FILM REVIEW: PALESTINE 1948 NAKBA
By Maureen Clare Murphy, The Electronic Intifada, 30 June 2008

Shortly after he moved to Kibbutz Dalia in central Israel
in 1967, photographer Ryuichi Hirokawa stumbled upon some
"white stones scattered in rubble." He asked the residents
of the kibbutz about the origins of the stones, but he
never received a satisfactory answer. Through Hirokawa's
quest to unearth the origins of those white stones he
learned the story of Palestine, and it is this lifelong
journey that he presents in his documentary Palestine 1948
Nakba, reviewed for The Electronic Intifada by Maureen
Clare Murphy.

TACTICS THAT ENDED APARTHEID IN S. AFRICA CAN END IT IN ISRAEL
By Bill Fletcher, Jr., The Electronic Intifada, 29 June 2008

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict often inspires a sense of
powerlessness. What can average Americans do to bring an
end to this decades-old conflict when our leaders have
failed so miserably? And what good is speaking out about
Israel's occupation of Palestinian land as the primary
obstacle to peace when even former President Jimmy Carter
and Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu are condemned
for their criticism of Israeli policies? Bill Fletcher,
Jr. comments.

ZIONISM'S DEAD END
By Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 27 June 2008

The following is adapted from a talk by Jonathan Cook
delivered at the Conference for the Right of Return and
the Secular Democratic State, held in Haifa on 21 June
2008: In 1895 Theodor Herzl, Zionism's chief prophet,
confided in his diary that he did not favor sharing
Palestine with the natives. Better, he wrote, to "try to
spirit the penniless [Palestinian] population across the
border by denying it any employment in our own country ...
Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the
poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."
