TILLEY: Bantustans and the unilateral declaration of statehood November 20, 2009

If you only have time to read one opinion piece this weekend, please make it Dr Virginia Tilley’s “Bantustans and the unilateral declaration of statehood”. It is a devastating scenario of what lies ahead for the Palestinians if the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral declaration of statehood proposal goes ahead. Aside from Dr Tilley’s impressive academic credentials and professional standing, she is South African and understands like only South Africans can what machinations went on during white… Continue

APARTHEID AND BEYOND

Middle East Report 253 Winter 2009



“Apartheid” is a word bomb. It explodes upon the page, laying bare memories of the regime of racial discrimination that prevailed in South Africa until 1994. So it was no small thing when the South African Human Sciences Research Council issued a report in 2009 concluding that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip is a “colonial enterprise that… Continue

Answer to Iqbal

Dear Iqbal,
I'm just back from Germany and reading your fine essay on writing - journalism or poetry. I think you are absolutely right and I know because I had the same experience. Up to 1968 I was writing poetry but when the revolt of students, young people and in France even large parts of workers swept through Europe and the world I could no longer write poems. The more you get aware of all the injustices, the wars with all their death and destruction the less you can find the calmness, the c… Continue

Remember the journalists who departed us while working for the freedom of Palestinians

Nick Pretzlik died suddenly of heart failure at home in the early hours of the morning on Sunday 11 July 2004.
Nick spent three or four months of the year in the West Bank, Gaza and the wider Middle East working as a free-lance journalist. Nick was passionate about the Palestinian issue and believed that broad public awareness of the plight of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in refugee camps situated in neighbouring countries is key to promoting a just resolution of their appalling predicament.

Nick's family has been involved with the Palestinian struggle since the first Intifada.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
~ Desmund Tutu.

The children appear traumatized. The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don’t know what the future holds. They deserve better.
