For the next few days Adam Horowitz will be moving and Phil Weiss will be traveling, so the site will be in a bit of a lull. Read a good book. We should catch up some by the weekend. In the meantime the A Team of Alex Kane, Allison Deger and Annie Robbins will be posting from time to time. Thanks for visiting us, thanks for making our issue important. We’re not going away.

Enjoy your lull! Can the A Team post other people’s stuff, if any of us hit on something really good?
Being given a few days away from obsessively checking the Mondoweiss site will perhaps allow me to finish my current “good book”, Saree Makdisi’s “Palestine Inside Out”, which I highly recommend. On my “recently read” list, which I also recommend for anyone else who needs reading material to fill this partial Mondoweiss “hiatus” is Karl Sabbagh’s “Palestine: A Personal History”, a great basic history from the Palestinian perspective, including the involvement and roles of the author’s own family. Also don’t miss Miko Peled’s, “The General’s Son”. It’s a great book to cite when arguing with your Zionist friends and relatives, given that Miko comes from an impeccable Zionist background and eloquently describes how his misgivings developed. In fact, it’s a good book to actually give to your Zionist friends and relatives, if you dare. And grab the ebook version of Pamela Olson’s “Fast Times in Palestine” before it goes temporarily off line at the end of the month in preparation for her “Mainstream” publication. Also a great gift – my 22 year old daughter is absolutely in awe of her and of the book.
Ah yes, the old midsummer lull, when posts get a little thin on the ground. Hey but maybe you could get some second rate stuff to fill in. You know, tell some commenter he’s a good expresser or something, and he’ll turn himself inside out to write something for the site.
Another possibility; since the posts at Mondoweiss are so timely, so attached to the events happening when they are written, it might be interesting to re-post something (the first post, posts over time on one subject, something like that) and see how it looks today.

I like times like this. It’s kind of like when Mom and Dad go away for the weekend and the kids throw a party and trash the house. Ha!
With a post like this, you’re just asking for a massive influx of Hasbara trolls and plenty of fisticuffs.
Should be fun!
