FREE MARWAN BARGHOUTI! DEMAND HIS RELEASE, SAFETY AND PROTECTION! Palestinian Freedom fighter Marwan Barghouti is Arafat’s probable popular successor. Fatah Secretary-General (since 1994) and a key figure in both the first Intifada and the present Intifadat al-Aqsa, Marwan sits in an Israeli jail, sentenced last June 6 and serving five life sentences plus 40 years. Israeli and international progressives should raise two demands now loud and clear: for Barghouti’s immediate release from prison and for the protection of his safety wherever he is. There is a ...

Falluja: Mujahideen Reject Ceasefire n a report in early this morning, Fallujah Mujahideen have rejected the US request for cease fire and have wiped the besieged American column on Al-Hadhrah street. After the American occupation forces made several military attempts to break the siege around their battalion that had been encircled by Mujahideen on Al-Hadhrah street for several days, they were unable to dislodge it. When those military attempts failed, they resorted to peaceful solution by requesting cease fire- using loud spea...

Inside Fallujah: one family’s diary of terror She weeps while telling the story. The abaya (tunic) she wears cannot hide the shaking of her body as waves of grief roll through her. “I cannot get the image out of my mind of her foetus being blown out of her body.”
Muna Salim’s sister, Artica, was seven months’ pregnant when two rockets from US warplanes struck her home in Fallujah on November 1. “My sister Selma and I only survived because we were staying at our neighbours’ house that night,” Muna continued, unable to reconcile her sur...

Poisoning Rumors Fail to Die Down PARIS, 15 November 2004 — With the date of the Palestinian presidential election fixed for Jan.9 , one might expect it to be the hottest topic in the West Bank and Gaza.

That Arafat's death is seen as sign of optimism shows how deluded this conflict has become The Palestinians...have to prove themselves; they - not the Israelis - have to show that they are a worthy "negotiating partner".
The Israelis, with their continued occupation, their continued illegal construction of colonies for Jews and Jews only on Arab land, their air strikes and helicopter executions and live-fire shooting at stone-throwing children, are not part of this equation. They are just innocently waiting to find a new "negotiating partner"...
It's impo...
