I guess you can’t control everything…
Details are now being revealed about the preparations for President Bush’s visit to Ramallah. In addition to closing down parts of the city, President Bush’s costly visit (which included repairing parts of the Muqata so that Bush would not have to see Israel’s devastation of the building) the team made a reportedly number of demands [...]
An Open Letter to Abbas
Dear President Abbas, It is the early morning hours of January 10th and in a few short hours your greatest “ally”, President Bush, is slated to arrive. Given that you are surrounded by “yes” men who refuse to tell you what is happening here, and given that protests have been banned, please indulge me as [...]
On Israel, the “Jewish State” and Annacrapolis…
The following piece appeared on The Nation online on 11 December 2007 Israel’s Palestinians Speak Outby NADIM ROUHANA The Annapolis peace talks regard me as an interloper in my own land. Israel’s deputy prime minister, Avigdor Lieberman, argues that I should “take [my] bundles and get lost.” Henry Kissinger thinks I ought to be summarily [...]
Moral Value of the Israeli Army
Sometimes it is rough being an Israeli soldier. It is tough to have to beat Palestinians, shoot them, demolish their homes and deny them their freedom. But the inflicted torture, beatings, killings and home demolitions can, in no way compare to the horrendous pain felt by Israeli soldiers for having to torture and kill Palestinians [...]
Seller’s Remorse

Using the “I” Word
Wow, it seems that even t-shirts are now subject to censorship, as Debbie Almontaser has now learned. Worse still, is that mainstream media, such as the IHT article, seem to have bought into the thinking that there is something wrong with the word. The dreaded “I” word: intifada. “Intifada” literally means “shaking up” – there [...]
Using the “N” Word
Well, it appears that Israel is now clamping down on those you use the “N” word. No, it’s not what you think…it is the other “N” word…and given that I reside in the Zionist entity, I won’t use it for fear of being arrested). In the aftermath of the al-Khalil (Hebron) media event, it seems [...]
When you got to go…
Yesterday’s “confrontation” between the whacko settlers in Al-Khalil (Hebron) and the Israeli army soldiers protecting them was clearly a smelly affair. Following a government decision to remove 2 families from a Palestinian building illegally occupied by the settlers (removed not because they are illegal or because they wreck havoc on the lives of the 130,000 [...]
