Activist Claims Israel Condones Apartheid But Objects to World's Criticism
By Pat and Samir Twair
The late Prof. Tanya Reinhart at Princeton (Staff photo J. Adas).
"THE ISRAELI POINT of view is it's okay to practice apartheid, but it's not okay for the world to know they're doing it." So said Daphne Banai, Tel Aviv coordinator of Machsom ("checkpoint") Watch, who was in Los Angeles on a speaking tour with Palestinian human rights attorney Taghrid Shbita.
More than 70 people heard the two activists speak Feb. 24 at the Islamic Center of Southern California. Banai explained that more than 400 Jewish women volunteers alternate twice daily to monitor Israeli troops' conduct toward Palestinians at 70 checkpoints in the West Bank.
Shbita, who is a Palestinian citizen of Israel, explained that in 1948 her husband's family lived in the village of Miske, which once covered about 12 acres. Warned to flee the Israeli militias, they took refuge in Tira, where they live today.
"The people wanted to return to their homes in Miske and they applied often to the authorities for permission to go back," Shbita said. "So in 1952, in an effort to finish these aspirations once and for all, the government destroyed all structures in Miske. All that remains is two walls of a mosque and two rooms of a school."
Nonetheless, Shbita said, villagers return to the deserted site and point out to their grandchildren where their homes and shops stood. Now her son and daughters are reaching the age to marry, and there is no place for them to live. "Why not return to Miske?" her son asks.
"This question is what Israelis refer to as "˜demographic danger,"' Shbita explained. "Jews have the right of return, but they are disturbed when Palestinians want to exercise this right."
Banai grew up in a right-wing family, she said, which told her never to trust an Arab. Nonetheless she was curious, and attended a Bridge to Peace meeting.
"That meeting changed my life," she recalled. "My whole outlook moved 180 degrees."
Soon after, Banai made her first visit to Tira, where she met Shbita. They've been best friends for 25 years.
Banai told the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, that for the past six years she has gone to major Israeli military checkpoints once or twice a week for a half-day shift, and all day when she goes to the Jordan Valley.
"I've been beaten and shot at by settlers, they even tried to set fire to my car, but once you've witnessed what's going on, you can't excuse it," she said. "Of course I don't need to do it, but I want to look at myself in the mirror and know I'm doing my best to end the occupation.
"You must keep in mind that most of the Machsom volunteers are not activists," she added. "They come from the mainstream. Often when they come for the first time, they say they can't volunteer on a regular basis, but when they witness the abuse, they become obsessed with stopping the injustice."
Banai said her work isn't limited to her physical presence at checkpoints. Palestinians know her and have her phone number. When they experience unreasonable situations at checkpoints, they call her. "We go into action and call checkpoint commanders," she explained. "We also notify reporters, who call these same commanders and ask for explanations."
During a Feb. 25 talk in a Santa Monica synagogue, Banai was asked if checkpoints didn't prevent suicide bombers from entering Israel.
"It takes much longer, but those checkpoints can be circumvented by taking unpaved back roads," she replied. "I'm sure a determined terrorist would not try to pass through a checkpoint."
She proceeded to tell a story about a taxi driver who had driven her and other Machsom Watch women to a remote checkpoint. The Israeli soldiers were disturbed to see the Jewish monitors.
"They couldn't apprehend us for just being there," she noted, "so they took it out on the cab driver and arrested him. We objected and asked on what grounds they were taking him in. The soldier replied, "˜I don't need a reason to arrest a Palestinian.'"

Teacher, Farmer Resist Hebron Settlers
Retired Hebron schoolmistress Feryal Abu Haikal (l) and Mohammed Khatib (Staff photos S. Twair).
Feryal Abu Haikal, a teacher from Hebron, and Mohammed Khatib, a farmer from Bil'in, toured the U.S. to discuss "Grassroots, Nonviolent Resistance to Israeli Apartheid in Palestine." The two appeared March 1 in Los Angeles at the Islamic Center of Southern California.
Without a doubt, Hebron is the epicenter of violence by radical Jewish settlers. Abu Haikal's al-Qurtuba School, in the heart of the Old City, is a prime target of settler children.
"The settlers turn their children on our pupils because no [Jewish] child under age 12 can be arrested," explained the retired schoolmistress. "The children attack our students on Saturdays and Jewish holidays, so we close al-Qurtuba on those days and end our classes before the settler schools dismiss their pupils."
There are six small settlements within the Old City which house about 400 settlers, Abu Haikal said. A contingent of 1,500 Israeli troops protect the settlers, who curse and attack the 150,000 Palestinian Hebronites.
A video was shown of settler children screaming "No Palestine" and "Kill Arabs" as they pelted Palestinian elementary students with stones. During the melee, the camera captures the schoolmistress as she pleads to an Israeli soldier: "Why don't you stop this?"
He replies: "We're here to protect settlers only."
Scholar Nada Elia (l) and Craig Corrie (Staff photo J. Adas).
Abu Haikal's home in adjacent Tell Rumeida is under constant assault by settlers who live in six trailers installed atop Roman ruins. Remarkably, neither UNESCO nor any other antiquities preservation agency objected to the desecration of the site. The 60-year-old mother of 11 showed a video of the settlers trying to enter her home at gunpoint.
"When we called the police, they said the settlers were just "˜visitors,'" she recalled, "then they arrested my husband and two sons for 96 hours and fined them 3,000 shekles."
While Abu Haikal and her students offer the world an example of nonviolent resistance, Khatib is the embodiment of samed (sticking to the land). Every Friday for the past two years, he has led creative political theater resistance to the construction of Israel's apartheid wall and the Modi'in Illit settlement, which will house 150,000 settlers.
"Imagine what will happen when they move in," Khatib stated. "There will be no water for us." Bil'in is 16 kilometers from Ramallah, he explained, but the wall will cut off most of its 14,000 acres and olive groves from the farmers.
The media are aware of Khatib's creative Friday demonstrations. On one occasion, the protestors dressed in white and covered their mouths with gags. Another time they carried an 8-meter-long paper snake representing the occupation.
"We see that in Iraq the American soldiers are using the same tactics as the Israeli occupation forces," Khatib concluded. He urged the audience to be on the lookout for the Australian documentary "Bil'in Habibi." For more information, visit <www.bilin-village.org>.
PAWA Hosts Women's Day Banquet
Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena (Staff photo S. Twair).
"Empowerment Through Generations" was the theme of the Palestinian American Women's Association (PAWA) 21st annual International Women's Day banquet March 10 at the Holiday Inn Select in La Mirada.
A special tribute was paid to Craig Corrie, father of Rachel Corrie, the young American who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer on March 16, 2003 as she tried to stop the destruction of a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip's Rafah refugee camp.
Noting that his wife, Cindy, was appearing at a simultaneous event honoring Rachel, Corrie said that he and his wife spoke at 40 different venues in 2006. All the women in his family are strong, Corrie said, and his sister-in-law, Cheryl, has talked about the Palestinian issue and Rachel's murder in every Senate and congressional office. Rachel's older sister, Sarah, has led the campaign to get the Justice and State Departments to launch an investigation into Rachel's murder.
Keynote speaker Dr. Nada Elia of Antioch University in Seattle discussed the means of empowerment for women to escape the cycle of violence they face in war zones. Historically, she noted, women were the spoils of war, and 90 percent of the casualties were soldiers. Today, however, 95 percent of the casualties are civilians. And with the battlefront more often being on the home front, Elia emphasized, an increasing number of the victims are women.
Another gender dimension of war is that men are more abusive of their spouses once they have been trained in violence and torture. This is true for Israelis, Elia noted: "After they perpetrate acts of violence, they can't just leave this mentality on the doorstep like a pair of muddy boots."
Violence, which can't be avoided in Palestine, she stated, is impacted by curfews that imprison entire families.
"Some 70 percent of Palestinian men subjected to violence, duplicate it in the home on their wives and then they take it out on the children," Elia explained. "Women speak of this abuse the same way they talk about the occupation. They're not in denial because they don't have the luxury to be in denial."
According to Dr. Elia, resistance must start at home with a refusal to perpetuate violence. Women can't wait for the occupation to end before they call a halt to domestic violence. Instead, she said, they must denounce the problem and recognize that its cause is an increasingly violent occupation. They must name the problem, she concluded, and make the home the site of resistance.
Italian Journalist Recalls Attack
"The Iraq war was based on a lie," said Giuliana Sgrena. "The only weapons of mass destruction are the ones the U.S. fires on the Iraqis." The Italian journalist spoke during a March 19 signing of her book, Friendly Fire (available from the AET Book Club), at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles.
Sgrena was an unembedded Il Manifesto reporter when she was kidnapped in Baghdad on Feb. 4, 2005. She became a cause célèbre in Italy, where a soccer star had her photo on his shirt and huge crowds clamored for her release.
She was freed March 4, 2005. Maj. Gen. Nicola Calispari, Italy's second-ranking intelligence officer, had traveled to Iraq, where he secured her release. He found Sgrena blindfolded in an abandoned car and moved her into his vehicle, which sped to the Baghdad airport.
Even though the Americans were notified of the rescue mission, a U.S. tank fired 58 bullets at the car. Eleven struck the side and rear of the vehicle, killing Calispari and severely wounding Sgrena, whose lung was punctured by a four-inch bullet.
There was no love lost between the U.S. military and Sgrena, who wrote about the treatment of women prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison and reported that napalm was used at "Fallujah II" on Nov. 26, 2004.
Ironically, it was an Italian American, Spc. Mario Lozano, who fired the fatal shots. Sgrena publicly asked to speak to the New York City National Guardsman on June 26, but he declined.
Lozano will be tried in absentia April 17 in Italy. "I don't want him to be a scapegoat," she told the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. "It is important for him to say what happened. It was no accident. The Americans knew who was in our car—there was a helicopter directly above us. Was he following a command?"

Police are searching for two suspects who tried to burglarize a pharmacy in Barbourville Tuesday night.
Surveillance video from the Hinkle Hometown Pharmacy shows how the two suspects tried to get in.
It started out as any other quiet night at the Hinkle Hometown Pharmacy in Barbourville until two men showed up at the back door with pantyhose covering their faces.
The two suspects hid behind an air conditioning unit for a few minutes before throwing a rock at the door shattering the door.
Police say the alarm went off, and the suspects immediately fled.
"The pharmacy owner was fortunate enough that they didn't gain entry, and they didn't take anything," said Detective Steve Owens with Barbourville Police.
This is the first attempt at a pharmacy theft in the city in sometime.
In fact, it's the first one at Hinkle Hometown Pharmacy ever.
"Generally the trends that we see with upswings in pharmacy burglaries coincide with street value of drugs or availability of drugs," said Owens.
He says they are patrolling pharmacies more closely after the first attempt, particularly looking for a second attempt by these two suspects.
If you have any information about the two suspects in the video, you should contact Barbourville Police.

Nine million women in the United States have osteoporosis, a loss of calcium in the bones that makes them brittle and susceptible to fracture.
Although we think of osteoporosis as a women's disease, sometimes linked to menopause, men can get it too.
Now, there is a new way to figure out if you are in danger of developing it.
From bone density tests at the doctor's office, to daily walks to make him stronger, Luciano Blanco has made some big changes ever since he got a surprising diagnosis.
Blanco says, "I thought my bones were perfect, and they were not…was unbelievable."
Most of what we see and hear about osteoporosis focuses on women, but men are at risk too.
Rheumatologist Dr. Sanford Baim says, "Osteoporosis is a silent disease until you fracture, but again even after a fracture, men are not identified as having osteoporosis."
Three million men in the United States have osteoporosis. Many more go undiagnosed. One-third of all hip fractures occur in men.
Dr. Silvina Levis says, "Once a man fractures a hip, he has double the risk of dying after that hip fracture than a woman does."
Male or female, this online tool called the FRAX algorithm can predict your future risk of osteoporosis.
Answer some questions about you and your medical history, then hit calculate.
Dr. Baim says, "It absolutely then calculates your ten year risk for any major osteoporosis fracture and hip fractures
If your ten year risk of major fracture is over 20%, or over 3% for hip fracture, talk to your doctor.
With daily walks, medication and calcium supplements, Mr. Blanco's bones are getting stronger.
He says, "So, I hope I can still go on for some time."
A smart 79-year-old taking steps to protect his bones and his health.
The FRAX osteoporosis risk tool was developed by the World Health Organization.
It is most accurate for men and women between forty and ninety years old, but anyone can take the online test.
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis or "porous bone" is a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis leads to an increased risk of bone fractures typically in the wrist, hip, and spine. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, it's estimated that about half of all women older than 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. Up to one in four men will too. By 2025, experts predict that osteoporosis will be responsible for approximately three million fractures and $25.3 billion in costs each year. (Source: National Osteoporosis Foundation)
WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW: Even though women are at greater risk for getting osteoporosis, as our population ages, more men will get it too. The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates about 80,000 men break a hip each year, and they are more likely than women to die within a year after breaking a hip. There are several factors that can put men at risk for getting osteoporosis including: family history, taking steroid medications, not exercising, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or having low testosterone levels.
The prevalence of osteoporosis is estimated to be seven percent of white men, five percent of African American men, and three percent of Hispanic men. These figures are expected to grow as the population ages within the next 15 years.
NEW GUIDELINES: The American College of Physicians has issued new guidelines to bring awareness to osteoporosis screening in older men:
* Clinicians should periodically assess older men for risk of osteoporosis.
* Clinicians should obtain DXA tests for men who are at an increased risk for osteoporosis and candidates for medication treatment. The DXA test (dual-energy X-ray absorptiomerty) measures bone density.
* More research is recommended to assess screening tests for osteoporosis in men.

Suggest some places I may never have been- Polk Gulch, TL, Mission...
I'm in the mood to try something new. Looking in the area bounded by Franklin, not more into the Marina than, say, Washington. Polk Gulch, Tenderloin, Mission (all the way out to Bernal) all fair game. I live in a neighbourhood I like to call the "Tender Addition" (Sutter/Van Ness area) and I've yet to really find good eats around there. Other than Tommy's Joynt.
We love new experiences and ethnic food. Would like sit-down, but not super schmancy. Is Brick worth trying?
This is for a late dinner and (ideally) drinks tonight.
re: Problem Child
Thai food, right? Next to Vertigo across from Hemlock? I'll look into it, thanks!
You might like to try O'Reilly's Holy Grail. It is located in the former Mayes Oyster House. Good food and nice setting.
re: BlaineResident
You can start the night with drinks at Bambuddah (corner of eddy/larkin) or Olive (larkin at olive) before Bodega, which serves b&w only.
Also, have you tried Sauce (gough and grove or hayes)? I think that's within the parameters you mention. I really liked it the one time I went. Simple dishes, prepared well and the room is comfortable. They have a full bar there and, though I drank wine while dining there, the bartender was squeezing the fruit juice to order. I saw a slew of mojitos and other drinks flying from the bar.
As to your question about Brick, if you do a search, you won't find any glowing reviews. Maybe an "OK" at best, but most people seem to have been disappointed by it.
re: fine wino
Bambuddah serves dinner, too, and has nicer atmo than Bodega Bistro. Good value wine list, too.
Between Sauce and Brick- hard call. I thought they had very similar style menus ("eclectic" small plates pulling from many different cuisines) and found a lot of the food at both places was too many ingredients in too small a plate- flavor circus! If I *had* to go back, Brick was at least a bit more inventive than Sauce.
Chowsmurf should definately hit Little Saigon- on Larkin from Sutter down to Turk, there's Turtle Tower (good pho), Bodega Bistro, Bambuddha Lounge, and Saigon Sandwich (super cheap). I've heard Pagolac is good, too, but not checked it out yet. Skip Mangosteen.
Farmer Brown has gotten a lot of ink (pixels?) on this board. Check out some reviews here.
Also, if you're going all the way out in the Mission, try Front Porch.
I have not yet been to FP, but FB was wonderful, and the 1/2-price cocktails until 7pm are delicious. Great scene, too.
re: foodiegrl
I super-second farmer brown! But be warned that tonight (thurs)is "live music night" and the band is LOUD! Actually the restaurant is pretty loud so if you want to have intimate conversation with your dining conpanion(s), it will be hard to do there unless you really snuggle. Hey, that could be cool though!
We went to Farmer Brown on Saturday night- it is a favorite! (I was pleased to see that the pork tenderloin- which for me was dry and inedibly overcooked- has been replaced with a chop. I had the fried chicken, but I bet the chop is way better than the loin.)
Oh! Front Porch! I've been meaning to try that. Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to check that out. Also Sauce sounds good- he's a sucker for fresh squeezed juice drinks.
I did a search for Brick right after I asked that question. Yeah-- I'll be taking a pass on that until I hear overwhelming chatter to the contrary.
Thanks all!
re: Chowsmurf
Good call on Brick. We tasted their tartare appetizer at the SF mag event in July, and it was a bland yucky mess. They really missed out on making a good first impression with us and about 1,000 other food enthusiasts. I will not be going there soon (for food, at least).
Stop by El Nuevo Frutilandia, 24th St. between Harrison and Folsom. Tomorrow is Bacalao Day...
Sound like you live mere blocks from Little Saigon. From Sutter, walk south down Larkin and try Mangosteen, Bodega Bistro and (although it's not sit-down) Saigon Sandwiches.
Also, on Geary and Larkin is A la Turca, delicious and inexpensive Turkish food.
If you like Thai, give Modern Thai a try on Polk, near Sutter I think. They have a fantastic crispy basil tofu. This place is underrated IMHO.
Have you ever been to swan oyster depot? It's on Polk at California...also, Thai House Express is supposed to be very good (Larkin/Sutter thereabouts) though I have never eaten there.
Swan Oyster Depot has been on my list for ages, but the hours are prohibitive for me.
VERDICT- We went to Ozone
It reminded me of someplace you'd have a high school dance. Very strange. The shrimp "egg rolls" (just whole shrimp in an egg roll wrapper) were good- how can you go wrong with that, though? The Chicken Wings were very good- not stuffed with rice noodles as I'd expected, though, but tasty. Nice sauce, nice and meaty wings, not like your traditional "buffalo wing" size. (They leave the wingtip on, so it's clear they get the wings whole.) The Tom Yum soup was passable- OK, nicely flavoured. My DC got the yellow curry- this was super yummy and I have some for lunch today! I got the Thai Spicy Noodles Pan Fry and it was completely inedible. There was so much cornstarch in the soupy sauce that it was impossible to find the flavour or spicy through the glop. Also, I didn't think there were any noodles in it- until I found some hidden under some stuff. They were a gummy mass of nasty. Thumbs down on that.
Also thumbs down on the Soju Ginger Cosmo- served in a white wine glass with a few floating chunks of ginger. Room temp and overwhelmingly Soju-flavoured.
My dining companion would like you all to know the beer was good- Anchor Steam. :)
re: Chowsmurf
Too bad you didn't try any of the unique dishes that Ozone excels at. If you could be convinced to go there again, check some of the past reports for the specialties. Hardly anyone around here makes a good tom yum soup, it's rarely a marker for the kitchen's skill.
re: Melanie Wong
I'll do better research next time- it's literally a block from my apartment, so no doubt I'll be back again.
re: Chowsmurf
Try to order from the rice porridge menu where you can get free rice porridge with 3 orders of dishes. The ones that I liked were Thousand yr old egg with crispy basil and ground pork, On-Choi, Crispy pork belly with Chinese brocoli, Chai-po with eggs.
I also liked their duck salad from their regular salad menu.
Melanie might have other favorites.

Fashion Week Trendwatch: Jumpsuits
You're laughing and shaking your head now, but trust me, come Spring 2009, you'll be contemplating the jumpsuit. You'll be looking at a quirky one-piece in a slouch fabric and wondering 'could I get away with it'. Shown on the catwalks of New York, London and Milan so far, there've been dozens of all-in-one styles from a wide-reaching sphere of designers...
There are no rules with this style, which is at least one good thing about it. Your jumpsuit could be silk, denim, lycra or cotton, and it could be printed, textured or classic black. Trousers are long and slouchy, pegged or rolled, or cropped at the knee (not very flattering unless you're Aggy).
For the more adventurous there are ditsy flowered jumpsuits with corset tops, watercolour printed silks and bright asymmetric offerings...or you could give this one a miss all together?

Your Weekly Women to Listen to: Warpaint, Neon Hitch, The Ettes and more
Since I got to see some really great female acts at Lollaplooza last weekend, I've decided to give you the lowdown on some of the performers. I'm going to skip talking about Lady Gaga, though, because she is an enigma who has already taken over the hearts and minds of most of the world.
File Under: Hip-Hop, neo-soul, righteous babe, amazing entertainer, poet
From: Dallas, TX
For fans of: Jill Scott, Outkast, Sade, being funkdafied
Your bonus to yourself should be to go out and get Mama's Gun and her live album from '97. These are life-altering
File Under: Alternative rock from a gorgeous Canadian with maybe a tinge of New Wave
From: The great maple leaf country
For fans of: Liz Phair, Tegan and Sara, New Order, ripped jeans (the good kind)
Bonus: Emily Haines is so, so hot
File Under: Electro-pop down-tempo cover artist who hasn't put an album out yet but it's in the works!
London, however she literally grew up traveling. Her family raised her
as a performer (she's a trained trapeze artist, fire swinger and stilt
walker) and was the subject of a documentary about wanderers.
For fans of: Not knowing what's coming next, remixes, covers
Bonus: She's worked with Imogen Heap, Sky Ferreira and Ryan Tedder, a huge hit maker.
File Under: Hot, hot, hot sister DJs making music for the kids to dance to
From: Australia

They called themselves demon assassins
They called themselves the "demon assassins." On January 17th, Monifa Sanford, 21, and Zakieya Avery, 29, thought evil spirits were inside Avery's four young children, so they tried to drive out the demons through exorcisms. They stabbed a 1-year-old and 2-year- old and wounded two other children in their Germantown home.
Both women were charged with murder and after their arrests, underwent psychiatric evaluations. A psychiatrist's report revealed in court Friday concluded that Sanford was delusional during the attack and didn't realize what she was doing. In Maryland, if the court finds someone legally insane when they commit a crime, the defendant is not criminally responsible. The penalty could be hospitalization instead of a prison sentence. The psychiatrist's opinion of Avery's state-of-mind have not been made public, yet.
If they are both convicted of murder, they face life in prison.

Please tell me the differance between the tri and pro, transducers.
Watched Crappie Paradise and Tom covered it nicely……
Sorry, Tom! I didn't see this comment until just now! Glad you found the info you were looking for. Nobody covers it better than Tom Z.!
I am a little confused by the different transducers. I believe the higher the degree number of the transducer the larger the cone angle but at what depth? What would be the best transducer to get for the average fisherman that rarely fish's water deeper that 40 feet. ? Thanks in advance for your help.,
Your assumption is correct. The 12 degree is a great all around beam for the multi-species angler, who doesn't fish deep water often…
Hi Matt,
I am coming up to Red Lake for the first time next week. I just bought a Vexiilar F18. Never used one. Should the transducer be floated just below the ice or does that matter. Thanks for the help.
The ice is getting quite thick in Northern MN, so I would try using the float to keep your 'ducer vertical. The less cord down the hole, the easier it will be to land fish!
Good luck up here!
