Israeli army preventing Palestinian from sowing land near settlement -

The Israeli military is preventing a Palestinian from sowing the land he 
owns because of its proximity to an illegal settlement outpost, which 
lies on a plot of state land, right in the middle of his property.
 
Fawzi Ibrahim, a resident of the village of Jalud, south of Nablus in 
the West Bank, has been trying in vain for more than a month to 
coordinate with the Israel Defense Forces to find a time to sow his 220 
dunams of land. In November, he was able to plow the land under IDF 
escort. But if he isn’t able to sow it in the coming days, he says, he 
will lose the 18,000 shekels ($5,200) he spent to buy seed, and miss the 
chance to harvest a crop.
 
Ever since the second intifada erupted in 2000, the IDF has opted to bar 
Palestinian farmers from accessing their lands near settlements and 
outposts rather than confront the settlers who sometimes attack them. In 
2006, the High Court of Justice ruled that the IDF must enable 
Palestinians to work their land. Since then, Palestinian farmers have 
been able to work their lands under IDF escort, but only with prior 
coordination, and only for a few days a year, during the plowing, 
planting, reaping and olive harvesting seasons.
 
Ibrahim was unable to access his land near the Esh Kadosh settlement for 
about a decade. Only last year, following a protracted legal battle, 
waged by Rabbis for Human Rights, was he finally able to plow and plant 
it again. Rabbis for Human Rights said the IDF’s current failure to set 
a date to escort Ibrahim to his fields not only violates the court’s 
ruling, but also encourages violence by Esh Kadosh residents.
 
About three weeks ago, the IDF’s Civil Administration in the West Bank 
uprooted grapevines that settlers had illegally planted on another plot 
of land Ibrahim owns. The vines were planted during the long stretches 
when Ibrahim was barred from accessing his land, and their uprooting was 
the pretext for a planned attack by Esh Kadosh residents on the nearby 
village of Qusra on January 7. That attack went awry, however, when 
Qusra residents instead captured and beat the settlers.
 
Last month, Ibrahim asked Maj. Tzidki Maman of the IDF’s Coordination 
and Liaison Administration to arrange an army escort for him to sow his 
land near Esh Kadosh. When he failed to get a response, he sought help 
from Rabbis for Human Rights. On January 2, the administration informed 
them that the IDF didn’t know when Ibrahim would be able to access his 
land, since “it’s impossible to foresee the future.”
 
Rabbis for Human Rights sent a letter protesting the delay to the 
Military Advocate General, and on January 12, were told that the 
regional brigade would be prepared to escort Ibrahim to his land in the 
near future, “subject to the security situation and the periodic 
situation assessment.”
 
On January 14, Maman said he thought the escort would be arranged for 
January 20 or 21. But on January 19, he told Ibrahim that he hadn’t 
received approval from the brigade. Since then, Ibrahim and Rabbis for 
Human Rights have contacted the army repeatedly, both verbally and in 
writing, but received no answer.
 
Because the Shiloh Valley, where Esh Kadosh is located, contains several 
outposts in close proximity, the IDF has barred residents of Jalud from 
accessing about 10,000 dunams of land, out of a total of 16,000 dunams 
privately owned by village residents. Most of this is agricultural land, 
and on about 1,550 dunams of it, local settlers have planted vineyards 
and olive groves. In addition, Ibrahim and other Jalud residents have 
had their olive groves vandalized repeatedly over the years, with trees 
being either chopped down or torched.
 
The Civil Administration told Haaretz the liaison administration is 
aware of Ibrahim’s case and is dealing with it.
 
“Every few days, the administration’s infrastructure officer has a 
conversation with Mr. Fawzi Ibrahim,” a spokeswoman said. “He was told 
explicitly that there is no possibility of coordinating his access to 
the area because of the security situation at the moment. There’s no 
basis to his claims about not receiving a response from the 
administration.”

e quello di Amira Hass pulsa per altro
 
The Law of Return for Jews is problematic (1)
[...]
Though Hass tries to refrain from making predictions about the future, she believes the only workable solution to the Mideast conflict is not a two-state solution, but a one-state solution.  
[...]
"The binational state is the peaceful solution," she said. "The Palestinians are fighting for their rights. [The desire for] equality is universal, as basic as eating and sleeping."
General wisdom might dictate that as the child of Holocaust survivors, she would feel the necessity for a Jewish state. But in Hass' case, it's the opposite.
