Image via WikipediaAl-Walaja, population 2,000 is located just south of Jerusalem and west of Bethlehem. After the 1967 Six Day War, half the town was annexed to Israel and included the Jerusalem municipal area. The citizens though did not receive Israeli citizenship or residency, thus they are considered illegal within their own homes.
The Wall has come to Al-Walaja and when completed it will completely isolate the residents from everyone, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem and their land. Israel has confiscated half of the land planning to utilize it to build Har Gilo and Gilo settlements. Their fruit orchards have been cut down, their homes demolished and the areas to south and west have been closed off.

Time Magazine's Sneaky Way of Muffling the Message of an Afghan Peace Activist
http://www.alternet.org/world/146714/time_magazine%27s_sneaky_way_of_muffling_the_message_of_an_afghan_peace_activist
TIME has painted a false picture of me and does not mention anything at all about my struggle against the occupation of Afghanistan by the US and NATO, which is disgusting. In fact every one knows that I stand side-by-side with the glorious anti war movements around the world and have proved time and again that I will never compromise with the US And NATO who have occupied my country, empowered the most bloody enemies of my people and are killing my innocent compatriots in Afghanistan. What TIME did was like giving an award to someone with one hand and getting it back with another hand.

UCB students make history
Students at the University of California, Berkeley made history earlier this year by voting 16-4 to divest from two companies directly implicated in Israel’s occupation. The divestment campaign was supported by, among others, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Naomi Klein, Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky, Richard Falk and various Jewish and Israeli peace groups. This vote was then vetoed by the president of the student body (ASUC). After a marathon twelve hour debate, the student senate again voted in favour of the bill, but fell just short of the two-thirds majority required to override the veto. The bill was “tabled”, meaning it will come up for discussion again later in the semester.
