Prof. Rashid Khalidi didn't react when John McCain described him as a 'Palestinian hater of Israel,' because he wanted Barack Obama to win. But now, in an interview in Jerusalem, he is ready to express his displeasure with the president-elect. And he does not think Obama can make [...]

"Right and wrong are the same in Palestine as anywhere else. What is peculiar about the Palestine conflict is that the world has listened to the party that committed the offence and has turned a deaf ear to [...]



Sameh Habeeb - I'm not Barack Obama, but I will endorse him

We, Palestinians, are aspiring to any glimpse of hope to establishing our promising country of Palestine.

As an Arab, an uprooted Palestinian, the AIPAC annual conference is interesting for me to follow, not because I expect anything good from it, but because this is the annual event in which U.S. leaders show their real mettle. Unfortunately, it was always disappointing for me and others in the Middle East, but we understand [...]
