Hamas leaders jailed

By Syndicated News | Published: September 2, 2010

I will not comment on the Hamas killings of four settlers in the West Bank except to comment that I will not comment on those killings. As Seham points out in the last several months there were many Israeli attacks against Palestinians. Many Palestinians were shot or died and I did not even write about every [...] Related posts:

after peace talks fail

By Syndicated News | Published: August 31, 2010

Everyone, except for the people running our most important paper, agrees that failure is inevitable in the current round of peace talks [and see this excellent post for a sum-up]. Here's a conservative Haaretz columnist:

Therefore, there are good reasons to believe that detailed proposals published this year by the hawkish Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs more [...] Related posts:

the great Israeli Book Robbery

By Syndicated News | Published: August 29, 2010

Click here to view the embedded video.

I was looking for more information on the book-looting that took place during the Nakba, and quickly came across the essay below, originally published in Yitzhak Laor's Hebrew-language anti-Zionist literary quarterly, Mitaam: a Review for Radical Thought. Gish Amit wrote it, and Rebecca Gillis translated it from the Hebrew. Ideology [...] Related posts:

there is no peace process

By Syndicated News | Published: August 28, 2010

It's useful to remember from time-to-time that the peace process is a joke, whose only aim is to continue. No one who participates in it cares much about a just final settlement. They care about keeping the appearance of caring about a just final settlement visible, while legitimizing ongoing occupation and settlement.

Here is the PA violently [...] Related posts:

too tempting: Keith Kahn-Harris replies

By Syndicated News | Published: August 26, 2010

The issue that I am uncomfortable with - and this also applies to @R Ross's comment - is the absolute distinction between victim and victimiser. It suggests a total lack of agency to the Palestinians and by implication a complete lack of any responsibility. Now the Palestinians are incontestably the weaker party [...] Related posts:

In search of an Israeli left

By Syndicated News | Published: August 24, 2010

Zochrot is an Israeli organization that attempts to change Israeli culture by asserting that before Israel was a Hebraized nation of mostly Jews, it was mostly a nation of farming Palestinians. It makes this assertion by raising consciousness both of what Israel was before it was Israel, and what had to happen to make Israel be [...] Related posts:

what does the Lobby do when it Lobbies?

By Syndicated News | Published: August 19, 2010

Depth regimes in the Middle East are characterized by a cyclical build-up of weapons in both Israel and the Arab states, alongside elevated oil prices, as core petroleum and armament companies, fueled by and fueling regional instability, exploit that instability to expand their differential profitability. How much of this is visible in something relatively small and [...] Related posts:

very bad Hamas

By Syndicated News | Published: August 16, 2010

Amira Hass reports—kind of—from Gaza, that the Hamas government broke up a PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) rally against making Gazan electricity supplies subject to a political battle between Fateh and Hamas. The PFLP does not put much credence in Hamas’s objections that Fateh is mostly at fault. From the (partial) research I’ve [...] Related posts:
