Gaza Sanctions Exact an Unjust Toll on Civilians
Michael Shank, ICAR Ph.D. Student
Posted 01/23/08

[Published, Christian Science Monitor, January 23, 2008] Regarding the Jan. 15 article "Fertilizer, frustration fuel Gaza's rockets": The article paid primary attention to fertilizer and little to frustration. This neglect appears not unusual as the humanitarian crisis emerging in Gaza seems to garner little international concern. Now that Gaza's main power plant began shutting down last Sunday, frustration will only further fuel unrest. READ MORE

Michael Shank, ICAR PhD Student and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY)
Posted: 11/25/07

[Published, Richmond Times-Dispatch, November 25, 2007] The time has come for the world's leaders to face hard truths concerning the Middle East, specifically the conflict between Palestine and Israel. On Tuesday, President George Bush will provide such an opportunity as leaders of the U.S., Israel, Palestine, and other Muslim states gather in Annapolis, Md., for high-level peace talks. READ MORE

Don't Thank Israel - Demand an Explanation
Marci Moberg, ICAR Master's Student
Posted: 11/09/07

[Published, Richmond Times-Dispatch, November 9, 2007] Editor, Times-Dispatch: The editorial, "Thank Israel," should ask a question of why, not offer praise or thanks. Until now, neither Israel nor the United States has provided further explanation or proof after Israel bombed Syria for allegedly having a nuclear reactor. After the botched war in Iraq that was conducted on the basis of weak intelligence, the American public deserves, and should demand, explanations. READ MORE

[Published, Baltimore Sun, October 16, 2007] He swallowed, opened his eyes wide, put one foot forward and one foot back. His eyes were full of regret or fear, perhaps because he had just shaken my hand and dared to greet me. Or perhaps they were just the eyes of an angry man who despises whoever even mentions the name of the enemy. I couldn't tell. What ever it meant, this was the reaction of an Arab man when I, a Palestinian woman, greeted his group at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is what happened when I told him I am from Israel. READ MORE

A New Opening for Mideast Peace
Marc Gopin, ICAR Professor, and Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA)
Posted: 09/04/07

[Published, Baltimore Sun, September 4, 2007] There is much to be said for President Bush's plans to host a fall conference on the future of Palestine. First, it gives an important boost to Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, as well as Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. If there is ever a chance for a broad spectrum of Israeli society to agree to negotiate, it is with these leaders at the helm. This is also the right team to engage bipartisan American leadership.

Cohen points out that "the United States must deliver" at an anticipated peace conference in America in November "or its conference will be an empty farce that feeds the sophisticated Iranian propaganda machine. Delivering means a Saudi presence." READ MORE

Regional Peace with Palestine at the Core
Marc Gopin, ICAR Professor
Posted: 08/27/07

[Published, Daily News, August 26, 2007] We are at a critical juncture in the Palestinian-Israeli struggle. It is this struggle that takes precedence over the regional Arab-Israeli conflict because its acuteness and its constant festering since 1948 underlies the intractability of all the other conflicts. It becomes essential then for the new openings between Syria and Israel, for example, to be a spur to a comprehensive peace with the Palestinians as well, not a hindrance. My work in Syria for peace during the last three years has yielded the following insights into what may work: READ MORE

The Three Requirement Rule and How America's Foreign Policy is Shortchanging Israel-Palestinian Dialogue
Joel Censer, ICAR Intern
Posted 08/09/07

In the early 1990s Robert Kaplan’s Balkan Ghosts claimed that because the ethnic conflicts destroying Yugoslavia resulted from ancient hatreds, ultimately no foreign intervention could stop them. Bill Clinton read the book, causing some to blame Kaplan for the lack of earlier American intervention to stop aggressive zealots, such as Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The idea that the United States should avoid foreign entanglements that are outside any nation’s ability to negotiate has never taken precedence in the Israel-American relationship. READ MORE

Palestinian and Lebanese Women’s Voices: Missing at the Negotiation Table
Alma Abdul-Hadi Jadallah, ICAR Adjunct Faculty
Posted: 07/17/07

As I closely watched the recent escalation in Palestine, and Lebanon, I continue to be struck by the absence of women’s leadership in the political arena. Well dressed men in suits with very serious faces and many years of tenure in the political arena endowed by their lineage and political influence struggle to articulate answers to the current escalation. In contrast Palestinian and Lebanese women are shown mourning their dead. Women grieving their loss, some pounding on their chests, while others are screaming as the bodies of their loved ones are laid to rest. No images of any woman negotiating or contributing to the de-escalation of the conflict are shown anywhere. READ MORE

[Published, Newsday, July 1, 2007] W ith shame, hopelessness and helplessness, many Palestinians see their dream for an independent state being dismantled by their own so-called national leaders. This evolving reality is hard to comprehend, and it has caused the majority of Palestinians, according to a recent survey from the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, to blame both Hamas and Fatah leaders for what has happened to them under the Israeli occupation.

[Published, Financial Times, June 26, 2007] Sir, Without so much as saying it, Gideon Rachman ("Missed opportunities, Gaza and the spread of jihadism", June 19) makes an excellent case for why the Israeli (and US) leadership should abandon their adherence to an outmoded, traditional security paradigm that encourages its followers to pursue narrow, zero-sum, ethnocentric agendas that tend to lead to counterproductive ("lose-lose") outcomes.
