Ahdut position paper about the Palestinian struggle
mashriq / arabia / iraq | indigenous struggles | policy statement Wednesday May 21, 2014 20:21 by Ahdut - (Unity)
Adopted on 25 April 2014 by the members of the anarcho-communist organization, Ahdut (Unity), active in Palestine/Israel
The Zionist colonization project, sponsored by the imperialist powers and at their service, has subjugated Palestine; it has persistently made every effort to displace the indigenous masses out of the area ruled by it, or at least to concentrate them in confined enclaves. A section of the Palestinian people evaded the efforts to expel them and became citizens of Israel, suffering discrimination by law and customary practice. The State of Israel persists in measures aimed at dispossessing them. Lately these measures are focused on the Prawer Plan for the Negev, which evokes the 1970s plan of Judaizing the Galilee, and the events of Land Day (30 March 1976). Another section of the Palestinian people, in the territories occupied in 1967, live for the most part under military rule. The Israeli military authorities have much greater freedom of action in displacing the Palestinians or concentrating them in enclaves than is possible inside Israeli sovereign territory. As well as gradually seizing most of the Palestinians land, Israel obstructs their individual and collective economic development; denies their freedom of movement, assembly and speech; and suppresses by various means their resistance to the ongoing colonization and occupation.

However, it should be noted that in Palestine there are not two separate economies: the Palestinians in the 1948 areas are fully integrated in the Israeli economy as discriminated wage workers and as residents of towns and villages suffering from under-development; and a considerable part of the Palestinians in the West Bank work for Israeli owners or for local business enterprises, which sell their produce in the Israeli market whether in the settlement projects in the West Bank or in the Israels official sovereign territory.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle continues with lower intensity: last Friday only 3 Israelis cam... 22:10 Sun 07 Sep 0 comments
The 50-day war on Gaza ended, after Israel begged for a ceasefire and yielded to major demands from Hamas (some kept in secret even from Israeli government ministers). A majority of Israelis admit that Israel did not win the war but with difficulty admit that Hamas had the upper hand. Ministers passed two weeks ago a classified Cabinet document containing a proposal to place an international force in Gaza, which may mean the end of Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip and the opening of the Ghetto... and may be a precedent to what could be the end of the occupation of the West Bank). In Israel, the "radical" left is back to "normal"... though many more activists are contemplating joining the comrades who had already lost hope and emigrated. It seems the international pressures of the imperial powers and the advances of the boycott movement are bringing the end of the 1967 occupation sooner than expected. [Italiano]
Palestine-Israel, The war assault on Gaza failed to bring the expected results and even back fired* 14:09 Sun 24 Aug 0 comments
The war Israel started with the Hamas was intended to keep it weaker but independent of the west bank authority. A month and a half and Israel cannot stop the Hamas firing of rockets on Israel. The Hamas raised its demand about the lifting of the siege (closer) and the Israeli prime minister failed go get the support of his coalition for the needed compromise. To diminish the losses and to save face Israel with US backing are passing the decision to the UN security council the Israeli ruling elite evaded successfully so many years. The mounting economic pressures create cracks in the Israeli ruling elite and even the populist coalition party head - the foreign minister, start to promote the end of the 1967 occupation. And the joint popular grass root struggle continue - within Israel at the Arkib Bedouins as focus, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Neby Saleh, Ni'ilin, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrah, South Hebron Hills. [Italiano]
Palestine-Israel, Israel attack on Gaza ending with a defeat of its arrogant power show* 19:34 Tue 12 Aug 0 comments
Israel started the attack on the Hamas to sabotage the Hamas compromise with the west bank authority, and restore a weakened Hamas independent rule in the Gaza strip. Hamas compromise was a response to Egyptian closer intended to dismantle the Hamas. The failed Israeli attack will force it to contribute its share to significantly open the closer of the border between Israel and the Gaza strip which was till the attack based on the bare minimal on the margin of humanitarian catastrophe. Whatever the details of the new cease fire and arrangements, the failure of Israel vicious assault to stop the Hamas from firing rockets on Israel is a significant "game changer". The failed attack on Gaza and the continuing popular struggle in the west bank are hastening the international pressures to end the occupation of the West bank and the closer of the Gaza strip.
Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle in turbulent times* 21:09 Sun 03 Aug 0 comments
The joint struggles in the locations of regular weekly activities of Bil'in, Ni'lin, Ma'sara, Sheikh Jarrah, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, Western Hills of Hebron, in the weekend actions and some in between, have focused on the war on Gaza as the more obvious aspect of the occupation. Today, it seems Israel has failed to establish a weakened but independent power in the Gaza Strip - mainly because the atrocities by Israel have failed to recruit international pressure on Egypt to open the siege of Gaza enough. It seems there will be a revival of the accord between Hamas and the West Bank Palestinian Authority that Israel has invested so much effort into sabotaging. It is not clear yet what the the details will be and how the latest Israeli atrocities will influence pressure from the imperial powers on Israel to end the 1967 occupation. Latest news: Israel has started to retreat its forces from the Gaza Strip with no resolution and with rockets still being fired on Israel. [Italiano]
Palestine-Israel: The never ending struggle to block the advance of the Zionist settler colonialist ... 20:21 Mon 23 Jun 0 comments
The last dozen days the Israeli PR machine harp on the lot of the kidnapped three young settlers to justify its efforts to prolong the intense pressure on the Palestinians to "willful" transfer. They pretend to use the kidnapped youth to Cripple Hamas - They really use both in a desperate effort to ignite the third intifada. Bringing 700 soldiers to the less than 2000 inhabited small village Na'ama (bordering Bil'in) to arrest two Hamas activists is just a ridiculous story no one will believe. As the efforts to ignite the third Intifada failed, and the obstruction of the compromise between Hamas and Fatah failed too (one of the most important pillars of the Israel divide and rule), the immanent pressure of world imperial power on Israel to end the occupation of 1967 war is nearing faster than ever. The joint struggle of the Israeli radicals together with Palestinian partners keep the subject in the center of world media. [Italiano]
Palestine-Israel, The (joint) struggle and the changes in the international arena start a new power ... 09:57 Wed 11 Jun 0 comments
The Palestinian non-armed struggle is interwoven with the change in the region and world power dynamics to which popular opinion in the Western countries has contributed its share. The first significant successes of B.D.S. (to which the joint struggle contributes) and the fear of parts of the Israeli capitalist elite from a nearing landslide are threatening the status quo. Though efforts to transfer Palestinians within Israel and the occupied 1967 regions continue, the results of mounting international pressure is resulting in cracks within the Israeli capitalist ruling elite. The pressure for a two-state compromise was expressed in the call of nearly half of the parliament coalition of the government to chart the map of the two-state compromise. Even from the extreme right-wing faction a call was issued for an end to pressure on the Palestinians to "voluntarily transfer" and to formally annex the occupied areas of the West Bank into one Zionist hegemonic state with citizen rights to the Palestinians. [Italiano]
Palestine-Israel, joint struggle continues in spite of the low ebb after the Arab Spring lost steam* 16:20 Thu 07 Nov 0 comments
The Arab Spring seemed to accelerate the turning of the wheels of history immensely... but the momentum lost gradually and as much as the hope had risen so is the following passivity after the excitement dissipated. In the joint struggle of the anarchists against the wall and the popular comities we had our own surge when the joint struggle had it excitement of novelty and some victories, but it lost its momentum when the higher comity of the popular comities sailed to expand the popular struggle. When the excitement and surge ebb we can still find the company of comrades and lean together our shoulders on the wheels of history who turn to slow on their axes... and continue persistently the struggle (Tsumud). Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, Ma'asara, Sheikh Jarrah, South of Hebron Hills and more keep the flame of the joint struggle. [Italiano]
The separation fence of Bil'in come again to visit Tel Aviv 21:33 Sat 03 Feb 1 comments
This Saturday noon, about 20 people of the anarchists against the wall initiative brought again the separation fence of Bil'in to visit Tel Aviv. The North going lane of the Rothschild boulevards was blocked with razor wire spools tied to pillars of traffic signals on its two sides.
Palestine-Israel, Bil'in, The joint struggle continue - Friday, 9-6-06 demo 14:27 Sat 10 Jun 0 comments
It was not a few weeks period without the traditional Friday demonstration of the village comity against the separation fence and occupation, together with the Israeli Anarchists against the wall.... It was just weeks with no proper reports - sorry --- Ilan S.
Palestine-Israel, Bil'in, the traditional Friday joint demonstration 05:44 Sat 13 May 0 comments
This Friday demonstration was in reference to the coming Sunday hearing of the case of the separation fence cutting the majority of the lands of the village Bil'in (not robbed yet by previous acts of Israel) at the Israeli highest court of "justice". For this demonstration arrived about 40 Israeli activists recruited by the Anarchists Against The Wall initiative' 20 international activist, people from neighboring villages and Ramalla, and 20 media workers - Israelis, Palestinians, and from other parts of the world. Together with about hundred of people of Bili'in we started at noon the march on the road to the route of the separation fence. The march was ended like in the last previous demos at the entrance to the route of the fence and the way to the olive orchards on the other side of the fence.more >>

Wading through all the information about the ministerial expenses debate, Bill Turnbull and Susanna Reid turned their attention to innovation in the terms of smart metering and intelligent transport – both of which Digital Birmingham supports in the local area.

I am always interested in experiencing live and local music and while on my quest to fill my schedule for this weekend I came across the The Rose Ensemble who will be performing this Friday night at the Hibbing High School Auditorium....and now you're like what? Who? Let me fill you in.....
The Rose Ensemble is a group of musicians and singers based in Saint Paul. They do different performances from ancient time periods. They study the music and stories and try to bring to life the repertoire that spans over thousands of years and several languages.
This is something I have never seen or heard of before in my time here in the Northland and lucky us they will be making a stop here on their 8th Annual Greater Minnesota Tour: The Roots of Bluegrass.
The theme of this program is explained on their website as "Return to America's folk roots. Rousing hymns, Appalachian foot-stomping songs, Southern Harmony shape-note singing, and Shaker spirituals: the music that gave birth to bluegrass. "The Roots of Bluegrass" explores our country's musical heritage with close vocal harmonies, banjo, guitar, and fiddle."
The performance is at 7:00p.m. this Friday night with tickets only costing $12. It is sure to be a very interesting and different musical entertainment than we are used to so why not get the first hand experience this weekend with The Rose Ensemble.

As those flames devoured her building, Simoes grabbed Cameron, and looked for a way out. She opened the front door, saw thick smoke, and knew she was trapped.
"I ran all the way to the furthest bedroom in the apartment thinking that maybe I could wait for a firefighter. I looked out the window again, I realized there wasn't going to be any time to wait for a firefighter," she said.
And in those precious seconds, there was no time for being scared."At that point, I got up into the window and I put my legs out, and then I grabbed my son and I gave him a kiss. Told him I love him and then I jumped," Simoes explained.
She hit the ground hard, and broke her back, but she protected Cameron.
"When I fell, I broke my vertebrae so, I landed on my feet. But then I fell straight to the ground. He was perfectly fine. He didn't hit anything," she said.
She underwent surgery to have a rod put in her back Wednesday night.Heavy smoke could be seen pouring out of the building around 2 p.m., and part of the building's roof was burned away. The fire was so powerful, that flames spread to the woods behind the building and caused a brush fire. The deputy fire chief says the fire was so strong because it had a head start; it originated in the back of the building, initially hidden from view.

In an April press release, Community Memorial Healthcenter (CMH) announced that it had begun an assessment process to assist its Board of Directors and Senior Administration in short and long term strategic planning for the Healthcenter so that it can best meet the community's health care needs.
As is the case with many hospitals today, CMH must adjust to today's ever changing healthcare environment and plan for the future. Hospitals are now faced with increasingly challenging issues that include, among others, reduced reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers; changing physician practice patterns; increasing cost management pressures; and an increasing number of uninsured and indigent patients.
Several months ago, the CMH Board of Directors engaged Navigant Consulting, Inc., one of the nation's leading healthcare consulting firms, to conduct an independent, objective assessment of CMH's strategic, financial, and operational position.
Board chairman Wayne Parrish remarked, "Navigant has completed its initial assessment and has presented their findings to the Board of Directors. According to the Navigant report, 70 percent of the nation's hospitals are currently aligned in some way with larger systems and there are multiple models of affiliations available to hospitals, if the decision is made to affiliate. As the next step in the process, the Board has appointed a Special Steering Committee of its members to explore potential affiliations and partnerships that would enable CMH to continue to meet its commitment of delivering compassionate care and outstanding clinical services to our citizens."
The eleven members of the Steering Committee, appointed by Chairman Parrish and approved by the Board, are John Lee of Clarksville who will serve as the committee's chairman, co-chair Denny Hardee of South Hill, Tyler Howerton and Jerry Reynolds of South Hill, Cindy Pecht of Lawrenceville, Billy Wilkinson of Dundas, Wayne Parrish of Kenbridge, and CMH President and CEO Scott Burnette. Members of the medical staff serving on the committee are Dr. David Brown, Dr. Tony Adams and Dr. John Strunk. Chairman Lee remarked, "It is critically important to involve our communities early in the process and for us to understand what the community needs and wants from its local hospital as we evaluate options. Should the Board decide that a partnership or affiliation is in CMH's best interest and brings value to the communities we represent, we must find the relationship that is the best fit for our community, and most importantly, one that shares our culture, mission, vision and values." Lee explained that, in order to accomplish that goal, the Steering Committee would also establish a Community Advisory Committee composed of 20-25 recognized leaders from the communities that CMH serves to work with the Board's Steering Committee and provide its members with perspective and insight onthe community's healthcare expectations.
"Knowing the communities' expectations will be critical as the Board considers options thataddress today's challenges, while sustaining its community driven mission," stated Board Chairman Parrish.He added, "We all want what is best for our community, and the members of the CMH Board of Directors are dedicated to making sound and prudent decisions that will position CMH to best meet the healthcare needs of the people in our region now, and into the future. We will make every effort to keep the community updated and involved in the process," said Parrish. The Steering Committee of the Board is expected to complete its work sometime in the fall.

Civilization V: The Swedish Saga, part 5 (1951 A.D. to 1975 A.D.)
My friends! Gather 'round the fire and prepare to hear an epic tale that spans the entirety of human history! I'm in the middle of chronicling my progress in Civ V's Gods & Kings expansion, with a new entry every Wednesday. Last week, my Modern Era armies ousted the corrupt Danish crown, bringing all of the Norse people under the glorious, socialist rule of the Norse Democratic Union. War has broken out between the NDU and Greece, scourge of the Western world, as we race against time to stop their bid for total global domination. Read on, as the action rises to nuclear proportions!
Need to get caught up? Here's Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Senate DFLers should delay a vote scheduled for Wednesday on a new Senate office building until a legal challenge has been heard, the Senate's top Republican said Tuesday.
A hearing is set for next week on a suit filed by a former lawmaker that contends the authorization process for the building was unconstitutional.
"We think it is prudent to allow the court to at least have the opportunity to weigh in on this before we act," said Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, at a morning news conference at the Capitol.
The Senate Rules Committee, chaired by Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, is scheduled to vote on the design and budget for the project at a meeting Wednesday morning.
A spokesman for the Senate Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party majority said Tuesday that DFLers would respond to Hann's concerns in the course of Wednesday's meeting.
The project includes a $63 million building and $27 million parking ramp across the street from the Capitol in St. Paul. The building is meant to house senators displaced during and after the renovation of the state Capitol now underway.
"What it seems to me is that we're making a 100-year decision to solve a two-year problem," Hann said. He said none of the five Republicans on the Rules Committee will vote for the project, which he described as unnecessary and a "boondoggle."
"It's hard to escape that this is being done, without public input, to satisfy the interests of members of the Legislature," he said.
Gov. Mark Dayton, a DFLer, has said he supports the project but hopes to lower the price tag.
In addition to Senate Rules Committee approval, the project would need the OK from the House Rules panel, as well.

The achievement is a long-sought step toward harnessing the potential power of such cells to treat diseases. But the discovery raises ethical concerns because it brings researchers closer to cloning humans, and involves creating and then destroying human embryos for research purposes.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - They took the oath to serve on Friday and 4 of the 90 new Michigan State Police recruits sworn in yesterday at a graduation ceremony in Lansing will be sent to the Post in Coldwater. That's on top of the 4 new troopers who were added earlier this month to work out of Coldwater, which is the command post for detachments in Battle Creek and White Pigeon. MSP Director Colonel Kriste Kibbey Etue conducted the 124th Trooper Recruit School Graduation ceremony and said in total the MSP will graduate 180 new troopers this fiscal year with Governor Rick Snyder proposing the graduation of 107 more in Fiscal Year 2014, which begins on October First.
One of Friday's graduates, Brian George, is from Quincy. Trooper George was assigned to the Monroe Post. The beefed up State Police presence in Coldwater has provided a timely assist to law enforcement in the area in the aftermath of the Branch County Sheriff's Department being forced to lay off 75% of its road patrol deputies because of major cuts in county's 2013 budget.

The Americas in Comparative Perspective II: Contemporary Politics and Society
James Dunkerley (QMU)
The study of the western hemisphere as a whole offers a rich range of opportunities for comparative and inter-disciplinary study between and within the existing nation-states of the Americas as well as on a sub-regional plane. Popular acceptance of the USA as the sole "American" state remains strongly undergirded by the claims of "American Exceptionalism", many of which can usefully be tested through the comparative method with the rest of the continent. The sectoral divisions upheld by the Cold War concept of Area Studies not only sharply divided "American Studies" from those of Latin America but also excluded Canada, which represents a quite distinctive North Americanism, and the Caribbean, which powered the economic growth of modern Europe and continues to be a crucial archipelago. The prism of comparison permits an invaluable critical appraisal of traditional scholarly depictions of the Americas.
This course will address the contemporary issues of political economy, cultural identity, and international relations of the American continent as a whole, with a particular emphasis on the scholarly schools and genres that upheld theses of difference, sameness and conflict – Exceptionalism and dependency theory. It will open with a consideration of the distinct political and cultural elements of 'Americanism', both within the USA and beyond. Treatment of Latin American dependency theory will introduce students to a powerful but historically bonded explanation of differentiation in the continental political economy. This will be complemented by an appraisal of the distinct approaches towards indigenous peoples/Native Americans by the Anglo-and Hispano-American elites, consideration of nationalism in the Caribbean colonies in the second half of the 20th century, with an emphasis on the particular experience of Cuba. The equal claims for an "exceptionalist" experience for Brazil, the region's only Lusophone state and increasingly an international player, will introduce students to both cultural particularity and the challenge of understanding medium-powers in the modern system.
Since the 1980s the hemisphere as a whole has experienced significant political cycles from the 'New Right' Reagan administration to the 'New Left' of Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales. We review the 'New Left' perspective on these changes within and across Anglo and Spanish America Equally, the recent experience of intensive Hispanic migration to migration, whereby nearly one-sixth of the US population is of Hispanic descent, will be reviewed with an eye to demographic and cultural fissures in "American exceptionalism". Finally, the allied experiences of globalisation in the western hemisphere will be considered in the light of cultural, economic and environmental change, as witnessed in Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.
The module aims to provide students with the opportunity to undertake multi-disciplinary comparative analysis of one of the world's major politico-cultural regions. It will encourage and challenge students progressively to build, analyse and test the constituent features of one of the modern world's dominant phenomena – Americanism. The module will build familiarity with the comparative method – whereby sameness, similarity and difference are assessed from various deductive and inductive perspectives - through analytical practice and varied empirical objects. It will also break from the traditional scholarly parameters, including Canada and the Caribbean as core constituents of the hemisphere. Students will be expected to acquire a firm outline empirical knowledge of the modern evolution of the Americas as a whole as well as of the principal intellectual schools seeking to explain the commonalities and divergences in hemispheric patterns of development throughout the 20th century.
The overwhelming bulk of the assigned literature is in English and reflects both the mainstream and critical currents of North and Latin American historiography and social science. Students will not be expected to read Spanish, French or Portuguese, but knowledge of those languages will strengthen certain cultural aspects of the module, which has been designed as an interdisciplinary option, with no disciplinary prerequisites.

Stores Move Black Friday to Thanksgiving in a Nasty Conspiracy Against Moms
Are you one of those people who gets up at the crack of dawn on Black Friday and races to the stores to score as many holiday deals as you can -- even if you were up super-late on Thanksgiving?
I'll be the first to admit that Black Friday just isn't my thing, mainly because I can't take the lines or the crowds. But some people are pretty passionate about starting their holiday shopping before their turkey even has time to digest -- and that's why plenty of people are freaking out over the fact that Walmart is starting Black Friday on Thursday this year. Yes, Thursday, as in Thanksgiving, as in one of the only days out of the year that is reserved solely for spending quality time with family and friends. (WTF?)
Ok, so before you totally panic, it's not like they're opening their doors at 7:00 a.m. or anything that extreme. Black Friday at Walmart will officially kick off at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, you know, right about the time that most parents are trying to get their kids into bed for the night. (Isn't that convenient?)
You're probably thinking to yourself, well, I guess it's not really that big of a deal, because there are plenty of other places I can shop for holiday gifts than Walmart before the early birds beat me to the deals at 8:00 p.m. Right?
WRONG. Guess who else has joined the party? Toys R' Us. (Toys R' freakin' Us!!) Um, call me crazy, but given the fact that probably 99.99 percent of people who shop at Toys R' Us on Black Friday are parents -- doesn't opening during the dreaded "witching hour" seem kind of biased and unfair? I mean, moms have cooked and cleaned all day, and stuffed themselves so full of carbs, gravy, and assorted baked goods that their pants don't fit -- and now there's a chance that they may not be able to find everything on their kids' wish lists because they're not ready to get their shop on at 8:00 p.m.?!? (I smell a conspiracy here.)
As of today, it doesn't look like any other major retail chains have hopped on the 8:00 p.m. Thursday bandwagon. But something tells me that once more stores realize they're going to miss out on four good hours of people rushing through their doors who are DYING to fork their money over -- they'll probably wind up doing the whole Black Thursday thing too. Stay tuned.
Are you a Black Friday shopper? If so, do the Thursday store openings bother you, and will you head out early to shop?

I love Black Friday but with the change Im not sure I am going to go this year due to my hubby's work schedule.

dirtiekittieNovember 13, 2012 at 4:51 PM
i remember growing up as a kid, our thanksgiving meal was always early since it was so large (like 2pm). which meant my parents were bored stiff by around 7pm. lol we'd drive around, and i remember more than once my dad saying "if these stores were open right now..." lol
honestly, if that's your thing, knock yourself out. i do my black friday shopping online, and if i can't get it from one retailer, i'll find another. i haven't done "in-store" black friday shopping since i saw one mother give another mother a right hook for taking the last cabbage patch baby three years ago. never again.

purvisletsNovember 13, 2012 at 4:56 PM
I never go Black Friday shopping. I used to work retail on Black Fridays and nothing in my mind is worth the hassle that it brings. That being said, no one is forcing these people to go shopping on Thanksgiving night. Stay home! Enjoy your holiday with the kids. Shop the next day if you want to. But seriously, people getting all upset because these stores are opening earlier is a bit ridiculous. If fulfilling your shopping list requires that you brave the insane black friday masses then you are shopping wrong anyway. Is it really worth it to run, punch, shove, and fight to maybe save $10 on something you could have ordered online anyway?

Rushn311November 13, 2012 at 4:58 PMLuckily for me, we eat at someone elses house, so if I want to, I will just go after. My hubby will be home and can watch the kids, but I am actually not going out as far as I know.

hannahsmom238November 13, 2012 at 5:30 PM
It's never worth fighting the crowds so I don't go. I do feel sorry for the workers who have to cut their holiday short though.

Michele HallNovember 13, 2012 at 5:53 PMI think it's sad these people have to work on one of the few days retail stores are closed. I used to work retail and these people don't have much of an option to opt out of working those shifts if they want to keep their jobs. As a manager I pulled 16 hour days leading up to Black Friday and then the entire day of Black Friday which I think at that time was 5:30 am till 12am. I was spent to say the least.

PRIMA487November 13, 2012 at 5:56 PMYeah it sucks. I have to be at work at 8:45 thur.night,but I like the idea of getting it over and done.I'll be home by six in the morn.

AerisKateNovember 13, 2012 at 6:15 PM
I don't do black friday shopping. I feel badly for the employees who have to go in on Thanksgiving. If consumers didn't go on Thanksgiving night, stores wouldn't open. However, people will go as soon as they open, so the stores do it for profits. Target is another big chain that is opening on Thanksgiving.
- -- Nonmember comment from
Mrs. ClarkNovember 13, 2012 at 6:38 PMI don't do black friday. I put everything on layaway this year. Yes, im paying full price, but i get to go next week and pick everything up without the hassle.

^Why would you want too? When the software is available for Mac. And this stuff usually doesnt work in a virtual environment.
cpjr - Really, because I thought the jailbreak for 3.0 was only for windows. I don't want to lose access to cydia apps and ssh. If I upgrade through the standard way on my mac, how do I get cydia back on there? I've used PwnageTool exclusively up to now and had to reinstall cydia everytime I upgraded. Thanks for your help.
Winterboard doesn't work on 3.0
I can't remember exactly where I read this, but there was a really easy way to get MMS working on ATT without even calling them. Sorry for not linking to the original post/site, but here it is!
If you have an MMS-capable phone lying around, it's cake.
1. Pop your sim out of your iphone and put it in another phone (I used the Blackberry Curve 2)
2. Sent out a few text messages and made a few calls to my voicemail.
3. Signed onto att.com, accessed my account (once it registered I was using a blackberry), and switched my text messaging under plan features from the iPhone unlimited to the ATT unlimited.
4. Sent a few MMS on the blackberry.
5. Took the sim out and put it back into the iPhone.
Viola, MMS then worked for me. I also used a downloaded att-usa ipcc. Not sure if I can link to it, so just search for it on google. If you're on a PC, shift-restore and switch the file type to ipcc, and it updates in a breeze. After all this, MMS worked, and it was pretty dang fast.
And I could be wrong, but I think there currently is only the PC version.
so is there a way to send mms from a 2g iphone if im on t-mobile with 3.0 beta3
if you are on 10.5.6 you need to use a powered usb hub.
It doesn't matter if you use this QuickPWN!
I've installed it on my iPhone 2G and then jailbreaked with the QuickPWN and firmware 3.0 beta2 . It works great!
Use care when jailbreaking because if you install the wrong items, most of your items, including things like clock, settings, photos, etc will no longer launch. I had to restore to get functionality back.
The supervisors and managers that I spoke with state that they would lose their jobs if they enable it.
i have a 3g iphone on orange is under 2.2.1 if i quickpwn it to 3.0 beta do you still need the developers account or dose the jailbreak stop that.
is downgrading from 3.0 easy?
For those getting MMS working, I am curious. Does it use just texts or do you need a new MMS plan. The first is great, the latter means I would have been excited over nothing.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to iPhone and just wanted to ask a question.
I have an unlocked iPhone firmware 2.2 (original iPhone) unlocked and jailbroken running on T-Mobile.
My questions is, if I get any upgrades through iTunes or upgrade to 3.0 when it comes out, will that lock my phone?
Thank you.
You can avoid it by following the home page of this forum before upgrading as these people come up with some work around so that your iphone stays unlocked.
do i need to click activate if im running legal sim card
