ei: Who will save Palestine?: "These days the Hamas acting government and Fatah 'emergency government' are sapping the interest from any news story that might report on Israel's criminal acts inside Gaza and the West Bank.

Nothing that has happened in the last fortnight has stopped Israel in its tracks.

The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
