what would be enough?
» ‎ Body on the Line

There are so many reasons I’m happy to be in Palestine and not in the U.S. right now. Having to endure only a minimal amount of election coverage is one of those reasons–especially during convention season. But it is really frustrating to be an American abroad during this time, too. Because people are constantly coming [...]

» ‎ PalCast

This week on Crossing The Line: An Israeli court found no evidence that soldiers acted improperly in the killing of a Reuters cameraman, we’ll hear from Palestinian journalist Rami Almeghari about the ruling, reactions too it, and doing journalism while under siege.

Also this week, Palestinian, Israeli and International peace activists have set sail on two boats for the Gaza coast. Israel has stated that it is within its right to use force if necessary against the activists, we’ll speak with one of the participants – Paul Larudee — as the boats steam towards Gaza.

And finally a commentary by Mumia Abu-Jamal regarding the conflict between Russia and Georgia, all that’s coming up stay tuned, but first the news from Palestine.

Democracy Now: “Free Gaza” Boats Set Sail from Cyprus to Break Israeli Blockade
» ‎ PalCast

Two converted fishing boats set sail from Cyprus today carrying more than forty activists and humanitarian workers who are part of the Free Gaza movement that is trying to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli foreign ministry said in an open letter to the participants, “We assume that your intentions are good but, in fact, the result of your action is that you are supporting the regime of a terrorist organization in Gaza.” We speak with three of the activists at sea: Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement; Lauren Booth, a journalist and sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair; and Israeli anthropology professor Jeff Halper of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions.

ناشطة أميركية «ممانعة»
» ‎ Body on the Line

ناشطة أميركية «ممانعة» قد يتوصّل بعض الأفراد إلى الفصل بين الاعتبارات السياسية والعمل الإنساني، لكنّ بعضاً آخر يعجز عن ذلك. الأميركية مارسي نيومان هي ناشطة من الصنف الثاني. فبعد حضورها اجتماعين تنظيميين في الولايات المتحدة، وعند اكتشافها وجود إسرائيليين في المشروع، امتنعت عن المشاركة لأنها رأت في ذلك تطبيعاً. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، ترى نيومان أن المشروع [...]

There is an ominous feeling in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. I’ve heard it before: Fouad Siniora wants to force tawteen (nationalization) on Palestinians so that they give up al awda (their right of return) to Palestine. Over the past couple of years President Bush’s close relationship with Siniora has exacerbated that fear, especially [...]
