Americans on Sept 11TH.A ... EXCLUSIVE-US tax breaks help Jewish settlers in West Bank
Source: Reuters By Adam Entous The United States says Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank threaten any peace between Israel and the Palestinians -- yet it also encourages Americans to help support settlers by offering tax breaks on donations. As Condoleezza Rice flew in on Monday for another round of peace talks, ... Despite truce, still no sign of school supplies in Gaza
Under its truce with Hamas, Israel has permitted shipments of frozen meat, soft drinks, cookies, jam, shampoo, clothing and other items. However, the amounts are insufficient for the entire population. In September 2007 - three months after Hamas took over the Gaza Strip, and after the main cargo crossing, Karni, had ... A Monopoly of Incompetence, Corruption, Failure and Thuggery
Years of silence by Palestinian "Sheiks" and intellectuals led us to where we are now. Arafat ruled the PLO and Fatah with iron fist, using bribery, intimidation even physical liquidation to silence every one. There was never a call for accountability of decisions, failures even financial corruptions. Time for a ... We are running out of time for a two-state solution

ooh quite stunning! I completely adore this one. Very nice use of color and impact…
But I must say, my favorite was the last one, it’s very cool how she used a very patriotic American theme and turned it Palestinian. It’s very feminist too, and along the lines of modern art that I love.

Unbelievable. They are just gorgeous.

These are the most expressive Palestinian art pieces i have ever seen. Wow. Truly unbelieveable. My favorite is the “Made in Palestine” gal flexing her muscles. Very clever, and meaningful take on the “Rosy the Riveter” war propaganda poster. Its so right-back-at you kinda thing. Very very cool.

The world around us is filled with art, but until recently it was not possible to view the subtle brilliance of Palestinian artists.
This artist is absolutely amazing. Her realistic capability is combined with an abstract effect making these true harmonious masterpieces.
Does anyone know HOW on earth can I purchase these?!!!!

This is so awesome …I’ve seen her work before and it’s absolutely amazing… so expressive … simply brilliant!
side note: By the way, I was talking about her work last night with some friends … in light of the discussion, I wanted to read more about her, so I just googled Rana Ghassan and the first link that came up was to your blog.

Will, Iman. Now you know where to search first

Nothing has been more restricting and debilitating than the outright denial of Palestinian identity. These works are simply beautiful. The pics are talking for themselves. This artist conveys the Palestinian struggle because she has the skills– the raw skills to do so. I pray her art is widely disseminated into the public so it can be appreciated for what it is, great art, and for what it connotes: a culture of a people.
Recognize that you, viewing this art, are not alone in a suspicion about the emptiness and neglect of putting Palestinian culture and heritage on the center stage.
More blogs like this need to be out there.
