Why Palestine is different
US Secretary of State John Kerry is making an all-out effort to restart peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine. Many well-intentioned, highly intelligent people from around the world have engaged in some way, shape or form in the Palestinian-Israeli issue and many of these people have had (...)

A festival of resistance
Though living under Israeli military occupation, the Palestinians are keeping their memories and culture alive, writes Sam Bahour in Al-Bireh Those damn Palestinians. They refuse to sit still. They just don't get it. They are unable to fathom their reality. The more outrageous their situation (...)

A PALESTINIAN VIEW: The Quartet facade

The Elders' next move
RAMALLAH: At long last a spotlight is shining on Palestinian nonviolent efforts to throw off the Israeli occupation.

No coexistence with occupation
The allies of Israel like to think that the Palestinians are backed against a wall. They are gravely mistaken, again, writes Sam Bahour* Palestinians have been historically outmanoeuvred, politically neutralised, and made totally dependant on international handouts. Or have they? A newly released (...)

PSE reflects Palestine's extraordinary circumstances
One of Palestine s many bittersweet economic achievements since the Oslo peace accords is the establishment of the Palestine Securities Exchange. Based in the troubled northern West Bank city of Nablus, the exchange shares the reality of a brutal military occupation alongside the never-ceding (...)

RAMALLAH and JERUSALEM: The latest rift between the United States and Israel, which began with the Israeli announcement of more construction planned for Ramat Shlomo – a Jewish-only neighborhood that would further separate East Jerusalem from the rest of a future Palestinian state — distracts (...)
