Support for Fatah on the Decline
For the Independent, Alex Cockburn reports that Fatah appears to have suffered a sharp decline in support in the occupied territories. This should come as no surprise as Fatah has had few successes – if any – during their decades-long reign over the Palestinian national movement. In recent times, Fatah has produced a string of [...]
Guest Post: Verdict Against Holy Land Charity Could Have a Chilling Effect on the Muslim Community
By Laila Al-Arian, AlterNetpublished at: http://www.alternet.org/story/108740/ On Monday afternoon, a jury in Dallas, Texas found five Palestinian men guilty of more than 100 charges in the nation’s largest terrorism financing trial since 9/11.

Mass Layoffs Friday at ADC
The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is the largest grassroots Arab-American civil rights organization in the country — and it’s in crisis. Since the brilliant leadership of Hala Maksoud, the grassroots, advocacy nature of the organization deteriorated.

Self-Hating Jews
From the Guardian, these Jews hate themselves because they believe in equality between Arabs and Jews. I mean, how dare they talk about Plan Dalet and the Yitzhak Rabin-admitted ethnic cleansing of Lydda and Ramleh as bad things: “In May, Jewish organisations will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of [...]
