Saudi Arabia: Thank you, but no thank you!

As Saudi Arabia attempts to assume the unilateral leadership role in the Arab World, it has welcomed the Palestinian issue as a component in the negotiations because it is looking for a save-face measure in front of the Arab and Muslim worlds to normalize with Israel, which seems to be one of the conditions the Biden Administration has placed on Saudi Arabia to be able to reach a historic U.S.- Saudi Arabia deal.

Non-violently resisting Israeli military occupation, with a scalpel [Book Review]

Through recounting his own spectacular life, Dr. Shawki Harb’s memoir, “A Surgeon Under Israeli Occupation,” depicts Palestinian reality from the British Mandate to today. Born a Christian and breastfed by a Muslim, Dr. Harb embodies the best of both traditions. If you are from my generation or older in Palestine, you know and respect the person even if you have never crossed paths with him.

“My Tree” documentary tracks a JNF donation to its final destination

My Tree follows Jason Sherman’s journey to find the tree that was planted in his name in Israel many years earlier. When he discovers that it stands on the remains of a Palestinian village that was destroyed in 1967, he embarks on another journey — to determine his responsibility in helping to cover up the destruction.

“Rooted in Palestine: Palestinian Christians and the Struggle for National Liberation 1917-2004” [Recommended]

Palestinian Christians are not only an integral part of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and independence, but they have also been pillars of Palestinian politics, resistance, business, culture, art, and so much more. Rooted in Palestine is a commendable synopsis of the Palestinian Christian community, interwoven with the history of the Church in Palestine and the inner dynamics of Palestine’s liberation movement. I congratulate my friend Xavier Abu Eid for this invaluable contribution to the documentation of Palestine and Palestinians.
