them from doing.
