Two interesting events Thursday 5 July * 7 - 8 PM sidewalk vigil in Tel Aviv protesting the anti-Hebron play being put on by HaBima and Cameri whose objective is clearly to present Hebron in a bad light as a frightening place full of death that is best abandoned. 7 Saadia Gaon Street, call Sara for particulars 03-5324338 0504-088754. This is a police-authorized protest event. * 1 PM important trial in Jerusalem -- pertaining to the right of self-defense in small Yesha communities, in particular if Palestinian men wander close to the settlement and seem to have no business there, what are the residents of the settlement entitled to do, can they keep the Palestinian strangers away although these strangers have not started shooting yet? On trial: the Halamish brothers, both members of their yishuv's official defense team ("kitat konenut"). Courtroom of Judge Mussia Arad, Mechozi (District) Court, 40 Salach-a-Din St., Jerusalem. Make sure there is no change in the time (which happens frequently) by calling Dani Halamish, one of the 2 brothers, at 0544342307. Reminder: Your lawyer friends must vote on Tuesday 10 July. The head of the Lishkat Orchei ha-Din will be determined in this final round. Either Yuri Gai-Ron, the Meretz-flavored candidate, or the mildly right-wing/traditional candidate Ilan Bombach, will win. Voter participation is usually unbelievably low, so if each of us pleasantly reminds one or two lawyers -- this can easily -- easily -- make the difference between a win and a lose. Lawyers: vote in any courthouse, in many, many locations all over the country. Call or email your lawyer acquaintances right now before you forget. Tuesday 10 July is D-Day. Thank you. |
