2nd Updte on Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh and Compilation of Videos on Nakba Demonstrations

 PNN journalist Ghassan Bannoureh took the following video which documented
Mazin’s arrest yesterday:

The latest from the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem (USCG) is that Mazin
is being held in Ofer prison as a detainee, and a hearing is scheduled on 19
May 2011. They are aware of the many calls people made calling for Mazin’s
release. They said at this moment, any additional calls would not change
Mazin’s status. Regardless of that statement, I urge people to continue to
file complaint to President Obama and to the US State Department of the
ongoing discrimination against US citizens of Palestinian decent. Two other
US citizens were also detained with Mazin at Al-Walaja but were released at
1 a.m. this morning, while Mazin is continued being held. Let’s also
demand our government to stop supporting Apartheid Israel in our names and
demand justice for all Palestinian nonviolent protesters being detained.

The following compilation of videos, pictures and some articles on Nakba
Demonstration yesterday was forwarded from a friend and I include them here
for your information:

GAZA (IN FRONT OF ERETZ):
(I still don't know if and how many people were killed, last I heard, around
60 were injured, 15 seriously, and friends reported that army shot to
kill; also, I am not sure what the situation is now, I had heard that people
were staying in the buffer zone and that Israel had threatened with some
military action if they didn't move.
