Excluding Narratives

As I wrote in my previous blog, the truce between Israel and the Palestinians is very shaky and many people on both sides expect that it will not hold. Of course people will blame this on the other side, and journalists and commentators will complain that both parties missed an important opportunity to end the bloody conflict. But what big opportunity exactly they are talking about?

Interesting... I still don't see why with an Arab Israeli population in Israel (those who were there when the country was formed) there can't be a Jewish Palestinian population in Palestine. Such a solution would mean populations don't need to be transfered when the borders are decided. When I mentioned this to something in relation to the Gza pull out they were shocked... "Because they'll all be killed if they stay" was their response. This suggests a larger problem in either Palestinain society or some people's perception of palestinian society. Either way ti is yet another problem to be addressed in order to get to a long term solution.

Ratna's Review on Israel, Zionism and Peace

Ratna's Review contains my thoughts on the Israel - Palestine conflict, the Jewish right to self determination (aka Zionism) and the Palestinian right to self determination, and especially the involvement of Europe with the conflict in the light of it's own history. I am Ratna Pelle, an academic from the Netherlands who has been active in several leftist movements for peace, environment and third world. I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian nor Israeli nor Arab.
