Khalid Amayreh – No light ahead

By Khalid Amayreh • Feb 26th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Features, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Our Authors, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Zionism

While the Palestinian Authority (PA) seems prone to agree to "indirect talks" with Israel without the latter undertaking any meaningful freeze of Jewish settlement expansion in the West Bank, the Israeli government is making only provocations, rendering the resumption — let alone success — of peace talks more unlikely, especially in the near future.
Israel lately [...]



"I was beaten savagely without knowing the reason" A Bidya man tells his story to Khalid Amayreh

By Khalid Amayreh • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Biography, Human Rights, Newswire, Palestine

Khalid Amayreh in the West Bank 10 December, 2009
Despite repeated assurances from the Palestinian Authority (PA) that torture has been outlawed in PA interrogation and incarceration facilities, stories of physical and psychological abuse continue to surface in the West Bank. This raises serious questions about the credibility of undertakings made by the PA to local [...]



Another PA betrayal

By Khalid Amayreh • Oct 5th, 2009 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, War, Zionism

WRITTEN BY KHALID AMAYREH – The Palestinian Authority (PA) decision to defer until March a vote on the “Goldstone report” at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva constitutes a huge betrayal of Palestinian people. 
Likewise, the stupid and disgraceful feat immensely serves the Israeli goal of covering up the Nazi-like crimes the Israeli occupation army [...]



Amira Hass on the Israel Donors Conference, a gift to Israel

By Mary Rizzo • Mar 4th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Mary's Choice, Newswire, Palestine, War, Zionism

The extent of the funding pledged to the Palestinian Authority by donor countries reflects the extent of their support for Israel and its policies. The American taxpayers' contribution to the Ramallah government's bank account is dwarfed by the large sums the U.S. government donates to Israel every year. It's impossible to get excited over the [...]

Confirmation from Khalid himself.  
Dear friends, colleagues, brothers and sisters all over the globe. 

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your solidarity during my short but difficult ordeal. I am quite certain that had it not been for the public and  media pressure on the PA, I would have been kept in that [...]



Khalid Amayreh – Second Fiddle to Israel

By Khalid Amayreh • Nov 15th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Nakba and Right of Return, Newswire, Our Authors, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Zionism

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) have been trading harsh accusations as to who bears responsibility for the open-ended postponement of Egyptian-sponsored national reconciliation talks that were due to take place in Cairo earlier this week.
Citing Hamas's decision to boycott the much-heralded talks, PA and Fatah leaders and spokespersons denounced the Islamic movement for being [...]



Kawther Salam – We are Sick of the American-Israeli Interference

By Kawther Salam • Nov 10th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Features, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance

I am writing this article after I escaped from the criminal action of Israelis on November 1, 2008, who came to Vienna to watch and to harass me. I wonder if the mission of these criminals to terrorize me in exile was coordinated between the Israelis and the Palestinian "security" team, just like what is [...]

Following the interchanging of the roles of coordination between the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli occupation raided the Palestinian charities of Hebron, Nablus, Ramallah and Jenin in the West Bank cities, closing, vandalizing, looting, destroying, and transferring their respective properties to the Israeli military central command Gadi Shamni, and the Palestinian Authority [...]



The futility of holding elections under a foreign military occupation

By Khalid Amayreh • Jul 15th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Nakba and Right of Return, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Our Authors, Palestine, Zionism

It is often said that a wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top. It is also said that a wise man learns from the mistakes of other people, an imbecile learns from his own mistakes, but a fool learns neither [...]
