Hamas
Bearing witness to multiple stories
Israelis and Palestinians alike are traumatized people who love the land and deserve to live there in peace.
Is there any hope for a just peace in Israel and Palestine?
A two-state solution seems as far off as ever. It’s also the only viable way forward.
A failure to communicate: Israel's lost opportunity
Sharonism, the Gaza pullout and the birth of Kadima, the new Israeli centrist party, are expressions of an evolution in internal Israeli thinking, just as the political victory of Hamas is an expression of an internal evolution of Palestinian thinking in response to corruption and lack of progress. Taken by themselves, these are healthy evolutions. The problem is that none of these developments evolved in conversation with the enemy next door. There is no peace without conversation, secret or public, nor will there be realistic internal debate that will yield peace or coexistence with enemies.
