Mazin Qumsiyeh on Being Positive

From now on our posts will have more positive than negative
links/stories. But first an unclassified note (time will tell impact):
Israeli warplanes attacked Syria.  The Palestinian negotiating team
submitted its resignation following Israel’s announcement of building thousands of new Jewish colonial settler homes on Palestinian lands and its announcement of thousands of home demolitions for native Jerusalemites. The significance is unknown since it seems these same guys keep going back to “negotiations” and have convinced themselves they have no options (to maintain their salaries).  The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Being Positive

Today: Saterday Nov 5) we meet in Ramallah for a study day to work and organize for a positive future: one democratic secular state in historic Paleatine.
