By Guest Post • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Grassroots Activism, Ideas and Projects, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

Reading Rifat Kassis's Opinion: Moment of truth (e.i. 4 March 2010) we are inspired to put a halt to the arguments that call for a selective boycott of Israel, and to defy those voices which warn us Palestinians (and many internationalists, for that matter) who criticise Israel for fear of being labelled 'anti-semites' (although we [...]

A new lesson from the noble Arab people of Egypt

A Palestine Think Tank Editorial
WRITTEN BY  Yousef Abudayyeh, Mohamed Khodr, Mary Rizzo, Haitham Sabbah and Saja 
Activism and activists for Palestine have been getting some media attention recently. This is absolutely great news. It is an opportunity that we need to take advantage of, especially since Palestinians themselves are denied space in almost all mainstream mass [...]



We're Sailing Again: Join Us!

By Haitham Sabbah • Jan 15th, 2010 • Category: Grassroots Activism, Haitham's Choice, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, War, Zionism

Written by Free Gaza Team
This spring, the Free Gaza Movement is sending at least six boats to Gaza to break Israel’s illegal blockade on 1.5 million Palestinians. This blockade constitutes an act of collective punishment, a crime prohibited under international humanitarian law. Gaza's man-made and internationally perpetuated crisis is set to deepen as Egypt builds [...]



Haitham Sabbah – Surround me with songs of deliverance: crossing the borders of solidarity

By Haitham Sabbah • Jan 3rd, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Grassroots Activism, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War

By Haitham Sabbah
Activists for Palestine have to have the same goal as Palestinians – the liberation of Palestine. They have to pay attention to not being diverted from this objective or to interfere with a greater geopolitical situation that may have consequences none of us can predict and which can cancel for a long time [...]



Gaza, We'll Never Forget (a video by Haitham Sabbah)

By Haitham Sabbah • Dec 29th, 2009 • Category: Grassroots Activism, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

It only lasted 23 days, but following several years' blockade, the affect was devastating to the Palestinians penned into Gaza, part of Occupied Palestine. The total destruction meted out by the Israeli Army, with the backing of citizens of the Jewish State and the approval of their international friends and supporters, including the USA and EU, can be seen in this video. No one and nothing was secure, infants, women, the elderly, places of shelter, worship or education. No street, no home was left unscathed. No family was left in peace. There was no refuge, no shelter. We will never forget the carnage, the violence and the inhumanity of the Israeli "operation".

Hiyam Noir – EGYPT Under Pressure to Stop Life-Line Convoy to Gaza !

By Guest Post • Dec 22nd, 2009 • Category: Grassroots Activism, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance

It is BIG B.S. – admitting there is nothing that can be done if the convoy of Palestine activists including the drivers in emergency vehicles, will be prevented from entering Gaza. Forget about it, this time around there is a lot of interest focused world wide on Gaza, and the long lines of approaching international [...]
