Op-Ed: Will education be the next security risk in the Occupied Territories?
The Israeli military raid on Al-Quds University in Jerusalem is ironic in light of the recent claim by the Israeli military that Palestinian textbooks incite students against the Israeli government. That claim, repeatedly debunked by U.S. academics, misses the point, writes Lara Harb. The occupation -- not to mention the ongoing attack on primary schools and universities -- provides a far more provocative education than anything a textbook could ever convey.

Op-Ed: Where there is no vision, the people perish
The children of Abraham have shed too much blood. Neither has had a vision of the future which makes room for the other. It is time for Israelis and Palestinians alike to develop a new vision of the future Ð and it must be a moral vision, since the politicians have shown themselves to be disreputable and untrustworthy.

Bush must overcome hesitations and commit troops to Middle East
The only hope of breaking the Israeli-Palestinian deadlock lies in outside intervention. Whereas many nations may influence Palestinian actions, the United States is the only nation with any leverage over Israel. This makes some form of American intervention in the Palestinian conflict inevitable, despite substantial domestic political risk.

Atrocious Reports and Reporting Atrocities
As long as the Israeli military closes off its military operations to news coverage, writes Elliott Colla in an op-ed, we have the moral duty to take seriously reports of atrocities that arrive via other media each day.

Op-Ed: Censorship and violence in the Middle East
A hard look at what Israeli military censors cut from news articles before their publication reveals a pattern, writes Elliott Colla. The censors sought to stifle the notion that the death of Palestinians might have a pattern. Incidents of violence against Palestinians could only be reported as isolated occurrences.
