In the Heart of Hebron, 'America' is Light Years Away
September 01, 2010
By Nijim Dabbour for MIFTAH
As a Palestinian American born and raised in the States, I grew up with an eye on the conflict since I learned to speak. CNN reports of house demolitions, suicide attacks, peace processes and gunship assaults were a constant background theme at home that I barely registered and hardly understood as a child.
As I grew up I began to learn what was actually happening: the gradual destruction of a nation. Yet I still only studied it from afar, a distant observer reading secondhand accounts from halfway around the world. It wasn’t enough for me to truly feel like I belonged to that nation, I felt I couldn’t live my life comfortable and happy as an American and still say I am Palestinian when so much of what gives Palestinians their identity is the suffering they are subject to daily. So after graduating with a degree in journalism, I found my way here to begin my career.

MIFTAH's Opinion & Editorials
For Jerusalem, True Devotion
August 30, 2010
By Joharah Baker for MIFTAH
This was the first Friday in Ramadan that I happened to see the Qalandiya checkpoint in the early morning hours and I was shocked at the scene in front of me. On my way to the Allenby Bridge for a short trip abroad, I was already on the West Bank side of the crossing but needed to go around it towards the Jericho road. As soon as the taxi approached the Qalandiya refugee camp about half a kilometer away from the actual checkpoint, the traffic began to pile up.

MIFTAH Makes a Difference
August 28, 2010
By MIFTAH
The final workshop for MIFTAH's Gender Responsive Budgets in Local Councils project in Ramallah on July 29, 2010 was a perfect crash course for those less versed in the concept of gender-sensitized budgets. The information offered that day ranged from economic experts and ministers to donors and women elected in Palestinian local councils. In all, by the end of the workshop, the idea of gender responsive budgets in Palestine became a reachable goal, not just an unattainable theory.

A Peace Plan Within Our Grasp
September 02, 2010
By Hosni Mubarak
In The New York Times
IT’S been 10 long years since the Palestinians and Israelis last came close to establishing a permanent peace, in January 2001 at Taba in Egypt. During my career in the Egyptian Air Force, I saw the tragic toll of war between the Arabs and Israel. As president of Egypt, I have endured many ups and downs in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Egypt’s decision to be the first Arab state to make peace with Israel claimed the life of my predecessor, Anwar el-Sadat. Ever since the day in 1981 that I witnessed his assassination by extremists, I have tried to turn the dream of a permanent peace in the Middle East into a reality.

Leaders Urge Focus on Two-State Opportunity in Peace Talks
September 02, 2010
By Matt Bradley
In The National, 2 September. 2010
Two attacks in as many days in the West Bank have cast an even deeper pall over direct Palestinian-Israeli negotiations that already seem crippled from the start. In comments that preceded a “working dinner” among negotiators last night, four Middle Eastern heads of state implored Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, to seize what many see as a final, fleeting opportunity to secure a so-far elusive two-state solution to the Middle East conflict.
