West Bank, (Pal Telegraph)- Israeli police allowed yesterday dozens of Jews to enter Al-Aqsa mosque in the occupied Jerusalem, restricting the movement of the Palestinian Jerusalemites.

Local sources told that, Israeli occupation forces completely isolated the city and intensified their security procedures by erecting a number of checkpoints as they were preparing to the Passover holiday which will remain for the 27th of this month..

Sources added that groups of Jews invaded the old town, harassed citizens , and vandalized their properties while they were heading to Al-Buraq courtyard to perform their rituals to mark the Passover day.

The Jews guarded by Israeli police passed from Al-Magharba gate and roamed the courtyards and squares of Al-Aqsa mosque, provoking Muslim prayers, according to witnesses .

Occupation police closed yesterday many streets of the old town, preventing citizens in and out of the area and allowed free movement to only vehicles that were carrying settlers .

Facebook hapus halaman intifada


Intifada facebook

Meski ditutup tetapi halaman serupa masih bermunculan di Facebook

Facebook menghapus sebuah halaman yang mengajak warga Palestina bangkit melawan Israel setelah lebih dari 350.000 orang ikut bergabung dalam halaman tersebut.

Halaman yang muncul di situs jejaring sosial tersebut bernama Third Palestinian Intifada. Halaman ini dihilangkan karena mengandung ajakan untuk melakukan kekerasan, demikian pernyataan seorang juru bicara Facebook.


Halaman The Third Palestinian Intifada mengajak sebuah aksi setelah shalat Jumat, 15 Mei mendatang.

"Hari penghakiman akan membawa kami sebagai muslim untuk membunuh semua Yahudi,'' demikian kutipan dari ajakan di halaman tersebut.

Meski telah ditutup tetapi kantor berita AFP melaporkan kalau sudah ada tiga halaman baru yang serupa muncul di Facebook dengan lebih dari 7.000 orang telah bergabung di dalamnya.

Facebook menyatakan halaman itu sebelumnya hanya berisi ajakan untuk mengadakan aksi damai, meski menggunakan istilah "intifada" yang berarti pemberontakan dengan kekerasan.

"Tetapi belakangan banyak komentar yang justru mengajak untuk melakukan kekerasan,'' kata Andrew Noyes, juru bicara Facebook.

Sebelumnya Israel mengungkapkan kekhawatiran atas keberadaan halaman itu dengan pernyataan kalau Facebook membantu penyebaran aksi protes di negara-negara Arab.

Dalam sebuah surat kepada pendiri Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, Menteri Informasi Israel Yuli Edelstein mengatakan halaman tersebut mengandung "hasutan yang liar'' dengan ajakan membunuh Yahudi dan membicarakan soal ''pembebasan'' Yerusalem melalui kekerasan.

"Saya meminta Zuckerberg kalau garis batas antara kebebasan berekspresi dan hasutan dan kekerasan jangan sampai terlampaui,'' katanya.

Demetri Deliani, seorang anggota partai Fatah Palestina, mengejek permintaan Israel tersebut.

"Sepertinya Menteri Yuli Edelstein perlu belajar lagi dalam hal hak asasi manusia dan kebebebasan berekspresi karena dia tidak tahu mengenai penghormatan bagi opini setiap orang di dunia,'' katanya kepada kantor berita Palestina, Wafa.

US may recognize Palestinian state

After five Latin American countries recognized a Palestinian state, Israeli Labor Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer warns that Washington may do the same.
A top Israeli official says the United States may soon join other countries that have formally recognized an independent Palestinian state, if Tel Aviv continues to stall the peace process.


Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer declared Sunday that Israel's very existence depends on the renewal of the Middle East negotiations.

During a meeting with cabinet ministers on Sunday, Ben-Eliezer stressed that Israel should do "everything possible" to restart dialogue with Palestinians, even if it consists of a settlement freeze for just "a few months."

"I wouldn't be surprised if within one year the whole world supports a Palestinian state, including the United States. Then we'll ask where we were and what we were doing," the senior official said.

The warning comes a day after Ecuador joined four other South American countries to formally recognize Palestine as a free and independent state with 1967 borders.

Earlier this month, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay had done the same.

Israel has protested the recent recognitions, claiming that the move is against the spirit of the Mideast talks.

Tel Aviv accuses the Latin American nations of ignoring the 2003 Middle East roadmap for peace, which says that a Palestinian state could be established through dialogue, but not through unilateral measures.

On December 15, the US House of Representatives followed Israel's suit in denouncing the action and unanimously approved a resolution opposing unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state.

The resolution urged the White House to "deny recognition to any unilaterally declared Palestinian state and veto any resolution by the United Nations Security Council to establish or recognize a Palestinian state outside of an agreement negotiated by the two parties."

This is while the international community widely backs Palestinian demands for a state in most of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) -- all territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War.

The recent developments come nearly three months after Tel Aviv announced that it would not halt its plan for constructing over 1,300 new settler units in East al-Quds and a further 800 units in the northern occupied West Bank.

The resumption of the illegal construction work put a halt to direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which began in early September after a 20-month break.

The Palestinians say that the settlement activities are being carried out to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East al-Quds as its future capital.
