Dear ePalestine friends,<\/p>\n

I’d like to use this opportunity of sharing my first 2016 published article by wishing you all a Happy New Year. Although we have much to be thankful for, times are far from happy. <\/p>\n

I share in the attached my end of year and new year thought for reflection — the word Querencia<\/em>. It is a Spanish word I came across on New Year’s eve while reading Barry Lopez’s The Rediscovery of North America<\/em>, which I recommend. The concept behind this word spoke volumes to me during these times as I think about life, struggle, Palestine, fleeing and resident refugees, and the present, before even the future.<\/p>\n

Below is my latest article, co-written by my very capable friends and colleagues Nur Arafeh and Wassim Abdullah.<\/p>\n

Onward and upward, despite all,<\/p>\n

Sam<\/p>\n

Let Palestinians control their ICT resources<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIsraeli restrictions on the telecom industry have hobbled Palestine’s already beleaguered economy<\/em><\/p>\n

by Nur Arafeh @NurArafeh , Sam Bahour @SamBahour & Wassim Abdullah<\/p>\n

“Without full Palestinian control over the ICT infrastructure, any investment in the sector risks becoming a project to “manage” the occupation, rather than a catalyst for Palestinian economic growth.”<\/p>\n
