	A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,  we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter,  and our tongue with singing:  then said they among the heathen,  The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us;  [whereof] we are glad. Turn again our captivity , O LORD,  as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall  reap in joy. He that goeth forth  and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him]. Psalm 126

Bush: 'enough is enough', Guardian, April 4, 2002  "We keep hearing about more suicide bombings going on. This in it self is horrifying, and I keep asking myself what is the difference between state organized terrorism and individual terrorism. The answer that keeps coming up is what my Government keeps repeating. Israeli state organized terrorism is defined by the US as self-defense; individuals protesting occupation are called terrorists. I say it is all Terrorism! We have to stop pretending that one sort of terrorism is good and the other is bad. To kill a civilian is to kill civilian, but there is a big difference when the killing is supported by a state.     The truth is the Israeli State organized terrorism and the occupation is breading the individual terrorist.  Maha Sbitani, An American, Ramallah – Next to Yasser Arafats compound    Latest news at NewsNow http://www.newsnow.co.uk/cgi/NewsNow/NewsLink.News.htm?Theme=Israel&ColourScheme= http://www.haaretzdaily.com/  <==  Click: News Flashes http://www.miftah.org/  <==  Click: Breaking News Media Monitors Network - Latest news Israel http://interestalert.com/remote/siteia/morenews.shtml?

Blessings of peace, Phyllis Phyllis Turner Jepson, Director Pax Christi USA Local/Regional Group Development Office Email: paxwpb@gate.net Web: www.paxchristiusa.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 5, 2002 Pax Christi USA Statement For Immediate Release End the Occupation:  End the Cycle of Destruction The terrible situation in Israel/Palestine this week is a bitter testimony to the utter failure of increased violence as a means to end violence.  Pax Christi USA unequivocally condemns the recent suicide bombings by Palestinians in Israel as well as the brutal escalation of violence against civilians in the Occupied Territories being carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces.  This cycle of violence must end.  Pax Christi USA stands in solidarity with those on both sides of the conflict who have rejected the destructive and fruitless cycle of violence that now engulfs that land. In particular, we support the efforts of the Latin Patriarch in Jerusalem, Archbishop Michel Sabbah, President of Pax Christi International, and other religious leaders in the Holy Land who have offered to mediate an end to the standoff in Bethlehem.  We call upon the Israeli Defense Forces to allow this delegation of religious leaders access to Bethlehem in order to facilitate the evacuation of wounded civilians and negotiate a nonviolent resolution to the siege of the Church of the Nativity. Our prayers go with U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, as he travels to the region this week.  We are, however, deeply troubled by the U.S. position over the past 17 months that a cease-fire in the current conflict must precede efforts at a political settlement.  Moreover we are concerned over ongoing U.S. support for the Israeli occupation, support which sustains Israel’s ability to, as Pope John Paul II pointed out this week, impose “unjust conditions and humiliations” upon the more than 3 million Palestinian people living under occupation.  It is clear that Israel has engaged in widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure in the Occupied Territories, subjected civilians to round-the-clock curfews, denied them access to food, water and medical services and engaged in summary executions.  All these are grave violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention. U.S. financial aid and political support for Israeli activities in violation of international law must end.  The U.S. will never be an effective force for peace while it continues to support the forces of occupation. The occupation is itself an ongoing and pervasive violence perpetrated against all Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem. Secretary Powell’s efforts must include concrete U.S. commitments to end support for the occupation and full implementation of United Nations’ Security Council Resolutions 242. 338 and 1402.  Pax Christi USA calls upon the Administration and Congress to immediately restrict all U.S. military aid to Israel from being used in the Occupied Territories.  The United States cannot be a credible partner for peace while U.S. made weapons continue to be turned upon Palestinian civilians. Pax Christi USA affirms the call of Pope John Paul II for Sunday April 7th to be a Day of Prayer for Peace in the Middle East and urges all our members, supporters and friends to participate in a Chain of Prayer and Light from April 8-15 as called for by Pax Christi International. -30- Pax Christi USA is the national Catholic peace movement.  Its 14,000 members work for the transformation of society through nonviolence and advocates peacemaking as a priority in the Catholic Church in the United States.  The movement, headquartered in Erie, Pa., publishes peace education literature and develops ministry programs that promote justice for the sake of creating a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.  Peace Christi USA is a section of Pax Christi International, which is active in more than 30 countries.

Sharon's plan is re-occupy all the West Bank, and apparently kill Arafat, directly or with some other trick that we shall never know certainly what happened (the desicion was not to deport him because he can be dangerous outside...). Prof.Lev Grinberg ISRAEL'S STATE TERRORISM By Lev Grinberg * Director of the Humphrey Institute for Social Research at Ben Gurion University     What is the difference between State terrorism and individual terrorist acts? If we understand this difference we?ll understand also the evilness of the US policies in the Middle East and the forthcoming disasters. When Yassir Arafat was put under siege in his offices and kept hostage by the Israeli occupation forces, he was constantly pressed into condemning terror and combatting terrorism. Israel?s Stateterrorism is defined by US officials as "self-defense", while individual suicide bombers are called terrorists.     The only ?small? difference is that Israeli aggression is the direct responsibility of Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Ben Eliezer, Shimon Peres and Shaul Mofaz, while the individual terrorist acts are done by individuals in despair, usually against Arafat?s will. One hour after Arafat declared his support of a cease fire and wished the Jews a Happy Passover feast, a suicide bomber exploded himself in an hotel in Netanya, killing 22 innocent Jews celebrating Passover. Arafat was blamed as responsible for this act, and the present IDF offensive has been justified through this accusation.     At the same time, Sharon?s responsibility for Israeli war crimes is being completely ignored. Who should be arrested for the targeted killing of almost 100 Palestinians? Who will be sent to jail for the killing of more than 120 Palestinian paramedics? Who will be sentenced for the killing of more than 1,200 Palestinians and for the collective punishment of more than 3,000,000 civilians during the last 18 months? And who will face the International Tribunal for the illegal settlement of occupied Palestinian Lands, and the disobedience of UN decisions for more than 35 years?     Suicide bombs killing innocent citizens must be unequivocally condemned; they are immoral acts, and their perpetrators should be sent to jail. But they cannot be compared to State terrorism carried out by the Israeli Government. The former are individual acts of despair of a people that sees no future, vastly ignored by an unfair and distorted international public opinion. The latter are cold and "rational" decisions of a State and a military apparatus of occupation, well equipped, financed and backed by the only superpower in the world.     Yet in the public debate, State terrorism and individual suicide bombs are not even considered as comparable cases of terrorism. The State terror and war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli Government are legitimized as "self-defense", while Arafat, even under siege, is demanded to arrest "terrorists."     I want to ask: Who will arrest Sharon, the person directly responsible for the orders to kill Palestinians? When is he going to be defined a terrorist too? How long will the world ignore the Palestinian cry that all they want is freedom and independence? When will it stop neglecting the fact that the goal of the Israeli Government is not security, but the continued occupation and subjugation of the Palestinian people?     As Israelis in the opposition, we are fighting against our government, but the international support that Sharon receives is constantly jeopardizing our struggle. The whole international public opinion must be reverted, and the UN must deploy intervention forces in order to stop the bloodshed and the imminent deterioration. Israelis and Palestinians desperately need the awakening of the international community's public opinion and a reversal in the global attitude. These are needed both in order to save our lives (literally), and preserve our hope in a better future. * Dr. Lev Grinberg is a political sociologist, and Director of the Humphrey Institute for Social Research at Ben Gurion University © 2002 Tikkun Magazine.

Barghouthi, an internist at the hospital.     "They are now in control of the hospital."     Sources at the hospital said the Israeli occupation soldiers were interrogating terrified patients, some of whom are in serious condition.     The hospital administration appealed to the international community and medics around the world to exert pressure on the Israeli government to stop "this savagery."     "They are behaving like Nazis, yes like Nazis," said a Dutch volunteer paramedic.      Earlier, Israeli tanks stormed the main Ramallah hospital amid fierce non-violent resistance from medical teams and foreign volunteers who arrived in Ramallah in an effort to deter the Israeli army from perpetrating atrocities against the Palestinians.     The draconian measures, considered war crimes under international law, prompted Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to charge that Israel was treating the Palestinian people very much like the Nazis troops treated Jews during WWII.   Betreff: [AL-AWDA-News] Civilians and Medics Arrested  Datum: Sun, 31 Mar 2002 13:07:33 -0500     Von: Zahi Damuni <zdamuni@comcast.net>      An: Al-Awda News <Al-Awda-News@yahoogroups.com> From: Huwaida Arraf  Ten international civilians and three Palestinian medics have just been arrested and taken to the Beit El Israeli Military compound.

"This is a barbaric attack on a defenseless people, whose only wish is to live on the land of their forefathers," Apostolos Kaklamanis said. "The Greek people, the government, political parties and parliament condemn this genocide taking place in Palestine." Greece has backed calls by the European Union (news - web sites) for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the West Bank town of Ramallah and release from captivity of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites). Premier Costas Simitis, in a statement Sunday, said Greece has "close ties with the Israeli and Palestinian people" and offered to mediate in any peace initiative accepted by both sides. Foreign Minister George Papandreou hopes to visit Israel and Palestinian areas this week but may postpone the trip for security concerns, diplomatic officials said.
