Bringing Back the Palestinian Pound

The idea of a Palestinian currency is a powerful symbol, but like the two-state solution is a shell game that only defers further Palestinian suffering.

Proximity Mloximity

With the proximity talks doomed to fail, why don’t we shed the two-state solution myth and start being practical? read

Madness is repeating what has already failed…

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 [...]

Is the United States Pressuring Israel?

At a news conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Tuesday, Secretary Clinton said the White House believes that moving toward a two-state solution is in Israel’s best interests and described it inevitable and inescapable.

He does not say this, but by saving the Fatah-led PA [...]

I worked the phone banks with his campaign as well and tried to convince concerned Americans [...]
