Soldiers gather children in Hebron neighborhood, photograph them and release them - B`Tselem - "On Tuesday, 24 May 2016, at around 7:30 P.M., several dozen soldiers came to the Jaber neighborhood in Hebron. [...] Testimonies given to B’Tselem [...] indicate that the soldiers passed through the neighborhood, gathering, seemingly at random, some twenty children and teens from the streets. The soldiers had them stand against a wall and began questioning them about an incident that occurred in the area earlier that day, in which stones were thrown at an Israeli bus. They then took a photo of every child and teen using a mobile phone and released them. B’Tselem obtained the details of fourteen of these minors, seven of whom are under the age of twelve – the cutoff age for criminal liability" >>>

Ayelet Waldman is going to change the American Jewish relationship to Israel - Yakov Hirsch - Palestinian laborers at Tarqumiya crossing, photo by Emil Salman in Haaretz accompanying article on Ayelet Waldman Palestinian laborers at Tarqumiya crossing, photo by Emil Salman in Haaretz accompanying article on Ayelet Waldman

The writer Ayelet Waldman and her husband novelist Michael Chabon have gotten a lot of attention for their outcry against the occupation in the Israeli press, the English press, the anti-Zionist press, the Iranian press, and the Zionist press. But they haven’t gotten much attention from the US mainstream. That is sure to change.

Haaretz has published a big piece on their forthcoming book project about the occupation. “The power couple of American literature wants to save Israel from itself. ” Waldman and Chabon have enlisted a group of “world-famous writers to document life under occupation.”

In that article, Waldman says things about Israel that for an American Jew are combative and rare. Born in Israel, she went back there for a writers’ festival in 2014 and needed to see the occupation for her conscience’s sake. She went on a Breaking the Silence tour of Hebron. And what she saw with her own eyes changed her life >>>

Attacks on BDS websites linked to Israel - Ali Abunimah - New evidence indicates Israel may be directly involved in attacks on the websites of the Palestinian BDS National Committee and other organizations supporting Palestinian rights.

The report came just days after a senior Israel lobby official indicated that Israel’s previously announced plans to fight the growing boycott, divestment and sanctions movement online were already being implemented.

The nonprofit online security service eQualit.ie analzyed six major attacks on the bdsmovement.net website in February and March this year.

These distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks involve flooding a website with traffic generated by botnets, overwhelming the site and making it inaccessible to legitimate users. Such attacks can last hours or sometimes days.

“Attackers build networks of infected computers, known as ‘botnets,’ by spreading malicious software through emails, websites and social media,” according to Digital Attack Map, a Google-sponsored project that tracks DDoS attacks. “Once infected, these machines can be controlled remotely, without their owners’ knowledge, and used like an army to launch an attack against any target.” >>>
