RESCUING ZIONISM AT PALESTINIAN EXPENSE 
By Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 13 December 2010 

After almost two years of attempting to bribe Israel into
"restraining" the expansion of its Jewish-only colonies on
occupied, stolen land, and its violent Judaization of
Jerusalem, the Obama administration concluded that it
could do nothing. Of course one thing the administration
never tried was real pressure using as leverage the
billions in annual no-strings aid the fiscally-bankrupt
United States provides to Israel.

BOOK REVIEW: HUMANITY AND WARMTH IN "LETTERS FROM PALESTINE" 
By Asa Winstanley, The Electronic Intifada, 15 December 2010 

Western publishers have too often neglected the
perspective of Palestinians and other Arabs when it comes
to books on Israel and the Palestinians. Letters from
Palestine, a new collection of Palestinian writing edited
by Kenneth Ring and Ghassan Abdullah, is thus a welcome
initiative.
