“The nadir of the Palestinian struggle is now,” says distinguished but controversial scholar Norman G. Finkelstein. He spoke on March 26 at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. “Nothing is happening there in Palestine. There is no mass resistance.”

Many to this website have wondered why I am missing in action. Rest assured, I’m not. I am working 24/7 to make this mass nonviolent resistance succeed.

I called the IDF and was told that the IUG was attacked because it was an R and D center for the manufacturing of weapons.

What’s coming next - Norman G. Finkelstein

(1) Netanyahu exploited the ceasefire ultimatum (a trap laid by Blair, but of course with Obama’s connivance), and the downing of the Malaysian airliner (which displaced Gaza from the headlines), to launch the ground invasion. However, it is only a limited invasion because of the broad constraints still imposed on Israel by international public opinion. It gives Netanyahu enough time and leeway to clobber Hamas and “mow the grass” in Gaza. 

(2) But Netanyahu can’t declare victory until the Hamas projectile attacks cease, and without a full-scale invasion he can’t stop them. Here’s where Abbas comes in. Abbas will negotiate an agreement with Egypt whereby the PA will staff Rafah crossing, enabling Abbas to declare that he won an end to the blockade. The quid pro quo, however, is that he will agree to prevent any arms smuggling into Gaza and to disarm Hamas.  

Because
(a) Hamas’s key demand was to end the blockade,
(b) Hamas is isolated politically and neutered militarily, and
(c) Abbas is technically the head of the Unity government, Hamas will be forced to agree to these terms. 

If things go according to plan, it will mark the end of Hamas as a resistance movement, to the joy of the Arab states, the US, EU, Israel and, of course, the PA.

It takes considerable talent to describe Hamas’s firing of pre-Stone Age “rockets” that to date have indirectly killed one person (she died of a heart attack) as a “war crime,” while describing Israel’s killing to date of 120 Palestinians, overwhelmingly civilians, and its systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure, as mere “collective punishment.”

SHUT IT DOWN, NOW! | Norman G. Finkelstein

- Prisoners released by the Bush administration: 500+
– Prisoners released by the Obama administration: 72

[…]

For years, Obama has blamed the US Congress for the failure to close Guantanamo. But since Congress granted the Defense Department waiver authority that allows prisoners who have been cleared to be transferred out, Obama himself can free these 86 men. And while he will need Congressional cooperation to close the prison completely, if he truly wants to shut it down, he can task someone at the White House right now to show it is a priority and make it happen.
