The struggle makes an attempt to rise anew, despite animosity from the mayor and the use of Gilad Schalit’s release as yet another media spin.

Political PrisonersMazin Qumsiyeh - Popular Resistence - I read Nelson Mandel`s inspiring autobiography many years ago. His book was titled "Long Walk to Freedom" because it was done after the end of apartheid. Marwan Barghouthi`s book is not an autobiography in that sense because our people`s walk to freedom is still ongoing. It is thus titled "One thousand days in prison isolation cell" and refers to a part of the struggle 13/10/2011

A new Palestinian Intifada?Foreign Policy - Wendy Pearlman Palestinian society has been engaging in various kinds of protest for nearly 100 years. It is rightfully exhausted. Over the course of the twentieth century, whenever the question of Palestine reached a point of stagnation, it was typically Palestinian civilian men, women, and children who shook things up by mobilizing the meager resources at their disposal. We should stop wondering if or when they will do so again. Rather, it is time for the international community to use the resources at its disposal to help bring about a just and lasting peace, once and for all." ca "14/10/2011
