The
Story Of A Palestinian Nightingale
By Samah Jabr, Palestine Chronicle, August 02 2002
If anyone was born to be a nurse, it was Rinad, my pleasant
and compassionate head nurse colleague. A midwife, she
has worked for the past 10 years in Al-Makassed Hospital’s
Obstetrics and Gynecology department, demonstrating daily
her remarkable devotion to her humanitarian career and
her strong sense of belonging to the community she serves.
There
Are Middle Eastern Peace Activists
By Karen Nakamura, Coastal Post Online, July 2002
Intimidation and death threats are on the increase in
the United States. Attacks against synagogues and mosques
are up significantly. But there is another segment of
society that is rarely acknowledged yet has been inundated
with hate mail, death threats and intense pressure to
make them stop expressing their views. They are the
Middle East peace activists.
Another
step backward
Editorial, Ha'aretz, August 05, 2002
At least 11 Israelis were killed yesterday and some 60
were wounded in violent attacks, the worst being the explosion
on the bus at the Meron Junction, where nine were killed
and 38 wounded. The Hamas spokesman was quick to claim
responsibility for the murderous attack. The Palestinian
Authority automatically condemned the attack and, as expected,
laid the blame for the cycle of bloodshed on Israel.
Gaza's
own 'ground zero'
By Jim Maceda, MSNBC
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip,
Aug. 2 — Child psychologist Hyad al-Saraaj
comes from the right side of Gaza's tracks - the product
of old, landed Palestinian gentry, he doesn't have to
earn a living. That's a good thing, because the families
of his young patients could never afford to pay him.
The
'Other' Self-Hating Jew
By Hatim Khatib, Palestine Chronicle, August 5, 2002
In a photo op with Colin Powell in the aftermath of the
Jenin massacre, one could easily see how ill at ease he
was-nostrils flaring, constantly swaying and rocking-never
looking Powell in the eyes; rather, looking askew or down,
and palpably eager to leave.
Sharon's war against the Palestinians
is NOT premised on a Zionist utopia, fulfilling the Eretz
Israeli dream. It is NOT a compassionate dedication to
the eternal security of Israel’s (and the world's)
Jewry, as is often purported.
