MoreMay 29, 2009 | Two State Solution Only Option for Israel and ObamaMarco Vicenzino: Despite Benjamin Netanyahu being a reluctant peacemaker, the Israel-Palestinian conflict cannot be allowed to continue and a two state solution is the only viable solution for all parties. Despite early expectations, President Obama may not have the political capital to solve the dispute on his own. ... MoreJanuary 8, 2009 | Leadership In Gaza: Craven and DysfunctionalManuela Paraipan: The conduct of Hamas in the ongoing conflict in Gaza is jeopardizing any prospect of peace. They betray hypocrisy, cowardice and a total lack of respect for the Palestinian people. So long as such appaling leadership persists, there can be no resolution to this bloody conflict. ... MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesAugust 10, 2011 | US Must Back Palestinian Bid for StatehoodWith Israel evidently unwilling to negotiate, a UN vote on Palestinian recognition is the only road to creating a state. ++ Statehood alone will not resolve Israeli-Palestinian tensions, but the “long overdue” recognition would bring a level of equality to Palestinian negotiations with Israel and a measure of stability to the region. ++ Moreover, “the recognition of group identity is ... MoreJune 7, 2011 | Syria - a Fount of DisorderPresident Assad intends to downplay assaults on regime opponents by exciting attacks on Israel. ++ Syria gave a green light to Palestinian refugees to assemble in the “sealed-off military zone” of the Golan Heights. ++ The latter resulted in their attempt to breach Israeli border. ++ The attack was followed by Israeli fire which led to a number of casualties among the protestors. ++ ... MoreApril 6, 2010 | Time for the US to Curb Aid to IsraelThe growing rift between the US and Israel has exposed diverging “goals, expectations, and national interests.” ++ The US gives billions of dollars annually to Israel in military aid. ++ The best thing for the allies would be to cut financial ties. ++ This would allow Israel to pursue its own interests without outside influence, and the US would no longer be seen as favoring Israel. ... MoreFebruary 11, 2010 | Gaza Strip: "Another Brick in the Wall"Palestinian underground tunnellers face increasing difficulties from all parts to provide immured Gaza Strip with staple products and arms. ++ Among the numerous tricks designed to hinder the tunnels’ activities are the Israeli bombings, Hamas taxing policy and the Egyptian Wall, drowning is now the newest one. ++ Palestinians, accustomed to a hostile environment, see it more as a challenge ... MoreApril 20, 2009 | Fear Will Hold Israel BackA two-state solution is essential to Israel’s survival as a Jewish state. ++ Maintaining the occupation of Palestine and the building of settlements in the West Bank “gnaws at the very foundations of the Zionist dream”. ++ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for Palestinian leaders in the West Bank, who have recognized Israel, to go further and recognize it as a Jewish state, even before he ... MoreFebruary 25, 2009 | The International Community to the RescuePeace in Gaza should be brought about by the international community. ++ Great idea, but opposition from the Israeli government and Hamas are difficult obstacles to overcome. ++ There are therefore two options left: the international community should provide humanitarian relief in cooperation with Hamas, or it should focus on “genuine Palestinian reconciliation.” ++ The latter ... MoreJanuary 26, 2009 | Oxfam and Other Charities Guilty of Anti-IsraelismMark Thomson, DG of the BBC, has refused to broadcast the appeal of Disaster Emergency Committee for aid for Gaza, fearing that it would ruin the corporation’s impartiality. ++ The BBC itself is actually a clear pro-Palestinian institution but several of the charities that make up the DEC, Oxfam among others, are strongly anti-Israeli and guilty of “gross ideological bias.” ++ “Violence against ... MoreJanuary 22, 2009 | Solution Lies In "Isratine"As difficult as it might be to believe in view of the events of the last decades and the recent activity in Gaza, hatred between Jews and Muslim is a recent phenomenon. ++ Both descendents from Abraham, they not only coexisted but due to their cruel history of repeated persecution frequently “found refuge with one another.” ++ Thus, long lasting peace is not unreachable but may only be possible ... MoreJanuary 21, 2009 | Europe Responsible For War in the Middle EastIs the massive reconstruction aid currently being sent by Europe to the Middle East mere compensation for having been unable to prevent the recent Gaza War? ++ If the Palestinians lived in their own state, they wouldn’t need humanitarian aid. ++ “By not recognizing a freely elected Palestinian government, Europe has actively undermined the creation of one.” ++ Preventing the Palestinian people ... MoreJanuary 12, 2009 | Overactive, Mr Sarkozy?Taking office upon a promise of “a rupture” with French national and foreign policy, Nicolas Sarkozy differentiates himself from his predecessors through the active role he assumes in the international arena. ++ The current crisis in Gaza is a crisis which may well “measure up to Sarkozy’s metabolism.” ++ His different approach towards the US and Israel — he publicly stated that he ... MoreJanuary 6, 2009 | UN Must Condemn Palestinian Abuse of CiviliansPalestine’s exploitation of its refugees and use of children as human shields are among the most shameful practices in the Israel-Palestine conflict. ++ The international community has for years sustained these abuses: the UNRWA perpetuates the misery of Palestinian refugees, doing nothing to dismantle camps or help them rebuild their lives, acting as “facilitator for the ...
