REFLECTIONS ON THE PALESTINE RETURN MOVEMENT
By  Muhammad Jaradat, The Electronic Intifada, 11 April 2008

Muhammad Jaradat  looks at the history that shaped the
Palestinian Return Movement, the  obstacles and challenges
it faced -- both internal and external -- and  its
achievements towards the revitalization of the Palestinian
consensus  about the centrality of the right of return for
the future of the Palestinian  people and peace in  the
region.

Palestine  : Activism News:

ACTIVISTS URGE BOYCOTT OF JERUSALEM LITERATURE  FESTIVAL
Statement, Alternative Information Center, 10 April 2008

The  first International Writers' Festival is scheduled to
take place 11-15 May  2008 in Jerusalem, just three days
after Israel's official celebrations of 60  years of
independence. Substantially financed by the Israeli
Foreign  Ministry, this festival must necessarily be seen
in the context of the  Israeli government's wider public
relations campaign to bring international  artistic,
cultural and political figures to brighten the state's
image on  the international  stage.

Palestine  : Art, Music & Culture:

IN MEMORY OF ESTHER: CINEMA DUNIA
By Raja  Shehadeh, The Electronic Intifada, 10 April 2008

When I think of cinema  in Ramallah, I think of Esther
Jallad. She and her family were expelled from  their
wealthy home in the port city of Jaffa in 1948 and found
themselves  in the hilly village of Ramallah. In her
displacement, Esther carried one  passion with her: she
loved to go to the movies. She lived conveniently, next  to
one of the three cinemas in Ramallah, Cinema Dunia. Raja
Shehadeh  remembers a woman whose life imitated art, and a
lost Palestinian  past.

Palestine  : Diaries: Live from Palestine:

NO CHECKPOINTS IN HEAVEN
By Ramzy  Baroud, Live from Palestine, 8 April 2008

My father was a man who always  defied the notion that one
can only be the outcome of his circumstance.  Expelled from
his village at the age of 10, running barefoot behind  his
parents, he was instantly transferred from the son of a
landowning  farmer to a penniless refugee in a blue tent
provided by the United Nations  in Gaza. Ramzy Baroud
remembers his father who passed away on 18  March.

THE "HUMANITARIAN" SIDELINING OF NAHR AL-BARED
By  Ray Smith, Electronic Lebanon, 8 April 2008

On the rare occasions the  media have covered the situation
of destroyed Nahr al-Bared camp's more than  30,000
inhabitants, they have done so with only a narrow focus on
the  humanitarian problems they face -- ignoring the
glaring political questions  that only the camp residents
seem to be left asking. Ray Smith analyzes such  a report
for Electronic  Lebanon.
