Special report about the killing of tunnel workers AOHR 7-1-2010
Away from eye witnesses In the name of sovereignty, the Egyptian government sprays poisonous gas to hunt for and kill tunnel workers on the border with the Gaza Strip

Summary

Of the 265 kilometers, which is the length of the borders between Egypt and Palestine (1), the Egyptian government is taking strict measures along 10 km only, which is the length of borders between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, under the pretext of protecting Egyptian national security. They claim that the measures taken on the border are non-negotiable sovereignty measures. Meanwhile, throughout the remaining 255 km, Egypt cannot move a rock without taking permission from the Israeli government. In addition, it cannot practice that same policy at the Gaza Strip borders expect to implement practices approved by the Israeli government in order to confront African immigrants, about whom we’ll mention later.

Special Report - Egyptian government infected by mad Israeli wall disease

The UK-based Arab Organization for Human Rights (AOHR) confirms that the Egyptian government have started to build a steel wall along the Philadelphia route and that approximately 5.4 kilometres have already been completed under Franco-American-Israeli supervision. This extraordinary wall has no justification whatsoever and will deepen the humanitarian crisis affecting more than 80% of the population of the Gaza Strip who live below the poverty line.

The AOHR believes that the Egyptian border at Rafah has become a centre for foreign intelligence services which are supervising the construction of the steel wall and the surveillance equipment that is going to be used to monitor the border with Gaza. Foreign intelligence agents will guide and train their Egyptian counterparts in order to tighten the blockade against the Palestinians of Gaza.

Introduction 'From Beirut to Jerusalem' 2009
The Wounds of Gaza
By Dr Ang Swee Chai
I returned to Gaza in January 2009 when it sustained the worst attack since the Six Day war in 1967.  The Christmas week of 2008 was rudely interrupted by shocking scenes of Gaza being bombed by land, air and sea.  In just three short weeks, 1,400 Palestinians were killed, nearly half of them children.  In this tiny part of Occupied Palestine, there were 5,450 casualties, severe enough to require operations; many remain in a critical state today.  Over 21,000 homes were destroyed, 4,000 of which were flattened to rubble by the deployment of implosion bombs.  Other buildings were not spared - 40 mosques, hospitals, clinics, schools, even United Nations ware-houses.  The scale of attacks matched that meted out to the Lebanon in 1982, or indeed, during the 2006 invasion, with similar intensity, ferocity and breaches of international law.

To mark the 61st anniversary of international human rights day (following the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 10th December 1948) The Middle East Monitor (MEMO) once again highlights the issue of human rights abuses by the Western backed Palestinian Authority in the Occupied West Bank. Despite concerns raised by MEMO and several respected human rights organisations this exclusive account from our West Bank correspondent Khalid Amayreh confirms these practices still persist. The US Security Coordinator in the territories General Keith Dayton and EU Police Corps have previously denied the involvement of the civil police in the abuse; noting that these may have taken place at the hands of the security and intelligence apparatus.

This story raises more disturbing questions about EU and British support, tacit or otherwise, for the actions of the Ramallah authority.
