‘This is how you change the status quo’: Rethinking the Palestinian boycott of Jerusalem elections
Aziz Abu Sarah withdrew his historic bid for Jerusalem mayor after Israeli and Palestinian pressures, but he hopes his short campaign ‘provokes’ new ideas on how to build stronger, younger Palestinian political activism in the city.

Palestinian solidarity groups and pro-Israel Jewish groups both stay away from a theater production that addresses the extremists on both sides of the conflict.

The Israel-Palestine Lorde Diaries, Chapter 3: Two Islands
Between general despair and out of fear of offending the anti-normalization movement, the project moves on and Lorde makes an unlikely fan. Read the previous chapters of The Israel-Palestine Lorde Diaries’ here. More than a week has passed and I haven’t heard from Hanin. I figured we need find another translator.

Dispatch from Gaza: Why Palestinians should speak to Israeli media
When Hamas banned Palestinians in Gaza from working with Israeli media, I understood why, but could not stay silent.

Moderate Islam meets Auschwitz

On anti-normalization, dialogue and activism – a response
“Those who reject dialogue as a means of ending occupation are alienating even the most sympathetic activists by positing replacement of one monumental injustice – occupation oppression and dispossession – with another: envisaging the disappearance of most Israelis from the region.” An argument for why the Palestinian struggle could benefit from a new approach to dialogue.…

On anti-normalization, dialogue and activism
“Thanks, this was the most awful thing I have read in a long time. Going into fetus position.” This was the reply I got on Twitter from a friend after posting the Facebook anti-normalization debate yesterday.
