Talks continue in Jordan as Israeli building binge rolls on in the occupied territories
Today’s headlines predictably focus on the Jordanian-brokered talks between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Meanwhile, Peace Now has declared that the year 2011 saw Israel break “all its settlement-building records.”
Behind aid-cut to Palestinian Authority, more than meets the eye
On the surface, reports over the weekend that Congress has blocked $200 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) indicate that long-standing threats from U.S. politicians over the PA’s United Nations bid have come to fruition. But there’s much … Continue reading

The Palestinian Authority’s top gun in D.C.: Benjamin Netanyahu
The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) decision to buck the United States and ask the United Nations for statehood recognition has provoked a chorus of U.S. officials to threaten the PA with a cut-off in aid, among other consequences. But there will … Continue reading
September uprising? Hopes, prospects and obstacles for Palestinian popular struggle
The Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations (UN) was on the mind of the Tamimi family. Tea flowed and the coals on top of the nargileh pipe smoked on a warm Ramadan night last month in the West … Continue reading

Pro-Israel lobbyists work to save Palestinian Authority funding (and why should this be a surprise?)
Congressional threats to cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) have grown in recent weeks as the PA leadership forges toward action at the United Nations. But at least some Israel lobby groups are voicing opposition to any reduction … Continue reading

Serious questions on Palestine UN bid raised in legal opinion

Bipartisanship at last: U.S. politicians line up to castigate Palestinian unity deal
In stark contrast to partisan wrangling over the budget and women’s rights, Democrats and Republicans are lining up to demand the cut-off of U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority as a response to the reported unity deal between Hamas and … Continue reading
Palestinian unity movement’s goal strikes at heart of Israeli occupation strategy of divide and conquer
The slogans are simple enough: “the people want an end to the division,” tens of thousands of young protesters in Gaza and the West Bank chanted as their protest movement demanding Palestinian political unity kicked off March 14. But beneath … Continue reading
Only serious dissent on the Palestinian street will change the game: Former PLO negotiator Diana Buttu on the ‘Palestine Papers’ and the Egyptian uprising
The publication of nearly 1,700 leaked files by Al Jazeera on negotiations between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority has been largely overshadowed by the uprising in Egypt. But that doesn’t mean they don’t matter for the future of … Continue reading
Palestine Papers: Why there will never be a State of Palestine
