06-17-07 - At-Tuwani: Behind the Scenes of Civil War Cable news stations will
descend upon Gaza and Nablus like vultures, looking for sensational stories of
civil war. It is doubtful however that they will pause to consider any of the
underlying causes of the strife, such as the tightening Israeli noose that
reduces Palestinians to desperation, or the crippling international sanctions
levied upon them as punishment for their exercise of democratic choice. And
they surely will not take time to report on the people of At-Tuwani, Susiya,
Bethlehem, and Bil'in among many other places who carry the struggle forward
nonviolently. Their courage and commitment is on par with that of Mandela,
King, and Ghandi. Yet they do not ask for the fanfare these giants enjoyed, but
merely a little moral support from the outside world.

06-17-07 - Only one Palestinian cause Palestinians everywhere still deserve a unified, independent state. The Middle East, too, deserves to see one created simply to remove the Palestinian diaspora as a reason for strife and terrorism. Israel won't allow the Palestinian refugees - who were expelled or temporarily (so they thought) fleeing the fighting - to return to that nation. Israel insists that they return to the future Palestinian state. Do you really believe that they will allow millions of Palestinians to settle across the border from them? I doubt it. The Israelis would be vastly outnumbered.
