Lebanon :  Opinion/Editorial:

WHAT'S NEXT FOR NAHR AL-BARED
By Jamal Ghosn,  Electronic Lebanon, Sep 6, 2007

Victory celebrations are dominating the  Lebanese airwaves
for the foreseeable future and presidential  election
"campaigns" here are in full swing. The issue of
reconstructing  the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp will never
see the light of day in any of the  Lebanese media outlets,
whether pro-government or opposition -- just like  the
humanitarian crisis at Baddawi refugee camp has failed to
capture any  front page headlines over the past three
months. Jamal Ghosn  comments.

LEGAL VICTORY IN STRUGGLE AGAINST WALL
By Nora  Barrows-Friedman, The Electronic Intifada, 6 Sep 2007

On Tuesday, the  Israeli high court decided in favor of a
petition drawn up by the Palestinian  villagers of Bil'in
in the occupied West Bank to change the current route  of
the illegal apartheid wall which encircles the small
village. For  years, residents of Bil'in, along with
international and Israeli activists,  have led nonviolent
resistance actions every week against the encroaching  wall
and the illegal settlement colonies that expand on a daily
basis on  their land. Nora Barrows-Friedman reports for EI.

Palestine  : Diaries: Live from Palestine:

SARAH, MAHMOUD AND YEHYA
By Yassmin  Moor, The Electronic Intifada, 5 Sep 2007

Sarah Abu Ghazal's school  uniform still lay on her
mattress, untouched as she had left it before  running out
after her cousins Mahmoud and Yehya Abu Ghazal on
Wednesday,  29 August. She was to begin the fourth grade on
2 September, but her friend  Amani, who has accompanied her
to school since the first grade, would walk  alone this
year. Sarah's mother had bought her the blue school
uniform,  blue jeans and the black shoes just the day
before she was killed by Israel  tank fire. Her mother
waited until the last minute to buy Sarah's  school
supplies because she was waiting for her husband's salary
which he  had not received since June.

HAMAS FLAG GOES UP IN LEBANON CAMPS
By  Anand Gopal, Electronic Lebanon, Sep 5, 2007

BADDAWI CAMP, Lebanon, 5  September (IPS) - There is a new
look to the entrance of the Palestinian  refugee camp
Baddawi in northern Lebanon. Hanging above the armed man
who  guards the entrance are posters of Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, the slain spiritual  leader of Hamas, and other
fighters from the Palestinian guerrilla group.  Nearby, a
huge Hamas banner covers the side of a house, and down the
road  Hamas flags flutter in the wind.
