The latest declaration by the US government has put a greater onus on other countries unite against Israeli occupation, writes Daoud Kuttab

All the main parties in Israel’s election are playing a game of hawkish one-upmanship that spells trouble for any hope for a peace in the divided country says Daoud Kuttab.

Boycotts, divestments, and sanctions are needed until all Palestinians are allowed to live freely in a truly independent state alongside Israel, writes Daoud Kuttab.

ANY suggestion, as was made in a recent Irish Examiner editorial, that international support for Israel’s existence and right to defend itself “feeds extremism” and, in particular, the extremism that led to the 9/11 attacks is based on a false premise.

WITH Gaza under the control of Hamas, pity poor Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah, who took over as president of the Palestinian Authority two-and-a-half years ago, after the death of Yasser Arafat.
