Ali Abunimah: The Roadmap -- Where Next After Aqaba?
Already at this early stage, Bush has backed away from a confrontation with Sharon on the key issue of settlements. Sharon will go home from the summit happy, having given the impression of flexibility and boldness while actually conceding nothing. The usual outlet in an impasse is to pile more pressure on the Palestinians. After what Abbas conceded, its hard to see what they have left to give....

Adam Shapiro of ISM interviewed by the Daily Star in Lebanon about his experiences
"I realized that I could not stand by and watch. As someone who was an American but understood and experienced life in the Arab world, I could not be silent, especially as American-made weapons and the American government gave such overwhelming support to the Israelis. I have been attacked by the Jewish community and my family has received death threats. I have seen all the abuses of the occupation," he says, "from the littlest things like soldiers pointing guns at small kids o...

Alexander Cockburn: The Roadmap Hoax
This same June 24 speech sounded at the time as though it were written by Sharon, and it probably was. It hedged Palestinian aspirations with so many restrictions and caveats that it ended up as a binding guarantee by the U.S. government (as if another one was needed) that at no time in the foreseeable future would the Palestinian national flag be permitted to fly over any real estate more substantial than a few football fields of rubble, denied water and surrounded by freeways restricted to ...

SAMUEL SHAHID: CRUSADING CHRISTIAN BIGOT SPREADING HATE WHEREVER HE GOES
Greg Self, the first graduate of Shahid's program, runs a nonprofit in Arlington called Good News for the Crescent World. Muslims are going to hell, he says. "That's why it's so urgent for me to go out and tell them." "We are a seminary, not a university," says Samuel Shahid, a Palestinian-born Christian who heads the program. Students in Fort Worth say they expect to take similar paths--going undercover with jobs as teachers, translators, business people, relief workers, ...

No Sharon, we won't drop the right of return
Between 1948 and 1949, Israeli forces killed at least 13,000 Palestinians. Next week, Palestinians commemorate the tragedy of Tantura (May 15, 1948), where Israeli troops killed two hundred Palestinians. On the day Israel was born, Israeli armed forces took over the village, lined 95 men up against a cemetry wall and shot them. Other villagers were killed inside their homes and in other parts of the village. The village was later demolished to make way for a parking lot and the Nahsholim kibb...
