SHADES OF GREY: NUSSEIBEH'S "ONCE UPON A  COUNTRY"
By Miko Peled, The Electronic Intifada, 30 November 2007

In  his new historical autobiography Once Upon A Country,
Dr. Sari Nusseibeh, who  many accuse of selling out due to
his comments regarding the right of return,  highlights the
shades of grey in a conflict that most people prefer to
see  in black and white. Miko Peled reviews Nusseibeh's new
book and finds that it  shows that neither Rabin, or Barak
or any other Israeli prime minister had  ever intended to
make peace with the Palestinians. Their intention was,  and
still is, to turn the Palestinian people into "hewers of
wood and  drawers of water" for the Jewish state that was
established on the ashes of a  country that, as the book
title suggests, once upon a time  existed.

Palestine  : Opinion/Editorial:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
By Osamah Khalil, The  Electronic Intifada, 29 November 2007

So it is over. The much heralded  Annapolis "meeting"
attended by over 50 countries and organizations has  ended,
and the result is a vague, non-binding agreement to  begin
negotiating. In typical fashion, the Bush administration
has hailed  the conference of low-expectations and even
less tangible results as a  "success." Instead of donning a
flight suit and landing on an aircraft  carrier, US
President George W. Bush offered his best Bill  Clinton
imitation presiding over a ceremonial handshake between
Israeli  Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas, like an  approving father or Roman
emperor. Osamah Khalil comments for EI.

AFTER 40 YEARS OF OCCUPATION "SOLIDARITY" IS NOT  ENOUGH
Press Release, Al-Haq, 29 November 2007

Over the past 40 years  Israel's occupation of the West
Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza  Strip has
aggressively targeted both the land and the people of  the
Occupied Palestinian Territory. Not simply haphazard
structures of  concrete, steel and tarmac, Israel's
settlements and their accompanying maze  of bypass roads,
hundreds of checkpoints, other movement restrictions  and
the Annexation Wall, are ever-increasing monuments to  the
dispossession and subjugation of the Palestinian people,
at the  expense of their fundamental rights guaranteed
under international  law.
