PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:
UN AID CHIEF TO EI: GAZA PEOPLE "STRIPPED OF THEIR
DIGNITY"
Rami Almeghari, The Electronic Intifada, 25 November 2008
The Electronic Intifada's correspondent in Gaza, Rami
Almeghari, sat down with UNRWA Chief of Operations in the
Gaza Strip, John Ging, to discuss how the siege, and the
latest closures are affecting UNRWA and the civilian
population in Gaza. UNRWA is the UN agency responsible for
providing aid to millions of Palestinian refugees. On 4
November, Israel sent tanks into the Gaza Strip and
carried out attacks which killed six Palestinians,
breaking a ceasefire that had generally held since June.

PHOTO ESSAY: A DARK NIGHT IN GAZA
Sameh A. Habeeb writing from the occupied Gaza Strip, Live
from Palestine, 25 November 2008
On Saturday, 22 November, I toured Gaza City and
authenticated the bleak reality of people through my
camera. The dark streets further demonstrating the
physical and spiritual fatigue experienced by
Palestinians, now enduring the 18th month of Israel's
siege while the world remains indifferent to their
suffering. Sameh Habeeb's photographs tell a story of
Gazans living without power.

BOOK REVIEW: ABDEL BARI ATWAN'S "COUNTRY OF WORDS"
Atef Alshaer, The Electronic Intifada, 24 November 2008
A Country of Words: from the Refugee Camps to the Front
Page is a remarkable Palestinian memoir, exceptional
because of its abundance of compassion, humor and
humility. Its author is Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of the
London-based Arabic-language daily al-Quds al-Arabi who
also wrote The Secret History of al-Qa'ida. Individuals
have their own lives and create their own narratives, and
for Atwan, his story begins in Palestine. Atef Alshaer
reviews for The Electronic Intifada.

PALESTINE : ACTIVISM NEWS:
A PALESTINIAN ACTION PLAN TO COMBAT ISRAELI RACISM
Adri Nieuwhof, The Electronic Intifada, 24 November 2008
In October 2008 the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions National Committee (BNC) published a strategic
position paper for the upcoming Durban Review Conference,
which will be held from 20-24 April 2009 in Geneva,
Switzerland. At the Conference, attending nations will
assess the progress made toward the Program of Action
adopted at the 2001 World Conference against Racism, which
called for end racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia
and related intolerance. However, Western governments have
repeatedly sidelined efforts to bring the case of the
systematic violation of the rights the Palestinian people
forward in the Durban review process.

PALESTINE : ACTION ITEMS:
ORGANIZE TO STOP APARTHEID DANCE TROUPE'S NORTH AMERICA
TOUR
Michelle J. Kinnucan, The Electronic Intifada, 25 November
2008
The Batsheva Dance Company of Tel Aviv is touring the US
and Canada in January, February, and March, 2009. A
recipient of public financing since the 1990s, the dance
troupe is clearly an Israeli apartheid cultural
institution. Writing October 26, 2008, in The Independent
of London, Jenny Gilbert reports that the dance company is
"funded by Israel's government, its performers include
none of Arab extraction, and it is 'proud to be considered
Israel's leading ambassador.'"
