A dangerous moment in Palestinian History
Khalid Amayreh: “As an oppressed people our certainty is to be free”
9 March 2010 | Khalid Amayreh (*) is a journalist who lives in Hebron, a city brutalized and bloodied daily by armed Jewish settlers who are driving the authentic inhabitants by force. He is what might be called a true Palestinian; a man of integrity who was never seduced by financial rewards and prestige; a man standing who has remained with his martyred people in order to witness every day the atrocities he suffers at the hands of the Israeli army, but also, and this is the most painful, at the hands of the palestinian authorities of Ramallah. He himself has been imprisoned, savagely beaten without knowing why, by this Palestinian police to the training of which Bernard Kouchner is so pleased to have participated.

More political action outside Palestine!
26 December 2008 | This year, the Jewish state of Israel celebrated its 60 years of existence. An existence built on the theft of Arab lands, massacres and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians which started in 1948 and are continuing till now.

Israel, “guest of honour” in Paris and Turin, does not deserve to be invited
25 February 2008 | When the announcement that Israel would attend the "Fiera del libro" of Turin, (*) came out, an immediate wave of protest arose in Italy; and many personalities supported the boycott call, made by the Palestinian, Jordanian and Egyptian Writers’ Associations (**).
In France, strangely enough, the same invitation, to the "Salon du livre" of Paris, did not make much noise. Alone, the Israeli poet Aharon Shabtaï has refused to participate in these events, contrary to the 39 Israeli writers who accepted to be part of the Israeli delegation to these two exhibitions. Aharon Shabtaï explains here why these events –which he qualifies as "promotion of propaganda" for Israel-, must be boycotted, as well as any cultural event where this apartheid State is (...)

Palestine: People will vote with their stomach
20 December 2006 | The announcement of new presidential and parliamentary elections by Mahmud Abbas has plunged the people of Palestine, already suffering dreadfully from the terror spread by the Israeli army, into a series of bloody clashes. We have recorded the story of Ali, *a 35-year-old father of eight, who lives with his family in the cauldron known as the Gaza Strip. His worries are in contrast to the optimism and satisfaction with which the news of the new elections was presented to the world by Palestinian representatives such as Elias Senbar**

A Barbarian Army
22 July 2006 | In Nablus, as soon as night falls, one feels even more violently the climate of terror coming from Tsahal, that army of vandals equipped with such an impressive arsenal. Every night dozens of vehicles loaded with soldiers invade the besieged city. Recently, however, the population of Nablus is even more choked and persecuted than is usual.

In the light of the recent developments in the region, the accuracy of his analysis appears impressive and almost prophetic.

What is the political program of Hamas?
20 January 2006 | The Palestinian legislative elections held on January 25, 2006, in which Hamas won a majority of votes, appear to be a political earthquake.

In his answers to Silvia Cattori, Moshir al Masri introduces a resistance movement against a situation of extreme violence that has nothing to do with the fanaticism they are accused of.

Salim el Hoss suggests that the weakness of Arab regimes turns them into easy preys for the United States, a democratic country inside, but a country that imposes its despotism on the rest of the world.

Morrows that sing small
21 February 2004 | At times, when you realise that you can be killed on the spot ; you stand between anguish and hope and are astonished by the calmness the Palestinians show.
Threatened to be killed, insulted and loaded with insults, they find refuge in the silence. In fact, they developed an incredible ability to adapt, without which they could not survive the horrors they have to endure daily.
When one asks them if they are not afraid that a bullet takes over their destiny, they reply mischievously that the soldiers who treat them like animals, are much more frightened than they are.

A war of annihilation
25 January 2004 | I have returned from Palestine broken. Not because I’m faint hearted, or because – at Ben Gurion airport - the Israeli police perpetrated the ultimate humiliation by taking, until hell freezes over, the tools of my trade*.
I returned broken because of what I saw, of what I came to understand of the tragedy of which I was a witness: the war of racist extermination that Israel wages against civilians without the power to defend themselves, and who the world refuses to see.

One can not stop gazing at it. One can not stop asking oneself, why Israel brutalises it this way.
