  Testimonies resumed in the ongoing civil suit lodged by Rachel Corrie's family against the State of Israel in Haifa's District Court this week, as the state's defense team called three witnesses to the stand.
• For a morally consistent boycott of Israel
  While we welcome acts of protest against any manifestation of Israel's regime of colonialism and apartheid -- including the recent announcement by 150 prominent Israeli academics, writers and cultural figures to boycott Israel's settlements - […]
• Siege casts shadow over Ramadan
  GAZA CITY, occupied Gaza Strip (IPS) - The Muslim festival approaches, but not the end to power cuts that have darkened the month-long Ramadan fasting leading up to the festival. Or to the agony of Gazans, made worse by the reminder that it's approaching […]
• Ramadan in Gaza's boundary zone
  JOHR AL-DIK, occupied Gaza Strip (IPS) - With power cuts up to 16 hours to full days, a soaring heat wave and unbearable humidity, the Israeli-led siege on Gaza is but one of many factors leaving Ramadan miserable for the majority of Palestinians in Gaza.
• Price tag reprisals in Hebron
  The Palestinian families which live along Route 60 in the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank have no recourse when settlers attack. The area is under full Israeli civil and military control leaving the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority relatively […]
• "We need to nationalize the resistance"
  Public servant Bassem Mohammed al-Tamimi is from al-Nabi Saleh, a small village about 20 kilometers northwest of Ramallah. As coordinator of the local Popular Committee, Tamimi has played a leading role in al-Nabi Saleh's demonstrations against the nearb […]
• Mass arrests, clashes follow settler shootings
  On 1 September the Palestinian Authority's (PA) security forces launched an unprecedented arrest campaign against Palestinians affiliated with the Hamas party in the occupied West Bank. The arrest sweep followed attacks earlier in the week against […]

• Why Israel imprisoned my best friend
  And just as Israel has gradually increased restrictions of where we can go, the boundaries of what is permissible to do as a Palestinian have narrowed markedly. We have reached a point where peaceful protest is unacceptable to the Israeli state and military l […]

• Boycott grows as Stephen Sondheim, Mira Nair and Julianne Moore join call against settlement theater; Palestinian activists say keep focus on the big picture
  Jewish Voice for Peace's campaign to support 60 leading Israeli actors and playwrights who are refusing to play a new theater in Ariel continues to grow. New notable figures are joining by the day. Ed Asner explains his support, "It is always amazing when actors turn down jobs.To have the actors of Israel say they [...]
• Are the settlers civilians?
  Although I have replied individually to a few comments to my recent post regarding the recent killing of four Israeli settlers, there was one issue repeatedly raised in several comments. To what extent should Jewish settlers in the West Bank be considered civilians?Armed - Some have questioned whether the victims were armed, and suggested that if [...]
• Traveler
  I'm off to the Middle East for a couple weeks. I wish everyone a happy end to Ramadan and happy beginning of the Jewish new year. Well-- those sons and daughters of Abraham, anyway!I'm going to try and write from my destinations and keep an eye on the news. Others will be carrying the weight. [...]
• Meet the Chernicks
  A few weeks back Juan Cole created a data point to explain the neocons:They have more assets than is visible on the surface. They have perhaps half of America’s 400 billionaires on their side.I am deeply grateful to Cole for that assertion. Even if it's imprecise, even if it's off, it's obviously based on [...]

• Mearsheimer: There will be no two-state solution, only a greater Israel, and Palestinians will need the int?l community in the coming fight against apartheid
  Something you won't see on American television: Al Jazeera ran a long piece on the peace talks (linked here at Pulse.). "Empire" host Marwan Bishara is incisive; he speaks of the "Zionist lobby" and the emergence of a state in Kosovo with far less rigmarole than the endless peace process. His guests, on barstools in [...]
• Right-wing Zionists hammer out their vision of one state
  We got the note below from a man called Peter Paton. It is a reminder that the Zionist right is actively developing its ideas of what one state between the river and the sea will look like. And it ain't pretty. But the right recognizes a reality that the left, including the American liberal establishment, [...]
• Arab leaders reaffirm ?67 borders. And Israel?
  This one sure seems like a no-brainer. 1. Jordan's King Abdullah attended Obama's peace talk photo-op in D.C. last week, then he went back home and visited Damascus and the two countries' leaders called on Israel to withdraw from all the lands taken in '67 in order to have peace with its neighbors. Abdullah and Assad [...]
• Road to Jerusalem now moved from Baghdad to Tehran!
  Wonderful post at Lobelog by Eli Clifton: The neocons used to insist that the road to peace in Jerusalem led through Baghdad. Guess what, now they're saying it leads “through Tehran.” And the sad news, they're still in the ideological driver's seat.On a nearly daily occurrence, neoconservative op-ed columns and blogs are recycling […]
• Who are we to stand in moral and legal judgment of the settlers? killers?
  I appreciated David Samel’s thoughtful essay on the Hamas-claimed killings of the four paramilitary settlers in Hebron—paramilitary settlers, and not simply “settlers.” I appreciated it both because it was thoughtful and because it was lucid (although I appreciated more Seham’s list of unreported attacks agai […]
