In
two weeks, a social forum will be held in Madrid that is devoted
entirely to the political situation in the Middle East. This Forum
for a Just Peace in the Middle East was organized by the social
movements of Madrid, including social organizations, solidarity
movements, human rights organizations, women’s groups and the trade
unions. More than 200 organizations were invited from Israel, the
Occupied Palestinian Territories and other places in West Asia. The
goal of the Forum is to conduct a deep and wide discussion on the
political situation in the region, the danger of the upcoming war and
also to speak about a joint strategy of struggle against occupation,
colonialism and war. In this sense, it is possible to define the
social forum of Madrid as anti-Annapolis. If the target of Annapolis
is Iran, and in a wider perspective the Muslim world, our own targets
in Madrid will be the neoconservative global war, the war of Ehud
Olmert and George Bush, and the ideology of the clash of
civilizations.

A cellular antenna was placed by one of the Israeli telephone companies
on the roof of a private house in the middle of a residential area. The local
residents decided to act in a way that they thought would best protect their
environment and health, and burned down the antenna. Nothing special about this.
It has happened many times before, and for years, the telephone companies have often
taken into consideration the citizens’ concerns and placed their antennas in a
manner that minimized the potential for harm to public health. That is, except
in Arab localities.

A few years ago, Ariel Sharon’s former adviser, Dov Weisglass, threatened to
impose “a diet” on the Palestinians, i.e. to organize a siege
aimed at making them hungry, while not completely starving them,
thereby creating distress while avoiding an outright humanitarian
crisis that would be likely provoke international intervention. The
reaction of the international community, however, obliged the Israeli
government to back off.
