Challenging the ethics of divestment In recent months the debate over investing in Israel has become a focal point for church related organizations and groups. While many reject the idea of investing in businesses that help the Israeli occupying forces in their efforts to further oppress and control the Palestinians, few are able to undertake steps to help in stopping such injustices....

Sharon phones Abbas in highest contact for nearly 4 years Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon phoned Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday to congratulate him on his election as Palestinian president and offer cooperation, the highest-level contact between the sides in nearly four years. But Palestinian militants resumed rocket and mortar fire at Jewish settlements in Gaza, signaling tough challenges ahead for the moderate Abbas and his call for a truce to help revive peace talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state. Abbas's predecessor Yasser Arafat last spoke...

The Palestinian Elections: Where is the bride? Turned out in his best formal suit, a neatly folded kuffiya carefully draped over his shoulders, Mahmoud Abbas smiles with confidence and anticipation as he is carried aloft by celebrants and supporters on this festive day. Just looking at him, you can tell he probably even smells nice, anointed with the fragrance of victory. The elections were a foregone conclusion, the polling a compulsory ritual, to legitimate what everyone already knew: Abbas was the one and only....

Palestinians mark martyrs' day Mariam Ahmed Mohammed, a widow, likes to listen to Arabic songs with the words "Mariam" in them, as her husband, a Palestinian martyr, used to always sing these songs to her. "I have grown used to living without him, but I have never forgotten him," says Mohammed, as she pulls out a passport photo of her husband from her purse....

Palestine: Yet another historic day Once again, the media and the international peace process industry have declared that it is an "historic day" for the Palestinian people. The occasion this time is the election of Mahmoud Abbas as head of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied territories. Yet most of these Palestinian people, for whom this day has been declared historic, do not live in the occupied territories; the majority of Palestinians live in diaspora or as refugees outside their homeland, a direct result o...

Slave Sovereignty : Palestinian Presidential Elections Under Occupation Many Palestinians are boasting that they will soon enjoy, again, the most free and democratic elections in the entire Arab World. The only problem is that electing a Palestinian president while still under the boot of the occupier is an oxymoron. Sovereignty and occupation are mutually exclusive. The world, including many well-informed readers, seem to think that the Palestinian people is actually practicing the ultimate form of sovereignty by freely choosing its own president. This is easily...

The Distortions of NPR on Palestine Tom Ashbrooke's program on the Palestinian elections this week failed to mention the West Bank detention and beating of Dr. Mustapha Barghouti while he was campaigning (he is running second to Mahmoud Abbas in Palestinian public opinion) and, in a separate and more recent incident, the IOF's refusal to let him return to the West Bank from Gaza, where he was continuing to campaign. (See the press release by Dr. Barghouti below.) These constitute both assault and batter and election tampering. ...
