Checked in at the office and took off for the day. Luckily for me all the meetings that I had for today were canceled. A good session a blackjack, so good PLO, and some nice slots today.

Today was another long one. Long drive long sessions. Played some Blackjack first. Then I was able to get a very nice session of PLO in. A little slots rounded things out. I also got a chance to have a good conversation with a friend of mine who is an AP.

After the success of the Wu Tang Clans' debut album Enter the Wu Tang (36 chambers) - Method Man was the first of the clan members to get his solo debut album Tical released in 1994. Backed by songs like Bring the Pain, Release Yo' Delf and All I Need, Tical is held in high regards by Wu fans. RZA's dark and borderline grim beats, paired with Method Man's gravelly flow make this a bonafide classic.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with legal expert on genocide Menachem Rosensaft. Rosensaft is an adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School and lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School, where he teaches the law of genocide -- since 2008 at Cornell and since 2011 at Columbia. A dedicated pro-Israel US Jewish leader, Rosensaft is the general counsel emeritus of the World Jewish Congress and has been part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, most notably sitting with PLO leader Yasser Arafat alongside four other American Jewish leaders in 1988, after which Arafat said he recognized the State of Israel's right to exist. Rosensaft discusses the important legal and rhetorical distinction between genocide and crimes against humanity or war crimes, feeling that the definition's precision is being diluted in popular use. We learn about the history and evolution of Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide and the ripple effect it has caused. He emphasizes that Israel cannot be held out as the sole villain in the ongoing war, and explains how Hamas exhibits genocidal intent and ideology. However, the statements from a handful of far-right Israeli politicians is making South Africa's December 2023 legal case accusing the Jewish state of genocide much harder to win. Finally, he rails against the Israeli government's weaponization of the word "antisemitism" for all dissent against the Jewish state, but doubles down on the need for an ongoing peace process leading to a Palestinian state. And so this week, we ask genocide legal expert Menachem Rosensaft, what matters now.

Transcript: Jason Isaacson: It has become clear to me in my travels in the region over the decades that more and more people across the Arab world understood the game, and they knew that this false narrative – that Jews are not legitimately there, and that somehow we have to focus all of our energy in the Arab world on combating this evil interloper – it's nonsense. And it's becoming increasingly clear that, in fact, Israel can be a partner. Manya Brachear Pashman: In September 2020, the world saw what had been years – decades – in the making: landmark peace agreements dubbed the Abraham Accords -- normalizing relations between Israel and two Arabian Gulf states, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain.  Later in December, they were joined by the Kingdom of Morocco. Five years later, AJC is pulling back the curtain to meet key individuals who built the trust that led to these breakthroughs. Introducing: the Architects of Peace. Manya Brachear Pashman: On the eve of the signing of the Abraham Accords, AJC Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer Jason Isaacson found himself traveling to the end of a tree filled winding road in McLean, Virginia, to sip tea on the back terrace with Bahraini Ambassador Shaikh Abdulla bin Rashid Al Khalifa and Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani. Jason Isaacson: Sitting in the backyard of the Bahraini ambassador's house with Dr. Al Zayani, the Foreign Minister of Bahrain and with Shaikh Abdulla, the ambassador, and hearing what was about to happen the next day on the South Lawn of the White House was a thrilling moment. And really, in many ways, just a validation of the work that AJC has been doing for many years–before I came to the organization, and the time that I've spent with AJC since the early 90s.  This possibility of Israel's true integration in the region, Israel's cooperation and peace with its neighbors, with all of its neighbors – this was clearly the threshold that we were standing on. Manya Brachear Pashman: If you're wondering how Jason ended up sipping tea in such esteemed company the night before his hosts made history, wonder no more. Here's the story. Yitzchak Shamir: The people of Israel look to this palace with great anticipation and expectation. We pray that this meeting will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Middle East; that it will signal the end of hostility, violence, terror, and war; that it will bring dialogue, accommodation, co-existence, and above all, peace. Manya Brachear Pashman: That was Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir speaking in October 1991 at the historic Madrid Peace Conference -- the first time Israel and Arab delegations engaged in direct talks toward peace. It had taken 43 years to reach this point – 43 years since the historic United Nations Resolution that created separate Jewish and Arab states – a resolution Jewish leaders accepted, but Arab states scorned. Not even 24 hours after Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, the armies of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria attacked the new Jewish state, which fought back mightily and expanded its territory. The result? A deep-seated distrust among Israel, its neighboring nations, and some of the Arab residents living within Israel's newly formed borders. Though many Palestinian Arabs stayed, comprising over 20 percent of Israel's population today, hundreds of thousands of others left or were displaced. Meanwhile, in reaction to the rebirth of the Jewish state, and over the following two decades, Jewish communities long established in Arab states faced hardship and attacks, forcing Jews by the hundreds of thousands to flee. Israel's War of Independence set off a series of wars with neighboring nations, terrorist attacks, and massacres. Peace in the region saw more than a few false starts, with one rare exception.  In 1979, after the historic visit to Israel by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, he and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin joined President Jimmy Carter for negotiations at Camp David and signed a peace treaty that for the next 15 years, remained the only formal agreement between Israel and an Arab state. In fact, it was denounced uniformly across the Arab world.  But 1991 introduced dramatic geopolitical shifts. The collapse of the Soviet Union, which had severed relations with Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967, diminished its ability to back Syria, Iraq, and Libya. In the USSR's final months, it re-established diplomatic relations with Israel but left behind a regional power vacuum that extremists started to fill. Meanwhile, most Arab states, including Syria, joined the successful U.S.-led coalition against Saddam Hussein that liberated Kuwait, solidifying American supremacy in the region and around the world. The Palestine Liberation Organization, which claimed to represent the world's Palestinians, supported Iraq and Libya.  Seizing an opportunity, the U.S. and the enfeebled but still relevant Soviet Union invited to Madrid a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation, along with delegations from Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Israel. Just four months before that Madrid meeting, Jason Isaacson had left his job on Capitol Hill to work for the American Jewish Committee. At that time, AJC published a magazine titled Commentary, enabling Jason to travel to the historic summit with media credentials and hang out with the press pool. Jason Isaacson: It was very clear in just normal conversations with these young Arab journalists who I was spending some time with, that there was the possibility of an openness that I had not realized existed. There was a possibility of kind of a sense of common concerns about the region, that was kind of refreshing and was sort of running counter to the narratives that have dominated conversations in that part of the world for so long.  And it gave me the sense that by expanding the circle of relationships that I was just starting with in Madrid, we might be able to make some progress. We might be able to find some partners with whom AJC could develop a real relationship. Manya Brachear Pashman: AJC had already begun to build ties in the region in the 1950s, visiting Arab countries like Morocco and Tunisia, which had sizable Jewish populations. The rise in Arab nationalism in Tunisia and rebirth of Israel eventually led to an exodus that depleted the Jewish community there. Emigration depleted Morocco's Jewish community as well.  Jason Isaacson: To say that somehow this is not the native land of the Jewish people is just flying in the face of the reality. And yet, that was the propaganda line that was pushed out across the region. Of course, Madrid opened a lot of people's eyes. But that wasn't enough. More had to be done. There were very serious efforts made by the U.S. government, Israeli diplomats, Israeli businesspeople, and my organization, which played a very active role in trying to introduce people to the reality that they would benefit from this relationship with Israel.  So it was pushing back against decades of propaganda and lies. And that was one of the roles that we assigned to ourselves and have continued to play. Manya Brachear Pashman: No real negotiations took place at the Madrid Conference, rather it opened conversations that unfolded in Moscow, in Washington, and behind closed doors in secret locations around the world. Progress quickened under Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In addition to a peace treaty between Israel and Jordan, reached in 1994, secret talks in Norway between Israel and PLO resulted in the Oslo Accords, a series of agreements signed in 1993 and 1995 that ended the First Intifada after six years of violence, and laid out a five-year timeline for achieving a two-state solution. Extremists tried to derail the process. A Jewish extremist assassinated Rabin in 1995. And a new terror group  launched a series of suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. Formed during the First Intifada, these terrorists became stars of the Second. They called themselves Hamas. AP News Report: [sirens] [in Hebrew] Don't linger, don't linger. Manya Brachear Pashman: On March 27, 2002, Hamas sent a suicide bomber into an Israeli hotel where 250 guests had just been seated for a Passover Seder. He killed 30 people and injured 140 more. The day after the deadliest suicide attack in Israel's history, the Arab League, a coalition of 22 Arab nations in the Middle East and Africa, unveiled what it called the Arab Peace Initiative – a road map offering wide scale normalization of relations with Israel, but with an ultimatum: No expansion of Arab-Israeli relations until the establishment of a Palestinian state within the pre-1967 armistice lines and a so-called right of return for Palestinians who left and their descendants.   As the Second Intifada continued to take civilian lives, the Israeli army soon launched Operation Defensive Shield to secure the West Bank and parts of Gaza. It was a period of high tension, conflict, and distrust. But behind the scenes, Jason and AJC were forging ahead, building bridges, and encountering an openness in Arab capitals that belied the ultimatum.  Jason Isaacson: It has become clear to me in my travels in the region over the decades that more and more people across the Arab world understood the game, and they knew that that this false narrative that Jews are not legitimately there, and that somehow we have to focus all of our energy in the Arab world on combating this evil interloper – it's nonsense. And it's becoming increasingly clear that, in fact, Israel can be a partner of Arab countries. Manya Brachear Pashman: Jason led delegations of Jewish leaders to Arab capitals, oversaw visits by Arab leaders to Israel, and cultivated relationships of strategic and political consequence with governments and civil society leaders across North Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula. In 2009, King Mohammed VI of Morocco bestowed on him the honor of Chevalier of the Order of the Throne of the Kingdom of Morocco. Jason's priority was nurturing one key element missing from Arab-Israeli relations. An element that for decades had been absent in most Middle East peace negotiations: trust.   Jason Isaacson: Nothing is more important than developing trust. Trust and goodwill are, if not synonymous, are so closely linked. Yes, a lot of these discussions that AJC's been engaged in over many years have been all about, not only developing a set of contacts we can turn to when there's a crisis or when we need answers to questions or when we need to pass a message along to a government. But also, develop a sense that we all want the same thing and we trust each other. That if someone is prepared to take certain risks to advance the prospect of peace, which will involve risk, which will involve vulnerability. That a neighbor who might have demonstrated in not-so-distant past animosity and hostility toward Israel can be trusted to take a different course. Manya Brachear Pashman: A number of Israeli diplomats and businesspeople also worked toward that goal. While certain diplomatic channels in the intelligence and security spheres stayed open out of necessity – other diplomats and businesspeople with dual citizenship traveled across the region, quietly breaking down barriers, starting conversations, and building trust.  Jason Isaacson: I would run into people in Arab capitals from time to time, who were fulfilling that function, and traveling with different passports that they had legitimately, because they were from those countries. It was just a handful of people in governments that would necessarily know that they were there. So yes, if that sounds like cloak and dagger, it's kind of a cloak and dagger operation, a way for people to maintain a relationship and build a relationship until the society is ready to accept the reality that it will be in their country's best interest to have that relationship. Manya Brachear Pashman: Privately, behind the scenes, signs emerged that some Arab leaders understood the role that Jews have played in the region's history for millennia and the possibilities that would exist if Muslims and Jews could restore some of the faith and friendship of bygone years.  Jason Isaacson: I remember sitting with King Mohammed the VI of Morocco just weeks after his ascension to the throne, so going back more than a quarter century, and hearing him talk with me and AJC colleagues about the 600,000 subjects that he had in Israel. Of course, these were Jews, Israelis of Moroccan descent, who are in the hundreds of thousands. But the sense that these countries really have a common history. Manya Brachear Pashman: Common history, yes. Common goals, too. And not for nothing, a common enemy. The same extremist forces that have been bent on Israel's destruction have not only disrupted Israeli-Arab peace, they've prevented the Palestinian people from thriving in a state of their own and now threaten the security and stability of the entire region. Jason Isaacson:  We are hopeful that in partnership with those in the Arab world who feel the same way about the need to push back against extremism, including the extremism promoted, promulgated, funded, armed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, that we can have enough of a network of supportive players in the Arab world, in the West. Working with Israel and working with Palestinian partners who are interested in the same future. A real future, a politically free future, where we can actually make some progress. And that's an ongoing effort. This is a point that we made consistently over many years: if you want to help the Palestinian people–and we want to help the Palestinian people–but if you, fill in the blank Arab government official, your country wants to help the Palestinian people, you're not helping them by pretending that Israel doesn't exist.  You're not helping them by isolating Israel, by making Israel a pariah in the minds of your people. You will actually have leverage with Israel, and you'll help the Palestinians when they're sitting at a negotiating table across from the Israelis. If you engage Israel, if you have access to the Israeli officials and they have a stake in your being on their side on certain things and working together on certain common issues. Manya Brachear Pashman: Jason says more and more Arab leaders are realizing, with some frustration, that isolating Israel is a losing proposition for all the parties involved. It has not helped the Palestinian people. It has not kept extremism at bay. And it has not helped their own countries and their own citizens prosper. In fact, the limitations that isolating Israel imposes have caused many countries to lag behind the tiny Jewish state. Jason Isaacson: I think there was just this sense of how far back we have fallen, how much ground we have to make up. We need to break out of the old mindset and try something different. But that before the Abraham Accords, they were saying it in the years leading up to the Abraham Accords, with increasing frustration for the failure of Palestinian leadership to seize opportunities that had been held out to them. But frankly, also contributing, I think, to this was this insistence on isolating themselves from a naturally synergistic relationship with a neighboring state right next door that could contribute to the welfare of their societies. It just didn't make a whole lot of sense, and it denied them the ability to move forward. Manya Brachear Pashman: Jason remembers the first time he heard an Arab official utter the words out loud – expressing a willingness, daresay desire, to partner with Israel. Jason Isaacson: It took a long time, but I could see in 2016, 17, 18, 19, this growing awareness, and finally hearing it actually spoken out loud in one particular conference that I remember going to in 2018 in Bahrain, by a senior official from an Arab country. It took a long time for that lesson to penetrate, but it's absolutely the case. Manya Brachear Pashman: In 2019, Bahrain hosted an economic summit where the Trump administration presented its "Peace to Prosperity" plan, a $50 billion investment proposal to create jobs and improve the lives of Palestinians while also promoting regional peace and security. Palestinians rejected the plan outright and refused to attend. Bahrain invited Israeli media to cover the summit. That September, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, AJC presented its inaugural Architect of Peace Award to the Kingdom of Bahrain's chief diplomat for nearly 20 years. Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, told Jason that it was important to learn the lessons of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and late Jordanian King Hussein, both of whom signed peace treaties with Israel. He also explained the reason why Bahrain invited Israeli media.  Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa: President Anwar Sadat did it, he broke a huge barrier. He was a man of war, he was the leader of a country that went to war or two with Israel. But then he knew that at the right moment he would want to go straight to Israeli and talk to them. We fulfilled also something that we've always wanted to do, we've discussed it many times: talking to the Israeli public through the Israeli media.  Why not talk to the people? They wake up every day, they have their breakfast watching their own TV channels, they read their own papers, they read their own media, they form their own opinion.    Absolutely nobody should shy away from talking to the media. We are trying to get our point across. In order to convince. How will you do it? There is no language of silence. You'll have to talk and you'll have to remove all those barriers and with that, trust can be built. Manya Brachear Pashman: Jason had spent decades building that trust and the year to come yielded clear results. In May and June 2020, UAE Ambassador to the UN Lana Nusseibeh and UAE Minister of State Dr. Anwar Gargash both participated in AJC webinars to openly discuss cooperation with Israel – a topic once considered taboo.  So when the Abraham Accords were signed a few months later, for Jason and AJC colleagues who had been on this long journey for peace, it was a natural progression. Though no less dramatic.  Sitting with Minister Al Khalifa's successor, Dr. Al Zayani, and the Bahraini ambassador on the evening before the White House ceremony, it was time to drink a toast to a new chapter of history in the region. Jason Isaacson: I don't think that that would have been possible had there not been decades of contacts that had been made by many people. Roving Israeli diplomats and Israeli business people, usually operating, in fact, maybe always operating with passports from other countries, traveling across the region. And frankly, our work and the work of a limited number of other people who were in non-governmental positions. Some journalists, authors, scholars, business people, and we certainly did a great deal of this over decades, would speak with leaders in these countries and influential people who are not government officials. And opening up their minds to the possibility of the advantages that would accrue to their societies by engaging Israel and by better understanding the Jewish people and who we are, what we care about, who we are not.  Because there was, of course, a great deal of decades, I should say, centuries and millennia, of misapprehensions and lies about the Jewish people. So clearing away that baggage was a very important part of the work that we did, and I believe that others did as well. We weren't surprised. We were pleased. We applauded the Trump administration, the President and his team, for making this enormous progress on advancing regional security and peace, prosperity. We are now hoping that we can build on those achievements of 2020 going forward and expanding fully the integration of Israel into its neighborhood. Manya Brachear Pashman: Next episode, we hear how the first Trump administration developed its Middle East policy and take listeners behind the scenes of the high stakes negotiations that yielded the Abraham Accords.  Atara Lakritz is our producer.

Cuộc chiến tranh tại dải Gaza giữa quân đội Israel và lực lượng Hamas, bùng lên sau vụ tấn công khủng bố của Hamas trên đất Israel khiến hơn một nghìn người chết, và hơn 250 người bị bắt làm con tin, đã kéo dài gần hai năm. Vùng lãnh thổ rộng hơn 40 km² của người Palestine bị tàn phá tan hoang, khiến hàng chục nghìn người chết, hàng trăm nghìn người bị thương, đa số dân cư phải sống trong cảnh màn trời chiếu đất. Tuy nhiên, việc công nhận Nhà nước Palestine một lần nữa trở thành một vấn đề nóng bỏng của thời sự quốc tế. Nhiều nước châu Âu, tuyên bố công nhận Nhà nước Palestine. Nước Pháp dự kiến sẽ chính thức công nhận Palestine trong dịp Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc vào tháng 9/2025. Nhà nước Palestine là một trong những vấn đề chính trị quốc tế đương đại phức tạp bậc nhất. Tạp chí Tiêu điểm thời sự điểm lại một số diễn biến chính trong tiến trình tranh đấu vì một Nhà nước độc lập của người Palestine. Nghị quyết LHQ năm 1947 về hai Nhà nước, thế giới Ả Rập không công nhận Về vấn đề Nhà nước độc lập của người Palestine, ngày 29/11/1947 mà một cái mốc lịch sử. « Nghị quyết của ủy ban lâm thời của Liên Hiệp Quốc về vấn đề Palestine đã được thông qua với 33 phiếu thuận, 13 phiếu chống và 10 phiếu trắng. » Theo Nghị quyết 181 của Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc, vùng lãnh thổ gọi là xứ Palestine, nằm dọc bờ biển đông Địa Trung Hải, phía bắc là Liban và phía nam là Ai Cập hiện nay, sẽ được chia thành hai Nhà nước, một Nhà nước của người Ả Rập và một của người Do Thái, và một khu vực do quốc tế kiểm soát, bao gồm các thánh địa như Jerusalem và thành Bethleem. Theo nghị quyết 181 của Liên Hiệp Quốc, nước Anh, quốc gia được Hội Quốc Liên – tiền thân của Liên Hiệp Quốc - giao trách nhiệm bảo trợ cho vùng đất này từ năm 1922, sau khi đế chế Ottoman giải thể, sẽ phải rút khỏi Palestine vào cuối năm 1948. Nghị quyết về hai Nhà nước liên quan đến vùng đất lịch sử Palestine được coi là một nguyên tắc pháp lý căn bản của Liên Hiệp Quốc về « vấn đề Palestine ». Năm 2000, Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hiệp Quốc đã thông qua nghị quyết 1397 tái khẳng định « giải pháp hai Nhà nước ». Tuy nhiên, nghị quyết 181 của Liên Hiệp Quốc đã không được thực thi đầy đủ. Ngày 14/05/1948, Nhà nước Israel của người Do Thái chính thức ra đời. Nhưng đã không có một Nhà nước của người Ả Rập. Các đụng độ bùng phát dữ dội giữa các cộng đồng người Ả Rập cư trú lâu đời tại xứ Palestine, với người Do Thái, trong đó có rất nhiều người đến từ châu Âu, đặc biệt sau các cuộc diệt chủng người Do Thái của chế độ Đức Quốc xã. Ước tính từ khoảng 800.000 người đến hơn 1 triệu người Ả Rập tại Palestine đã phải rời bỏ quê hương trong biến cố được gọi là « Nakba », tiếng Ả Rập có nghĩa là đại thảm họa. Năm 2023, lần đầu tiên Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc chính thức tổ chức kỷ niệm thường niên biến cố « Nakba ». Cho đến nay, theo Liên Hiệp Quốc, có hơn 4 triệu người là người Palestine tị nạn sau biến cố Nakba, hoặc hậu duệ của họ. Thế giới Ả Rập không công nhận nhà nước Do Thái. Cuộc chiến tranh Ả Rập – Do Thái đầu tiên bùng nổ vào năm 1949. Sau cuộc chiến tranh này Jordanie kiểm soát vùng Cisjordanie và Đông Jerusalem, dải Gaza thuộc quyền kiểm soát của Ai Cập. Cũng năm này, Liên Hiệp Quốc công nhận Nhà nước Israel. Hai mươi năm « bị xóa sổ khỏi lịch sử » Nếu như trước khi Nhà nước Do Thái ra đời, các cộng đồng người Ả Rập Palestine từng có một vị thế nhất định, thì sau thời điểm này, người Palestine hoàn toàn « bị xóa sổ khỏi lịch sử », như ghi nhận của chuyên gia Jean-Paul Chagnollaud, giáo sư danh dự các trường Đại học, chủ tịch Viện nghiên cứu về vùng Trung Đông Địa Trung Hải (IREMMO) với đài France Culture : « Trong suốt 20 năm đó – từ 1949 đến cuộc chiến 1967 - có thể nói rằng người Palestine đã bị đẩy ra khỏi ‘‘lịch sử'' hoặc bị xóa sổ khỏi lịch sử như người ta thường nói, và chủ nghĩa dân tộc Palestine – vốn đang hình thành - đã bị suy yếu nghiêm trọng. Những người mang tinh thần dân tộc chủ nghĩa Palestine vào thời điểm đó chính là những người Palestine đã rời khỏi vùng đất nơi Nhà nước Israel được thành lập. Đó là những người tị nạn, những người sẽ đến Liban, đến Jordanie. Có rất nhiều người tị nạn ở Jordanie. Họ cũng đến dải Gaza, nơi đang nằm dưới sự quản lý của Ai Cập của thời điểm đó. Điều này khiến dân số dải Gaza vào những năm 1949 - 1950 gồm đến 90% là người tị nạn, tức là những người có quê hương tại các vùng đất ở Palestine, cách đó chỉ 10, 30, 50, 100 km, tức rất gần, vì Gaza là một vùng lãnh thổ rất nhỏ, chỉ bằng hai, ba tỉnh của nước Pháp. Như vậy là người Palestine biến mất và trên bình diện quốc tế, người ta chỉ còn nói đến ‘‘vấn đề người tị nạn''. Người ta thậm chí không còn dùng đến từ “Palestine” nữa. Để lấy một ví dụ cụ thể, có thể dễ dàng kiểm chứng về mặt pháp lý : Đó là nghị quyết đầu tiên sau cuộc chiến tranh năm 1967, nghị quyết 242 tháng 11/1967. Đây là một nghị quyết quan trọng, nghị quyết đầu tiên sau cuộc chiến năm 1967. Nghị quyết này nói rằng các lãnh thổ đã chiếm đoạt phải được trả lại cho các quốc gia, và khi nói về người tị nạn, thì chỉ có một dòng về họ. Người ta thậm chí không dùng từ “Palestine”, mà chỉ yêu cầu có ‘‘một giải pháp công bằng'', chỉ một dòng đó mà thôi (un juste règlement du problème des réfugiés). Nói cách khác, người Palestine đã biến mất. » Tổ chức Giải phóng Palestine ra đời dưới quyền kiểm soát của Ai Cập Tổ chức Giải phóng Palestine PLO được thành lập chính thức vào năm 1964. Tuy nhiên, trong giai đoạn đầu, tổ chức mang tôn chỉ giải phóng Palestine phục vụ trước hết cho quyền lợi của một số thế lực Ả Rập trong khu vực, đặc biệt là nước Ai Cập của Nasser (một cường quốc trong khu vực, đặc biệt sau cuộc chiến thắng lợi trước liên minh Anh, Pháp và Israel nhằm kiểm soát kênh đào Suez năm 1956), và vương quốc Jordanie, kiểm soát vùng Cisjordanie của người Palestine. Chuyên gia Jean-Paul Chagnollaud nhận định : « Lãnh đạo Palestine Arafat, với việc thành lập tổ chức Fatah (phong trào giải phóng dân tộc Palestine) năm 1959, đã xuất hiện trong bối cảnh đó, một bối cảnh bị chi phối bởi lãnh đạo Ai Cập Nasser. Còn người dân vùng Cisjordanie bị chi phối bởi quan điểm chính thống về dân tộc Jordan, với những gia tộc lớn gần gũi với hoàng gia Jordanie, các thế lực kiểm soát các thành phố Cisjordanie. Trong toàn bộ giai đoạn này, việc khẳng định tinh thần dân tộc Palestine là điều gần như bất khả thi. Làm sao có thể làm cho người Palestine cảm thấy mình là một dân tộc đang hình thành sau tất cả những sự kiện đã làm cho họ bị phân mảnh, tan tác, bị đập nát theo cả nghĩa đen lẫn nghĩa bóng. Tổ chức Giải phóng Palestine PLO được thành lập năm 1964. PLO được thành lập bởi ai ? Trong tổ chức này có người Palestine, nhưng PLO là do lãnh đạo Ai Cập Nasser lập ra, với sự ủng hộ của vua Jordanie Hussein. Tại sao họ lại thành lập PLO vào thời điểm đó ? Bởi vì họ biết rằng thực sự có một phong trào dân tộc đang manh nha, đang được xây dựng, đang định hình, đó là phong trào dân tộc chủ nghĩa Fatah, do Arafat lãnh đạo, từ đầu những năm 1960. Nasser không thể để mình bị vượt mặt. Và vì vậy, cần phải kiểm soát. Vậy làm sao để kiểm soát ? Bằng cách thành lập một tổ chức, Tổ chức Giải phóng Palestine, với sứ mệnh lúc đó là xác lập sự thống nhất của các nước Ả Rập, trước khi lo chuyện Palestine. Khối Ả Rập thống nhất sẽ cho phép giải phóng Palestine, đó là cách người ta nói vào thời điểm đó. Trong kịch bản đó, PLO không phải là của người Palestine, mặc dù người đứng đầu PLO là Ahmad Shukeiri. Ông ấy là một người Palestine, nhưng là một người Palestine làm bình phong cho Nasser. Nhân vật này từng làm việc tại Liên đoàn Ả Rập với Nasser. Lập ra PLO thực sự là một việc chủ yếu do Ai Cập chủ trương để cố gắng kiểm soát tình hình, và họ đã thành công. » Cuộc chiến « Sáu ngày » 1967 : Thất bại của khối Ả Rập và sự trỗi dậy của chủ nghĩa dân tộc Palestine Năm 1967, cuộc chiến tranh thứ ba giữa các nước Ả Rập và Israel bùng nổ. Cuộc chiến chỉ kéo dài 6 ngày nhưng để lại các hệ quả lớn. Israel giành lại dải Gaza và vùng Cisjordanie, nhưng thất bại của khối Ả Rập, cũng để ngỏ cơ hội cho sự trỗi dậy của phong trào dân tộc Palestine với vai trò hàng đầu của nhà lãnh đạo Arafat. Giáo sư Jean-Paul Chagnollaud nhận định : « Đối với chủ nghĩa dân tộc Palestine, vốn bị kìm hãm bởi chủ nghĩa dân tộc Ả Rập, điều này đã mở ra những triển vọng mới. Chủ nghĩa dân tộc Palestine có thể nói đã nhanh chóng lấp đầy khoảng trống, đột ngột mở ra do thất bại hoàn toàn của các nước Ả Rập, do thảm họa năm 1967. Việc thay đổi lãnh thổ như vậy đã mang lại thay đổi địa-chính trị to lớn, và tiếp đó là sự suy yếu của chủ nghĩa dân tộc Ả Rập, đã mở rộng đường cho chủ nghĩa dân tộc Palestine và cho Arafat. Tôi có thể nói thêm một điều này : Nếu như năm 1964 PLO đã bị Ai Cập, Nasser và Ahmad Shukeiri thao túng, thì ngay sau cuộc chiến, tức là vào những năm 1968-1969, người Palestine đã giành quyền kiểm soát PLO. Kể từ tháng 2/1969, PLO đã thực sự trở thành tổ chức của người Palestine kể từ năm 1968. » Phong trào Intifada đầu tiên, PLO tuyên bố thành lập Nhà nước Palestine Phong trào PLO dưới sự lãnh đạo của Arafat, để hướng tới khẳng định quyền tự quyết dân tộc, quyền của một Nhà nước độc lập của người Palestine, đã tiến hành cùng lúc hai cuộc chiến, cuộc tranh đấu vũ trang và cuộc tranh đấu về chính trị và ngoại giao. Năm 1974, Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc chính thức công nhận « quyền tự quyết » và « nền độc lập » của người Palestine, và công nhận vai trò quan sát viên của PLO tại Liên Hiệp Quốc.   Trong tiến trình tranh đấu của người Palestine, phong trào tranh đấu ôn hòa Intifada lần thứ nhất, bùng lên từ cuối năm 1987 trước hết tại Gaza, rồi lan rộng sang vùng Cisjordanie, có ý nghĩa đặc biệt quan trọng. Nhà nghiên cứu François Ceccaldi, đảm nhiệm môn lịch sử thế giới Ả Rập đương đại của Collège de France nhận định : « Phong trào Intifada là một giai đoạn lịch sử trong đó đã có rất nhiều biến chuyển, ít nhất là đã cho phép Arafat thay đổi phần nào chính sách của mình, thúc đẩy bởi những thành quả của phong trào Intifada và uy tín ngày càng tăng của tổ chức PLO. Ông đã quyết định thực hiện một chiến lược có thể gọi là tìm kiếm đồng thuận. Và ông đã đưa ra quyết định như vậy trong một cuộc họp của Hội đồng Quốc gia vào tháng 11/1988, tuyên bố Nhà nước Palestine độc lập với Jerusalem làm thủ đô. Arafat công nhận Nghị quyết 181 năm 1947 của Liên Hiệp Quốc, tức là kế hoạch phân chia đất đai xứ Palestine. Ông lên án việc sử dụng vũ lực. Đặc biệt là trong giai đoạn này, ông đã có hai bài phát biểu khá nổi tiếng tại Alger và Geneva năm 1988, và đặc biệt là bài phát biểu tại Geneva, có lẽ bị thúc đẩy bởi Mỹ. Đi xa hơn, trong một phiên họp của Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc tổ chức bất thường tại Genève năm 1988, Arafat công nhận hai nghị quyết 242 và 338 của Liên Hiệp Quốc và lên án hành động khủng bố. Điều quan trọng ở đây không phải là nội dung của các nghị quyết của Liên Hiệp Quốc, mà Arafat, cùng với ông phong trào dân tộc Paletine, cam kết hoặc chấp nhận tuân thủ pháp lý quốc tế và ngầm công nhận pháp lý này, do đó cũng ngầm công nhận Nhà nước Israel. Đương nhiên, điều này có những hệ quả khá quan trọng. Hai bài phát biểu tại Alger và Geneva cùng phong trào Intifada đã buộc Israel và Mỹ phải tái suy nghĩ về mối quan hệ với PLO, và mở đường cho các đàm phán Madrid rồi Oslo. » Các thỏa ước Oslo 1993 – 1995 với Israel : Nỗ lực dang dở Việc Tổ chức PLO của Arafat chuyển hẳn sang con đường tranh đấu khẳng định nền độc lập bằng biện pháp hòa bình đã dọn đường cho việc đúc kết với Israel hai thỏa ước Oslo, với sự bảo trợ của Mỹ. Thỏa ước Oslo I vào năm 1993 lập ra Cơ quan Quyền lực Palestine, dự kiến tồn tại cho đến năm 1999, sau khi một Nhà nước Palestine độc lập chính thức ra đời. Năm 1994, lãnh tụ Arafat lần đầu tiên trở về Palestine sau 27 năm sống lưu vong. Năm 1995, Israel và Arafat ra được thỏa ước Oslo II, chia vùng Cisjordanie làm ba phần, trong đó tiểu vùng A do người Palestine tự điều hành, tiểu vùng B, hai bên phối hợp quản lý, và vùng C dự kiến sẽ chuyển giao dần quyền quản lý do Palestine, nhưng Israel vẫn duy trì quân đội. Đọc thêm - Palestine – Israel: Hòa ước Oslo chết lâm sàng Các thỏa ước Oslo rút cục đã không dẫn đến việc thành lập một Nhà nước Palestine độc lập. Vì sao các thỏa ước Oslo thất bại, trả lời France Culture, nhà nghiên cứu François Ceccaldi, trường Collège de France, nêu bật một số lý do : « Thực ra có nhiều lý do, có lẽ đơn giản trước hết vì đây chỉ là một tuyên bố nguyên tắc như tên gọi của nó. Sau giai đoạn chuyển tiếp này, các vấn đề về ‘‘tình trạng thường trực'', là những vấn đề nhạy cảm nhất, sẽ phải được đàm phán. Tại sao đàm phán thất bại ? Tôi cảm thấy rằng có lẽ trong các hiệp định Oslo, có một số yếu tố có thể dự báo trước thất bại ngay từ đầu. Đương nhiên lúc ấy đa số đã ghi nhận hoặc ít nhất hy vọng rằng một nền hòa bình là có thể đạt được. Vào thời điểm đó, đã có một số ít người phản đối, tôi đặc biệt nghĩ đến nhà nghiên cứu Edward Said, là những người đã nhanh chóng nhìn thấy những khiếm khuyết của hiệp định này. Có lẽ cũng vì trong các hiệp định này, chẳng hạn về vấn đề nhà nước Palestine, người Palestine đã có một số cách hiểu khá mơ hồ. Tuyên bố nguyên tắc dự kiến thành lập ‘‘tình trạng thường trực'' sau giai đoạn chuyển tiếp 5 năm, dựa trên các nghị quyết 242 và 338. Trong diễn đạt mơ hồ về ‘‘tình trạng thường trực'' dựa trên nghị quyết 242 rõ ràng người Palestine đã thấy đó là việc thành lập một nhà nước trong các đường biên giới như trước cuộc chiến tranh năm 1967. Trên thực tế, vấn đề nhà nước Palestine đã không bao giờ được đề cập trực tiếp trong các hiệp định. Có rất nhiều sự mơ hồ mà tôi nghĩ là đặc trưng của tuyên bố mang tính nguyên tắc, cộng với tất cả những gì xảy ra từ năm 1993 đến 1999, 2000, cho thấy thực sự có một sự phá vỡ lòng tin dần dần giữa các bên.  Mối quan hệ tin cậy được cho là sẽ phải được xây dựng trong giai đoạn chuyển tiếp đã không xảy ra vì nhiều lý do, có lẽ vì cuối cùng là do việc xây dựng các khu định cư của người Do Thái không bao giờ ngừng, vì thủ tướng Israel Rabin - người cổ vũ cho các hiệp định – bị ám sát. Tổng thống Mỹ Clinton vào cuối nhiệm kỳ của mình đã cố gắng tổ chức một cuộc đàm phán cuối cùng giữa thủ tướng Israel Ehud Barak và lãnh đạo PLO Arafat, nhưng đã thất bại. » Nội bộ phương Tây ngày càng nghiêng về công nhận Palestine Đầu những năm 2000, tiến trình hướng đến một xứ sở Palestine độc lập có một số bước tiến, với việc quân đội Israel lần đầu tiên rút khỏi dải Gaza kể từ năm 1967. Tuy nhiên, tình hình thay đổi sau khi tổ chức Hồi giáo Hamas, không thừa nhận Israel và chủ trương dùng vũ lực, lên nắm quyền tại Gaza năm 2007 : Nội bộ Palestine chia rẽ sâu sắc. Việc Hamas kiểm soát Gaza đẩy người Palestine dấn sâu vào thế đối đầu một mất một còn với Israel. Con đường hướng đến hai nhà nước Palestine - Israel cùng tồn tại hòa bình, đã bắt đầu hé mở thời Arafat, ngày càng trở nên xa vời. Tuy nhiên, về mặt ngoại giao, nỗ lực của Cơ quan Quyền lực Palestine gặt hái một số thành công. Năm 2012, Liên Hiệp Quốc công nhận Palestine là « nhà nước quan sát viên không phải thành viên » Liên Hiệp Quốc. Năm 2024, Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc ra một nghị quyết mang tính biểu tượng, yêu cầu kết nạp Palestine làm thành viên chính thức. Điều không được chấp nhận do lá phiếu phủ quyết của Mỹ.  Kể từ tháng 5/2024, Palestine được Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc tiếp nhận gần như một thành viên chính thức của Liên Hiệp Quốc với vị trí được xếp theo thứ tự ABC, và được phép đề xuất các dự thảo nghị quyết, đồng chủ trì dự thảo nghị quyết (với 143 phiếu thuận, 9 phiếu chống và 25 vắng mặt). Theo chủ tịch Đại hội đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc « những sự kiện kinh hoàng trong bảy tháng qua chỉ làm tăng thêm tính cấp bách của việc đạt được một giải pháp hòa bình công bằng, toàn diện và lâu dài cho tình hình ở Trung Đông » và con đường khả thi duy nhất dẫn đến hòa bình ở Trung Đông là thông qua giải pháp hai nhà nước. Cho đến nay, Palestine đã được hơn 140 quốc gia công nhận, vượt 2/3 số thành viên Liên Hiệp Quốc. Trong nội bộ các nước phương Tây, ngày càng nhiều nước coi việc công nhận Palestine là biện pháp cần thiết để thực thi « giải pháp hai nhà nước », đã được Liên Hiệp Quốc đề ra hồi 1947. Công nhận nhà nước Palestine là « điều kiện để bảo đảm an ninh cho Israel », như một tuyên bố của Hội đồng Châu Âu năm 1999. 

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with legal expert on genocide Menachem Rosensaft. Rosensaft is an adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School and lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School, where he teaches the law of genocide -- since 2008 at Cornell and since 2011 at Columbia. A dedicated pro-Israel US Jewish leader, Rosensaft is the general counsel emeritus of the World Jewish Congress and has been part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, most notably sitting with PLO leader Yasser Arafat alongside four other American Jewish leaders in 1988, after which Arafat said he recognized the State of Israel's right to exist. Rosensaft discusses the important legal and rhetorical distinction between genocide and crimes against humanity or war crimes, feeling that the definition's precision is being diluted in popular use. We learn about the history and evolution of Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide and the ripple effect it has caused. He emphasizes that Israel cannot be held out as the sole villain in the ongoing war, and explains how Hamas exhibits genocidal intent and ideology. However, the statements from a handful of far-right Israeli politicians is making South Africa's December 2023 legal case accusing the Jewish state of genocide much harder to win. Finally, he rails against the Israeli government's weaponization of the word "antisemitism" for all dissent against the Jewish state, but doubles down on the need for an ongoing peace process leading to a Palestinian state. And so this week, we ask genocide legal expert Menachem Rosensaft, what matters now.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, as Israel marks the beginning of the Disengagement from Gaza 20 years ago, we speak with former Brooklynite Anita Tucker, 79, who helped settle Nezer Hazani in 1977 and was forcibly removed from her home in 2005 alongside her husband, children and grandchildren. Affectionately called "the celery lady" due to her flourishing Gush Katif farm, Tucker describes how her young children were the deciding factor for staking their tent pegs in the barren land of Nezer Hazani after she viewed them "sledding" down the dunes on garbage bags. This same inert sand allowed the residents to grow their trademark, bug-free Gush Katif vegetables with the newest agricultural technology -- drip irrigation. She talks about warm relationships with her Arab neighbors -- until talk of "peace" came and the empowerment of PLO leader Yasser Arafat. She describes how once Arafat established a foothold in Gaza, he hanged the leadership of Deir al-Balah, who were Tucker’s close personal friends. She speaks about the terror attacks the community absorbed, but the ideological faith that their community was protecting the rest of the Land of Israel. Former prime minister Ariel Sharon's announcement of a unilateral pullout from Gaza came as a betrayal and we hear how the youth protested against this move until the very end. But after the pullout, the former Gush Katif residents experienced a second betrayal in that they had to fight to get compensation and rebuild their lives. Tucker and much of the original settlement refounded Nezer Hazani seven years later inside the State of Israel, but, as she says, these are their "houses," they are not their "homes." Tucker speaks to the community's yearning to resettle the Gaza Strip and how concrete plans have been presented to the Israeli government during what the potential resettlers view as a window of opportunity. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

What happens when a boy grows up in the crossfire of Lebanon's civil war, trains in Israel's military camps, and survives a bomb blast by a miracle? Pastor Pierre Altuna's life is a mix of danger, loss, and unexpected grace. From being kidnapped by the PLO to fighting Hezbollah, his story is filled with moments where death seemed certain - until God intervened. But this is more than a soldier's memoir. It's the journey of a man who knew “Christian” only as a label - until relentless love from his wife and a persistent pastor led him to surrender to Yeshua.  Now leading a vibrant Messianic congregation in northern Israel, Pastor Pierre stands as both shepherd and protector, guiding his flock through rockets, war, and the hope of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile. This is faith forged in fire, hope born in the shadow of conflict, and a call to stand with Israel for the sake of God's Kingdom. Key Takeaways Lebanon's Civil War shaped his identity - and his understanding of survival. Kidnapped by the PLO - rescued only through family intervention. Trained in Israel - learning the mindset of Hezbollah. Survived a bombing - a helmet swap he calls a miracle. From cultural Christian to believer - through his wife's faith and a persistent pastor. Leads a multi-ethnic Messianic congregation in Nahariya, near the Lebanese border. Equips soldiers - providing gear, training, and spiritual encouragement.

Send us a textI went on line and looked up the Oslo Accords signed by President Bill Clinton, PLO Leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin. It was an important moment that has faded now in its importance as the Israeli conflict with Hamas has taken centerstage. I thought it interesting to read what Artificial Intelligence wrote about the accords, that this episode will also allow you to relive as they happened. "The Oslo Accords were a pair of agreements signed in 1993 and 1995 between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that aimed to establish a framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first accord, signed in 1993, involved mutual recognition and established the Palestinian Authority (PA) to govern parts of the West Bank and Gaza. The second, signed in 1995, further defined the interim period and outlined areas of Palestinian self-rule. Ultimately, the accords aimed for a final peace agreement, including the establishment of a Palestinian state, but this goal has not yet been achieved. Key aspects of the Oslo Accords:Mutual Recognition:The Oslo I Accord marked the first time Israel and the PLO formally recognized each other. Palestinian Authority (PA):The agreements led to the establishment of the PA, which was intended to be an interim self-governing body for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Interim Period and Final Status Talks:The accords outlined an interim period, during which the PA would assume some governing responsibilities, with the expectation that final status negotiations would address issues such as borders, refugees, Jerusalem, and settlements. Israeli Withdrawal:The accords included provisions for Israeli troop redeployment from parts of the West Bank and Gaza. Two-State Solution:While not explicitly stated in the initial agreement, the accords were intended to pave the way for a two-state solution, with an independent Palestinian state existing alongside Israel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dQszSMliVA Alan Skorski had the opportunity to interview the foremost expert on Islamism and the Arab world, Dr. Mordechai Kedar. Dr. Kedar also served for 25 years in the IDF Military Intelligence Unit specializing in Syria, Arab political discourse, Arab mass media, Islamic groups, and Israeli Arabs. As someone who is fluent in Arabic, Dr. Kedar is often invited onto Arab and Muslim news programs to give his perspective on the news of the day, especially during times of war and conflict. 30 years ago, Dr. Kedar proposed the “8-state” solution to address the Israeli conflict with those Arabs identifying as Palestinian, having recognized what most of the world refused to, that there can never be and will never be a “2 -State solution” with any faction or offshoot of the PLO or Fatah. In the interview, Skorski reminded the audience that we are coming up on 700 days since the Hamas Muslim Brotherhood slaughtered over 1200 Israeli citizens and kidnapped over 250 innocent hostages on October 7, 2023. Since then, the IDF has surgically crushed the infrastructures in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. The media and so-called “humanitarian groups,” have focused all their attention on Gaza, accusing Israel of war crimes and genocide for allegedly withholding food from Gaza's civilians. In response, the morally bankrupt leaders in Europe, led by France and Britain, and followed by Canada, have threatened to recognize “Palestine” as some sort of punishment against Israel. These leaders claim that only a “2-state” solution will lead to peace and security. Never mind that the Palestinian Authority has rejected every offer made to them, and that Gaza was an independent state, NO PALESTINIAN leader is even calling for “2 states.” From the River to the Sea, opposes 2 states. There is only solution, intifada Revolution rejects 2 states. YET, Europe, western media, and many Democrats in America are calling for a “Palestine” that Palestinians don't want. In early July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sheikh Wadee' al-Jaabari and four other prominent clan leaders from Hebron had signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Their plan: Hebron would secede from the Palestinian Authority, establish an independent emirate, and join the Abraham Accords. With this news report, Dr. Kedar's 30 year-old prophecy resurfaced with renewed interest for his “8-state” solution, which would cut out the Palestinian terrorist leadership, and replace them with Arab tribal leaders to rule over themselves in designated Arab-run territories. Dr. Kedar cited Countries where clans have their own separate autonomy are more successful. We see this in countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, that have economic stability, safety, law, and order. These countries, by no coincidence, are run by clans: al-Sabah (Kuwait), al-Thani (Qatar), al-Nahayan (Abu Dhabi), al-Saud (Saudi Arabia), al-Hashem (Jordan), and so on. Compare these to the Arab countries where the clans are in disarray, such as Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Dr. Kedar is the Vice President of a recently launched App, News-Rael that gives up to the minute accurate news items about Israel and the Middle East. Alan Skorski Reports 11AUG2025 - PODCAST

Defend the GPO and Save Moore St.There is widespread anger at the decision by the Irish government to convert the historic GPO in Dublin into shops and offices. Last Saturday hundreds gathered in O'Connell St. to protest at the government's plans for the GPO and for the Moore St. Battlefield site. Their demand is for the protection of the cultural and revolutionary heritage of this part of Dublin.Every nation that fought for its freedom from colonial rule - often from the British - has hallowed ground, the place where patriots made a stand against injustice and occupation. For the people of Ireland, the GPO is one such place.  It is the place where the revolutionary generation of the early 1900s declared for a Republic and where the Pearse read the Proclamation of that republic.Best International DocumentaryI spent the weekend in Galway and Mayo. The weather was amazing. The countryside with its miles of stone walls separating plots of land and the lush colours of green and rocky inclines was a joy to travel through.I was in Galway on Saturday to attend the Galway Film Festival/Fleadh where Trisha Ziff's film – A Ballymurphy Man - was receiving its world premiere. The cinema in the old Town Hall where the Festival is centred was packed to capacity for the screening. The audience was hugely attentive and very welcoming when Trisha and I went on the stage at the end of the screening to talk about the making of the documentary.A Week in the Life and Death of GAZAI first met Mustafa Barghouti in the west Bank in 2014. The General Secretary of the Palestine National Initiative is a physician, an activist, and is head of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society. He is also a member of the PLO and of the Palestinian Legislative Council. He advocates the use of non-violence and civil disobedience.In a few weeks' time, I hope to have the opportunity to interview Mustafa for a special podcast on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.Each day Mustafa sends out a WhatsApp update on news from the region. The following is an edited daily diary for the week beginning Sunday 6 July to Sunday 13 July.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Does the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act violate the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment?The case was decided on June 20, 2025.The Supreme Court held that the PSJVTA's personal jurisdiction provision does not violate the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause because the statute reasonably ties jurisdiction over the PLO and PA to conduct involving the United States and implicating sensitive foreign policy matters within the prerogative of the political branches. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion of the Court.The Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause does not impose the same jurisdictional limitations as the Fourteenth Amendment because the federal government occupies a sovereign sphere dramatically different from that of state governments. While the Fourteenth Amendment's jurisdictional limits protect interstate federalism by ensuring states do not exceed their territorial boundaries as coequal sovereigns, these federalism concerns are inapplicable to the federal government, which possesses both nationwide and extraterritorial authority. The Constitution authorizes the federal government alone to regulate foreign commerce, prosecute offenses against U.S. nationals abroad, and conduct foreign affairs. Therefore, the Fifth Amendment permits a more flexible jurisdictional inquiry commensurate with the federal government's broader sovereign authority than the “minimum contacts” standard required under the Fourteenth Amendment.The PSJVTA represents a permissible exercise of this authority because it narrowly targets only two specific foreign entities that have longstanding, complex relationships with the United States involving terrorism concerns. The statute's jurisdictional predicates—payments to imprisoned terrorists and their families, and activities conducted on U.S. soil—directly implicate important federal policies aimed at deterring terrorism and protecting American citizens. The political branches' coordinated judgment in enacting this legislation warrants judicial deference, particularly given the statute's limited scope applying only to ATA cases and its clear notice to the PLO and PA that specified conduct would subject them to U.S. jurisdiction. Even assuming a reasonableness inquiry applies under the Fifth Amendment, the PSJVTA satisfies it given the federal government's compelling interest in providing a forum for terrorism victims, the plaintiffs' interest in obtaining relief, and the absence of any unfair burden on these sophisticated international organizations that have litigated in U.S. courts for decades.Justice Thomas authored an opinion concurring in the judgment, joined by Justice Gorsuch as to Part II, arguing that the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause imposes no territorial limits on the federal government's power to extend federal jurisdiction beyond the nation's borders.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

Xuan Liu just detonated one of poker's longest-standing glass ceilings—busting a 200-event streak with the first female title in Triton history, taking down the $25 000 WPT Global Slam in Montenegro (155 entries, $860 000 up top). I had to know how she did it, so we sat down to trade war stories: her Yukon bankroll challenge that started with two grand total (flights included), the cliquey staking webs that freeze most women out of 25 Ks, and why she thinks “marketing yourself” is the truest edge in high-rollers.From double-board bomb-pots in the Arctic to four-bet battles on Poker Night in America, we unpack the mind-game, the money game, and the human game... plus a few leaks we're still plugging.If you're chasing freedom through cards... or just wondering how a calm Canadian-Chinese grinder became the “Queen of Triton”, hit play, drop a comment, and let's keep pushing the ceiling higher!CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction & Xuan's breakthrough Triton win01:45 – Are there other female high-roller champs?03:30 – Where Xuan ranks among the game's top women05:35 – The real barriers keeping women out of high-stakes poker08:55 – Selling action online as a launchpad to live events11:45 – Why community (and clean staking deals) matter14:30 – Cash-game cred vs. tournament glory18:50 – Stream games, thumbnails & the “female click-factor”22:00 – The $2k cross-Canada bankroll challenge28:15 – Yukon bomb-pots and soft PLO edges33:40 – Wild travel poker tales from Newfoundland to Nunavut38:45 – Couch-surfing, poverty roots & those early $5k shots40:45 – Cutting costs: practical tips for the tour-grind lifestyle43:50 – Re-igniting passion, building brand & fresh content goals46:30 – WSOP plans, mixed-game temptations and China tour50:15 – Dating on pause: focus, independence & life balance52:45 – Growing the women's game: golf analogy & untapped markets55:40 – Final reflections, bracelet dreams & sign-offPINNED COMMENTWho should I have next on the podcast?

We're joined by a special guest, Harvard Law Professor Stephen Sachs, to talk about Fuld v. Palestine Liberation Organization. Fuld is last week's big personal jurisdiction case, where the Court upheld federal laws extending jurisdiction to the PLO and PA for antiterrorism lawsuits. The author of several important articles on these issues and an amicus brief in Fuld, Steve gives us his take on the relationship between personal jurisdiction, international law and due process, and helps us evaluate the majority opinion and Justice Thomas's concurrence.

For many years, Palestine had one of the strongest left-wing movements in the Arab world, represented by prominent figures such as Emile Habibi, Leila Khaled, and Ghassan Kanafani. At the beginning of the First Intifada in the 1980s, Palestinian left groups were still the main challengers to the hegemony of Fatah, although the Left has lost much of its influence in the period since then. Red Star Over Palestine: Histories of the Palestinian Left is a six-part series from Long Reads exploring radical movements and progressive organizations of the region. We examine the experience of Palestinian communism and the left-wing currents inside the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization. We also look at the outsized impact of the Left on Palestinian cultural life. Our final episode examines the framework of the Oslo Accords and, as Hamas became the main force articulating opposition, the response of the Left. Red Star Over Palestine is hosted by Daniel Finn and produced by Conor Gillies. Music provided by Fadi Tabbal.

Our fourth episode focuses on the movement's turn to Lebanon, where Palestinian radicals found a new base and hoped to launch a wider Arab revolution.

Miles Minnick is a new sensation coming out of the Bay Area, blending contemporary music styles with his faith as a Christian rapper. Growing up in Pittsburg, he overcame a challenging childhood in a single-parent household, becoming a teenage father, and dabbling in the streets. When a chance encounter led him to church, Miles received a message that his purpose was to inspire others through music. Becoming the first Christian rapper to perform at Rolling Loud and collaborating with artists like 310Babii, E-40, and P-Lo, he's making Bay Area history.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro02:40 Childhood06:19 Discovering Christianity11:52 Christianity in the black community20:40 Joining the church23:22 Questioning God30:40 Pursuing music34:40 Getting fired38:19 Tests of faith44:30 Christian rap55:51 Occultism in music industry1:03:02 Glo Nation

For many years, Palestine had one of the strongest left-wing movements in the Arab world, represented by prominent figures such as Leila Khaled and Ghassan Kanafani. At the beginning of the First Intifada in the 1980s, Palestinian left groups were the main challengers to the hegemony of Fatah. Although the Palestinian left has lost much of its influence since the 1980s, they still play an important role today. Red Star Over Palestine: Histories of the Palestinian Left is a six-part series from Long Reads exploring radical movements and progressive organizations of the region. The podcast examines the experience of Palestinian communism and the left-wing currents inside the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization. We also look at the outsized impact of the Left on Palestinian cultural life. In our third episode, we discuss two of the most prominent figures associated with Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: Ghassan Kanafani and Leila Khaled.

A discussion of ongoing negotiations with Iran began this episode with the former leading Middle East negotiator and author of Statecraft 2.0 Ambassador Dennis Ross, and proceeded to dialogue about Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Israel and the shift in regional balances of power in the Middle East. Michael Krasny brought up President Trump and statecraft as well as Trump's tariff strategy, the way he views U.S. allies and his overall mendacity. Ambassador Ross spoke of leverage diminishing without geopolitical successes and the reality of our presently no longer being in a unipolar world.This rich and highly engaging conversation went on to include discussion of deterrence and compromise and working with China and leverage Trump has with Putin if he would use it, as well as the difficulties policy makers face in making objectives clear – Lyndon Johnson on Vietnam, Joe Biden on Iraq and Barack Obama on Syria serving as the Ambassador's examples. Former White House Chief of Staff James Baker and current Secretary of State Marco Rubio were discussed along with the tools of statecraft, including the role of kindness and empathy, the importance of focusing on issues and the role of social media. Krasny and Ross went on to talk about Yasser Arafat, which led the Ambassador to highlight what he could have done better with the PLO leader, and to reflect on the Camp David talks and what he wished he had done. This richly expansive dialogue concluded with reflections from Ambassador Ross on present day Saudi Arabia under MBS and what both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must do to move forward toward peace.In anticipation of Mother's Day, this episode added, following the Krasny-Ross conversation, an interview with Eva Hausman, co-founder of the Mother's Day Movement, which gives assistance to mothers around the world.

This year has tested Israel and the Jewish people like never before. Amid devastating war, political chaos, and a global surge in antisemitism, Noam Weissman reflects on an astonishing truth: it could have been even worse. In this episode of Unpacking Israeli History, Noam revisits a few breathtaking stories of Israel's legendary intelligence agency, the Mossad, whose secret missions have saved countless lives. From the brilliant sabotage of Hezbollah's communications network in 2024 to the dramatic 1973 "Operation Spring of Youth" where Israeli commandos disguised themselves in drag to eliminate top PLO leaders, these missions are the stuff of spy thrillers—except they're real.

Posting a podcast about Munich on Easter Weekend wasn't a deliberately provocative choice. Posting this mostly-effective "you'll pay for that" procedural during Revenge Month WAS intentional. Episode #659 of Have You Ever Seen is a Ryan monologue about Palestinian terrorists kidnapping and then assassinating Jewish athletes at the 1972 Olympics...and then the Israelis siccing a hit squad on those who planned it. Upbeat blockbuster filmmaker Steven Spielberg isn't squeamish about showing viciousness and bloodshed when he makes an Important Movie. Trouble is, he gets so heavy-handed in the last half-hour, as Eric Bana struggles with the moral ramifications (and blowback) after what he & his team have done. A pre-stardom Daniel Craig is part of that team, as are Geoffrey Rush & Ciaran Hinds. There's no quibble with their performances. It's just the 9/11 parallels and the politics of the unending conflict in the Middle East that repeatedly smack you in the face. In any case, there's much to discuss about what Black September did (not so much the PLO by the way, but that specific terrorist group) and then what the Jewish hit squad did as payback.
