Is Qalandia checkpoint high-tech?
Reema Hammami has called the disgraceful concrete and steel Qalandia Checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah high-tech. Is it?
A report published in February – March of this year on “TRACKING CORPORATE COMPLICITY IN THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE”, part of the Corporate Watch website here, says this: “Qalandiya Terminal, the crossing between East Jerusalem and Ramallah, [...]
An eye for an eye?
No, of course I am not advocating this kind of justice.
But I am taking a break from the on-going saga of the Freedom Flotilla and as many of its implications I can think about, to note that a 21-year old American woman, an artist and art student (originally described as a journalist) was shot in [...]

Yes, Qalandia Checkpoint is a scandal
The Washington Post has picked up an article written by Ben Hubbard for the Associated Press about the misery that is Qalandia checkpoint. Apparently, Ben spent five days there, early in the morning when Palestinians with permits are being treated not unlike animals as they try to get to work.

Palestinian TV news did not report shooting at Qalandia checkpoint
Palestinian TV news has shot up in the ratings, I am told, over the past few months — and Al-Jazeera has dropped.
Previously, Palestinians were getting their local news from Al-Jazeera. Could Al-Jazeera really give enough local coverage to satisfy the Palestinians here, I used to ask? It is all there is, I was [...]
