NOVANEWS why bring up Zionism? Warschawski answers So why bring up Zionism, Finkelstein asks, the "epithet du jour," as he dismisses it with what he thinks is withering contempt? Why organize for that Utopian one/no-state solution when we have a "consensus" on a two-state settlement, by everyone except for those with power? Read below and see why.

NOVANEWS About Education in Gaza and the West Bank About Education in Gaza The Gaza War, also known as Operation Cast Lead, lasted just three weeks – from December 27, 2008 until January 18, 2009. During that time, Israel launched an aggressive assault on Gaza from both the air and the ground. When the dust settled, over 1,383 Palestinians were dead – nearly 1 in 4 of them children – and a large portion of Gaza was destroyed. It is estimated that 18 schools were destroyed and more than 280 schools were damaged, as well as more than 20,000 houses. Perhaps most troubling, a Queen's University, Belfast study found that even before Cast Lead, 98% of children in Gaza had experienced war trauma. The consequences of the war were made even more dire by the fact that Israel has been enforcing ...
