Research indicates that, since the abduction of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, on 25 June
2006, Israel has forbidden
boats, including fishing boats, to sail off the Gaza coast. The prohibition has struck a
severe blow to the fishing sector, which provides a livelihood for tens of
thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip. Lacking other means of employment,
and despite the Israeli navy’s patrol of the coast and occasional shooting at
Palestinian fishermen, some fishermen have risked their lives and violated the
prohibition.

summit meeting in Jerusalem on Monday from a promising event into a missed

The application of an Arab
couple, Fatina Ebriq and Ahmed Zubeidat, to live in the community town of Rakefet in the Misgav area of the Galilee
was refused in March 2006 by the regional selection committee. Selection

Pollack said in his plea, “This trial—if it wasn’t administered
by a court of the occupation, in the only democracy in the world in which 3.5
million citizens are homeless—was supposed to be a trial of the [separation]
