On Monday, 19 November 2012, security forces killed Hamdi al-Fallah, age 22, during clashes in the area of the Halhul-Hebron bridge on Route 35. He was hit with four live bullets to the chest, arm and leg.

A 14 year old boy was wounded in the head by a direct hit from a teargas canister fired by a border policeman in Hebron on 18 November 2012. The injury fractured his skull. On his hospitalization at al-Ahli hospital in Hebron, his condition was noted as clinical death.

A 20 year old man from Bethlehem is hospitalized in al-Ahli hospital in Hebron suffering from a fractured skull and cerebral hemorrhaging.

Human Rights Award:
Administrative detention is implemented solely on the basis of an administrative order, without either indictment or trial. Due to the substantial injury to due process inherent in this measure, international law stipulates that it may be exercised only in very exceptional cases – and then only as a last possible resort, when there are no other means available to prevent the danger. Nevertheless, Israeli authorities routinely employ administrative detention. Over the years, thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli custody as administrative detainees for extended periods of time.

So what when it took place? That excuses it does it? Why don't you use one of your dull little fish emoticons (oh, you have)and point out that actually the Palestinians asked to have their bones broken as it was all part of 'Pallywood' or some such nonsense.

Yitzhak Rabin is remembered as someone who instructed soldiers to break Palestinian arms and legs, when Palestinians began their popular uprising against the Israeli occupation in 1987. Wow, great. What's the ratio on that one then? Group of soldiers; tied, bound and seated Palestinians, rocks and boulders used by soldiers to smash bones. What's the 'human rights' ratio on that one then?

this is one of three homes left (i think about 1940) to the hebrew university in the will of their jewish owner, and now sold by the university

three arab families squatted in those homes, of which two came to an agreement to leave (presumably with some compensation), and the third (the natshehs) fought it through the courts

this young family claimed that members of their family had had possession since the 1940s, but were not able to produce any evidence to support that claim, and the court ruled that they were squatters, and granted an eviction order, suspended for a year, see http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/first-palestinian-family-evicted-fr...

therezia's comments on the accompanying tweets were "In case they delete this THIS IS ON OCCUPY WALL STREET'S FACEBOOK" and "what the **** is wrong with people lately?"

harvey, there are anti-racist websites which expose anti-semitism by re-publishing anti-semitic cartoons

this can be an valuable resource against people who don't believe there's anti-semitism in certain media

in this case, jessica nero claimed to expose the anti-semitism in the occupy-wall-street movement

if you ask "but then why didn't she just link to the ows facebook page, instead of re-publishing their cartoon?",

the answer is the one she gave at the time … ows could just remove the cartoon, and then there'd be no proof of their anti-semitism

harvey, i agree this could just be an excuse, but i'm not following why you say it is

(and yes, i know jessica nero is one of the ahava convicts, but that doesn't of itself mean she approves of anti-semitic cartoons)

Yes it is a pity that I have to play realist against your commendable Devils Advocate but that is what it comes down to .
Nero is a militant anti capitalist and anarchist . As such she would support the OWS objectives and means . There is no mention of the intrinsic racist nature of the cartoon as an attack on Jewish people per se . Instead there is anger -WTF - that OWS have been careless to post an overtly antisemitic image thereby harming the cause
Here are several of the original tweets which have been screen saved , also in case they are removed .

Here she mentions OWS alluding to a fake account .

what do the ows objectives and means have to do with anti-semitic cartoons?
in fact, what do "militant anti capitalism and anarchism" have to do with anti-semitic cartoons?

By ' objectives and means ' I refer to their general cause of anti capitalism and not the bolt on exemplified by the antisemitic cartoon . I mention it as it is evident that Nero , a militant anti capitalist would be supportive of the OWS movement and would be concerned that the cartoon would damage the cause . This is similar to Greenstein holding a PSC vote to oust an antisemite . Not because he's an antisemite but because it harms the cause .

9:46 p.m. Tue, Oct 23: What the **** is wrong with people lately?

(and the first tweet does seem to criticise "the intrinsic racist nature of the cartoon as an attack on Jewish people per se")

And unfortunately I see nothing to suggest her concern relates to the intrinsic antisemitism of the cartoon as relates to Jewish people so we have an impasse out of our differing interpretation of the tweet . That's fine . Perhaps I've been round the block with these people a little more often which heightens ones sensitivities .

I haven't alleged any previous behaviour which doesn't mean it does not exist , only that I'm unaware . As for the other references , I cite them as a evidence of a pattern of an emerging and widespread pattern . See HP archives .

As for the quip Girl Cry wolf , it was simply a means of suggesting I could be wrong ( doubtful ) in which case Nero is the victim of the repeated exposee of BDS embedded antisemitism .

Let me try once again and that will be it .

This link provides tweets 1-4 which were posted on the 23rd October .
However the first tweet is a response on the 6th January to Foxtrot and is the first and only time Nero mentions the antisemitic context of the OWS cartoon . In that tweet she also refers Foxtrot to the original 4 tweets 1-4 none of which mention the antisemitic context .

That is why Brighton against BDS and Foxtrot were on her case .
The disapproval of the antisemitic element of the cartoon only appeared a few days ago .

If Nero disapproved of the antisemitic context she should have said it loud and clear at the time
Here are two of the original tweets

https://mobile.twitter.com/ThereziaCooper/status/260829612500717568

And yes I have seen the original twitter stream . It started on the 23rd October .
The two tweets above are copied from that .
If you still fail to accept I suggest you take the time to scroll back yourself as I did .

The faux concern regarding the antisemitic aspect is a bolt on tweet on the 6th Jan

I will not be replying to any further comments on the subject .

on the contrary, her october 23rd tweet does appear to be a criticism of "the intrinsic racist nature of the cartoon as an attack on Jewish people per se" …

yes, it's short and pithy (and doesn't use any latin), rather than your ideal "loud and clear", but i don't see how you can read it as anything other than an expression of despair or disgust at the cartoon

nor have you alleged any previous behaviour by her that might displace this obvious reading …
