Campaign: A message from Moira Jilani

By Moira Jilani

22 May 2012 | Killing Without Consequence

My beloved husband, Ziad Jilani, was executed by Israeli Border Policeman, Maxim Vinogradov on June 11, 2010. There is undeniable evidence that my husband was lying unarmed and wounded on the ground, posing no threat when Israeli Border Policeman Maxim Vinogradov shot him point blank in the head. Despite the multiple contradictions, revisions and blatant lies in the testimony of the soldier who killed him, exposed by the autopsy, the Israeli authorities have closed the case against Maxim Vinogradov and his commander Shadi Kheir Al-Din.

May 19, 2012 | Killing Without Consequence
Killing Without Consequence is a campaign to press criminal charges against Israeli Border policeman Maxim Vinagrodov who executed Palestinian Ziad Jilani on June 11, 2010. In January 2011, the case against Vinagrodov was closed despite forensic evidence and eye witness reports.
Watch the video:

If the Israeli government is pressured to charge Vinagrodov, it will demonstrate to other soldiers that there are consequences for killing Palestinians. To help demand justice for the actions of Israeli soldiers, sign the petition. On July 11th, participate in … Continue reading

Nakba anniversary message

Posted on: May 16, 2012

by Mazin Qumsiyeh

15 May 2012 | Popular Resistance

 On this 64th anniversary of the Nakba we mourn the ethnic cleansing that began in 1948 and that continues today with silent transfer, home demolitions, land confiscation and more.  But we also celebrate an amazing resilience and success of the Palestinian endogenous people against incredible odds:

-We just celebrated the success of a hunger strike by over 1600 political prisoners despite attempts to stifle the story in Zionist dominated Western media. They succeeded in achieving a part of their basic rights including receiving family visits and ending solitary confinement.

-We are 11.5 million … Continue reading

What Thaer Halahleh’s family told me about his release brings joy, but raises troubling questions

Posted on: May 15, 2012

by Lina Al Saafin

15 May 2012 | Electronic Intifada

At around 1:30am Palestine local time I was lying on my side in my bed trying to sleep and doing my best to ignore the queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach as I thought about how the 64th commemoration of Nakba Day would pan out.

My phone suddenly vibrated jarringly. I grabbed it and the name of the last person I expected to call me was flashing on the screen: Abu Thaer Halahleh, the father of Palestinian hunger striker Thaer Halahleh. I immediately answered.

What I learned in the conversation was a … Continue reading

Thaer Halahleh: “My Beloved Lamar…Forgive me”

Posted on: May 13, 2012

13 May 2012 

“My Beloved Lamar, forgive me because the occupation took me away from you, and took away from me the pleasure of witnessing my firstborn child that I have always prayed to God to see, to kiss, to be happy with. It is not your fault; this is our destiny as Palestinian people to have our lives and the lives of our children taken away from us, to be apart from each other and to have a miserable life. Nothing is complete in our lives because of this unjust occupation that is lurking on every corner of our lives … Continue reading
