Israel kills three top Hamas commanders in Gaza
At least 34 Palestinians were killed Thursday when the Israeli air force bombed Gaza for a second day after a temporary ceasefire broke down and negotiators failed to reach a ceasefire agreement.

Palestinians continue to create life from death
Gaza’s injuries have provoked every Palestinian and created in us the desire for all Palestinians to live in unity in our lands occupied since 1948. By Badia Dweik I was unable to recognize him from the photos I saw on social media sites. Neither could I recognize him from the hospital photos that showed him…

This is a war of choice. Netanyahu’s choice
Netanyahu is no hero, and the tragedy is our own. Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon on Tuesday, after the latter criticized Netanyahu for holding fire, and even called him “a lefty,” which is probably the worst thing you can say to someone in the current political atmosphere.

Release of prisoners bittersweet for family, friends of terror victims
In August of 2002, less than 24 hours after hearing about the death of a dear friend, Marla Ann Bennett, I wrote a column in a prominent British newspaper about the world’s loss.

Gilad Schalit, once a captive, is now a soldier again
I have been crying since 10:24 this morning. After three hours, my television was finally on mute, but suddenly my eyes caught a flurry of activity: grainy footage of a tiny but unmistakable youngster, walking in a slanted way and being propped or dragged under his arms by people who obviously controlled him.

All for one, and one for all?
Most of us will never be privy to the behind-closed-doors discussions and negotiations that took place indirectly between Israeli and Hamas officials. Why one Palestinian prisoner was included on the list while another one was left off is, according to Israeli security officials, a matter of strategic consideration.
