On Thursday, Jon Stewart hosted two interesting guests on The Daily Show, Israeli-Palestinian peace activists Anna Baltzer and Dr. Mustafa Barghouti. The episode seemed to draw an angry response from a Pro-Israel crowd so I’m reposting this letter written by Baltzer in hopes that those who read it will help spread it. The content is [...]

I woke up today to this piece of news that just gave me hope in a better tomorrow for Palestinian refugee camps, one way or the other, and despite the ever worsening conditions there; the news says: Street in Palestinian Refugee Camp Named after Twitter Account The street, which is now named “@arjanelfassed tweetstreet,” is [...]
إجهاض تقرير غولدستون “بضغط أمريكي”، المصدر: الجزيرة أما آن الوقت للاعتراف بأنّنا (العرب بشكل عام، والفلسطينيين بشكل خاص) سبب كل المآسي التي نعاني منها؟ متى سنعترف بأن المشكلة فينا، وأننا وحدنا المسؤولون عن المهزلة التي نعيشها، وأنّ العلة في جبننا وغبائنا وسلبيتنا وانقسامنا وانحنائنا؟ إلى متى سنظل نستعمل الغرب كشماعة نعلّق عليها انهزاماتنا وتهربنا وتخاذلنا؟ [...]

Last night and while I was watching TV after an exhausting day, I happened to watch Fadi Andrawos’ latest video clip: “Falastine w Lebnan“, i.e. Palestine & Lebanon; an extremely outstanding song addressing the “double identity” issue that irritates so many on this planet, especially if this double identity included the word Palestinian. I LOVED [...]
