Israel Faces New Brand of Terrorism, This Time From Young Settlers – The New York Times

Shin Bet, says the younger Mr. Meyer belongs to a Jewish terrorist network, some of whose members have been charged with grave crimes, including the July arson attack that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents in the West Bank village of Duma. The two suspects in that case also spent time in these hills.The existence of the network, known as the Revolt for the title of its manifesto, became known about six months ago, after the arrest of several suspected members. This latest manifestation of Jewish terrorism is the creation of young extremists rebelling against what they view as the inertia of the Israeli establishment, and it has fermented in lawless outposts like Baladim, a tiny encampment outside Maale Shlomo, and Geulat Zion to the north.PhotoMr. Meyer at his lawyer’s office in Jerusalem. Mr. Meyer was held in administrative detention for five months as a suspect in arson attacks before being released last week, and remains under house arrest at night. Credit Rina Castelnuovo for The New York TimesShin Bet says the group poses a continuing danger of violence, and the authorities have gone after it using extraordinary methods that were previously reserved for Palestinians accused of terrorism. Suspects have been imprisoned without charge under administrative detention orders, and have been denied meetings with lawyers for as long as three weeks.

نادية حرحش

Life throws us into its broad horizons. Sometimes we realize it. Sometimes we ask for it. Sometimes we don’t’ even know…

And quite often, it takes us by surprise.

I don’t know what is taking place yet … but something is happening. Something about my whole entire being. Something related to my unanswered questions and desires that I still don’t comprehend and properly grasp, and maybe realize.

I feel carried away. Like throwing yourself in a dance and you have to trust the beats and your counterpart and let go.

Letting go, is what terrifies me maybe…

Each time I try to find a beat to my life that I want to accommodate with, something else comes up. Turning everything upside down.

My life was manifested with a certain under control harmony when I decided to turn it all upside down and leave marriage. It was a harmony in an…

On Copts of Egypt: A Personal Journey

Sad that humans need to get over fears and biases of “other” time after time, after time. The writer’s experience between Muslim Conservatives and Coptic Christians, I have seen and experienced between various Protestant Sects, between Baptists and Catholics, Hispanics and Anglos, Black and White, Asian and Anglo. Let’s grow up!

Nervana

Cairo ___ many years ago, my primary school teacher took me aside and gave me a stern ultimatum. Either cut my links with one of my friends, “C,” or my school performance would be affected. In my teacher’s view, “C” was a bad influence, and was distracting me away from my studies. “You have to fulfill your mother’s aspirations, there is a world ahead of you, so do not let this girl ruin it for you.”

“C” was a Coptic girl and my first-ever close friend. Many in my school were surprised that we even got on with each other. I was loud and bubbly; she was shy and diffident. But what we shared was hard for outsiders to understand___ empathy. Both of us were daughters of widows who were hard-working single mothers. We pined for our lost fathers, and felt a huge sense of responsibility to make progress…

Mohamed Sheka: The Young Egyptian Behind the Hurghada Attack | Nervana

In sum, regardless of the truth behind what happened in Hurghada, there is no doubt that Mohamed Sheka was a radicalized youth full of hate toward his country and the Western world, even rejecting any lenient explanations of Islamic texts. Sheka is now dead; the question, however, is how many of our youth are radicalized like him? And how can Egypt reverse such a disturbing phenomenon? I am not sure there are any easy answers to those questions.
