THE WRITING ON THE WALL
By Miko Peled, The Electronic  Intifada, 12 June 2007 

Jamil Hilal's book Where Now for Palestine, the  Demise of
the Two State Solution is like the biblical Daniel
interpreting  the writing on the wall. Thorough and
compelling, this book contains eleven  illuminating essays
with razor sharp analysis on the current state of  the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the demise of the
two-state solution.  "The policy imperatives of political
Zionism have been oriented towards  occupying land with no,
or the minimum of, Palestinians." Hilal writes.  EI
contributor Miko Peled reviews.

Palestine:  Human Rights: 

GAZA BATTLES KILL 21, INJURE 150
Report, PCHR, 12 June  2007 

For the third consecutive day, Gaza City has  witnessed
unjustifiable violent internal fighting, and an atmosphere
of  tension has spread over Gaza that is not less violent
than that which has  spread as a result of the offensive
that has been launched by Israeli  Occupation Forces for
nearly a month. Since Monday evening, violence  has
extended to most areas in the Gaza Strip from the north to
the south,  and militants have deployed in the streets, at
the entrances of towns and  near governmental headquarters
and security compounds.

UNICEF ESTIMATES 20,000 CHILDREN AFFECTED BY  CONFLICT IN CAMP 
Report, Electronic Lebanon, 12 June 2007 

BADDAWI  CAMP, 11 June 2007 (IRIN) - Seven-year-old Omar
Mohammed Mallas may pretend  the bombs and bullets that
slammed into his home from the clashes outside did  not
scare him much, but spend a little time with the young
resident of  north Lebanon's besieged Nahr al-Bared
Palestinian refugee camp, and he  quietly confesses his
fears. "I saw the tanks and heard the explosions and  I
told my Mum: 'Let's get out of here.' On the way I found a
piece of  shrapnel that I liked but I've lost it now. I'm
really looking forward to  going home," said Omar.

Palestine:  Human Rights: Testimony: 

MAN USED AS HUMAN SHIELD INJURED IN JENIN CAMP  
Report, B'Tselem, 11 June 2007 

I am a student at An-Najah University  and live with my
family in the entrance of the Jenin refugee camp. I  was
studying for my final exams on Tuesday, 15 May 2007 around
1:30am when  I heard military vehicles coming into the
neighborhood and parking in front  of our house. The
soldiers called to us on loudspeakers to leave the  house.
One of the vehicles stopped before our entrance, lighting
up the  house -- I understood that the soldiers meant for
us to leave. I went into my  parents' room and found them
awake. I went to the front door and opened it,  and the
soldiers ordered everyone in the house to come out.

PRESSURE MOUNTS ON ISRAEL'S ARCHITECTS 
By  Susannah Tarbush, The Electronic Intifada, 10 June 2007 

Just days before  5 June's 40th anniversary of the start of
the June 1967 war, some of the  biggest names in British
architecture signed a petition calling on  Israeli
architects and their fellow professionals to stop
participating in  the creation of "facts on the ground",
which obliterate the idea of a viable  future Palestinian
state. Susannah Tarbush follows the controversy that  has
surrounded the London-based Architects and Planners for
Justice in  Palestine's efforts to hold accountable their
Israeli peers' involvement in  projects that make them
complicit in the violation of Palestinians'  rights.
