The Ramallah-based Palestinian human rights organization Al Haq published a list on October 1 of the 24 Palestinians killed by Israel before Monday morning. The list is remarkable for the young age of all of the victims, including many minors.

Since its establishment, the Palestinian Authority has provided the main service demanded of it, viz providing security for Israel’s occupation and colonization regime, which has metastasized since 1993. It has gotten nothing in return in terms of the main Palestinian desiderata: independence and an end to the subjugation of military occupation and the land theft embodied in constantly expanding colonial settlements.

The international community, led by the United States, financially underwrites, diplomatically supports and arms to the teeth this indefensible system of oppression of the Palestinian people. It is time for all to stop hiding behind the fictions of a non-existent “peace process” and of the tattered Oslo accords, which Israel has never respected. Instead, it is incumbent on them to act immediately to end the longest occupation in modern history, which these accords have helped to prolong. This is not as hard as it seems: Israel could never act as it does on its own, without massive external support. That external support must be halted, and these unconscionable violations brought to an end.

As the Palestinian keffiyeh has become ubiquitous around the world, we look at the many ways its dynamic pattern has inspired countless individuals from the world of high fashion to bakers.

Some are just for fun and others address more serious matters, like subjugation of women and colonial appropriation.

Conflict Kitchen or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Make Mahalabiya | Palestine Square | ميدان فلسطين

Conflict Kitchen was the brainchild of co-founders and directors Jon Rubin and Dawn Weleski. The simple idea was to highlight the food and culture of nations often portrayed through a hostile, and thus dehumanizing, lens in the mainstream American media and among the Washington, D.C., class of politicians and pundits.

Located in Pittsburgh, the take-out eatery welcomes customers to a gastronomic journey with lunch served in wrappers inscribed with the voices of people from Cuba to Palestine, voices most Americans otherwise only encounter through a filter that is more often than not distorting rather than edifying. Conflict Kitchen focuses on a different country every few months. Each culinary focus includes not just food and personal perspectives, but events, national products such as, say, soap from Palestine, and a colorful design reflecting national patterns and style.
