Hm, a bit sad, because we need both the truth of the moment, the expression of what is happening and the spirit of the poet. We never leave that passion although our work might seem different, it is all poetry! Human kind calls for poetry not hist...

Dear David

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

By Stuart Littlewood
18 November 2009
Stuart Littlewood welcomes Channel 4 TV’s exposure of Britain’s Israel lobby but says it left too much out: "[I]t didn’t name and shame enough individuals. It didn't tell the nation that our most important security bodies ... are all headed by Israel flag-wavers... It didn’t reveal that our Labour and Conservative leaders are both patrons of the Jewish National Fund…”

- Iqbal:
I have posted your article to United Progressives. I like to post a small signature biography at the bottom of each article, identifying the writer, and saying something about him/her. Can you give me a small paragraph saying something about you, such as where you live and what you write.
I have also added you to our membership roll so that your name appears properly at the top of each article, which is drawn from the database of authors. If you can provide me with an email address, I will add you to our newsletter mailing list.

- Hi, Iqbal. It's a real pleasure to get acquainted. Emman Chehade Randazzo, a dear friend on Facebook, visits your site, and I happened to see one of her posts of your articles. I think I've seen her post them before, but have not visited your site until today. I'm very appreciative of the kind of information you provide, and I'd like to publish some of it in United Progressives.

Al-Khansa said… - My dear Iqbal I read your article "Is Egypt benefiting financially from the plight of the people of Gaza?"
Have you seen this article....
http://web.alquds.com/node/172602
I am not sure if it will help answer the question or not.....
I have been saying for a while that egypt need to be boycotted.... well the government does...perhaps through tourism
I would think mubarak is protecting his aide from the usa
Is it black mail?
Or is he also getting back hands to do what he is doing?
I am not sure.......
It sicken me to see what egypt has now taken on the cloak of the zionist

Jeffrey Kaufman said… - Hi its very nice to speak with you, I am a 19 year old sophmore at Indiana University. As part of my class on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict we have been assigned to write an essay on a blog that discusses the conflict. In this class we learn in depth about zionism, Pan-Arabism and about many authors such as Khalidi, Herzl, Qutb and many others. I was wondering what was your main source of inspiration for creating a blog like this? Also, what is your opinion on the way that this conflict can be diffused? Finally, how would you describe how living in the United Kingdom has affected your viewpoint on the conflict?
I have been following this blog for a week or so now so I have a generally good idea of you opinions but to have them answered specifically would be very benefitial for my paper. I have really enjoyed reading the viewpoints on these blogs, thanks for all the help.
