Although Abbasshole recently referred to life in the West Bank as ‘good’, it’s feeling more and more like living in the Wild West. Foreign settlers roam, heavily armed, burning the natives’ lands and killing their children, while an American general leads his army in raids against ‘outlaws’. That would be US General Keith Dayton, who [...]
Many people with their heads in the clouds anticipated that the Obama administration would finally swing US foreign policy towards advocating justice, rather than capitulation, for the Palestinians. In diplomatic circles, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah has repeated ad nauseum its belief that President Obama would finally listen to both sides and take into consideration [...]
It’s been exactly four months since Israel’s savage onslaught on the Gaza Strip came to an end, but the two year blockade that preceded the assault remains firmly in place, leaving the people of Gaza with no way to rebuild their shattered lives. Immediately after the indiscriminate campaign of killing and wanton destruction was halted, [...]
Today, May 1st, 2009, Nael Albarghouthi of Ramallah became the longest serving political prisoner in the world. The previous record of 31 years and 26 days was also held by Said Alatabah, another Palestinian in Israeli jails who was released last August. Albarghouthi was imprisoned on April 4th, 1978 at the age of 21 and [...]
This coffin apparently also contained the 120 other fallen soldiers. Israel’s deranged war on Gaza earlier this year was one of the most painful episodes in recent Palestinian history, in which one of the world’s most advanced armies devastated the towns and refugee camps they had caused decades earlier with the most brutal weaponry. Although [...]
Israel gave you the perfect birthday present by announcing plans to confiscate 12,000 dunums of your hometown’s land (Saeb can’t tell the difference between hometown and place of residence-the Erekats are from Abu Dis). Of course, I’m sure you spent the day celebrating in your own special way: (click to enlarge)
More pics for you from what one reader termed ‘the PA vomiting all over town’.These were taken by Um Mazen in the Masyoun neighborhood of Ramallah, and clearly show the offensive sight of Abbasshole’s face pasted on people’s homes and private property. Incidentaly, our brave munadila was stopped and questioned as she took the pictures [...]
My day started off in the worst possible way today. As I walked out to the main road to catch a taxi to work, I was met with poster upon poster upon poster of Abbasshole’s ugly face, staring at me from every lamppost, billboard and wall. They were everywhere, in the hundreds, pasted overnight in [...]
The ascension of the most right-wing government in the Zionist entity’s history to power has produced yet another demonstration of the gulf between reality and the world of dictators and collaborators that have controlled the Palestine-Israel conflict. Here on the ground in Palestine, the suffering and oppression at the hands of the Israeli occupation continues [...]
Haaretz published an article by a woman named Allison Speiser the other day in which she explains her reasons for moving into an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank. Read her article here. This is my response: Ms Speiser,You paint a very moving picture of a woman – a wife, a mother – [...]
