Palestine Street offers up a personal and intimate version of the ‘Nakba’ and the times before and after, providing a description that reaches beyond political rhetoric and the history of the Middle East conflict.

Some of the people Al Jazeera talk to have not seen the street for 60 years, but it has never left them. They hang on to vivid details of when they were young.

Sheffield Indymedia: An Auschwitz survivor talks about Palestine

courtney — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:00:55 +0000

Hajo Meyer, an Auschwitz survivor, speaks in Sheffield on 25th January 2010 at a meeting organized by the Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign as part of a tour organized by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network. Meyer is joined by Dr. Haidar Eid of Al-Aqsa University.

On January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, leading politicians from the U.S. and Europe will join in honoring the memory of Jews killed in the Nazi genocide. Yet the immensity of that tragedy is dishonored by the hypocrisy of the ceremonies: those who pay homage to the victims of yesterday’s silence are silent about today’s inhumanity. We say, “Never again!” For anyone. Never again for the people of Gaza. Never again for all those struggling against dehumanization, racism and genocide everywhere, every day.

Dr. Hajo G. Meyer was born in 1924 in Bielefeld, Germany. Not allowed to attend school there after November 1938, he fled to the Netherlands, alone. In I944, after a year in the underground, he was caught and subsequently survived 10 months at Auschwitz. He lives in the Netherlands, where he works as publicist and essayist. A member of IJAN, Hajo Meyer is on the board of the Dutch group “A Different Jewish Voice”, part of the coalition of European Jews for Just Peace. He is the author of three books, on Judaism, Holocaust and Zionism.

Dr. Haidar Eid is a refugee whose parents were expelled from the Zarnouqa village in 1948. Dr. Eid is a member of the PACBI Steering Committee and a co-founder of the One Democratic State Group. He currently lives in Gaza, where he is an Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at Al-Aqsa University.

AIC: The Palestine Kairos Document

courtney — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:10:22 +0000

With publication of the Palestine Kairos Document, the Alternative Information Center interviewed Reverend Dr. Naim Ateek, a co-signatory of the document and founder of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center based in Jerusalem.

The Palestine Kairos Document, issued at a 11 December meeting in Bethlehem, echoes a similar summons issued by South African churches in the mid-1980s at the height of repression under the apartheid regime. That call served to galvanize churches and the wider public in a concerted effort that eventually brought the end of apartheid.

The authors of the Kairos Palestine Document believe that current efforts in the Middle East are confined to managing the crisis rather than finding pertinent and long term solutions to the crisis.

They reject any use of the Bible to legitimize or support political options and positions that are based upon injustice.

Through the logic of peaceful resistance, the authors believe that resistance is as much a right as it is a duty, as it has the potential to hasten the time of reconciliation. Reverend Dr. Ateek reviews the background and ideas behind the Palestine Kairos Document in this interview.

Fuel for Truth: Taking the fight against Islamist terrorism to a New York nightclub

To some young professionals, a routine night of drinking and dancing can be harnessed in the service of fighting the War on Terror. Fuel For Truth, a New York-based “pro-Israel” advocacy group, hosts events at Manhattan nightclubs, drawing crowds of upwards of 1,000. At Arm Yourself, an evening of what promoters termed “edutainment,” attendees were invited to “go clubbing for a cause—solidarity against terrorism and extremism.”

Palestine: Past, Present, and Future

The Gift of the Peace Movement in the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict

admin — Sat, 05 May 2007 16:38:26 +0000

Among the most invisible contributions of the gift economy are efforts deployed by activists, especially peace activists in Palestine. Dating back to the early 1900’s and continuing until today, Palestinian women have sought alternatives to conflict first by establishing charitable societies to provide food and shelter, and bring hope and healing to those devastated by the Zionist enterprise. Later, women became more politicized, took to the streets to protest and challenge the brutal occupation and to protect their children from Israeli soldiers. The world press continues to ignore this aspect of nonviolent struggle. While led by women, it has not been exclusive to women’s efforts. The Israeli response to peaceful demonstrations and civil disobedience has been incredibly brutal. Not only against Palestinians but also against internationals and Israelis –the International Solidarity Movement, Women in Black and others — who joined Palestinians in their struggle for freedom. In contrast, the U.S. government continues to underwrite the dismantling of Palestinian society by further militarizing Israel, providing it with financing, and giving it diplomatic cover in the form of a disingenuous “peace process” and the UN votes to shield Israel from international law. This presentation will contrast the patriarchal values underlying US policy to the values of the gift economy that characterize the struggle for Palestinian freedom.

This talk was presented by Sylvia Shihadeh at the International Conference on the Gift Economy in 2004.
