- Narratives Under Siege: Eighteen Years of Work Destroyed in Four Hours
“They came at four in the morning, with two bulldozers, and they left before 8am. I own this chicken farm with my three brothers, and we worked day and night for eighteen years to build up our business. The Israelis destroyed everything in less than four hours.” Nasser Jaber’s chicken farm was bulldozed by the [...]
- Fulbright Grants Denied to Gazan Students
What better way to punish Hamas than by punishing Gazan students? The American State Department recently withdrew the Fulbright Grants for Gazan students hoping to pursue higher education opportunities in the United States. And on what grounds? Well, it seems that because Israel isn’t letting them out anyway, it’s better not to waste money on [...]
- Amy Goodman: Whistle-Blower Points to Target List in U.S. Attack on Hotel
More than five years have passed since the invasion of Iraq, since President Bush stood under the “Mission Accomplished” banner on that aircraft carrier. While these fifth anniversaries got some notice, another did not: the shelling of the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad by a U.S. Army tank on April 8, 2003. The tank attack killed [...]
- That Much More of a Tragedy: On the Stupidity of Bush
When I reflect upon the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, I tend not to place so much faith in the rhetoric of change. Despite prevailing, popular attitudes here in Europe, I find it difficult to imagine anything but the most marginal change in domestic policy should Obama become President (and virtually zero change elsewhere). We may [...]
- PCHR: 60 Years of Ethnic Cleansing

Historical accounts indicate that the forced migration of Palestinians from their homeland had been planned well in advance. The establishment [...]
- Arab News: 60 Years of Nakba
A lack of obvious accomplishments in talks US President George Bush began with lofty ideals six months ago could change as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visits the region yet again. She has visited the region nearly every month since the formal launch of peace talks last year, but nothing has yielded breakthroughs so far, [...]
- Bradley Burston: Sixty Years of Nakba, 60 Years of Nothing
In a nation as coiled and embroiled as this, with a language fraught and zip-filed as the bible, it’s only fitting that a single daily newspaper headline will often say more than the thousands of words that follow. So it was, that on the day before Israel was to celebrate its independence, Maariv’s banner read, [...]
- Six Decades of Nakba
This week, Israel turned 60 and with it came the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba—the destruction and systemic expulsion of the Palestinian community. No other event has so drastically altered the course of events in the Middle-East and the scars of Palestinian dispossession continue to be the cause of great consternation across the region [...]
