See my Huffington Post blog for more on the jailed Fatah leader:

Can he - if he is ever released - help unite Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank under one government?

What do you think?

Palestinians can't achieve independence or peace unless they are willing to confront the extremists

Confronting the extremists is as important a necessity as it is building dialogue and support among Israelis, the Jewish community and the West. It is a FACT that the pro-Hamas bias in the Arab World media and the rejectionist views of many of the activists leading the fight for the rights of Palestinians are doing so not to achieve peace but to 1) reinforce Hamas as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and to prevent peace based on two-states.

The people of… Continue

Israeli Students Near Gaza Partying Despite Being Constantly Bombed

This is a video report I made for nana10 (Israeli web portal) in October 2008.
During that time - 2 months before "Operation Cast Lead" (also known as the Gaza War) - Kassam rockets were constantly fired from Gaza to the surrounding cities and towns.

Tragedy in Wonderland, the rejectionist drive to destroy their own people

It's one thing to be optimistic. But when you replace optimism with fatalistic hope, it is irresponsible and even selfish.

How else do you describe the bizarre, although articulately expressed, assertions by Ali Abunimeh, the presumed successor to the late great philosopher Edward Said, that Israel is "failing?" Published on Abunimeh's web site "The Electronic Intifada," where Abunimeh pines for the… Continue

Israel’s Subtle Propaganda Strategy

I wrote this article several weeks ago and it has circulated widely around the Internet. I am posting it for two reasons:

(1) After the article appeared, Senator Cardin eliminated references to Hamas in a response to me when I sent him the Amnesty International plea mentioned in the article. I hope this is not a temporary procedure, but remains.

(2) The public is becoming more aware of media manipulations and articles which expose the manipulations are well… Continue

3.5 pm

Sir Gerald Kaufman (Manchester, Gorton) (Lab): I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine.

I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there… Continue

They Beat Their Swords Into An Industrial Zone

In the Bible, Isaiah, in one of his more memorable prophesies, says that there will come a time when, “…They beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation does not lift a sword against nation, and they no longer learn war.” Quite a profound sentiment, if you ask me, but how realistic is it, given the recent violence in Gaza?

In recent days, in the midst of the ghastly fighting in Gaza, I’ve heard about a proposal to build an industrial zone on Gaza’s… Continue

We Could Argue Until The Cows Come Home...Or...

On the surface, at least, the purpose of a system of justice is to bring justice. In America, however, every defendant has the right to legal counsel. Every once in a while a sharp and crafty lawyer can get the defendant off, even if he was caught with blood on his hands. Such is the power of a persuasive argument. But is justice served when legal arguments and loopholes are used to subvert the truth?

We see unfolding before our eyes a tragedy in Gaza. Innocent civilians are losing… Continue

ENOUGH

Dear Peacemakers,

There I was, standing amongst several hundred mostly Palestinians chanting anti-Israel slogans along with "Free Gaza" and "Free Palestine" in front of the Isaeli Consulate in New York City.

As I hugged one of the organizers, a Palestinian friend, I whispered in his ears "this is a missed opportunity."

Yes, a missed opportunity.

The point of the protest was to call for an immediate stop to the violence and killing and for an immediate… Continue
