7: Days after his deportation from the United States, the Palestinian activist and professor Sami Al-Arian discusses the end of his ordeal as the target of one of the most controversial prosecutions of the post-9/11 era. Sami was accused of ties to a militant group, but a Florida jury failed to return a single guilty verdict on any of the 17 charges against him. After prosecutors refiled charges, Sami chose jail time and deportation rather than face a second trial. For much of the three years following his arrest in 2003, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement and reportedly abused by prison staff under conditions Amnesty International called "gratuitously punitive." In a broadcast exclusive, Sami joins us from Turkey for his first broadcast interview since being deported. We are also joined by his daughter Laila Al-Arian, a Peabody Award-winning journalist based in Washington, D.C. (2015)

The Beatings of Palestinians (1988): This Week Thames Television Peter Gill

Gaza in 1988: Report follows how Israeli occupation forces beat to death two Palestinian teenagers, including a Christian, following Israel's dove Rabin's orders to smash the bones of native Palestinians. Bernard Mills, Director of UN Operations in Gaza in 1988: They come to people's homes ... and [Israeli soldiers] beat the people inside... The vast bulk of the cases there has been no arrest. They have gone in. They have beaten up the young people, often the entire family.

A national speaking tour featuring a South African reverend and Palestinian lawyer started off at the Palestine Center on Monday, 10 November 2008. The tour, sponsored by the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (www.endtheoccupation.org), draws on the parallels between the South African and Israeli systems of apartheid. Apartheid, according to the International Criminal Court, refers to “an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.”

Ms. Buttu and Rev. Makue shared their experiences living under apartheid policies in South Africa, Israel, and the West Bank. Rev. Makue discussed his role in the historic struggle there. Ms. Buttu gave a presentation using maps to demonstrate Israel’s mechanisms of control in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza.

Ms. Diana Buttu formerly worked with the Negotiations Support Unit of the PLO. She currently does media outreach with the Institute for Middle East Understanding and teaches at Birzeit University in Ramallah.
