    Phil- you were in Bilin?! Could've said hi ;)

    Yes :(

• Israeli soldier shoots protester in face at close range with teargas canister

    For a second, I doubted my Palestinian identity. Who knew there existed a white supremacist layer in me?

    What a stupid act indeed. I am sick and tired of repeating the same thing over and over again to people who parade their self-righteousness with no concept of any context. Throwing rocks at the occupier is NOT a violent act. It has its own history for Palestinians, even before the first intifada. Throwing rocks at a brutal Nazi army is NOT a violent act. Being subjected to sound bombs, high velocity tear gas canisters fired deliberately at head level, and being shot at with rubber coated steel bullets (and live ammunition, depending on the mood of the soldiers) and responding by throwing a rock does NOT negate a peaceful protest. Chanting "peacefully" elicits the same reaction. So how's that for a stupid act? Efft.

• Do we really need another 'Gandhi'?

    Where are all the Palestinian Ghandis? Killed or arrested. See Bassem Abu-Rahmeh, Bassem Tamimi, and Naji Tamimi.

• A wedding under apartheid

    this is so sad, even more so because my family has been living through this for 2 years now. what if in the future my wedding will be in the west bank and my dad can't attend bc of his gaza id? this sobered me up a lot, bc unlike my parents i try not to think of the future at all.

• Love During Wartime: Interview with director Gabriella Bier

    Annie, every Palestinian family has had at least one member imprisoned by Israel. From 1967 to the present day, 750,000 Palestinians have been detained. I'm still getting my head wrapped around that bit.

• Israel's racist response to Itamar murders would be unthinkable in the U.S.
  • Linah March 25, 2011 at 7:05 pm

    Love this piece.

    I just wanted to add that in the days following the murders of the settlers, Nablus and its surrounding areas were completely cut off, resulting in half empty classrooms at Birzeit Uni as students couldn't get anywhere near Ramallah.

• No yellow no green on March 15

    On two separate occasions a couple of years ago I got followed around by a group of guys in Ramallah because I was wearing a perfectly normal green shirt, leering and calling me a "Hamsawiya".

    And I thought that green was my color.

    Anyhoo, we'll see what comes out of Abbas's visit to Gaza, although just like you said many people want both parties to just dieeeee
