MIFTAH's Opinion & Editorials
Let this be clear: no Palestinian is looking to make Israel feel better
February 08, 2010
By Joharah Baker for MIFTAH
Last week, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad participated in the 10th annual Herzliya Conference on Israeli and regional security. Palestinians from all walks of life had their personal opinions about Fayyad's participation, many of them negative. "The movement is furious," Hatem Abdel Qader reportedly said about Fateh's reaction to Fayyad's participation. People on the street were also less than enthusiastic about their prime minister attending an Israeli conference on security. "I can't believe he would be part of such a conference at this time when the situation is so terrible," said one woman when asked. "I am really surprised."
There are certainly Israelis who must have felt the same, having a symbol of Palestinian governance in their midst. But a certain trend seems to be developing, a trend among more centrist-leftist Israelis who find comfort in Palestinian moderation. Danny Rothschild, chairman of the conference was quoted as saying he believes it would be beneficial if more Palestinians took their cue from Fayyad and participated in upcoming conferences. "Direct talks are what we [Israelis] miss."

Goldstone Saga Continues; So Do Settlements [January 31 – February 6]
February 06, 2010
By MIFTAH
On February 5, Hamas officially apologized for the death of Israeli civilians during Israel's Cast Lead invasion on the Gaza Strip last winter. "We regret any harm that may have befallen any Israeli civilian. We hope the Israeli civilians understand that their government's continued attacks on us were the key issue and the cause," read a report issued by a committee set up by Islamic movement to examine war crimes by its members. The report first listed Israel's violations against Palestinians before saying the homemade rockets were fired in self-defense and aimed at Israeli military targets. The reason they struck civilians, Hamas says, was purely out of lack of accuracy.

MIFTAH Makes a Difference
February 04, 2010

MIFTAH interviews media expert and women's activist Amal Juma' on MIFTAH's role in broadening her career and professional horizons.
First of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself and your work? What brought you to MIFTAH?
My name is Amal Juma' from Jenin and I am the audio and visual media coordinator for the Women's Affairs Team. I first got involved with MIFTAH when I participated with the organization as an intern in one of its projects on training women on how to run election campaigns. My relationship with the organization can be traced back to MIFTAH's beginnings when it used to give training on how to develop the work of local radio and television stations.

Refugee Youth: Living in Israel’s Punch Line
February 03, 2010
By Hajr Al-Ali for MIFTAH
“We wish to study in high school, to study all over the world; we wish to be queens, to be princesses; We wish to live in a free Palestine, to dream of freedom in Palestine; and (we wish) to have a house under the sea!” Plastered on poster paper with a black sharpie in the Palestinian Children’s Center, these wishes are the second thing that struck me upon entering the Jalazone refugee camp. The first, was the number of kids roaming around. They’re everywhere - playing football in the streets, chasing each other with sticks through narrow alleyways in a game of cops and robbers, people watching from doorways and stone steps leading onto dirt roads, or following visitors such as myself around with a keen curiosity.

A Dark Day for Democracy
February 09, 2010
By Gershon Baskin
In The Jerusalem Post, 9 February. 2010
I have been a proud Jerusalem Post columnist since February 2005. I commended the paper for offering me a column knowing full well that I would not be particularly popular among its readership. Even when, after a year, the editor of the Post contacted me to explain that the financial crisis in the newspaper meant that it could no longer pay for my column, I requested to continue writing without any financial compensation.

The Visionary of the Palestinian State
February 09, 2010
By Dov Weissglas
In Yedioth Ahronoth, 7 February. 2010
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad addressed the 2010 Herzliya Conference. He addressed the conference, with characteristic courage, despite criticism from Hamas and Al-Jazeera, because he believed that it was important, specifically at this current juncture in time in which the two governments are unable to communicate, to speak directly to the Israelis.
