PALESTINE : HUMAN RIGHTS:
ISRAELI GUNBOATS KIDNAP GAZA FISHERMAN, PEACEWORKERS
By Eva Bartlett, The Electronic Intifada, 21 November 2008
On the evening of Tuesday 18 November Khalid al-Habeel sat
surrounded by his wife, family, and other concerned
fishermen. Until the early hours of the following day,
they had no idea what charges were being laid against 15
fishermen, including two of al-Habeel's sons, Adham (21)
and Mohammed (20), after they were nabbed from Gaza's
territorial waters earlier that morning and taken to an
Israeli interrogation center at Ashdod port. Nor did they
know when or if their boats -- their livelihoods -- would
be returned. Eva Bartlett reports.

PALESTINE : DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE:
GAZA'S HOSPITALS STRUGGLE TO SAVE LIVES AMID ISRAELI SIEGE
Rami Almeghari writing from occupied Gaza Strip, Live from
Palestine, 21 November 2008
Over the past two weeks, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip
have faced a sharply deteriorating humanitarian situation
as Israel further tightened its closure of the border
crossings. Virtually no food, medicine or other vital
supplies have been allowed in to the territory that is
home to 1.5 million people. Despite desperately needed
medication, equipment, supplies, and spare parts, doctors
continue to try to save lives and look after their
patients at the European Gaza Hospital. Rami Almeghari
reports from Gaza.

PALESTINE : ACTIVISM NEWS:
"SHIMON PERES, YOU'RE A WAR CRIMINAL!" SAY OXFORD STUDENTS
Abigail Humphries, The Electronic Intifada, 21 November
2008
Text messages came from student protestors who had managed
to get inside the lecture hall. They let the their fellow
demonstrators outside know that their chanting could be
heard inside over the voice of Israeli President Shimon
Peres. There was clapping and stamping of feet and
placards banged on the railings to make as much noise as
possible, along with the constant "Free, free Palestine"
which did not stop for a moment of the hour-long lecture.
Abigail Humphries reports from Oxford.

PALESTINE : HUMAN RIGHTS:
ONLY FEEBLE PROTEST OVER FAMILY'S EVICTION
By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 21 November
2008
The middle-of-the-night eviction last week of an elderly
Palestinian couple from their home in East Jerusalem to
make way for Jewish settlers is a demonstration of Israeli
intent towards a future peace deal with the Palestinians.
Mohammed and Fawziya Khurd are now on the street, living
in a tent, after Israeli police enforced a court order
issued in July to expel them. Jonathan Cook analyzes.
