My friend Nicholas Wibberley writes: “You may already know about it, but there is a relatively new book published in France [last spring] by Michel Bôle-Richard ‘Le nouvel apartheid’ which looks pretty powerful stuff.  He was Le Monde correspondent in South Africa during the apartheid period and later stationed in the occupied territories.  He did a piece last Thursday for the paper here which I have given a quick translate (below).  The book is not translated into English yet.  I am ordering a copy though.” Continue reading →

His name is Ezra Nawi

Nawi, a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent, is a threat to the settlers and the Israeli government because he has brought international attention to efforts to illegally remove Palestinians from the Hebron region. He will be sentenced August 16th.

The New York Times has taken notice and written this profile of Nawi and his activism.

(Watch the remarkable video of Nawi trying to stop the home demolition and his subsequent arrest.)
