AND SO IT CONTINUES: 26 YEARS AFTER THE MASSACRE

Palestine : Opinion/Editorial:


By Laurie King, The Electronic Intifada,

This week marks the 26th anniversary of the Sabra and
Shatila massacre, one of the bloodiest events of the
second half of the twentieth century. A Google search for
recent news reports on this year's commemoration of the
atrocity, however, brought up very little. The Electronic
Intifada co-founder Laurie King comments that the failure
to hold massacre perpetrators accountable has let the
atrocities continue.

FORGOTTEN AT THE GAZA-EGYPT BORDER
By Eva Bartlett, Live from Palestine, 17 September 2008

Silenced and out of the international spotlight, the
hundreds of Palestinians waiting in al-Arish said that
their plight at the closed crossing is either ignored or
politicized. Many were running out of money, while others
had completely run out, having waited for the opening of
Rafah for weeks without earning an income. Eva Bartlett
writes from al-Arish.

NABLUS, VIBRANT DESPITE IT ALL
By Frank Barat, Live from Palestine, 17 September 2008

Many Palestinians that I met during my travels in the West
Bank told me that to know what Palestine really was about
and meant, I had to go to Nablus. Most of them also told
me that Nablus was their favorite city. After spending
five weeks there this summer, I understand why. Frank
Barat writes of the city that teems with life.

I married Muaiad Abu Rideh two years ago, and had a baby
girl, Shadah, a year ago. She was born in my seventh month
of pregnancy but is fine now. Seven months ago, I became
pregnant again. Last Thursday [4 September], I had sharp
stomach pains and I started to bleed badly.
