Gaza/PNN/

Israeli Occupation forces killed today Friday nine Palestinians  during the non-violent protests at Gaza-Israel border as the forces shot and killed five more Palestinians to the east of Rafah, south of Gaza Strip, and to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip.

Ibrahim Ziad al-Err was shot dead by Israeli army as they quelled protesters to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, IOF shot and killed Mohammad Musa Saleh on the border to the east of Rafah, in southern Gaza Strip.

About 1000 protesters were also injured, including 19 seriously, as the forces used gunfire in the upper parts of the body.

Among the nine killed were three children and another 40 injured .

According to medical sources hundreds of   Palestinian were wounded by live bullets and rubber-coated metal bullets, in addition to thousands of suffocations caused by inhaling tear gas during confrontations in several areas of Gaza borders.

This brings up the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since last Friday on the border with the Gaza Strip to 26.

In Gaza …resistance tastes choky

نادية حرحش

No words can express the resilience of these people… Gazans continue to create models that teach the world … resistance is an obligation… a way of life …. even when they decide that the sky will go black …

No one can dare to blame them about environment , safety, pollution, poisoning …. this is welcome to Gaza way of living for more than a decade of seize land blockade …

Latest on FC Cincinnati site selection: Oakley down, no Newport deal, West End still on the table

Will racism and greed win? jeff-berding*100xx719-719-0-46.pngA new statement from FC Cincinnati casts doubt on the team putting a Major League Soccer stadium in Oakley or Newport and said talks about the West End site continue.

“Experience shows that successful MLS teams have stadiums in the urban core. While we believe in Oakley, it is not as close to the urban core as desired,” said Jeff Berding, FC Cincinnati’s president. “[W]e do not believe Oakley is the best fit for a move into MLS at this time.”

The team had set a March 31 deadline to pick…

Rwanda is out, but Israel says it can still deport refugees to — Uganda?

Will racism win?

International pressure led Rwanda to back out of a secret agreement to take in African asylum seekers deported from Israel. Now Israel says it has a nearly identical agreement with a second country, widely known to be Uganda. Kampala denies any such agreement exists.

Israeli insisted on Wednesday that despite the collapse of a deal with Rwanda to forcibly deport tens of thousands of asylum seekers, the mass deportations can continue because an agreement is still in place with a “second third country,” widely believed to be Uganda.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the cancelation of the Rwanda deportation scheme Monday night, saying that Kigali had buckled in the face of international pressure. Hours later, however, Netanyahu himself buckled under pressure from his political base and reversed his reversal of policy.

In a brief to the High Court of Justice Wednesday afternoon, the Israeli State Attorney wrote that Israeli in fact had secret agreements with two countries to take in asylum seekers forcibly deported by Israel. A “special envoy to third countries” departed Israel for the “second third-country” Wednesday morning to ensure it, too, won’t back out of its allegedly secret agreement with Israel.

Third country refers to a country other than an asylum seeker’s country of origin to which Israel aims to deport them. Israel has refused to divulge which countries those “third countries” are, although Netanyahu acknowledged for the first time this week that the “first third country” was in fact Rwanda.

In its filing to the High Court on Wednesday, the state attorney clarified that just because Netanyahu broke his own state secrets declaration by revealing who the “first third country” is (Rwanda), that doesn’t mean that the “second third country” (presumably Uganda) can now be named. That’s still a state secret — for now.

The foreign minister of Uganda, Henry Okello Oryem, told the AP on Tuesday that his country will turn back any deported asylum seekers sent there. “We do not have a contract, any understanding, formal or informal, with Israel for them to dump their refugees here.”

The special envoy was expected to report back by Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

The state provided the updated information in response to a High Court petition demanding the release of several hundred asylum seekers who are being imprisoned for refusing to be deported. Israel does not plan on releasing them, the state said, unless the attorney general is convinced they cannot be deported.

+972 Magazine visited Uganda earlier this year to investigate what happens to the Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers Israel sends there. What became clear is that Uganda does not provide residency or any legal status to asylum seekers who arrive from Israel, and that they either live in squalid poverty, unable to work or earn a living, or embark on dangerous journeys to find refuge elsewhere.

The Israeli High Court of Justice issued an injunction against the forced deportation of asylum seekers on March 15, although it allowed the state to keep in prison those asylum seekers who had already been jailed for refusing deportation. At a hearing earlier in March the justices appeared at least a little perturbed by Rwanda’s denial that an agreement with Israel exists, and particularly what that means for deportees’ access to legal remedy if they are denied the protections it is supposed to provide them.

Now that Uganda is making similar denials at the highest levels of government, it is possible the justices will have the same questions about the prospect of deporting asylum seekers there — assuming Uganda is indeed the “second third country.”

Anti-deportation activists who had organized world-wide protests outside Rwandan embassies hoping to shame Kigali into backing out of its agreement with Israel were already regrouping Wednesday afternoon to use the same tactics against Kampala.
