The relative media silence about the recent Israeli military onslaught upon the Balata refugee camp, near the West Bank city of Nablus, is playing straight into the hands of Israeli occupation politics.

(translation into Danish) As the world is recovering from a shock of surprise at Hamas' landslide victory in the Palestinian elections, reactions from around the globe are laying bare the immense contradictions, that are woven into the fabric of Israeli occupation. Nevertheless, it has also become clear that the Palestinian response to the current Israeli policy of continuing land confiscation, ethnic segregation and daily oppression is as solid as it is rational.
