Israeli forces fire at deportees approaching Gaza crossing
Ma’an – 04/05/2010
Gaza – Israeli forces reportedly opened fire at two recently deported Palestinians attempting to transit through the Erez crossing, in northern Gaza on Tuesday.
The pair said they were attempting to return to the West Bank after having been deported last week in accordance with an Israeli military order defining them as “infiltrators.”
Ahmad Auda Abu Shallouf said he was trying to reunite with his wife and four children. “I am ready to stand trial in an Israeli court. Let them try to prove that I represent a threat to Israel’s security but if they fail, let them shoot me dead and send me back to my children,” he said. The second deportee, Muhammad Sha’ban, said his family “desperately” needed him and he wished to return to them.
An Israeli military spokeswoman told Ma’an that Israeli forces “identified a number of suspects” approaching near the Erez crossing and “acted in order to distance [them].” The representative said warning shots were fired, and that the army is not aware of any damage or injury caused during the incident.
Israel maintains a buffer zone along the Gaza border, to which Palestinian access is forbidden. The no-go zone is the site of weekly protests against the confiscation of an estimated 30 percent of arable land.
Both deportees are married to Palestinian women with Israeli citizenship.
On 13 April, Israel’s expanded definition of an “infiltrator” took effect under military order number 1650. The new order defines any and all persons residing in the West Bank without Israeli permission as “infiltrators” who can be removed without court proceedings. Since the order was implemented, four Palestinians with identity cards registered in Gaza were taken from their homes, the streets, or hospitals, and expelled to the Gaza Strip.
At least one man successfully appealed the move and was returned to his family in the Palestinian town of Yaffa, inside Israel’s Tel Aviv. A Beersheba man and a freed prisoner from Tulkarem were also expelled.
The Hamas government has refused entry of the men into Gaza, saying deportation is not an option, and that they should be returned to their families.

The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truth
By Alan Hart | June 4, 2012
In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations). Until the 1967 war, and with the exception of a minority of who were politically active, most non-Israeli Jews did not have – how can I put it? – a great empathy with Zionism’s child. Israel was there and, in the sub-consciousness, a refuge of last resort; but the Jewish nationalism it represented had not generated the overtly enthusiastic support of the Jews of the world. The Jews of Israel were in their chosen place and the Jews of the world were in their chosen places. There was not, so to speak, a great feeling of togetherness. At a point David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father and first prime minister, was so disillusioned by the indifference of world Jewry that he went public with his criticism – not enough Jews were coming to live in Israel.
So how and why did the 1967 war transform the relationship between the Jews of the world and Israel? … continue
