How one of Palestine’s preeminent journalists lost hope for peace

Who got rid of the prime minister of Palestine?
The resignation of the Palestinian Authority’s relatively popular but unsupported Prime Minister Salam Fayyad ends a story of frustration, progress and hope. Who killed the prime minister of Palestine? Well, no one killed Salam Fayyad, of course. But the idea of a prime minister of Palestine, the political leader of a someday-democratic state-coming-into being who…

The Ramallah bubble: Prosperity under occupation?

Demystifying one-state, acknowledging facts
The question is no longer about whether one state should be considered, as there is only one state which governs over two people. The question is which kind of state it will be: the left or the right-wing version. The protests a few weeks ago in the West Bank against Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, once the…

PA-Israel trade agreements only stabilize occupation
The trade agreements signed earlier this week between Israel and the Palestinian Authority serve as a reminder of the convenient status quo of occupation.

To Mideast peacemakers: You are all George Costanza!
Jason Alexander comes here to make peace, but sounds more like George Costanza. Problem is, he’s not alone. Jason Alexander (“George Costanza” in Seinfeld) is a good liberal, he cares about Israel and wants to see peace, he wants to see Palestinians have their freedom and Israelis their security. He and an American group called…

Fayyad to speak at US Palestinian lobby gala despite rift
In just few hours, the Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is slated to give the keynote address at the annual gala dinner of the American Task Force on Palestine, or ATFP.

As September…
