The man who sold the world: Dr. Erekat is back
The sad but true story of chief Palestinian negotiator Dr. Saeb Erekat. Can the hero of the Palestine Papers survive another round of peace talks? By Hakim Bishara There was a time, back in the 1990s, when inveterate Palestinian negotiator Dr. Saeb Erekat was on top of his game. Confident, eloquent and dolled up with…

A real alternative? Tzipi Livni is far worse than Netanyahu
Despite her direct responsibility for two wars which took the lives of 2,000 civilians, and her uncompromising, hawkish positions during negotiations with the Palestinians, Tzipi Livni is still considered an acceptable choice for the Israeli ‘peace camp.’ It is time for the public to stop believing the lies. By Idan Landau On November 27, 2012,…

The Voice of People: Not always what you expect
The attack in Itamar on Friday night brought out some of the most vicious sentiments among Israelis and Palestinians, and between Israelis on all sides of the many political divides. It’s appalling that some people have justified/won’t condemn the attack on children, or that others support collective reprisals against Palestinian communities and expanding the occupation…

Palestinian chief negotiator’s resignation signals futility of PA
My initial reaction to the resignation of chief Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat was sadness. Erekat has been a staple of negotiations for as long as I can remember and his leaving marks the end of an era. Erekat claims he left because he had to assume responsibility for the fact that the leaked Palestine…

The Palestine Papers: our red lines have been crossed
The Palestine Papers show that Palestinian negotiators ran out of cards a long time ago, writes this despairing Palestinian commentator By Shadi P. Around 1,600 documents about the Palestinian- Israeli secret negotiations have leaked so far. Unfortunately, we do not have any photos of the meetings. Some Palestinians were anxious to see photos because they…

What do Tunisia, Lebanon and Egypt have to do with the Palestine Papers?
I am deeply moved by the events in Tunisia. The uprising is proof, once again, that liberty and justice are indeed for all: for Americans under Jim Crow, for the Chinese in Tiananmen Square, and for Tunisians too, these truths are self-evident and universal. Tunisia is a great riposte to racist arguments that the Arab/Middle…

Shoot the messenger: Blaming Al Jazeera for the Palestine Papers
The so-called Palestine Papers, the first of which were released this week by Al Jazeera, have fallen into a trap seen all too frequently. Rather than dealing with the actual message and content, those affected by the leak instead have chosen to shoot the messenger One Palestinian official directly targeted the country that hosts and…

Wild Card Pt. X: unilateralism is the only way left
There are two things to learn from the Palestine Papers (which we already knew): America’s role has come to an end, and there’s no longer a need for negotiations The Palestine Papers are indeed quite a leak – but just like its sister-leak in Wikileaks (the diplomatic cables), which were labeled as one of the…

The leaders got it all wrong: Palestinian view on Palestine Papers
There are no real surprises in the Palestine Papers. The PA’s stumbling, incoherent responses to the allegedly scandalous revelations are not surprising either. The real lesson to be gleaned from the documents is that the Palestinian negotiators failed to understand the goal of ‘peace’ negotiations By Maath Musleh The revelations in the Palestine Papers, which…

Palestine Papers reveal limits of Israeli power
The Palestine Papers themselves are not that interesting or revelatory. However, the way they have been paraded in the media in the mere 24 hours since their release is. If you take a look at the vast amounts of coverage, reactions and commentaries, they are all framed in the discourse of a simple power struggle.…

Rice on Naqba: “Bad things happen to people all the time”
Like the Wikileaks documents, the Palestine Papers are interesting not just because of their revelations (some of these scoops were known before), but also, and perhaps even mostly, because of the tone and style of statesmen behind closed doors. This nugget is from the Guardian: PA leaders repeatedly threatened to abandon attempts to negotiate a…

The Palestine Papers: The ultimate confirmation
The cables released last night by Al Jazeera, which form the Palestine Papers, have provided ultimate confirmation of what many on the ground have known for some time – Israel is not interested in an equitable two state solution. Instead Israel is interested in maintaining the status quo, which necessarily means that both Palestinian and…
