BLOCKADE "EASED" AS GAZA STARVES MORE SLOWLY
By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 28 June 2010

As Israel last week declared the "easing" of the four-year blockade of Gaza, an official explained the new guiding
principle: "Civilian goods for civilian people." The severe and apparently arbitrary restrictions on foodstuffs
entering the enclave -- coriander bad, cinnamon good -- will finally end, while a "security" blockade will remain.
But in truth, Israel's "security" blockade is, in both its old and new incarnations, every bit a "civilian" blockade.
Jonathan Cook comments.

FAKE CALLS TO "EASE" THE GAZA SIEGE
By Hasan Abu Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 24 June 2010

Ever since Israel's murderous attack on the Freedom Flotilla on 31 May, there have been increasing calls from
many parties on Israel to end its siege of Gaza. This is strange as well as deceitful, for the siege is not
Israel's alone. Hasan Abu Nimah comments.

ISRAELI KILLING LEAVES JERUSALEM CHILDREN FATHERLESS
By Mel Frykberg, The Electronic Intifada, 25 June 2010

RAMALLAH, occupied West Bank (IPS) - "Where is my daddy? Why is he not coming home? I want my daddy," sobs
seven-year-old Yasmin, her big blue eyes filling with tears. She wakes up crying every night. "My life only
began when I met him. I will never meet such a wonderful man again," Yasmin's mother Moira Julani tells IPS.

NATIONAL UNITY REMAINS ELUSIVE UNDER OCCUPATION
By Rami Almeghari, Live from Palestine, 24 June 2010

Since the split between the Fatah and Hamas factions deepened after the latter stymied foreign-backed efforts to overthrow it in 2007 following its election victory the previous year, there has been much talk of restoring Palestinian unity. Such reconciliation has however so far eluded all efforts. Some analysts think it may have a better chance now. Rami Almeghari reports for The Electronic Intifada.
