Videos of Egyptian police beating women and men Posted: 17 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST Al Masry al Youm reports: Internet users are circulating a video that appears to show members of Egypt's army assaulting an older female activist called Khadiga al-Hennawy. Hennawy was near the cabinet building on Qasr al-Aini Street on Friday when clashes erupted between protesters and security forces. In the video, two officers are seen dragging Hennawy by the hair. One lets go of her hair to kick her, before other officers join in, beating her with batons and dragging her out of view. Another video released Saturday shows police mercilessly beating a man and a woman, whose clothes they tear off. So macho. (h/t CHA)

Fatah declares "war on normalization" with Israel Posted: 17 Dec 2011 06:00 PM PST Palestine Press Agency quotes Al Quds al Arabi saying that Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah-dominated PA has decided to declare "open war" on all cooperation between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis, formal or informal. Fatah official Hatem Abdel Qader confirmed the report, saying "Yes...Let it be known to everyone that we will prevent any Israeli-Palestinian meeting in Jerusalem, and will try to thwart any Palestinian-Israeli meeting held in the Palestinian territories, whether in Jerusalem or in Tel Aviv", adding "There is formal approach we have in the Fatah movement to prohibit and prevent the holding of these meetings." The article says that activists from the Palestinian national factions in Jerusalem on Monday "foiled" the "Conference of the Israeli-Palestinian Confederation" at the Ambassador Hotel in the eastern part of Jerusalem, where the hotel management said that they could not guarantee the safety of the conference attendees because of threats. Speakers scheduled at the conference included Shlomo Ben-Ami, Sari Nusseibeh and Uri Avnery. Which side wants peace again? From reading the media, it is so hard to tell.

Video of entire Eichmann trial available Posted: 17 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Hundreds of hours of the Adolf Eichmann trial are available on YouTube. I just randomly chose a part where he is being cross-examined. It is chilling. Meanwhile, an exhibit showing artifacts from his abduction is going on display this month in Israel. (h/t Yoel)
