Repression against British Muslims

08-03-2004 21:10

The Death of Human Rights

It seems as though human rights are slowly becoming a thing of the past as governments such as that of the United States and Britain continue to implement strict repressive laws in the name of “fighting terrorism”. It is obvious now that many victims of post 9/11anti-terrorist legislation are those from ethnic minority communities and especially those in the Muslim community.

Words have failed us - Amira Hass

07-03-2004 16:52

This is an admission of failure. The written word is a failure at making tangible to Israeli readers the true horror of the occupation in the Gaza Strip. When something is written about the sea being closed off to Palestinians in the north and south of the Strip, the response will be "they are terrorists." If something is written about neighborhoods in the western part of the Khan Yunis refugee camp and how the buildings are all full of bullet holes from heavy machine guns and cannon shells, the response will be "the Palestinians started it." Tell the story of how 15-year-old Yusuf Bashir's family home in Dir al-Balah has been turned into an army fortress, and in Israel they'll say, "there is no choice, the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom must be protected, like Kfar Dekalim, Atzmona and Morag."

The Passion and Zionism

05-03-2004 19:02

My family lives in Beit Sahur, the biblical Shepherds' Field. The church of Nativity in Bethlehem is about 700 yards from the house in Beit Sahour where I was born and the church where I was baptized. Many, but not all, Palestinians adopted Islam over the years, just as not all Palestinian Jews and Pagans became Christians. Despite the usual problems between minorities and majorities, we all coexisted.
