Martha 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

Iqbal Tamimi 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.

Einar Schlereth 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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POtk6G7q4Bw 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…” Channel 4's “Dispatches” progr… Continue

Fidah Jadallah SOMETHING THAT MADE ME SMILE!!

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile. The Palestinian Representative's Speech started like this: 'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!' He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A… Continue

Iqbal Tamimi The smell of misery and the feeling of hope

By Mazin Qumsiyeh I have not been to Beirut since I was five years old (but I do remember some things of it) and I was a bit nervous since much has happened in the decades since. Lebanon and Palestine together with Jordan and Syria have always been connected; only after the British and French decided to divide us and give part of the land to European Jews to replace the natives that we became separated and disconnected (and sometimes querreling). I was invited as a repr… Continue

mohamad yousef M. Shahid Alam – How Eurocentric Is Your Day?

M. Shahid Alam – How Eurocentric Is Your Day? Posted: 10 Nov 2009 05:38 AM PST At the outset of the classes I teach, I always address the question of bias in the social sciences. In one course – on the history of the global economy – this is the central theme. It critiques Eurocentric biases in several leading Western accounts of the rise of the global economy. This fall, I began my first lecture on Eurocentrism by asking my students, How Eurocentric is your day? I explained what I wanted to… Continue
