PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:
REBUILDING A GENERAL UNION OF PALESTINIAN STUDENTS
By Raja Abdulhaq, The Electronic Intifada, 1 December 2008
From the very beginning, students have played an active
role in the Palestinian national movement. Their
enthusiasm, motivation, and hard work help them to
overcome even the most daunting tasks. Organizing rallies,
academic events, political debates, fundraising, cultural
programs, students demonstrate the great influence they
are able to assert on societies divided by war, engrossed
by political strife, and weakened by economic turmoil. The
Electronic Intifada contributor Raja Abdulhaq argues that
the General Union of Palestinian Students must be rebuilt.

GAZA'S DEATH THROES, AND NO ONE'S LISTENING
By Sonja Karkar, The Electronic Intifada, 27 November 2008
The slow death that is being visited on the Palestinians
in Gaza is finding its first victims in more than 400
critically ill patients who are being prevented from
leaving Gaza for urgent medical attention in Israeli or
Arab hospitals. Thousands of other patients are being
turned away from hospitals suffering from a severe
shortage of 300 different kinds of medicines. Sonja Karkar
comments.

GAZAN BAKERS COPE UNDER SIEGE
By Rami Almeghari, Live from Palestine, 27 November 2008
Israel's 17-month siege, tightened over the past three
weeks, has forced Palestinians to find other ways to meet
their basic needs. Because Israel has closed border
crossings into Gaza, the 1.5 million residents lack many
essential supplies including food, medicines, fuel,
cooking gas, and now, electricity. Rami Almeghari writes
from the Gaza Strip.

PALESTINE : DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE:
THE STRUGGLE IS NOT OVER: REMEMBERING MOHAMMED AL-KURD
By Pam Rasmussen, Live from Palestine, 26 November 2008
The saying that a man's home is his castle goes back to
the 1500s. Whether it is a mansion or a mud hut, a home to
which you can retreat and be safe is a basic human need.
But since 2001, Abu Kamel (Mohammed al-Kurd), his wife and
five children were forced to fight every day for the right
to stay in the East Jerusalem home his family had lived in
for decades. Pam Rasmussen remembers Abu Kamel.
