I Don’t Understand Why You Fed Us Shit
The war that Trump and the Gulf States fight on behalf of Israel may come to an end. What have the Gulf States gained other than losses in a war that they have no camel, no barrel, no sweetened vinegar, and no sorbet in? They lost important economic facilities, halted financial and economic life, lo...
From Liberation Project to Administrative Structure: A Critical Reading of the Transformat...
This discussion does not stem from a desire for debate or to take sides, but rather comes as an attempt to rearrange political thought and understanding, and to clarify the situation at a moment when the Palestinian cause seems to urgently require a comprehensive review of the entire national experi...
Who Will Restore Palestine's Laughter?
It laughs like the fields when spring passes over them, and like the ears of grain when they bend to the wind without fear, and like mothers laugh when children run in the alleys of villages and between the orchards of oranges and olives.
Before Palestine became a permanent title for wars and break...

This discussion does not stem from a desire for debate or positioning, but rather as an attempt to rearrange political thought and understanding, and to clarify matters at a moment in Palestinian history where there is an urgent need for a comprehensive review of the entire national experience.

What Remains of Our Humanity..
Not all visits are measured by time, nor do all places leave us when we leave them. There are places you enter and come out of as a different person, even if just a little. This is what happened during my visit to the SOS Children’s Village in Bethlehem. I thought, as many do, that I was going to a...
Between Illusion and Reality: Is There Still Anything Worth Trusting?
Every time new discussions arise about a "roadmap" or a "pending agreement" or a "forthcoming phase," the same Palestinian question resurfaces: What is the value of any plan if those proposing it do not have the power to implement it or bind the occupation to it?
The issue is no longer a crisis of...
The Eighth Conference... Absolute Control is a Pending Explosion
I did not "intend" to write about the eighth conference of Fatah movement to avoid being interpreted in dark corners here and there as a stance or an intervention in the internal affairs of a political organization on one hand, and because I previously wrote some studies and articles before, during,...
Fatah Conference: The Old Political Order Remains
The eighth conference of Fatah concluded amidst widespread attention, not only because it is the largest movement conference in the Palestinian arena but also due to the extraordinary moment facing the Palestinian cause and the region. Thus, the evaluation of the conference should not be limited to...
Change from Within is a Protection for the Movement, Not a Rebellion Against It
In all major national movements, internal criticism and calls for reform have been part of the strength factors, not signs of weakness. Movements that fear review eventually transform into rigid structures, while vibrant movements possess the courage to acknowledge flaws and strive to correc...
The Palestinian Opposition: From the Illusion of Alternatives to the Margin of History
What the Palestinian opposition is experiencing today is not just a transient state of weakness imposed by regional transformations or imbalanced power dynamics with the occupation, but rather a long historical collapse whose elements have accumulated over years of intellectual, organizational, and...
Memoirs of a Failing Candidate in the Revolutionary Council Elections
I entered the eighth conference of Fatah Movement carrying on my shoulders many years of student, labor, and community work, and some remnants of the memories from prisons, the field, and the university. I naively believed that organizational history was still a currency to be traded within a moveme...
The American Hesitation: A Sign of Weakness
It has been eighty-four days since the beginning of the American-Israeli war on Iran, taking on multiple forms ranging from intensive bombardment and intelligence attempts to overthrow the regime, to maritime blockade, and the freedom initiative that Trump has indeed backed away from. It has become...
