Israel’s problem isn’t Palestinian nationalism — it’s Palestinians themselves
Most of the circumstances that made the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ripe for resolution — or at least made the peace process attractive to both parties — have all but disappeared over the past decade. Many Israelis were likely happy to read The New Yorker article titled “The End of This Road: The Decline of the Palestinian National Movement” earlier…

America’s BDS law is an attack on far more than free speech
The world long ago made clear to the Palestinians that violence is not a legitimate path for seeking independence. Now Congress is trying to criminalize one of the few nonviolent tools left. A pair of laws currently making their way through the United States Congress would impose criminal sanctions on Americans who support an economic…

Israel is still unable to deal with the catastrophe of 1948
The fact that Israel is unable to swallow or get rid of the territories it occupied in 1967, makes it far more difficult for the state to recognize the catastrophe that befell the Palestinians during the 1948 War. By Oren Barak Why does the State of Israel, which just celebrated 69 years of independence, struggle to deal with…

Two fathers, Palestinian and Jewish, find hope in solidarity
When I first got the news that he had won, the first people I checked on were my Muslim mother and my son. But then I wrote my friend, Brad Brooks-Rubin. The connection wasn’t coincidental. When my son was born, Brad was the first to visit him. A year later, I bought a life-sized playhouse…

Popular resistance in Palestine: Decline and hope for change
A decade ago popular protests against the separation wall, settlements, and occupation were the great promise of the Palestinian struggle. Now a new book takes a look at why these demonstrations were never actually able to bring out the Palestinian masses to the streets, and what activists can learn for the future. By Thimna Bunte…

‘As long as we choose violence Israel will always defeat us’
Mubarak Awad, one of the main organizers of nonviolent resistance during the First Intifada until Israel exiled him, talks about why only nonviolence can defeat the occupation, how Palestinians must convince Israelis that peace is their own interest, and his fears that without a new nonviolent movement more and more Palestinian youths will be drawn…

Despite its wishes, the EU only deepens the occupation
The European Union is substituting pressure on Israel for dialogue. How else will it be able to continue building schools and solar panels in the occupied territories?
