<div class="feedEntryContent"><p>The Technion is complicit in Israel’s violations of international law and the rights of Palestinians, specifically by designing military weapons and developing technologies that are used to drive Palestinians off their land, repress demonstrations for their rights, and carry out attacks against people in Lebanon, Gaza, and elsewhere. The Technion also practices institutional discrimination against Palestinian students by severely restricting their freedom of speech and assembly, and rewarding Jewish students who, unlike most Palestinians, perform compulsory military service in Israel. This is in direct contrast to Cornell University’s founding values of universalism and inclusion embodied in the university’s motto “any person any study”.</p>

<p class="first">RAMALLAH, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_7">West Bank</span> (Reuters) - The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_0">Palestinians</span> will next month renew a bid to upgrade their status at the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_4">United Nations</span>, their foreign minister said on Saturday, a move which could strengthen their statehood claims after talks with <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_1">Israel</span>stalled.</p>
<p>Palestinians are listed as a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_2">U.N.</span> observer "entity" with no voting rights. They will ask to be made a non-member observer state at the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_5">U.N. General Assembly</span>on September 27, Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah.</p>
<p>Such status, akin to the Vatican's, would be an indirect recognition of their claims on statehood in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. It would allow them to join a number of U.N. agencies, as well as the International Criminal Court.</p>
<p>The Palestinians say Israeli settlement-building on occupied West Bank land has stymied prospects for a bilateral statehood deal. Disagreement over the issue led to negotiations stalling in 2010.</p>

<p>Malki said <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1344088199_8">President Mahmoud Abbas</span> would make the status request in a speech and the Palestinians would then lobby for support among U.N. member states, many of which are sympathetic to the campaign and regard the West Bank settlements as illegal.</p> WE’RE ON OUR WAY AGAIN TO GAZAtag:12160.info,2012-08-04:2649739:Topic:9395102012-08-04T19:33:31.221Ztruthhttps://12160.info/profile/adap2k

<p>On the Second Anniversary of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Turkish Court Indicts Senior Israeli Military Officials in Murders of Nine Passengers</p>
<p>Two years ago I was a passenger on the first Gaza Freedom Flotilla which was sailing to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. I watched from a small boat called the Challenger 1, as a much larger boat, the Mavi Marmara, with almost 600 passengers, was brutally attacked by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) commandos. 30 minutes later, our boat was attacked.</p>
<p>Using snipers from helicopters Israeli commandos shot many of the passengers on the exposed top deck of the ship. Other commandos in boats fired live ammunition, as well as percussion grenades, into all levels of the ship. As commandos repelled down from helicopters and boarded the ship, they executed at point blank range 5 passengers, including a 19 year old American citizen Furkan Dogan, whose body had five bullets including one to the back of his head. 9 persons, 8 Turkish citizens and one American citizen, were murdered and 50 others were wounded. One severely wounded Turkish man later died after being in a coma for many months.</p>
<p>Each of the six ships in the flotilla was attacked by IDF commandos. Passengers on the ships were shot with tasers and beaten by commandos. Potentially lethal paintballs were shot into the faces of passengers narrowly missing eyes and soft parts of the skull.</p>
<p>IDF commandos took the computers, cameras, identification and credit cards and several hundred thousands of dollars in cash from the passengers. IDF commandos sold many of the stolen computers. Very few of the items taken by the IDF have been returned to passengers.</p>
<p>The Mavi Marmara was returned to Turkey with a new coat of paint to cover the blood stains of those wounded and killed. The other five ships are still held by the Israeli government in the port of Haifa.</p>
