• Fear Not
  19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir
  1. Crying Wolf So many people have circulated so many warnings of the forthcoming US-Israeli attack on Iran that it is hard to ignore them. A piece written by a few ex-spooks warning of a new round of war is one of these messages. In our view, spooks, ex or not, are not the most reliable people, and the CIA is not the best reference. However, this item fits with the dire predictions of Fidel Castro. It fits with the recent heating up of the Gaza and Lebanon borders. It fits with the (…)
• Utopia as Alibi: Said, Barenboim and the Divan Orchestra
  20 December 2009, by Raymond Dean
  As a classical musician involved in pro-Palestinian activism, I frequently encounter the assumption that I am an unconditional admirer of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (WEDO). My reservations on this score tend to produce shocked disapproval: How could I not enthuse about such an idealistic project, particularly since it was co-founded by the late Edward Said, a figure for whom I have frequently expressed respect and admiration? In truth, I have always been a little wary of Said’s (…)
• صدامات أم الفحم: نموذج أوَّلي لتصفية القضية
  28 آذار (مارس) 2009, بقلم د. عادل سمارة
  حتى لو بدأنا قراءة الصراع العربي-الصهيوني من مذبحة غزة، لكان ذلك كافٍ لرؤية الخطر المحدق والخطر القادم بتصميم من مختلف الأطراف الرسمية تجاه حق الشعب الفلسطيني والأمة العربية ومستقبلهما. وهو خطر ينقسم إلى مستويين وليس نقيضين: – في المستوى الأول مشروع صهيوني رقم (أ) بطرد فلسطينيي ١٩٤٨ إلى الضفة الغربية والأردن، وهذا ما تقبله الأطراف العربية الرسمية، دون إعلان، على أمل أن يكتفي الكيان الصهيوني بهذا ويمنح سلطة الحكم الذاتي ما يقارب دولة! – وفي المستوى الثاني، أن هذا الطرد هو مقدمة لطرد كل من (…)
• Why isn’t the PA supporting the Egypt uprising?
  2 February 2011, by Amira Haas
  Palestinian leadership has been careful not to support the uprisings, banning demonstrations in solidarity with the Egyptians; Palestinian television has virtually ignored the events in Egypt. By Amira Hass The Palestinian leadership has been careful not to support the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, and has banned demonstrations in solidarity with the rebelling peoples. Palestinian television has virtually ignored the events in Egypt. Dr. Mamdouh al-Aker, a 68-year-old urologist, (…)
• Israeli Economy for Beginners
  14 August 2011, by Gilad Atzmon
  We learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around. ‘How come?’ you may ask; besides maybe avocado, oranges, and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any (…)
• George Habash’s contribution to the Palestinian Struggle
  2 February 2008, by As’ad AbuKhalil
  I lived more than half of my life in the US and I never felt the alienation that I felt on the day I read George Habash, the Palestinian revolutionary who passed away last week, labeled as a "terrorism tactician" in a front page obituary in The New York Times. What do you do when they want to convince you that a kind and gentle man you met and respected as a person is a terrorist when you know otherwise? Do you quibble with their definitions to no avail? Do you go back and see how they wrote (…)

• En Israël, une association déterre le passé enfoui de plusieurs villages arabes rasés
  5 avril 2009
  Zochrot est une organisation israélienne unique : elle tente de retrouver les traces des villages arabes détruits lors de la création d’Israël en 1948, afin d’empêcher que leur souvenir ne disparaisse entièrement de la mémoire collective. « Nous avons posé plus de cent panneaux de marquage, tous ont été enlevés », déclare Eitan Bronstein, le directeur de Zochrot (Souvenir en hébreu), en parcourant les ruines de Simsim, un ancien village arabe proche de la bande de Gaza. « Je ne serais pas (…)
• La reconstruction de Gaza tributaire de la politique
  2 mars 2009
  Amertume et résignation : les deux termes résument l’état d’esprit de la délégation européenne appelée à participer, lundi 2 mars, à la conférence de soutien à l’économie palestinienne et à la reconstruction de la bande de Gaza, à Charm el-Cheikh, en Egypte. Après l’offensive militaire israélienne de trois semaines, cette réunion des donateurs présidée par l’Egypte et la Norvège réunira, outre l’Union européenne (UE), l’ensemble des bailleurs de fonds internationaux qui viennent en aide aux (…)
• Gaza, remember?
  19 April 2009, by Gideon Levy
  Alyan Abu-Aun is lying in his tent, his crutches beside him. He smokes cigarettes and stares into the tiny tent’s empty space. His young son sits on his lap. Ten people are crammed into the tent, about the size of a small room. It has been their home for three months. Nothing remains of their previous home, which the Israel Defense Forces shelled during Operation Cast Lead. They are refugees for a second time; Abu-Aun’s mother still remembers her home in Sumsum, a town that once stood near (…)
