With the middle east amidst many political reforms and humanitarian uprisings, the Palestinian people have every right to claim their stolen land and the rest of their basic humanitarian needs. Egypt had a tyrannical ruler for 30 years, Libya 40 years, Tunis 32 years and the Palestinians have been deprived of their freedom for 63 years. It is time to put an end to this…

Israel to curb Al-Aqsa entry for Nakba events
Published yesterday (updated) 12/05/2011 20:24





JERUSALEM (AFP) -- Israel's law and order chief said Thursday some Muslims will be denied entry to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound Friday when Palestinians begin marking Nakba Day, which commemorates the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians in fighting that led to the creation of the State of Israel.

Israeli Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch told public radio that police would "thin out the number of worshipers at the Temple Mount" -- Israel's term for the compound inside the walled Old City which houses the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

The move to limit access to what is the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina, came as the Palestinians were poised to begin a series of marches and demonstrations in the run up to Nakba Day, which will be commemorated on Sunday.

Activists behind a website called "The Third Intifada" have also called for a new uprising, which would see thousands of Palestinians march towards Israeli checkpoints, and refugees towards homes from which they fled or were forced out of when Israel was created in 1948.

Palestinian refugees are also expected to stage rallies and demonstrations in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed that some restrictions would be in force during the Friday prayers but he was not immediately able to give details.

Israel on Tuesday celebrated the 63rd anniversary of its creation, marking the date according to the Hebrew calendar.

Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and Israel and abroad, who mourn the day as the "Nakba" or "catastrophe," are to stage three days of rallies and protests starting on Friday.

But Aharonovitch told the radio he believed the anniversary would pass quietly, and Israeli news website Ynet quoted him as saying he had instructed the security forces "to exercise restraint and avoid using force."

More than 760,000 Palestinians -- estimated today to number 4.8 million with their descendants -- were pushed into exile or driven out of their homes in the conflict surrounding Israel's creation.

Around 160,000 Palestinians, who remained in Israel after 1948, now number around 1.36 million people, or 20 percent of the country's population.

Successive Israeli governments have refused to allow the Palestinian refugees to return to homes they fled from or were forced out of in 1948 for fear that a massive influx would threaten the Jewish majority in Israel, which now counts some 5.8 million Jewish citizens.

Israel's army has beefed up its presence in the West Bank ahead of Sunday, out of the fear that large-scale demonstrations could break out during the day, Israeli media reported.

Authorities expect this year's commemorations to be significantly larger than usual because Israel's Knesset in March passed the “Nakba Law”, which allows the state to fine local authorities and other state-funded bodies if they use state funds to hold events marking the day, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Israeli army prepares for Nakba Day
Published Wednesday 11/05/2011 (updated) 12/05/2011 03:01


http://www.maannews.net/images/345x230/122465_345x230.jpg




TEL AVIV, Israel (Ma’an) -- Israel's army is "preparing to face the possibility of a third Palestinian intifada outbreak" Israeli military official Galey Zahal told the country's Army Radio on Wednesday morning.

He cited Facebook groups calling for a popular uprising on May 15, when Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the period of 1948 during which an estimated 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes during fighting that would see the establishment of the state of Israel.

Groups have planned mass rallies around the world, outside of Israeli embassies in North America and Europe, calling for an end to the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem, and a recognized right of return for millions of refugees and their descendants.

Zahal told the station that while troops were preparing, they felt risks were generally low, on account of security coordination with the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, which would "forbid the expansion of these protests."

Palestinians seeking to commemorate the day in Israel, however, face a fine of three times the event’s cost, doubling if it is violated again within two years.

The ‘Nakba bill’, passed by Israel's Knesset in March, requires state fines for local authorities and state-funded bodies that organize or fund events commemorating the expulsions and creation of hundreds of thousands of refugees.

The bill has been criticized for its vague language, prohibiting any activity "which would entail undermining the foundations of the state and contradict its values." Proposed by lawmakers from the right-wing party Yisrael Beiteinu, the bill was revised from earlier versions imposing a three-year prison sentence.
