Palestinians have been killed and 250 others  have been

figures include some civilians, including women  and
children.

ONE-STATE SOLUTION "GAINING GROUND" UN ENVOY ADMITS 
By  Ali Abunimah, The ElectronicIntifada, 13 June 2007 

The one-state  solution for Palestine-Israel is "gaining
ground," a senior UN diplomat has  admitted in a leaked
confidential report. Recently retired UN special  envoy
Alvaro de Soto wrote "that the combination of  [Palestinian
Authority] institutional decline and Israeli  settlement
expansion is creating a growing conviction among
Palestinians  and Israeli Arabs, as well as some Jews on
the far left in Israel that the  two State solutiuon's best
days are behind it." EI cofounder Ali Abunimah  analyzes an
unreported aspect of De Soto's leaked end of mission
report.

Palestine:  Activism News: 

A VILLAGE MOBILIZED: LESSONS FROM BUDRUS 
By Ida  Audeh, The Electronic Intifada, 13 June 2007 

The story of the village of  Budrus is noteworthy because
it reminds us that unarmed people are not  powerless.
Confronted with an Israeli plan to confiscate 1,000 dunums
of  village lands to erect a wall that would ultimately
enclose area villages in  a canton, Budrus residents put
their bodies in front of the bulldozers that  came to raze
their farmlands. Unarmed, and abandoned to their fate by
the  increasingly useless and indifferent Palestinian
Authority, the villagers  quickly realized that the wall
would stifle the area and make their lives  unsustainable.
EI contributor Ida Audeh interviews Budrus resident  and
activist Abd al-Nasser Marrar.

Palestine:  Activism News: 

STUDENTS SIT-IN TO DEMAND TENURE FOR PALESTINE SUPPORTING  PROFESSORS 
By Matt Muchowski, The Electronic Intifada, 13 June 2007  

This morning, DePaul University students in Chicago began
the third  day of their sit-in at DePaul President Fr.
Holtschneider's office. The  students have spent two nights
sleeping in the office, a rally is to be held  today in
solidarity with them and it is possible that the  DePaul
University Faculty Council will pass a vote of no
confidence in the  president of the school. The students
are protesting the denial of tenure to  two professors who
are critical of the Israeli occupation as their  university
becomes a battleground for academic freedom. Matt
Muchowski  writes for EI.
