Lives on Hold – The right of birth and the right of return
By Aaron Lakoff
Toronto - March 1, 2005

On my last day in Palestine, just before leaving, I went back to visit one
of my favorite spots in Jerusalem. Located in the Western Wall plaza,
there is this place you can stand where the shining gold of the Dome of
the Rock arches ever so slightly over the holy wall. Seeing the two
religious sites juxtaposed against each other is breathtaking. It’s a

yet it’s depressing because they’re so far apart.

Interview: Brian Avery Returns to seek Justice

The following is an interview with Brian Avery, an American ISM activist
shot in the face by the Israeli Occupation Forces in Jenin in April, 2003.
When he was shot, Brian was assisting Palestinians who were suffering
from the effects of an imposed military curfew. He was wearing a bright
reflective vest, and was clearly unarmed.

Brian is now back in Israel to petition the Israeli Supreme Court to
launch a criminal investigation into the matter.

settlements, built from buildings where Palestinians have been violently
evicted, are illegal under international law. The army
maintains a constant presence in the city, and often turns a blind eye to
crimes committed by fundamentalist Jewish settlers. As a result of the
