Palestine Think Tank

التقريرالمؤلف من 575 صفحة الذي أصدره المحقق الخاص بالعدوان الإسرائيل الإجرامي على قطاع غزة, ريتشارد غولدستون,هذا الأسبوع كان وما يزال فرصة إعلامية جيدة لفضح إسرائيل, هذا الكيان الإجرامي الذي يقتل الأطفال النساء ويهلك الحرث والنسل ويسعى في الأرض فسادا ومن ثم يملأ الدنيا صراخا مدعيا أنه هو الضحية وأنه إنما يفعل ما يفعل [...]

WRITTEN BY KHALID AMAYREH  in Jerusalem 
As the month of Ramadan draws to a close, many Palestinians are devoting the last ten days of the holy month to gaining more  spiritual enrichment through I’tikaf or uninterrupted spiritual engagement. 
Many people are going for I’tikaf this year, motivated by a desire to gain Allah’s blessing and also encouraged by [...]

WRITTEN BY KHALID AMAYREH – There is no doubt that any form of Arab normalization with Israel, especially under current circumstances, constitutes a brazen betrayal of the Palestinian people and their enduring just cause for justice and freedom from the cruel Israeli occupation.  
In recent weeks, there have been consistent reports indicating that a number of [...]

Three Palestinian Intellectuals Voice Their Opinions
  
Will Obama succeed in achieving what every other American administration failed to achieve? (Reuters file photo)
 
President Obama’s speech to the Muslim world in Cairo on June 4th and his declared commitment to achieve a "balanced" solution to the enduring Palestinian plight revived hopes for ending decades of cruel Israeli occupation [...]

Accusations of conspiracy to murder continue to reverberate across the Palestinian arena, threatening to break the Fatah movement in two, writes Khaled Amayreh in the West Bank
Farouk Kaddumi's recent bombshell accusations that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and his aide, former Gaza strongman Mohamed Dahlan, had connived with Israel to murder late Palestinian leader [...]

Just as anti-Semitism became official policy in Germany in the mid 1930s, it seems hostility towards Arabs, especially Israel’s own 1.5 million Palestinian citizens, is becoming a de facto official policy of the Israeli state.
 
This ominous orientation is being constantly promoted by a number of manifestly racist cabinet ministers and Knesset members who declare openly that their aim [...]

Peres is the President of the country that adamantly refuses to allow millions of Christians and Muslims in occupied Palestine to access their respective religious places in al-Quds.

(…) this writer, who lives not far from Jerusalem, has been utterly unable to enter the city for the past 15 years, even for a brief prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is while people from around the world can easily and freely visit the holy city.

So, one is really at loss trying to reconcile this hateful racist policy of religious discrimination against Palestinian Christians and Muslims with Peres’ call for religious tolerance.

There is no doubt that Benyamin Netanyahu’s odious screed at Bar Ilan University Sunday night was a slap in the face to all those who gave the so-called  “peace process” between the Palestinian people and Israel the benefit of the doubt.
First, it was a brazenly direct affront to President Obama who thought rather naively that nice words about [...]

It is hard to treat with indifference President Obama's speech in Cairo on 4 June, 2009.The speech itself seemed to represent an ostensible departure from the virulent anti-Islam rhetoric which very much characterized the general discourse of the former Bush administration.
 
Needless to say, the calumnies and canards concocted by Bush against the world's 1.5 billion Muslims; [...]

There is always fresh evidence justifying the Israeli-Nazi analogy. In recent days and weeks, a number of Israeli officials and lawmakers proposed "draft laws" that would effectively formalize Israel's de facto racism and seriously restrict the human and civil rights of Israel’s non-Jewish citizens.
One of the proposals being discussed would criminalize the commemoration of Nakba [...]
