Transnational Palestine: Migration and the Right of Return Before 1948

By Nadim Bawalsa, Stanford University Press, 2022, paperback, 297 pp. MEB $35 Reviewed by Steve France IT’S IMPOSSIBLE to say who among the Palestinian people were first to realize that the 1917 Balfour Declaration was a death warrant issued against them by their British allies in the ongoing war against the Ottoman Empire. What Nadim Bawalsa’s new book makes clear, however, is that the first Palestinians to have their national identity legally erased to make way for a Jewish state were the tens of thousands of prosperous economic migrants who were residing in foreign lands.  Transnational Palestine tells of the painful struggle of loyal sons and daughters of Palestine against Britain’s theft of their national identity, decades before 1948, the first group...

Stranger in My Own Land: Palestine, ‘Israel’ and One Family’s Story of Home

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, June/July 2023, pp. 64 Middle East Books Review By Fida Jiryis, Hurst, 2023, hardcover, 447 pp. MEB $35 Reviewed by Ida Audeh Stranger in My Own Land tells the story of Palestine since 1948 through two generations of one family. The author’s maternal and paternal families were among the minority who remained in Israel after the Nakba, and they soon realized that the new triumphalist Jewish state desired to strip them of any hope of shaping their own destinies as Palestinians. The author’s parents made the difficult and unpopular decision to emigrate in 1970, leaving for Lebanon to work in a PLO-affiliated research institute. Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and its aftermath forced the shattered fami...

And today we are excited to be joined by Daniel Goldhaber, who is the director of the new film, “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” Daniel, welcome to Green and Red Daniel: Thanks for having me. Scott: Your film is an eco-thriller. It is inspired by Andreas’s Malm’s book, “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” The film takes a cast of characters through doing a direct action around the oil industry. I’ll leave it there as I don’t want to give away too many spoilers. But, how did you get the idea to first make this film? Dani...

Annals of the Ukraine War: Year Two

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Mstyslav Chernov – CC BY-SA 4.0 From the human-caused climate catastrophe to a nuclear showdown between Washington and Moscow or Beijing, to fascism ascendant, three terrifying disasters loom over humanity like the shadow of death. These threats have lurked for some years, but the Ukraine war, facilitated by Joe Biden’s arrival in the white house in 2021 and his pronounced aggressiveness toward Moscow, shifted nuclear Armageddon to center stage and pushed the doomsday clock close to midnight. Trust between the Kremlin and western governments vanished long ago, so it’s hard to see how this calamity ever gets resolved. Russian officials watched the U.S. fork over more than $30 billion in armament to Ukraine with billions more in the pipe...

A War Long Wanted: Diplomatic Malpractice in Ukraine

BY MATTHEW HOH Photograph Source: Anton Holoborodko – CC BY-SA 3.0 Author’s Note: This is the original draft of the letter to President Biden and the US Congress published in The New York Times on May 16 by the Eisenhower Media Network. This version, which is substantially longer than the published letter, is published here amended from its original formatting as a group letter. This version goes into much greater depth on the background of Russia’s invasion, the role of the military-industrial complex and the fossil fuel industry in US policy-making, and speaks to the toxic and dangerous diplomatic malpractice that has dominated US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.  The essay is not exhaustive, for example, I don’t write of events after F...

In the spring of 2004, Alexander Cockburn and I met Gore Vidal for lunch in Los Angeles.  He seemed a little down to me. It had only been a few months since Howard Austen had died and he was clearly still missing his longtime partner and the life they shared at Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. But it didn’t take long for Alex to get the great man jump-started. “So, Gore, are you having second thoughts about your Dauphin?” Cockburn was referring to Christopher Hitchens, naturally, who a few years earlier Vidal had anointed as his...
