By Iqbal Jassat
The minutes of a meeting of the Jewish Agency Executive on 12 June 1938 records a chilling statement made by David Ben-Gurion:
“I am for compulsory transfer; I do not see anything immoral in it”.
We call on the world community of progressive peoples to do all within their power to mobilise for intensified action… COSATU

The reason for the detention of two South Africans in Uganda would only be known after the SA High Commissioner there has visited them, hopefully on Monday, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said that so far no charges had been put to the two relief workers, and further information and decisions on a course of action would only be known once this visit had taken place.
Mufti Hussain Bhayat and Haroon Saley were detained last week during a stopover at Entebbe International Airport in Kampala.
Uganda’s New Vision online newspaper said they were taken in for questioning by a joint anti-terrorism task force. However their family’s lawyer Yousha Tayob said he had not received any firm reason for their detention.
The Muslim Judicial Council is concerned that the two may be the subjects of Islamophobic profiling in the wake of an international anti-terror crackdown. – Sapa

Israel’s Separation Wall was breached today near the West Bank village of Deir alGhussoun, when Palestinian, Israeli and international demonstrators who intended to march to lands that were left isolated behind the Wall, managed to break open one of the barrier’s gates.
The demonstrators managed to break the lock on the gate by rocking it back and forth, despite the presence of soldiers, who shot rubber-coated bullets and teargas at the protesters. One demonstrators was lightly injured after being struck with a rubber-coated bullet in the leg.
