Ahed Tamimi, 17-year-old activist from Nabi Saleh whose case has received widespread global attention, will be sentenced to eight months in Israeli prison following a plea bargain on 21 March at Ofer military court, Palestinian media have reported. The plea bargain will involve a modified indictment with four items instead of the 12 that were originally included in the indictment, under which she was threatened with imprisonment for up to 10 years.

In the revised indictment, Ahed is accused of obstructing and assaulting an occupation soldier as part of the famous incident in which she slapped an occupation soldier on her family’s land, demanding he leave. Other charges of “incitement” and allegations related to political speech were excluded from the new indictment, as were five other incidents in which she was accused of assaulting occupation forces when they invaded her village, Nabi Saleh. The sentence has not yet been approved by the military court and is not yet final.

Ahed’s mother, Nariman, is also imprisoned and facing similar charges relating to the action on 15 December, in which Ahed confronted an Israeli occupation soldier invading her village alongside her cousin, Nour. Nariman Tamimi livestreamed the confrontation on Facebook in a video that soon went viral, expressing Palestinians’ commitment to resist occupation. Ahed and her family are leaders in the grassroots indigenous land defense movement in Nabi Saleh, confronting the illegal settlement of Halamish and occupation soldiers who have confiscated the village’s spring and lands.

The vast majority of all military court cases in occupied Palestine end in plea bargains. Palestinian prisoners are forced into plea bargains with threats of lengthy sentences that pose an all-too-real danger, especially with the inflated charges and lengthy indictments proffered against Palestinians. Over 99 percent of all military court cases end with a conviction, and lengthy sentences have become a norm, even for many children. Plea bargains are forced on Palestinians by a colonial “court” system that is only designed to suppress their resistance and isolate organizers and leaders from the Palestinian people.

The sentence comes only days after the Israeli military appeals court ruled on 19 March that Ahed’s trial must be held behind closed doors and away from public view. Ahed and her lawyer, Gabi Lasky, are rejecting the closed trial, especially as the case has helped to shine an international light on Israeli practices against Palestinian prisoners, especially Palestinian children targeted for arrest and persecution. Ahed’s case has helped to highlight the ongoing, systematic practice of the military imprisonment and trial of hundreds of Palestinian children each year.

The Secret To Writing Lyrics

Lyrics are one of the most important aspects of songwriting: They’re the first thing most people listen to, and they convey your song’s story more clearly than anything else. But they’re really hard, right? Language is so complicated and weird that many of the structural approaches we theorists like to take for chords and stuff just don’t work. Well, fortunately for us, we’re not the only ones asking these sorts of questions, and the answers are out there. We just have to look a little further afield.

Ahed Tamimi condannata a 8 mesi di carcere A16 anni era diventata una star di Internet come simbolo palestinese. L’adolescente Ahed Tamimi lo scorso dicembre era divenuta simbolo della lotta dei palestinesi dopo la diffusione di un video su Facebook in cui si vede la teenager, facilmente riconoscibile per i capelli ricci chiari, spintonare, schiaffeggiare e scalciare due soldati israeliani che lo scorso 15 dicembre, durante le manifestazioni contro Gerusalemme capitale, cercavano di entrare nella sua abitazione nel villaggio di Nabi Saleh, un villaggio della Cisgiordania. Adesso a qualche mese di distanza è stata condanna a otto mesi con la Corte militare di Ofer nei Territori palestinesi. Secondo la sua legale Gaby Lasky, l’accusa e la difesa hanno concordato per lei quella pena dopo che sono state cancellate diverse imputazioni che erano state avanzate in un primo tempo. Secondo il quotidiano Haaretz come parte dell’accordo la ragazza dovrà dichiararsi colpevole di quattro dei 12 capi d’imputazione di cui era accusata, tra cui aggressione e incitamento alla violenza. Dovrà inoltre pagare 5mila shekel di multa ( quasi 1200 euro). Di conseguenza la giovane attivista sarà rilasciata la prossima estate. Il processo della Tamimi che ha destato grande attenzione nei media internazionali – si è svolto finora a porte chiuse per volere del giudice secondo il quale il provvedimento viene di norma adottato “a protezione dei diritti dei minori”. Tamimi ha trascorso quattro mesi in detenzione finora e il suo arresto ha scatenato le critiche dei gruppi internazionali per i diritti umani e dell’Unione europea contro il sistema giudiziario israeliano per il trattamento discriminatorio dei minorenni palestinesi che osano sfidare la repressione in Cisgiordania.La Convenzione internazionale sui diritti dell’infanzia stabilisce che l’incarcerazione di un minore deve essere una misura di «ultima istanza» e deve avere una durata «più breve possibile». Amnesty International, dopo l’arresto di Ahed Tamimi, ha lanciato una petizione internazionale per il suo rilascio, firmata da oltre 1,7 milioni di persone. Per l’Ong israeliana B’tselem, il caso di Ahed è rappresentativo del ruolo delle corti militari minorili e del sistema che ogni anno sottopone «centinaia di minori palestinesi allo stesso scenario».

Ahed Tamimi, la résistante Palestinienne

Ahed Tamimi, devenue une icône de la résistance contre l'occupation israélienne pour avoir giflé deux soldats elle a passé huit mois passés en prison. La résistance populaire pacifique est la meilleure arme pour faire face à l'arrogance de l'occupation et montrer sa barbarie au monde.  

Tout a commencé quand ...

Deux soldats Israéliens, appuyés sur un muret, dans la cour de sa maison à Nabi Saleh, très vite les deux jeunes filles leur demandent de quitter les lieux puis leur donnent des coups de pied et de poing et des gifles. Ahed Tamimi avait été arrêtée le 19 décembre 2017, quelques jours après avoir été filmée dans une vidéo devenue virale sur internet. Les Israéliens eux considèrent en revanche que l'adolescente est instrumentalisée par sa famille, la jeune fille ayant déjà été impliquée auparavant dans une série d'incidents avec des soldats, dont les images avaient fait le tour du monde. La veille, deux Italiens et un Palestinien ont été arrêtés après avoir peint le visage de l'adolescente aux longues boucles blondes sur le mur de séparation construit par Israël en Cisjordanie.

Maintenant, il est temps de regarder au-delà de l'icône, au-delà du symbolisme, pour comprendre la véritable nature de la lutte du peuple palestinien, car Ahed Tamimi ne sera libre et ne vivra dans la dignité que lorsque tous les Palestiniens vivront dans la dignité. Un jour, nous venions d’évoquer le mouvement BDS (Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions : l’appel palestinien au boycott complet d’Israël sur le modèle d’un appel similaire en Afrique du Sud), et j’ai indiqué à mes étudiants que, tout au long des années 1980, pendant la lutte contre l’apartheid, les militants sud-africains à Londres projetaient une image géante de Nelson Mandela sur les façades de l’ambassade d’Afrique du Sud – commodément située face à Trafalgar Square, place célèbre pour ses rassemblements politiques et ses mouvements de protestation. Elle mérite absolument l’admiration et l’attention qu’elle reçoit, tandis qu’elle languit derrière les barreaux d’une prison israélienne, « coupable » d’avoir défendu le caractère sacré de sa maison. Après près de trois mois de détention et plusieurs reports de comparution, le procès d’Ahed a commencé le 9 mars, à huis clos. L’important, c’est que le monde entier regarde de toute façon ce qui est en train de se passer, car cette jeune femme est devenue le symbole d’un peuple tout entier. Ahed nous rappelle en effet qu’elle ne livre pas là un combat personnel.

Son frère d’armes, son cousin Mohammed, qui a reçu une balle dans la tête, a été battu jusqu’à ce qu’il avoue s’être blessé en tombant de vélo. Ses deux parents, en fait, tout son village (Nabi Saleh) et les millions de Palestiniens de la Palestine historique, ainsi que la diaspora mondiale, souffrent des violations des droits de l’homme et du droit international palestinien commises par Israël. Des centaines d'enfants palestiniens restent derrière les barreaux et ne bénéficient d'aucune attention Ahed Tamimi avait 16 ans au moment de son arrestation. Condamnée à huit mois de prison le 21 mars à l'issue d'un accord dit de « plaider coupable », l'adolescente a fêté ses 17 ans en prison. Sa cousine avait elle été libérée en mars. Ahed Tamimi s'est vu infliger une peine presque aussi lourde que le soldat israélien Elor Azaria condamné à neuf mois pour avoir abattu un assaillant palestinien blessé. L'adolescente et sa mère ont été libérées trois semaines en avance, une pratique fréquente du fait de la surpopulation des prisons, selon son avocate. Ahed Tamimi a été harcelée sexuellement par un interrogateur israélien, selon son avocate Sur les images vidéo d’un interrogatoire, un officier israélien dit à Ahed Tamimi : « Tu as les yeux d’un ange ». L’avocate de l’adolescente dénonce l’absence d’officier femme lorsque sa cliente était interrogée. L'avocate d'Ahed Tamimi a accusé un interrogateur israélien d’avoir harcelé sexuellement la jeune Palestinienne de 17 ans, arrêtée en décembre dernier dans sa ville natale du village de Nabi Saleh, en Cisjordanie occupée, pour avoir giflé un soldat israélien devant une caméra. Gaby Lasky a déposé une plainte auprès du procureur général israélien lundi, affirmant que l'un des interrogateurs avait interrogé Tamimi d'une manière inappropriée, en particulier compte tenu de son statut de mineure, et a inclus des remarques sur son apparence. Gaby Lasky a décrit le comportement de l'interrogateur, officier de l'unité de renseignement militaire Aman, comme une « violation flagrante de la loi », qualifiable de harcèlement sexuel. L’avocate s'est plainte à deux reprises au procureur général, mais aucune enquête n'a été ouverte sur le comportement des enquêteurs des services de renseignement israéliens à l'époque. Un porte-parole de l'armée israélienne a déclaré mercredi au site d'information hébreu Ynet qu’une enquête avait été ouverte sur cette affaire. Gaby Lasky a dénoncé le fait que, malgré son âge, Tamimi a été interrogée simultanément par deux hommes, sans la présence d'une femme officier dans la pièce ou d'un professionnel spécialisé dans l'interrogation des mineurs. Cela prouve que le système d'application de la loi porte atteinte aux droits des mineurs palestiniens. Gaby Lasky, avocate Alors que les forces israéliennes doivent présenter une femme lors d’un interrogatoire de femmes, d’anciennes prisonnières palestiniennes ont affirmé à Middle East Eye que les policières n’étaient pas toujours présentes et servaient souvent de couverture pour les abus verbaux et physiques pendant les interrogatoires. Tamimi avait 16 ans lorsqu'elle a été arrêtée pour avoir giflé un soldat israélien qui ne voulait pas quitter le domicile de sa famille, le jour même où les forces israéliennes ont tiré une balle en acier recouverte de caoutchouc sur son cousin Mohammed Tamimi, âgé de 15 ans. Son procès a bénéficié d'une couverture médiatique internationale et des groupes de défense des droits de l’homme, dont Amnesty International, ont fait campagne pour sa libération. Malheureusement de jeunes filles meurt sous les balles de l'occupant Israélien, parfois pour des raisons inconnus. Israël a oublié que ces ressortissants juif fut il y a 70 ans l'objet d'un génocide. Il se rendent aujourd'hui coupable de colonisation, d'expulsion et d'assassinat de Palestinien. Il parait que critiquer leur politique et passible de condamnation, ... Ben moi, David SCHMIDT, journaliste indépendant, je le dis haut et fort, aujourd'hui c'est Israël qui tue impunément, isole et laisse mourir de faim des milliers d'habitants Palestiniens, tout cela pour leur piquer leur terre.

Get to Know the Team: Meet Gabi

In the past year, the SCY/PAACT team has grown in many ways. We hope to familiarize partners with who is on the team and what they do – in the hopes of making SCY better conveners for community organizations. 

1) Hi Gabi! Thank you for taking the time to share a bit about yourself. Can you introduce yourself and tell us a little about your background?

HI! My name is Gabi, I am the newest full-time staff member with SCY, but I started as a graduate level intern in June of 2018. I was born in California but have lived on the South Side of Chicago for as long as I can remember. I am an alum of three CPS schools, graduated from Whitney M. Young Magnet High School (Go Dolphins!). I went to The University of Iowa for undergrad where I majored in Health and Human Physiology with a concentration in Health Promotion and a minor in Spanish. From there I went on to graduate school at the University of Illinois at Chicago where I earned my Master’s in Healthcare Administration in May of 2019. Prior to working with SCY I worked with children as a counselor and later as the site director of the Hyde Park JCC Summer Camp. Through that experience I found out I wasn’t destined to be a teacher, but that I did want to contribute to making sure every child in Chicago had the chance at a healthy happy life 😊.

2) What do you do every day at SCY?

My days at SCY vary. As the program assistant I do a lot to support the staff on our team. I order supplies, update our website, help Kirstin prep for trainings and quarterly meetings, I helped with intern onboarding and management, but I work on whatever projects the staff needs help with.

3) What has been your favorite training or quarterly meeting?

I have two favorite trainings. The first was Saleh Freedom’s training on Human trafficking, I didn’t know much about human trafficking initially and I felt not only informed but more equipped to identify people who may be victims of trafficking and what to do in those cases. The other training was Becoming a Man’s (BAM) training on healthy masculinity. This was a great chance to learn about some of the work BAM does, while also learning about ways to model and encourage healthy masculinity.

4) What struggles do you encounter while trying to make an impact in the community?

I don’t know if it’s just the time we’re living in, but one of this issues I struggle with when it comes to making an impact in the community is the sheer volume of problems that need to be addressed. There is a plethora of issues I’m passionate about and sometimes just the number of problems in the news on any given day feels daunting. I remind myself sometimes to try and look past  the trees so I can see the whole forest, and that many of the problems are entwined so any efforts are helpful.

5) How do you keep your energy up in the typical work week?

I try to avoid caffeine, so to keep my energy up I try and workout after work!

“Mi felicidad no está completa porque tengo hermanas que permanecen en prisión”, pronunció la joven palestina Ahed Tamimi

cuando este domingo recuperó la libertad luego de permanecer casi ocho meses encarcelada tras ser condenada por un tribunal militar israelí.

Tamimi, convertida en un símbolo de la resistencia palestina a la ocupación, fue juzgada después de que se conociera un vídeo en la que abofetea a soldados israelíes que habían ingresado a Nabi Saleh, el pueblo de Cisjordania en donde vive toda su familia.

El traslado de Ahed desde la prisión israelí de Hasharon -situada en Even Yehuda, en el centro del Estado de Israel- hasta su casa estuvo marcado por los abrazos y besos de sus familiares. En Nabi Saleh, la bandera palestina fue izada para recibir a la joven, que puedo escuchar a los pobladores corear su nombre y vivar a la resistencia palestina.

“La resistencia continuará”, sintetizó la palestina de 17 años que despertó la ira de las fuerzas de seguridad hebreas, al mismo tiempo que en este último año recibió un fuerte apoyo internacional. Tamimi agradeció a quienes respaldaron su lucha y denunciaron los abusos a los que fue sometida dentro de la cárcel, a su vez que solicitó el respaldo para los casi seis mil presos políticos palestinos, de los cuales 291 son menores de edad.

Los defensores legales de Ahed lograron pactar su encarcelamiento a cambio de declararse culpable de cuatro de los 12 cargos de los que fue acusada: asaltar al soldado hebreo, incitar a la violencia y dos cargos más por perturbar el curso de las actividades del Ejército.

Por su parte, la abogada

Gaby Lasky, quien fue defensora de la joven palestina, declaró que “se ha demostrado que las razones de la detención son políticas y no legales”

y transmitió su preocupación por los peligros para Ahed si vuelve a participar en un manifestación.

Ahed, que nació el 30 de marzo de 2001, fue detenida el pasado 19 de diciembre cuando tenía 16 años al aparecer en un vídeo con su madre y su prima, también detenidas, en el que increpaban y se defendían de soldados israelíes en el patio de su casa de Nabi Saleh.

Ese día, la joven se acababa de enterar de que, una hora antes, un soldado israelí le había disparado una bala en la cabeza a uno de sus primos de 15 años, que vivía en el mismo barrio. El niño sobrevivió tras una operación compleja, pero quedó desfigurado y los médicos tuvieron que sacarle parte del cráneo.

Hija de una familia que realiza diversas actividades contra la ocupación, a los 11 años Ahed fue fotografiada enfrentando a un soldado israelí y también mordiendo la mano de uno de los uniformados, cuando intentaban llevarse a uno de sus hermanos.

En sus primeras declaraciones a la prensa, Tamimi expresó que “la ocupación será eliminada si los palestinos continúan la lucha”. A su vez, elogió la resistencia del pueblo palestino, en especial, de los residentes de la Franja de Gaza, a los que les pidió que mantengan la “unidad” y “solidaridad” para superar los ataques israelíes que se multiplican todos los días contra las manifestaciones de la “Gran Marcha del Retorno”. Ahed además denunció la reciente ley del “Estado-nación judío”, aprobada por el parlamento de Tel Aviv, a la cual calificó de racista. “Al Quds (Jerusalén) será la capital eterna de Palestina”, remarcó la joven.

Conforme a varios expertos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), con la detención de Ahed, Israel violó la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño.

El pasado miércoles, para conmemorar la liberación de Tamimi, dos artistas llegados de Italia pintaron el rostro de la joven en el muro de separación que Israel construyó en la ciudad palestina de Belén. Este sábado, soldados israelíes detuvieron a los artistas porque pintar en la pared está prohibido, según argumentó el Ejército hebreo.

El jueves por la noche, las fuerzas de ocupación también cerraron la entrada a Nabi Saleh, impidiendo la entrada y salida de residentes. Según fuentes locales recogidas por Middle East Monitor, un gran número de soldados se desplegaron en la aldea. Con menos de mil residentes, Nabi Saleh es una de las aldeas más pequeñas en la Cisjordania ocupada. Desde el año 2009, la aldea ha realizado manifestaciones semanales cada viernes, junto con una docena de aldeas en la ocupada Cisjordania en protesta contra las políticas de ocupación israelíes. La gran mayoría de la tierra del pueblo se encuentra en el “Área C”, que está bajo el completo control israelí.

Ahed Tamimi se transformó en el símbolo actual más fuerte de la resistencia palestina frente a la ocupación israelí. Su detención y procesamiento confirmaron, otra vez más, que el Estado de Israel aplica un plan sistemático de represión contra los palestinos y que su blanco predilecto son los más jóvenes. Pero Tamimi también es parte de la nueva generación que denuncia y lucha contra las políticas represivas de un Estado que erige la limpieza étnica como política oficial. Ahed, sus hermanas y hermanos, y los miles de jóvenes palestinos saben que en las calles de sus pueblos y ciudades es donde la fuerzas de ocupación israelíes deben ser detenidas.

The Palestinian teen filmed slapping an Israeli soldier gets eight months in jail

By Loveday Morris, Washington Post, March 21, 2018

JERUSALEM --Ahed Tamimi, the 17-year-old who became a Palestinian cause celebre after a video of her slapping an Israeli soldier went viral, was sentenced to eight months in jail on Wednesday after agreeing to a plea bargain.

The sentence includes the three months Tamimi has served since she was denied bail, according to her lawyer, Gaby Lasky, putting her release date in July.

The prosecution dropped eight of the 12 charges against Tamimi, including separate accusations of stone throwing. She pleaded guilty to four charges, including assault of a soldier, reduced from an earlier charge of aggravated assault.

Tamimi, already a prominent Palestinian child activist dubbed “Shirley Temper” by some Israeli media outlets, was catapulted to even greater fame by the video and her subsequent arrest. Jewish American comedian Sarah Silverman, actor Danny Glover and National Football League player Michael Bennett are among those who called for her release.

After the plea bargain was presented to the judge, Tamimi addressed the court.

“There is no justice under the occupation,” she said, according to a news release from the campaign organized to free her.

The judge of the military court earlier decided to close the proceedings to the news media and other observers amid predictions that Tamimi’s trial would raise her profile further and draw heightened attention to the detention of minors in Israel. He argued that holding the trial in secret would be in the best interests of the teenager, though her family and lawyer said it was not.

“After the court decided to keep the trial behind closed doors, we understood she wasn’t going to receive a fair trial,” Lasky said.

The prosecution had listed 41 potential witnesses, meaning that Tamimi would have to stay in prison during a lengthy trial that probably would have stretched longer than the sentence agreed to in the plea bargain, Lasky said. She described the deal as the “best decision” available.

Tamimi’s mother, Nariman Tamimi, who faced charges related to filming the incident, also took a plea deal for eight months in jail. Tamimi’s cousin Nour Tamimi, who also appeared in the video, agreed to a plea deal for time served--just more than two weeks.

Lasky said that Israeli authorities were keen to make an example of Ahed Tamimi, whose family spearheads regular protests against Israeli occupation in their West Bank village of Nabi Saleh. “They want to deter other Palestinian youth from resisting occupation,” Lasky said.

The video of the Palestinian teen slapping and kicking the soldiers, who refused to react, caused a public outcry after it was screened on Israeli television. She was arrested shortly after the incident in a night raid on her home. The Israeli military filmed her being led out of her home in handcuffs.

Israel overhauled its military court system in 2009, creating separate military courts for minors that officials said were aimed at improving the protection of children.

However, a report by Israeli human rights group B’Tselem released on Tuesday, said the changes are largely cosmetic. In nearly all cases brought against Palestinian minors, the defendant ends up signing a plea bargain, said Yael Stein, research director for B’Tselem who wrote the report. It can take up to a year and a half from the time a minor is charged to the end of a trial, according to Stein. Most minors are held in jail, ramping up pressure on them to agree to a plea deal, she said.

“For the minor, they are in detention. They think, if I confess I’ll get a lighter sentence. There are real incentives for the minors to sign,” she said. “Usually parents prefer plea bargains so they know their children are coming home.”

There are 356 Palestinian minors in detention, according to the group.
