PRESS RELEASE
Condemnation Of Decision By Israel Government To Include Ibrahimi &
Bilal - Bin - Rabah Mosques As Israeli Archeological Sites
 
ibrahimi mosque

The Al-Quds Foundation SA, The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) and the Media Review Network (MRN) strongly condemn the decision of the Israeli Government to include the Ibrahimi mosque in Al Khalil (Hebron) as well as the Bilal BIn Rabah mosque in Bait Laham (Bethlehem) on the list of Israeli archeological sites. This decision is an extremely outrageous one and is yet another indication of Israel’s deliberate disregard for religious and heritage sites of the Palestinian people.

Let us be reminded that this decision coincides with the 16th anniversary of the massacre that occurred at the Ibrahimi mosque on the 25th February 1994, where an American, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, an Israeli settler, opened fire at worshippers during prayer, killing 29 and injuring hundreds. Subsequent to this incident an agreement was made in 1995 that granted the waqf (a traditional trust holding land for Islamic religious purposes) control of 81% of the site that holds the Ibrahimi mosque. Therefore it is quite baffling how the Israeli government can suddenly alter this decision by making unilateral decisions regarding these Holy sites.

The silence of the International community and regulatory authorities is deafening in the wake of yet another of Israel’s flagrant crimes against the Palestinian people. It is time for justice to prevail and for those in authority who are responsible for the protection of the rights of all people, to carry out that which they were entrusted with.

Inside The Mind of Newsweek on "Terrorism"

By Glenn Greenwald

(source: Salon Media Group.com)

On so many levels, this is one of the most stunningly revealing things I've read in quite some time.  As I documented last week, the media's reluctance to describe IRS attacker Joe Stack as a "terrorist" reveals that this term has little to do with the act itself and everything to do with the demographic attributes of the actor:  namely, in the American political lexicon, "Terrorists" are Muslims who dislike the U.S., while Americans -- especially ones who are white and non-Muslim -- cannot, by definition, qualify.  Anyone who has doubts about that or who thought my argument was hyperbole should click on that link, which will direct you to an internal discussion among Newsweek editors and writers over their reluctance to use the term "Terrorist" to describe Stack and who they believe qualifies instead.

Aside from the suffocating denseness of their discussion -- most of them ramble on about who is and is not a "Terrorist" for three straight days without even attempting to define what that term means -- just look at how blatantly tribalistic and propagnadistic they are about its usage.  Many of them all but say outright that it can apply only to Muslims but never non-Muslim Americans.  The whole thing has to be read to be believed -- and what's most amazing is that they published it because they obviously though it was some sort of probing, intelligent discussion which would enlighten the public -- but let's just examine a few of the contributions.

Listen to the Heroes of Israel

By John Pilger

(source: AntiWar.com)

I phoned Rami Elhanan the other day. We had not spoken for six years and much has happened in Israel and Palestine. Rami is an Israeli graphic designer who lives with his family in Jerusalem. His father survived Auschwitz. His grandparents and six aunts and uncles perished in the Holocaust. Whenever I am asked about heroes, I say Rami and his wife Nurit without hesitation.  

Soon after when we met, Rami gave me a home videotape that was difficult to watch. It shows his daughter Smadar, aged 14, throwing her head back, laughing and playing the piano. "She loved to dance," he said. On the afternoon of 4 September, 1997, Smadar and her best friend, Sivane, had auditions for admission to a dance school. She had argued that morning with her mother, who was anxious about her going to the centre of Jerusalem. "I didn’t want to row," said Nurit, "so I let her go."

Apartheid is alive and well in a street in the Israeli-controlled West Bank

February 25, 2010 Edition 1

By Zenande Booi and Quinton Combrink

Apartheid South Africa demanded surplus quantities of moral blindness and monomaniacal creativity from those tasked with ensuring the separation between black and white. And then the systems of influx control, separate identity cards, and Bantustan development folded like a spectacular house of cards.

Off somewhere, in old age, sit those men who played God, either reconciled to their folly or nursing an injured pride while doggedly insisting on the unappreciated genius of their grand policy of separation.

It would surely add insult to injury for them to find out about the current arrangements in Shuhada Street in the Israeli-controlled West Bank. Not only is the separate-roads policy, of which Shuhada Street is a prime example, an absurdity that surpasses South Africa's separate beaches, but it is also part of a planned "policy of separation" - because that is the official terminology - alive and well in the 21st century.

Israel Accused Of Dooming Ethiopian Baby Boom

(source: Russian T.V)

A feminist movement has accused the Israeli government of adopting a racist policy towards the country's Ethiopian Jews.

Activists believe black women are deliberately being given a controversial contraceptive drug to bring about a drop in the population – a claim the government denies.

child

Thousands of Ethiopians have immigrated to Israel since the 1980s, but their Jewish heritage has been questioned, while their social status continues to suffer.

For nearly four years, Racheli Mangoli has been running a youth center in one of Israel's poorer communities. Forty-five Ethiopian families live here, but throughout that entire time, only one Ethiopian baby has been born in this neighborhood, and that has alarmed Racheli.

For The Record - Star

iqbal jassatharrath

January 27,2010 Edition 2

The Star reported yesterday in an article headlined "DStv channel chief executive granted interdict in Tunisian extradition case" that newspaper reports in the UK claimed that Media Review Network chairman Iqbal Jassat worked for Scotland Yard as an adviser on preventing terrorism. This is incorrect. In fact, reports in British newspapers suggested that Mohamed Ali Harrath, the chief executive of the London-based Islam Channel, worked for Scotland Yard.
