It is easy to overlook the Palestinian town
of Yanoun, southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank. With a
population only nine families, roughly one-hundred inhabitants and a
small cluster of old houses in the middle of a deep valley, it is not
hard to miss. Yet town has a rich history and breathtaking beauty.
Perhaps that’s why settlers have chosen to set up on the hilltops
surrounding the village and attempted to force the residents out.

It is clear that without the respect for and
implementation of international law by the international community, Israeli
violations will continue with impunity, as they have for decades. Numerous UN
General Assembly and Security Council resolutions pertaining to the OPT, and a
proliferation of special committees, sessions and Secretariat divisions and
units, have had little meaningful effect on Israeli policies and have failed to
ensure the fundamental rights of Palestinians. Accordingly, we call upon the UN, as an organisation whose Charter has amongst its
primary purposes the protection and promotion of human rights and fundamental
freedoms, to take effective steps to protect the rights of the Palestinian
people.

In the first week of June
the bosses of the eight most economically powerful nations of the world will meet
for a nice cup of tea in the German resort of Heiligendamm, close to Rostock. To guarantee the security
of the cozy meeting, the place will be surrounded by a security fence 2 1/2
meters high, one meter deep into the ground, and 13 kilometers long, using 12.5
million Euros worth of barbed wire and cement. Just like the rich in the
metropolises of the world, like the exploiting North against the exploited
South, like the US-occupant in Baghdad, like the Israeli occupation in
Palestine—in the era of neoliberal capitalism, oppression needs walls and
fences, racist laws and ethnic cleansing, discourses of exclusion and
"clashes of civilizations" in order to defend itself.
