The Third Intifada

This is an article/interview that I did in collaboration with a friend of mine from Palestine two years ago, which received plenty of attention at my school during that time. We tried to convey the perspective of an insider who has lived all her life under occupation in a city with most settlements.

    Middle Ground Video - Israel & Palestine

    Discussion 
    Jubilee recently did a very insightful and fascinating video where they sat down three Israelis and three Palestinians to talk about their differences and similarities regarding the Israel-Palestine crisis. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jj8vne0ca0 If you watched it, what are your thoughts?

    Trump Recognizes Jerusalem

    Discussion 
    "President Donald Trump has announced that the US formally recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and will begin the process of moving its embassy to the city, breaking with decades of US policy." ...He added he is not taking position on any final status issues, including contested borders. Trump said he intends "to do everything" in his power to help forge a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians. ...Shortly after Trump's speech, Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said the US president "destroyed any possibility of peace" and was "pushing this region towards chaos [and] violence"."

    Another good gesture!

    Discussion 
    Last time I mentioned the efforts of the farmers to take their profession beyond the limits and boundaries and all the conflicts under a UN project. This time women took the lead to break the isreal-Palestinian stereotype and express some good-will and compassion. Here is what cnn wrote on Oct 9 about the good-will gesture:- "Palestinian and Israeli women take part in a peace march near the Dead Sea. Under a white tent on the shores of the Dead Sea, Huda Abuarquob's frustration melted away. Dancing arm-in-arm with thousands of Israeli and Palestinian women, she felt hope surround her. "The women, who came together Sunday morning in the "Peace Tent," had marched through the desert to the lowest point on earth, to demand an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many were dressed in white as a symbol of peace.The march was the culmination of two weeks of events, attended by more than 30,000 women, throughout Israel and the West Bank, organized by Women Wage Peace, a grassroots organization calling for a "bilaterally acceptable political agreement."
