The #BattleOfJenin started on #ThisDayInHistory in 2002, during the #SecondIntifada. 52 #Palestinians were killed, including civilians, and 23 #Israeli soldiers. 140 buildings were demolished by armoured bulldozers, and emergency workers were not allowed in after fighting ended.

Yamas fighters walked into enemy cities in disguise, hunted suicide bombers, and saved lives no one knew were at risk. This book tells their story.

Once the #SecondIntifada turned violent in the face of state repression, #Hamas let loose a series of horrific attacks on civilians, like on #ThisDayInHistory in 2003, with the #HaifaBus37Bombing. 17 Israelis were killed, 53 wounded, with many of them #UniversityOfHaifa students.

The #SecondIntifada began nonviolently, but by design media focussed on things like #ThisDayInHistory in 2002, when #PFLP set off a nail-studded suicide vest in a shopping mall in the illegal #WestBank settlement #KarneiShomron, killing three teenagers & injuring 27 other people.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2004, #YasserArafat, long-time head of the #PLO, died in a suburb of Paris. The #Palestinian leader had fallen ill in October and was taken to France for medical care. In the years prior he was a virtual prisoner in #Ramallah due to the #SecondIntifada.

Édifiant de revivre ce moment journalistique, ce moment de journalisme de guerre !
Aussi assez dingue de voir les autres reportage, ça nous ramène loin...

Jamal al-Dura : « Le sang de Mohammed n’en finit pas de couler »

Il y a vingt-cinq ans, le 30 septembre 2000, Mohammed al-Dura mourait dans les bras de son père, tué par des balles israéliennes, derrière un cylindre de béton, à un carrefour de la bande de Gaza. Ce père, Jamal al-Dura, vit toujours dans le camp d’Al-Bureij. Mediapart a pu le joindre et l’écouter.

>> He can't say Israel didn't announce in 2005 that it was going to raze Gaza

Are you not aware of what happened between 2000-2005 in #Gaza?

#SecondIntifada

Or are you ok with what happened because #Jewish lives don’t matter?

As happened 30 and 50 years before, in the months after #CampDavid and well into the #SecondIntifada, the rhetoric was as militant as ever, and triumphalist too.

Moderates held that a #controlledOutbreak of #violence could improve the #Palestinian position in any future negotiation 🙄

Less-moderate voices hoped that violence could replicate #Hezbollah’s success in forcing a full #Israeli withdrawal from #Lebanon without Israel receiving anything in return
