The death of a Palestinian child on the Rafah Crossing in Gaza on yesterday evening brought the death toll amongst Gazans that have been stranded at the Rafah Crossing to 32. According to Palestinian sources, seventeen-year-old Abed Al Rahman Lubad was returning from Eygpt, where he had been receiving treatments for cancer.

After suffering months of poverty and violence...Read Full Story

Choices

By Laylatoot on  From caledoniyya.com
There comes a time in every leader’s life when choices have to be made along lines of what is right and wrong. If only it could be that easy. Right and wrong, though seemingly divisible are actually highly ambiguous: at times an action can be politically right, but morally wrong, and vice-versa.

Which is why I don’t envy the Egyptian government, who seem to be trapped in their own dilemma, and...Read Full Story

Through the years that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has raged, one image has stood out above the rest: Hanzala. The barefoot child, seen always from behind surveying varying levels of chaos and tragedy, has become synonymous with Palestine and the official logo of the Commission for Freedom and Justice Through Humor, an arm of WATCH and an affiliate of UNESCO . Born in 1937 in Al-Shajara village in Galilee, al-Ali was forced to leave Palestine in 1948 at the age of 11. Along with his...Read Full Story

Man vs. Nature

By Laylatoot on  From caledoniyya.wordpress.com

The tragedy that is unfolding across the Peloponnese and other areas of Greece is one of epic proportions, with sixteen people dying today alone - bringing the total figure of fatalities to over fifty.

The French newspaper Le Monde reports that the latest installation by 35-year-old Palestinian artist Mohamad Abusal is an imaginary subway system underneath Gaza. It is the idea of an artist, the vision of a poet, halfway between a surreal dream and self-derision: what if we built a metro in Gaza? There would be seven underground lines between Erez in the north and Rafah in the south, the two checkpoints that mark the borders with Israel and...
