I’ve been catching up on Israeli press over the last week. I’ll scream if I read another article referring to “quiet in the West Bank,” “Israel’s success in squashing Palestinian attacks,” or evidence that the Palestinian issue is dead since no world leaders talk about it. 1/4
The West Bank is not quiet. Violence is being done to Palestinians every day in the form of settler attacks, settlement expansion, night raids & brutality by the IDF. 2/4
Palestinian attacks are the result of rage at the oppressive violence of daily life, the arrogance & impunity manifested by settlers, & the insecurity, dread, & hopelessness experienced by young Palestinians. 3/4
Finally, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve read an analyst arguing that the Palestinian issue is dead, I’d be rich. As long as the occupation & oppression exist & as long as Palestinians will to be free, it will come roaring back to haunt the world’s conscience. 4/4

.@zogby_research conducted a nationwide poll of Lebanese. Results revealed the extent of their hardships, their attitudes toward their institutions, & what they want.

1. Almost all Lebanese have been impacted by the economic collapse. They say they’re are worse off & hurting…
2. More than 1/3 go w/out food sometimes & 1 in 5 of the poorest Lebanese “very often go w/out meals.”
3. Two-thirds of all Lebanese say they don’t have enough income to make ends meet. All these hardships combined have led 2/3’s of Lebanese to say that they’d emigrate if they had the chance.
