Whose responsibility?
Te gast:
Anna Baltzer, The Electronic Intifada, 9 April 2007
More than a week ago, the walls of an overused cesspool in northern Gaza collapsed, flooding a nearby Bedouin village with up to two meters of raw sewage. At least five people drowned to death, with dozens more left sick, injured, or missing.

Marcouch
Ahmed Marcouch reageerde gisteren in de Volkskrant op de discussie die is ontstaan naar aanleiding van het verschijnen van het boek Het Marokkanendrama, een mythe? van Fleur Jurgens. Ik kon zelf niet bij de discussie zijn, ik hecht erg aan de mening van Marcouch, dus hier komt het stuk.

‘Stop de Heksenjacht’
Het debat over de dubbele nationaliteit lijkt niet te stoppen. Bijna elke dag gaan er nieuwe stemmen op die de schaduwkanten van een dubbele nationaliteit belichten. De rode draad in het hele debat is dat mensen met een dubbele nationaliteit in de verdediging gedrukt worden.

Israels right to be racist
Te gast: Joseph Massad.
Israel’s struggle for peace is a sincere one. In fact, Israel desires to live at peace not only with its neighbours, but also and especially with its own Palestinian population, and with Palestinians whose lands its military occupies by force. Israel’s desire for peace is not only rhetorical but also substantive and deeply psychological. With few exceptions, prominent Zionist leaders since the inception of colonial Zionism have desired to establish peace with the Palestinians and other Arabs whose lands they slated for colonisation and settlement. The only thing Israel has asked for, and continues to ask for in order to end the state of war with the Palestinians and its Arab neighbours, is that all recognise its right to be a racist state that discriminates by law against Palestinians and other Arabs and grants differential legal rights and privileges to its own Jewish citizens and to all other Jews anywhere.

Over Abir. Te gast: Gideon Levy.
Was it the stun grenade that hit her head, the shock caused by its explosion or the rubber bullet fired by the Border Police? Does it make any difference? Did the Border Policeman intend to kill a child of 11 – or not? What difference does it make? The real question is why Border Policemen come almost daily to Anata, doing the devil’s work, as it were, just when children are on their way home from school? What are they looking for, for heaven’s sake, near a school in Anata, a West Bank town located northeast of Jerusalem? The Border Police come, the schoolchildren throw stones, the police fire and kill another innocent little girl – and nobody is called to account. The Shai (Samaria and Judea) police district is investigating, but not the Police Investigation Department.
