Asa Winstanley writing from the United Kingdom, Live from Palestine, 12 June 2009 
Taking the first bus of the day, my wife and I arrived on the Israeli side of the King Hussein bridge crossing into the West Bank from Jordan. We explained that we were heading to Ramallah to visit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guardian America editor Michael Tomasky thinks he&#8217;s being clever and original  by asking: &#8220;why don&#8217;t the Palestinians just imitate Ghandi?&#8220;.
Self-satisfied liberals ask this from time to time. From Michael Moore in &#8220;Stupid White Men&#8221; to occasional Haaretz editorials. It seems every liberal who asks this thinks they are the first to ever do so. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went into this book looking for the &#8220;old&#8221; Obama, who one gets the impression was perhaps more radical before he started to compromise in order to win elections. It seems, though, that this is an illusion, and he was never really on the left in the first place. Obama has a good knack for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A pretty dry, academic account of (surprise surprise) US policy towards the Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab lands in 1948 and 1967 (with a focus on the status of Jerusalem in 1948). It&#8217;s a sound summary of the official US documentary record, supported by various memoirs etc. Its main problem is that its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An excellent sequel to &#8220;Israel/Palestine: How to End the War of 1948&#8243;. Here Reinhart argues that the correct way to understand the 2005 Israeli redeployment from Gaza (the much vaunted &#8220;disengagement&#8221;) is in the context of massive US pressure behind the scenes, even rising to the level of military sanctions. The sancations (minor in relative [...]]]></description>

It is extremely solid and many of her arguments here have been borne out by more recent events. Although one should always be wary of making predictions, many of her warnings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is really disappointing. I&#8217;ve long respected Amira Hass&#8217; reporting from the occupied West Bank and Gaza. And there&#8217;s is no question that, as the only Israeli reporting regularly from Palestine these are historically important news reports, taking us through some of the darkest moments of the second intifada.However, in retrospect, Hass frankly supports her [...]]]></description>

Reading it, I couldn&#8217;t shake the feeling that it was rushed out in the wake of the January 2006 Hamas election victory &#8212; an attempt by Pluto Press to make a quick buck. It reads somewhat like a first draft in places, as if it were barely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It takes a little while to get going, and is a bit slow at the beginning, but it pays off in the end. The vision of home-grown British fascism (as opposed to a &#8220;what if&#8221; scenario where in the Nazi won WII) is all too convincing. Also, I love the way that the &#8220;surveillance society&#8221; [...]]]></description>
