Palestine Justice Network - links to: help for human rights and justice for Palestine

http://www.palestinejn.org/en/act-by-country/palestine/brief-background

THURSDAY, 22 JULY 2010 17:17

These sections by country aim to put together highlights of possible actions for human rights and justice that are unique to each country (like US, Canada, Australia etc). Obviously there are also common actions that are to be done by all (e.g. campaigns like breaking the siege on Gaza).  Certainly and by nature actions in Palestine are the most significant and have led the actions for our freedom.  We in Palestine have engaged in resisting the Zionist project for 130+ years (the date of the first Zionist colony in Palestine).

We will soon put in this sections a history including selected examples of inspiring actions on the ground. We will also endeavor to help local resistance committees who do not have their own webpage by creating a webpage here for their activities. In the meantime, here is a list of local civil resistance/nonviolent struggle Groups (selected) that can be accessed to help:

La Liga Árabe rechaza la propuesta de seguridad de EE.UU. para un futuro estado palestino - La Vanguardia

http://www.lavanguardia.com/internacional/20131221/54398475841/arabes-rechazan-propuesta-de-seguridad-de-eeuu-para-futuro-estado-palestino.html

Los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la Liga Árabe reiteraron debe ser independiente y con su capital en Jerusalén Este

Internacional | 21/12/2013 - 21:23h | Última actualización: 22/12/2013 - 02:56h

El Cairo, (Efe).- Los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la Liga Árabe rechazaron hoy una propuesta de seguridad estadounidense para el futuro estado palestino, que reiteraron debe ser independiente y con su capital en Jerusalén Este.

En una reunión extraordinaria en El Cairo, celebrada a petición del presidente palestino, Mahmud Abás, los jefes de la diplomacia árabe criticaron el plan de EEUU sobre una eventual presencia militar israelí durante diez años en el límite con Cisjordania.

Abás ya expresó su descontento con esta idea a mediados de este mes en un mensaje a las autoridades estadounidenses, que median en las conversaciones de paz entre palestinos e israelíes.

De acuerdo a ese plan, aviones de reconocimiento estadounidenses vigilarían el territorio palestino y militares israelíes se desplegarían en zonas estratégicas a lo largo de la frontera con el futuro estado palestino, que debería ser desmilitarizado.

La Liga Árabe insistió en una resolución al final de la reunión que la solución al conflicto debe basarse en la Iniciativa de Paz Árabe, aprobada en 2002.

Esta iniciativa estipula la retirada israelí de todos los territorios árabes ocupados durante la guerra de 1967 a cambio del reconocimiento a Israel.

Los ministros árabes también rechazaron "todas las medidas y planes políticos israelíes que tienen como objetivo alterar las realidades demográfica y geográfica de los territorios palestinos ocupados", según el texto.

Se encargó al secretario general de la Liga Árabe, Nabil al Arabi, enviar un mensaje al secretario de Estado de EEUU, John Kerry, para reiterarle la posición árabe.

Por otro lado, los ministros responsabilizaron al Gobierno israelí de "obstaculizar el proceso de paz mediante el asesinato de palestinos y sus planes de construir asentamientos".

Al Arabi dijo en una rueda de prensa tras la reunión que ni los países árabes ni la Autoridad Nacional Palestina (ANP) harán concesiones a Israel.

Por último, recordó que los países árabes acordaron con EEUU supervisar negociaciones entre ambas partes que no deben durar más de nueve meses, entre fines de julio de 2013 y abril de 2014.

Las estadísticas del servicio secreto israelí Shabak muestran un repunte de la violencia en la segunda parte de 2013 entre palestinos e israelíes, lo que hace temer una nueva Intifada si fracasan las negociaciones de paz.

Stephen Hawking joins academic boycott of Israel

Physicist pulls out of conference hosted by president Shimon Peres in protest at treatment of Palestinians

Professor Stephen Hawking is backing the academic boycott of Israel by pulling out of a conference hosted by Israeli president Shimon Peres in Jerusalem as a protest at Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

Hawking, 71, the world-renowned theoretical physicist and former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, had accepted an invitation to headline the fifth annual president's conference, Facing Tomorrow, in June, which features major international personalities, attracts thousands of participants and this year will celebrate Peres's 90th birthday.

Hawking is in very poor health, but last week he wrote a brief letter to the Israeli president to say he had changed his mind. He has not announced his decision publicly, but a statement published by the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine with Hawking's approval described it as "his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there".

Hawking's decision marks another victory in the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions targeting Israeli academic institutions.

In April the Teachers' Union of Ireland became the first lecturers' association in Europe to call for an academic boycott of Israel, and in the United States members of the Association for Asian American Studies voted to support a boycott, the first national academic group to do so.

In the four weeks since Hawking's participation in the Jerusalem event was announced, he has been bombarded with messages from Britain and abroad as part of an intense campaign by boycott supporters trying to persuade him to change his mind. In the end, Hawking told friends, he decided to follow the advice of Palestinian colleagues who unanimously agreed that he should not attend.

Hawking's decision met with abusive responses on Facebook, with many commentators focusing on his physical condition, and some accusing him of antisemitism.

By participating in the boycott, Hawking joins a small but growing list of British personalities who have turned down invitations to visit Israel, including Elvis Costello, Roger Waters, Brian Eno, Annie Lennox and Mike Leigh.

However, many artists, writers and academics have defied and even denounced the boycott, calling it ineffective and selective. Ian McEwan, who was awarded the Jerusalem Prize in 2011, responded to critics by saying: "If I only went to countries that I approve of, I probably would never get out of bed … It's not great if everyone stops talking."

Noam Chomsky, a prominent supporter of the Palestinian cause, has said that he supports the "boycott and divestment of firms that are carrying out operations in the occupied territories" but that a general boycott of Israel is "a gift to Israeli hardliners and their American supporters".

Hawking has visited Israel four times in the past. Most recently, in 2006, he delivered public lectures at Israeli and Palestinian universities as the guest of the British embassy in Tel Aviv. At the time, he said he was "looking forward to coming out to Israel and the Palestinian territoriesand excited about meeting both Israeli and Palestinian scientists".

Since then, his attitude to Israel appears to have hardened. In 2009, Hawking denounced Israel's three-week attack on Gaza, telling Riz Khan on Al-Jazeera that Israel's response to rocket fire from Gaza was "plain out of proportion … The situation is like that of South Africa before 1990 and cannot continue."

Israel Maimon, chairman of the presidential conference said: "This decision is outrageous and wrong.

"The use of an academic boycott against Israel is outrageous and improper, particularly for those to whom the spirit of liberty is the basis of the human and academic mission. Israel is a democracy in which everyone can express their opinion, whatever it may be. A boycott decision is incompatible with open democratic discourse."

In 2011, the Israeli parliament passed a law making a boycott call by an individual or organisation a civil offence which can result in compensation liable to be paid regardless of actual damage caused. It defined a boycott as "deliberately avoiding economic, cultural or academic ties with another person or another factor only because of his ties with the State of Israel, one of its institutions or an area under its control, in such a way that may cause economic, cultural or academic damage".

• This article was amended on 8 May 2013. The original described Hawking as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He stepped down in 2009.

Nazi crimes: Poland from 1939 to 1945: The Jewish Police

http://niemieckiezbrodnie39-45.blogspot.com/2013/04/zydowska-policja-porzadkowa.html

Nazi crimes: Poland from 1939 to 1945: The Jewish Police.



Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst - Żydowska Służba Porządkowa - Jewish Order Service (Jewish Police) - Service d'Ordre Juif (Police Juive).

Organised by the Judenrat (Jewish Councils) and used in collaboration with Nazis forces inside of jewish ghettos, labour camps and concentration camps. They cooperated with Nazis in requisitions, raids, escorts of prisoners, of deportees and in deportation actions.

Créés par les Conseils Juifs et utilisés en collaboration avec les forces nazies à l'intérieur des ghettos, des camps de travail et des camps de concentration. Coopérant avec les Nazis lors des réquisitions, rafles, transferts de prisonniers et déportés ainsi que lors d'actions de déportations massives.

Since December 1940, its first Chief within the Warsaw's ghetto was Joseph Andrew Szerynski. A Polish jew who changed his name from Szenkman (or Szynkman or Szeinkman) into Szerynski. He was very known for his deep, great anti-semitism and is shown as an example of "full of hatred towards Jews", his own brothers and sisters in faith.

A partir de décembre 1940, son premier chef pour le Ghetto de Varsovie est Joseph André Szerynski. C'est un juif polonais ayant changé son nom de Szenkman (ou Szynkman ou bien encore Szeinkman) en Szerynski. Il était connu pour son fort et profond antisémitisme et servit d' "exemple même du haineux anti-juif par excellence" envers ses propres co-religionnaires.

The Historian Raul Hilberg's researches show that inside of Warsaw's ghetto 2,500 jewish Policemen worked. Their Chief was Joseph Andrew Szerynski. His Assistant was Jacob Lejkin (Leykin). Inside of Lodz ghetto worked 1,200 jewish Policemen and in Lvov/Lwow Ghetto (today Lviv, Ukraine) have worked 500 jewish Policemen from the Ordnungsdienst.

L'historien Raul Hilberg démontre à travers ses recherches que 2 500 hommes de la Police Juive étaient en service au sein du Ghetto de Varsovie. Leur chef était Joseph André Szerynski, son assistant Jacob Lejkin/Leykin. Dans le ghetto de Lodz, 1 200 hommes de la Police Juive et dans le ghetto de Lwow/Lvov (Lviv aujourd'hui, en Ukraine) 500 policiers juifs de l'Ordnungsdienst.

Anatol Chari, a former member of this Jewish Police Service, describes his work in escorting of food, protecting of food reserves, controlling of bakery workers, patrols, visits and home's food confiscations. He describes too how the jewish policemen took part in crooking, management and in hiding of food for themselves, in sex abuses and sexual relationships for food or in preparation of transports to the camps.

Anatole Chari, un ex-membre de la Police Juive décrit son travail quotidien: escorte et accompagnement des transports alimentaires, protection des réserves et magasins alimentaires, contrôle des ouvriers dans les boulangeries, patrouilles et visites à domicile et confiscation de la nourritures chez les particuliers, escroqueries commises par la Police Juive dans le détournement de la nourriture destinée à la population pour ses propres hommes, abus sexuels ou viols contre la nourriture ou bien la préparation des convois vers les camps.

Agents of this Jewish Police were young men, all volunteers, who served inside of the ghetto as support and supply forces to the German soldiers in controls, patrols and as entrance guards within the jewish sector. They were especially bad seen by the jewish population from the ghetto in times of troubles in several ghettos, because of their participation in the organisation of people deportations to the death camps.

Les agents de la Police Juive étaient des jeunes hommes, tous volontaires, qui servaient de force d'appui aux soldats allemands à l'intérieur des ghettos dans leur rôle de gardiens d'ordre et de gardes à l'entrée du secteur juif. Ils étaient particulièrement mal vus par la population juive lors de troubles ou révoltes organisés dans plusieurs ghettos, notamment par leur participation à l'organisation de convois de déportation des populations vers les camps de la mort.

Citations:

"The Jewish Police managed by the SS and Gendarmes pounced on the ghetto like wild animals. Each day, to save himself, each Jewish Policeman arrived with seven persons he has captured: friends, relatives, parents, cousins. Some of these Policemen, who have offered their old parents or grandparents, said to the Germans that "these persons will die quickly in any case".

"La Police Juive, dirigée par les SS et les Gendarmes se ruait sur le ghetto comme des animauw sauvages. Chaque jour, pour sauver sa propre peau, chaque Policier juif arrivait vers les Allemands avec sept personnes qu'il avait réussi à capturer: ses amis, ses proches, ses parents, grands-parents, ses cousins... Certains de ces Policiers, présentant leur proches âgés se justifiaient en disant: "de toute façon ils n'ont plus beaucoup de temps à vivre".

Bernard Goldstein. Five Years in the Warsaw Ghetto. Dolphin, Doubleday. New York, 1961).

"The Jewish Police had been very bad noticed by the population for its bad behaviour and practises even before its participation to the death transports organisation. Contrary to the Polish Police which didn't participate in raids to labour camp, the Jewish Police, asked for it. Highly and especially corrupted, vile and immoral, the Jewish Police reached the top level of cruelty participating in deportation process of their brothers and sisters in faith, sending them th the Death. But the Jewish Police has been prepared to this dirty and hard work. That is why it has been well and professionally realised. Now, we can ask ourselves how it could be possible ? What happened that the Jews, usually intelligent and clever people, often lawyers (a majority of officers were before the IIWW lawyers) took part in killing themselves their own brothers ?"

"La Police Juive avait une très mauvaise opinion parmi la population, et ce même bien avant sa participation lors des déportations. Contrairement à la Police Polonaise, laquelle ne prenait pas part lors de rafles pour les camps de travail, la Police Juive, elle, prenait part activement à ce travail rebutant. Très corrompue, immorale à souhait, elle à atteint le summum de cruauté lors de la phase de déportation. Personne ne s'est plaint dans ses rangs de ce travail sale, dégradant, consistant à mener vers la mort ses propres frères et sœurs. La Police Juive fût préparée à ce travail dans son âme et conscience. Il fût brillamment réalisé. Aujourd'hui, on essaie de répondre à la question: Comment est-ce que cela a pu se produire que des Juifs, gens cultivés, intelligents, avocats pour la plupart (une grande majorité parmi les officiers avant la Guerre étaient avocats) ont ils-pu mettre la main à la pâte pour conduire à la mort leurs propres frères ?"

Emanuel Ringelblum, "Chronique du ghetto de Varsovie/Chronicle of Warsaw's ghetto", with Artur Eisenbach, editions Czytelnik, Warszawa/Varsovie/Warsaw 1988, page 426.

"The Jewish Police gave proofs of its incomprehensible and savage brutality. Where came from this kind of hatred in our Polish Jews ? When have we brought up so many hundreds of killers, who kidnap children on the streets, who push them to the military lorries or to the Umschlag ?"

"La Police Juive a fait preuve d'une brutalité totalement incompréhensible et sauvage. D'où est venue cette haine chez nos Juifs polonais ? Quand et où avons-nous élevé ces plusieurs centaines de criminels, qui kidnappent des enfants dans la rue, qui les poussent dans des camions militaires ou bien vers les Umschlags ?"
