PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

WHY OBAMA'S PEACE PROCESS IS STILL GOING NOWHERE
Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 30 July 2009

Much of the debate about US President Barack Obama's push
for Middle East peace resembles the proverbial argument
about whether the glass is half full or half empty. But
even a full glass is not very useful if you need to fill
an entire reservoir. The constant focus on process and
gimmicks has obscured the reality that a workable
two-state solution is almost certainly unachievable. Ali
Abunimah comments.

PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

USING THE UN TO UNDERMINE PALESTINIAN RIGHTS
Hasan Abu Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 29 July 2009

Having himself been such a key part of the failed peace
process, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana recently
made a seemingly bold proposal that the UN Security
Council "mandate" a resolution of central issues in the
Palestine/Israel conflict -- borders, refugees, Jerusalem,
settlements and security arrangements. What lies behind
this surprise move? Hasan Abu Nimah comments.

PALESTINE : DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE:

HOMEWARD BOUND: GAZA IN 24 HOURS
Dr. Mona El-Farra, Live from Palestine, 28 July 2009

As soon as I arrived home I felt a great relief, if that
is the right word. I have been unable to return to Gaza
before because of Israel's winter invasion and the ongoing
siege. I am not sure that the word relief summarizes my
intense and conflicting emotions. Mixed feelings of
relief, happiness, but also disorientation continued to
overwhelm me. Dr. Mona El-Farra writes from the Gaza
Strip.

PALESTINIANS IN ISRAEL FORCED TO STUDY ZIONIST ANTHEM
Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 28 July 2009

A leading Arab educator in Israel has denounced the
decision of Gideon Saar, the education minister, to
require schools to study the Israeli national anthem.
Officials announced last week that they were sending out
special "national anthem kits" to 8,000 schools, including
those in the separate Arab education system, in time for
the start of the new academic year in September.

PALESTINE : ROLE OF THE MEDIA:

LIES AND ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES
Ben White, The Electronic Intifada, 28 July 2009

This month marked six months since the "official"
conclusion to Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip,
"Operation Cast Lead." Electronic Intifada contributor Ben
White looks at some of the strategies of Israel's campaign
of disinformation, confusion, and lies -- and the reality
of its war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

BOOK REVIEW: "ISRAELI APARTHEID: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE"
Raymond Deane, The Electronic Intifada, 27 July 2009

In pondering "a different kind of future," author Ben
White in his new book Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's
Guide stresses that there is no point in "trying to 'undo'
things that cannot be undone." He castigates rhetoric
about a "two-state solution" or demands that Palestinians
should "compromise," as if the solution could bypass the
dissolution of Israeli apartheid. Raymond Deane reviews
for The Electronic Intifada.
