Palestine Papers reveal Israel’s “peace talk” farce

Posted by in Activism, Development, History, Politics

“Earlier this year, Al Jazeera and the Guardian released 1,600 documents related to the mislabelled “peace process” negotiations between Palestine and Israel. Covering more than ten years of talks (1999-2010) between Israel and the PLO, these “Palestine Papers” illustrate the tragic consequences of a highly inequitable and destructive political process grounded on the assumption that the Palestinians could effectively negotiate their rights and achieve self-determination while enduring the hardship of the Israeli occupation. The “peace negotiations” were a deceptive farce, whereby biased terms were unilaterally imposed by Israel and systematically…read more

Review: “War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy And The Decline of American Influence” Ronan Farrow

Posted by in Activism, History, Politics, Reading

“War On Peace” isn’t just a great title, it’s a great book – a very readable combination of telling smaller stories with excellent research and insightful interviews with experienced diplomats. It follows the undermining of diplomacy through successive governments from Bush to Obama to Trump, which by default has led the United States closer to total reliance on military intelligence and military solutions for international conflicts. Even the conservative New York Times praised the book, noting “when the Trump administration has called for gutting the State Department’s budget and filled…read more
