Oh, what suffering the palestinians have to endure.
There’s the humiliating checkpoints..
Palestinian Interior Minister Hani Al-Qawasmi affirmed on Sunday that he would start practical steps towards implementing his new security plan, which the Palestinian cabinet ratified.
—-In a press conference held in Gaza City on Sunday evening, Al-Qawasmi explained that the plan would be gradually implemented through the massive deployment of domestic security forces in the central and northern Gaza Strip. Pedestrian and vehicular patrols would be deployed in addition to checkpoints in order to impose law and order and minimize the spread of arms in the streets
Police brutality..
Five Palestinian journalists were injured after being attacked by police guarding the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) building in Gaza.
The journalists were demonstrating against the abduction of BBC reporter Alan Johnston.
The police attacked the journalists with rifles and many sustained bruises. The journalists were forced to return to the strike tent in the centre of the city.
Ma’an’s reporter said that he and dozens others of his colleagues “were protesting and then were attacked by the police and obliged to return to the tent”.
Some other reporters confirmed the attack and said that the guards threatened to shoot the journalists if they continue their protest in the area.
And land grabs…
Dozens of Christian families from the Bethlehem area are about to discover that their homes and lands have been “sold” to Muslims without their knowledge, Palestinian Authority security officials said Thursday.
The officials told The Jerusalem Post that members of a local Muslim gang have been arrested on suspicion of stealing land and property registration documents from the Bethlehem Magistrate’s Court.
Bethlehem Governor Salah Ta’mari confirmed that an investigation was under way to determine who was behind the theft. He said most of the stolen documents belonged to families living abroad.
A Christian businessman told the Post that most of the victims were Christian families living in the US and Latin America. “They are stealing our homes almost every day,” he said. “We believe the suspects have been receiving help from some Palestinian security officers here.”
I suggest a boycott of their goods. Only problem is, what industries have they built up, besides the civilian-killing one?
