JERUSALEM, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Washington has condemned as terrorism the killing of a Palestinian by suspected Jewish settlers, in sharpened language that appeared to reflect U.S. frustration with surging violence in the occupied West Bank under Israel's hard-right government.

Israeli police detained two settlers in Friday's incident near Burqa village. According to Palestinians, they were part of a group that threw rocks, torched cars and, when confronted by villagers, shot a 19-year-old dead and wounded several others.

Helping Palestinians in need is not 'terrorism'; they are the victims of Israeli terrorism​

I know none of the details of the arrest of Palestinian Amin Abu Rashid and his daughter Israa in Holland recently. I do know, however, that the track record of European governments in levelling allegations of "funding terrorism" against Palestinian-European organisations over the past twenty years or so has been abysmal. In almost every case, when taken to court the authorities have lost the legal argument.

Will this happen again with Abu Rashid and Israa? Time will tell, but what is interesting is that it introduces to the world another no doubt well-funded "Israeli activist group", Ad Kan.

It is well known, of course, that all allegations of "terrorism" and "funding Hamas" arise from "intelligence" shared by Israel and its propaganda groups in Israel and abroad. When the charity of which I was chair of trustees for almost 25 years, Interpal, was declared to be a "specially designated global terrorist entity" by the US Treasury in 2003, our name was simply one of a number of organisations and individuals on a list supplied by the Israeli foreign ministry for George W Bush to rubber stamp.

Gaza Palestinian-Americans urge Washington to include them in Israel visa deal

US passport holders with Palestinian papers and families in Gaza are urging Washington to ensure they are treated equally under a reciprocal deal with Israel intended to ensure visa-free travel for American and Israeli citizens, Reuters reports.

Israel, facing a 30 September deadline to qualify its citizens for visa-free admission to the United States, said it has loosened access through its main airport and at the Occupied West Bank's boundary for Palestinian-Americans, allowing more than 2,000 people to cross into or through Israel.

US State Department officials have said the Visa Waiver Program must apply to all American citizens, including those in Gaza, but a number of Palestinian-Americans with Gaza identity papers have said they have been prevented from entering Israel.

"As a Palestinian with a Gaza ID, I was disappointed it discriminates against people like me. We are specifically excluded from benefiting from this program," Hani Almadhoun, a Palestinian-American visiting family in Gaza, told Reuters.

Israel no longer serves US interest, says ex-senior White House official

American support for Israel no longer serves strategic US interests, says Steven Simon, Washington's former National Security Council senior director for the Middle East and North Africa. Simon, who directly managed the Israel-Palestine file, served under the administration of former US President Barack Obama. He urged the US to reconsider its relation in a new book titled 'Grand Delusion: The Rise and Fall of American Ambition in the Middle East'.

Simon advocates for a fundamental revaluation of the US-Israel relationship, while arguing that American support for Israel no longer serves the strategic interests of the US. According to details of the book reviewed by Haaretz, Simon likens the current situation to "empty-nest syndrome," suggesting that the US finds it difficult to let go of its long-standing support for Israel.

Over the decades, US policy in the Middle East has remained largely unchanged across different administrations. However, with Israel facing a crucial turning point in its own democracy, relations with Palestinians, and potential normalisation with Saudi Arabia, US policy in the region, which has been centred around Israel, needs to be reconsidered, Simon argues.

Israel is an apartheid state, so why did an EU diplomat refuse to say so?

Outgoing EU Envoy to the occupied West Bank and Gaza Sven Kuhn Von Burgsdorff attracted the wrong sort of attention when he paraglided off Gaza's coast last month, purportedly promoting a promise of...

www.middleeastmonitor.com

The same can be said of the simplistic view that Von Burgsdorff expressed regarding the obstacles to Palestinian unity. "Both Hamas and Abbas's Fatah [party] seem to believe that they can still ride this out, putting their narrow partisan interest before the public good." But does Von Burgsdorff not remember that Hamas won the 2006 democratic election but was not recognised as the legitimate government because the international community's plan for a puppet authority in Ramallah went awry? It is not merely an impasse between two parties, but a political divergence in which the international community invested heavily in Abbas and the PA to prevent Palestinians from exercising their own political will. Abbas's own mandate, by the way, was supposed to end in 2009.

US watches as Israel downgrades murder charge in settler 'terror attack'​

Israeli police downgraded a homicide charge on Friday against a Jewish settler suspected of killing a Palestinian in what the United States has described as a "terror attack."

A new remand request filed by police, a copy of which was obtained by Haaretz and shared with Reuters, showed Yehiel Indore was accused of "deliberate or depraved-indifference homicide" in the August 4 shooting of 19-year-old Qusai Jamal Ma’atan.

But unlike in previous remand requests in the case, he was no longer accused of acting out of "racist motivation" - an addendum which, under Israeli law, gives courts latitude to impose harsher punishment in the event of a conviction.

Washington, whose traditionally close ties with Israel have become strained, has described the incident as a "terror attack by Israeli extremist settlers."
