IMC Newsblast - Palestinians under seige

"PALESTINIANS
UNDER SIEGE"
Compiled by the Indymedia News Blast Team
IMC Palestine: 
 http://jerusalem.indymedia.org
Breaking news - 4 April 2300 GMT:
The week-long
siege continues with even more casualties and attacks
on civilians and journalists.  Six Palestinian citizens
of Israel
were severely beaten by Israeli police at a protest outside
the US
Embassy in Israel.  Nine injured internationals are missing
after
leaving in ambulances from the West Bank to meet embassy officials.
A
group of Italian politicians tried to enter Tel Aviv to put
pressure
on Israel to let the internationals leave Bethlehem; Israel
refused
to negotiate and kicked the delegation out of the country. Israel

refused a high-level EU delegation from any form of mediation
with or
without Arafat; but the US envoy will get to meet Arafat on
Friday.
Israeli helicopters, tanks, and
troops fight with armed Palestinians in Nablus. Israel has taken
over
1,000 prisoners.  Food and water is running out for everyone
under
the occupation.  Corpses are rotting in the streets. 
A newborn baby
died at the Dheishe UN Medical Clinic today because IDF soldiers

would not allow the ambulance passage to the hospital. 
All reporters
within the seige are being intentionally targeted by IDF snipers.

1. SUMMARY:
Protests erupted
when Ariel Sharon, Israel´s most agressive military
leader, came to power in 2000, and then brought 1000 armed Israeli

soldiers to Jerusalem´s holiest site.  The Israeli military
attacked
civilians and Palestinian suicide bombers retaliated. 
The siege
against the Palestinian people has been accelerating since the

breakdown of the Oslo peace accords two years ago. Over 300
Israeli
army officers and troops are refusing to participate in the

occupation.  Titular Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat,
is under
siege in his office; Egypt has suspended most diplomatic relations

with Israel, and other Arab countries might get involved following

massive Anti-Israel civilian protests.
Media coverage
of the Palestinain-Israeli conflict is shockingly
problematic, political, and uneven--especially in the United
States.
But hundreds of thousands of international readers are depending
on
Indymedia as a primary source for breaking news  -- articles,

photographs, audio and video -- from the occupied terroritories.
Many
of our journalists are being held captive or are under siege,
while
many other people who have access to the internet continue to
publish
to the IMC-Palestine site.  This newsblast contains essential
reading
to give those reports context and balance.

6.  THE
LAUNCH OF IMC-PALESTINE
The IMC-Palestine
website launched 28 March, 2002, brings Indymedia
innovation to the civil war. Using Indymedia´s innovative

"open-publishing" newswire, journalists and activists on the
scene
have had the ability to upload articles, images, audio, and
video,
directly and immediately to the Indymedia newswires, without
the
filters and controls of most media.  With very little publicity,
the
IMC-Palestine site has had phenomenal traffic, a testament to
the
poignancy of immediate, and authentic, grassroots reporting.

INDEPENDENT MEDIA
CENTER
The IMC is a decentralized
network of independent media makers,
organizers, and activists working to increase democracy and
social
justice by reporting events and producing information as acts
of
autonomy, resistance, and liberation.  This News Blast
was compiled
by a working group comprised of
individuals throughout the network.
The IMC was established
to cover the WTO protests in Seattle in
November, 1999.  Hundreds of media activists have since
set up nearly
sevently independent media centers around the world, including
sites
in Argentina, Belgium, Brasil, Chiapas, Canada, France, Italy,

Nigeria, Palestine, South Africa, Sydney, U.S. and many more.
