Palestine :  Opinion/Editorial:

PALESTINIAN DIASPORA: WITH OR AGAINST  COLLABORATION?
By Laith Marouf, The Electronic Intifada, Sep 14,  2007

In the past few months, Palestinians in the Diaspora have
watched  with horror the latest developments in their
homeland. There has been a  flurry of articles about what
to do, but overall there is a feeling that they  are
helpless to affect the situation on the ground. What has
been missing  is an understanding that Palestinians in the
Diaspora must undertake a clear  assessment of their own
situation if they are to have any impact at all.  Laith
Marouf comments for EI.

Lebanon  : Diaries: Live from Lebanon:

AFTER 25 YEARS, WHO REMEMBERS?
By  Franklin Lamb, Live from Lebanon, Sep 13, 2007

Dearest Janet, It's a very  beautiful fall day here in
Beirut, 25 years ago this week since the 16-18  September
1982 Massacre at the Palestinian refugee camps at
Sabra-Shatila.  It actually rained last night, enough to
clean out some of the humidity and  dust. Fortunately, not
enough to make the usual rain-created swamp of sewage  and
filth on Rue Sabra, or flood the grassless burial ground
of the mass  grave where you once told me that on Sunday,
19 September 1982, you watched,  sickened, as families and
Red Crescent workers created a subterranean  mountain of
butchered and bullet-riddled victims from those 48 hours
of  slaughter. Franklin Lamb writes from Beirut.

Palestine  : Human Rights:

UN REPORT: SETTLEMENTS SQUEEZING OUT  PALESTINIANS
Report, The Electronic Intifada, Sep 12, 2007

HEBRON  HILLS, WEST BANK, 11 September (IRIN) - Israeli
settlements in the West Bank  are having a severe
humanitarian impact on rural Palestinian areas,  according
to a report by the UN Office for the Coordination  of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on 30 August. The settlements
disconnect  Palestinians from agricultural land and limit
their movement, restricting  access to markets and water
resources, the report, entitled "The Humanitarian  Impact
of Israeli Infrastructure in the West Bank," said. In the
southern  Hebron Hills area a conflict between Israeli
settlers and Palestinians over  land and water resources is
apparent.
