From Challenge # 69
September-October 2001
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues
to escalate, much against the will of leaders on both sides. As options
grow fewer, the feeling is one of Walls Closing In. Yet Hamas seems
satisfied: every suicide attack, it proclaims, brings it closer to "the
Destruction of the Zionist Entity." Our editorial holds that The
Roots of the conflict Are Global, and so too will be the solution.
Dr. Mudar Kassis, who has recently edited a book on the Second Intifada,
gives Challenge a View from Inside. On the jobs front, WAC
has entered its second year as a registered Non-Profit Association, defending
workers' rights. To mark this occasion, the Registrar of NPA's, after being
foiled in the first round, has opened his second Witch Hunt Against
us. We ask for solidarity. In Galilee, Rosa, Jamila, Ruth and Dolores
were at the center of a unique summer camp, focusing on the role of women
in the struggle for freedom. "Yes, We Have No Bananas!" sing proud
patients at a Zionism Treatment Center somewhere in the Caribbean. Their
chant is heard as far as Durban, South Africa. Challenge takes a
look at this new and occasionally successful therapy.
