Extremely Volatile situation in Palestine. Many Firsthand accounts emerging from Irish, Italian and UK activists who are acting as Human Shields. Amanda (9) an IMC Ireland reporter has been in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs (1) Reports are emerging of scores of summary executions (3) of Palestinians by the Israeli Army. A group of Palestinian Intellectuals (4) have issued a plea for urgent International solidarity. One of the only comforting things about the whole situation is the presence of many international observers (5) and activists in all parts of Palestine and their continued efforts to get information out as well as attempting to deter the Israelis from going too far. Familiar names such as Luca Casarini (6) of Ya Basta and Hose Bove are also present. Bove was arrested last night along with 13 others in the vicinity of Arafats office. The observers have released a call for others to join them (7) and it appears that international activists are still making their way there. The best sources for up to date info are www.italy.indymedia.org and www.jerusalem.indymedia.org. Voices opposed to the occupation from within Israel are being drowned out. Here is an eloquent testimony from an Israeli refusenik (11) who along with hundreds of others has refused to serve in the Occupied territories. A Tactical Media crew are also there sending out regular reports.
