Palestine : Opinion/Editorial:
THE SENATOR, HIS PASTOR AND THE ISRAEL LOBBY
By Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 31 March 2008
For months, even before most Americans had heard of
Senator Barack Obama’s pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright,
prominent pro-Israel activists were hounding Obama over
Wright’s views on Israel and ties to Nation of Islam
leader Louis Farrakhan. In January, Abraham Foxman,
National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, demanded
that Obama denounce Farrakhan as an anti-Semite. The
senator duly did so, but that was not enough. EI
co-founder Ali Abunimah comments.

CROSSING THE LINE INTERVIEWS JOURNALIST JONATHAN COOK
Podcast, The Electronic Intifada, 31 March 2008
This week on Crossing the Line: According to much of the
international media, Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Matan
Vilnai was apparently “misunderstood” when he said that
Gaza faced a “shoah,” the Hebrew word for “holocaust.” But
was his comment really misunderstood? Host Naji Ali speaks
with Nazareth-based journalist Jonathan Cook about
Vilnai’s remarks and the Israeli government’s longer-term
strategy for Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Palestine : Diaries: Live from Palestine:
THE STONES OF SUHMATA
By Isabelle Humphries, Live from Palestine, 30 March 2008
Unlike the majority of Palestinian refugees dispersed
across the Middle East and beyond, Wagih Semaan can drive
a few kilometers from his house, cross a ditch and a fence
and sit in the stones of the village he was driven out of
at the age of 11. But despite his Israeli “citizenship,”
he is no more able to return to live on his land than the
Palestinian sitting in Ein al-Hilwe camp across the
Lebanese border. Isabelle Humphries writes from Suhmata.

ANTI-ARAB RACISM AND INCITEMENT IN ISRAEL
By Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 30 March 2008
Israeli society is in the grip of a wave of unchecked
racism and incitement that seriously threatens Israel’s
Palestinian community and the long-term prospects for
regional peace. This Palestine Center briefing by Ali
Abunimah examines societal and institutional racism and
incitement by public figures against Israel’s Arab
population and considers some policy implications.
