| Gaza: The Killing Zone - Israel/Palestine |
 |
May 2003
life in Gaza is a constant gauntlet of
Israeli sniper fire, military rockets and
army bulldozers. No one is safe. In light of
the escalating tensions, we're bringing back
one our most moving documentaries, a
hard-hitting expose of life in the Occupied
territories. We speak to the children caught
in the crossfire and find out the true cost
of Israel's targeted assassinations policy.

Traditional Palestinian song lamenting the
loss of three great men in 1930- Fouad
Hejazi, Mohamad Jamjoum, and Atta Al Zeir.
R.I.P.
Here is a VERY ROUGH translation of the
words, even though I do not believe sucha
beautiful song can be translated into a
language like english:
Opening:
Three men and three verdicts, the accusation:
love of Palestine, the ruling judgement:
execution.
O Atta Al Zeir, Foud Hejazi, O Jamjoum, O
three shining stars! You lit up the land of
my nation, and from Akka came the funerals
for three doves, emerging from the darkness
and spreading my country with rays of light.
Song:
They were three men, racing towards death, in
front of them the deadly predicament of the
oppressor. And they met it with bravery and
courage as great as the area of the country
they were defending.
(Ya 3ain Ya 3ain x 3)
O the darkness of the prison (of Akka) is too
much, when will it be over for these brave
men? The day is Tuesday the 3rd, O My Land
(Palestine) answer...who will race to give
his life and blood for you?
(Ya 3ain Ya 3ain x3)
From Akka's Prison came the funerals,
Mohammad Jamjoun and Fouad Hejazi,
Mourn for them O my people mourn,
The grief of the year has come.
From Akka's Prison came the funerals,
Mohammad Jamjoun and Fouad Hejazi,
Mourn for them O my people mourn,
The grief of the year has come
(Church bells toll)
Mohammad Jamjoum with his will, Fouad Hejazi
with his love of righteousness, look what
they offered!
Only to have the judgement of the Oppressor
execute them!
Mohammad Jamjoum with his will, Fouad Hejazi
with his love of righteousness, look what
they offered!
Only to have the judgement of the Oppressor

And Say O Mohammad 'I am the first among
you!', my voice O Atta is in your honour, and
say O Hejazi "I am the first among you", that
is the strength of their honour.

O my dear loving mother the time has come,
with all the nations of the world to witness,
they called Fouad, O Fouad, they cannot even
say farewell!

with sweeping passion!

O my brother Yousef, and you my mother, do
not (act in revenge) my sister lest you fall
into demise. For the sake of this country I
sacrificed my blood, it is all for you O
Palestine.

These three died the death of lions! Stay
steadfast O mother, stay resilient. For this
nation (of Palestine) we give up our lives,
our bodies, and our souls! And the crown of
freedom and victory sits waiting for us!

The old lie that palestine was dry desert
waiting for a people is just that--a lie.
This clip for all people to see the Beauty of
the Palestinian People before they were
ethnically cleansed and murdered and made
into refugees by the State of Israe.
Music Joaquin Rodrigo, lyrics Helmut Lotti,
sung by Lotti

Land and Borders:
Palestine, currently under occupation, is
located on the East coast of the
Miditerannean Sea, West of Jordan and to the
south of Lebanon. The territory of Palestine
covers around 10,435 square miles (almost
same size as the state of Vermont in the USA
- that is, pretty small.) [1]
Out of this territory, there are 10,163
square miles of land area. The rest is water:
half of the area of the Dead Sea (al-BaHr
al-Mayyit), Huleh Lake (BuHayrat al-Huuleh)
which was dried by the occupation and
Tiberias Lake (BuHayrat Tabariyyah) which is
also known as the Sea of Galilee (BaHr
al-jaliil).
Topography and Terrain:
Palestine can be divided into four main
distinct regions:
* Coastal and Inner Plains:
These are among the best fertile land
in Palestine and elsewhere, with adequate
resources of irrigation (from rainfall and
underground water). They are where most of
the Palestinian citrus groves used to stand.
The coastal stretch is divided by Jabal
al-Karmel (Mount Carmel) into the plain of
Akka (Acre) and the plain of Palestine (also
called Saruunah). The inner part consists,
largely, of Marj bin 3aamir. This one is
triangular in shape, with Jenin and Nazareth
(An-NaaSirah) as its base and the SE edge of
the Akka plain as its sharp corner.
* The Mountains and Hills:
This part is largely rocky but has
terraces which make it suitable for a number
of trees. Olives is one of the most planted
trees in these regions. There are almonds,
apples and others. Also, there are patches of
plains scattered around in this region and
these are fully utilized: they are planted
wheat, barely, lentils .. in Winter and
vegetables during the Summer (mostly
tomatoes, melons, maize and other vegetation
that stands the hot weather). Mountains are
located in al-Jaliil (Galilee), al-Karmel,
Nablus and Hebron areas.
* The Jordan Valley and Ghawr:
This is well below sea level, hence the
name ghawr, with very good soil but very
little water resources. Agriculture there
depends on irrigation either from local
streams or the Jordan River. Due to its
climate, that region used to produce summer
vegetables in late Winter stretching the
availability of fresh produce before
electricity and refregerators. The two lakes
are at the northern edge of this region.
* The Southern Desert:
This region comprises almost half of
the land of Palestine. It is also triangular
in shape. The base is fertile and the rest,
with its apex near the town of Aqaba, is poor
with scattered patches of regions suitable
for cultivation. Bi'r as-Sab' (renamed
Beersheba by the occupation) is the main town
in that region.[2]
Population:
There has never been an accurate official
census in Palestine since the roots of the
recent aggression. Hadawi states that at the
end of 1918 (WW1), there were 700,000 people
living in Palestine. These were divided into
574,000 Muslims, 70,000 Christians and 56,000
Jews. Almost all the Palestinian Christians
are Arabs and most of the Jews as well (up to
around 1900 AD). These numbers check
positively with the estimate that only 6% to
7% of the total Palestinian population was
Jewish right after the first Zionist congress
in Basel. It is also consistent with what
David Newman's statement [3] that: between
1800 and 1945, The Jewish Population of
Palestine increased from approximately 25,000
to 600,000, eventually comprising some 33 per
cent of the country's population.

June 2003
Tom Hurndall was shot through the head by the
Israeli army. We follow his grieving family
who came to Gaza to see what their son was
doing. Five-year-old Salamah was one of three
children Tom was attempting to rescue when he
was shot. He had frozen in fear when soldiers
began firing at him. Another young peace
campaigner, Brian Avery, is lucky to be alive
after a burst of machine gun fire ripped off
half his face. He now lies in hospital with
horrific scars barely able to talk. The
Israelis are cracking down on foreigners
entering the Gaza Strip.

February 2001
One of the most densely populated places on
earth, the Gaza Strip is home to over a
million Palestinians - and is a virtual
prison. Just 43 kilometres long and 10
kilometres wide, most of its residents are
refugees who've lived in camps since 1948.
Since the Palestinian uprising - the second
Intifada - began in September 2000, none of
Gaza's 40,000 day labourers have been able to
cross the border to Israel. The checkpoint is
also closed to all goods and medical supplies
coming in from Israel and the West Bank.
Local Gazans bear the brunt of Israel's
determination to quash the uprising. Some 135
Palestinian children under the age of 15 have
been killed by Israel's soldiers - for
throwing stones at checkpoints near Israeli
settlements. In this episode, Life visits
Reyidh and Sabah and their children - just
one refugee family trying to cope.
