| When Political Pessimism Joins Economic Development |

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Immediately after the conclusion of the nuclear summit in Washington, U.S. President Barack Obama declared that he had no great hopes of achieving any progress in the peace process, yet he wished that Israel would sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. He is pessimistic with regards to the peace process while hoping that Israel would sign the NPT. No further pressure would be exerted, and no sanctions could be imposed on Israel.This will leave Israel free to carry.....

| Totally Useless Mid-East Peace Process |

Monday, April 12, 2010

Before we can have peace between Israel and Palestine we need peace between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Then we need peace between President Mahmoud Abbas and the Gaza Strip. Then between Fatah and Hamas. Maybe we are going about this the wrong way.
Sa'ib 'Ariqat, the leading Palestinian peace negotiator, said recently to Ali Sawafta writing for Reuters "..it appears that all the consultations that have happened with the Israeli government and the American.....

| An Opportunity the U.S. Administration Should Not Miss |

Ten months ago, U.S. President Barack Obama delivered his notorious speech in Cairo University calling for peaceful and constructive outreach with the Islamic World. The Palestinian issue and the two-state solution, based on the creation of a Palestinian state that would live in peace alongside Israel were at the heart of his speech. Obama demanded a full freeze of settlement construction in the West Bank, East Jerusalem included, as a way to facilitate the revival of the.....

The recent aggression by Israeli security forces targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque and the worshipers inside it, and resulted in injuries among the worshipers represented an escalation that continued unabated in recent weeks.
Such attacks reflect hostile intentions and a persistent attitude to expand the conflict, since the holy shrines under attack are not merely Palestinian, but they belong to the Arab Islamic world as well.
The seriousness of Palestinian, Arab and Muslim reactions toward the Israeli officialdom and.....

| Stop Mutual Incitement |
by Ibrahim Deibes on
Thursday, February 18, 2010

Palestinians felt optimistic with the positive atmosphere created by the visit of Nabil Shaath, a Fatah leader, to Gaza, and his meetings with leaders from Hamas and other Palestinian factions.
Several satisfactory signs emerged with regards to the developments that might lead to ending the division, and achieving reconciliation - a crucial public demand, especially at this fateful stage.
Yet anyone following the statements and declarations of some leaders of both factions, feels that incitement campaigns are still.....

If the reports published recently that U.S. envoy to the region George Mitchell did not bring with him American guarantees for the benefit of the Palestinians prove to be true, and that he told his French prolocutors that the U.S. could not provide guarantees that would be unacceptable to Israel - if these reports are confirmed, then nothing has changed during the weeks and months that passed since the last visit of the U.S. envoy.
The only change.....

| A year to Israeli aggression: There must be accountability and reconstruction |
by Mohammed Shaker Abdallah on
Thursday, December 31, 2009

One year ago, Israeli planes roared over the Gazan skies launching destructive raids on residential buildings and public and private facilities all over the strip.
Their first target was the courtyard of the police complex where hundreds of officers were celebrating their graduation. Nearly 300 of them were slain; most of them had no connection with the military actions of Hamas. Israeli aircraft then continued their relentless raids on the so-called "bank-of-targets" pre-listed sites. When all of.....

| Leniency or Collaboration Between the Israeli Government and the Settlers |
by Mohammed Shaker Abdallah on
Monday, December 21, 2009
|
It is difficult for any sensible individual, no matter what his religious or political views might be, to assume that the settlers who relentlessly attack Palestinians in the West Bank, can undertake such crimes without implicit understanding, if not clear coordination with the Israeli authorities.
These settlers beat and overrun Palestinians. They evict families from their houses, uproot trees and block agricultural roads leading to Palestinian farms. In most of these atrocities, if not all, Israeli security.....

| Our Suicidal Impulses |

Is American-born Jewish liberalism pushing us, lemming-like, into the morally opaque sea of self-defeating multiculturalism? This may be the defining question for contemporary American Jewry. That over 75% of Jews voted for Obama, and that in the past the Democratic party generally garnered 70% of the Jewish vote or higher, is no accident. The reasons, however, are many – as well as counter-intuitive.
With Abraham, the first Jewish conservative came into being; his belief-bound pragmatism and his.....

| Escalation in the Battle for Jerusalem |
by Ibrahim Deibes on
Thursday, December 10, 2009
|
There would be no peace or stability in the entire region without Jerusalem being returned as the capital of the Palestinian state. In the same token of Israel's insistence on annexing the city, Judaizing it and isolating the city from its Palestinian environs, we Palestinians insist on restoring the city. We reject all the Israeli measures and practices. The international community is united behind us, and there is not a single state that recognized the annexation decision,.....
