Fifty-six years have passed since Palestinian lands were usurped and the exodus of thousands of families began. Generation after generation has been consigned to refugee camps in neighbouring Arab countries. Wars, international resolutions and countless peace initiatives have attempted to put an end to the Palestinian experience of suppression, violence and displacement. Marking the anniversary of the nakba, Palestinian writers address history and the present
Sharon's nightmare
Having killed the two-state solution, Sharon has left Palestinians little choice but to demand what to him would be a nightmare -- a democratic, bi-national state, writes Mustafa Barghouti
Rules of engagement
Some believe force is justified in opposing Israeli occupation, but international humanitarian law is binding on both sides, writes Asem Khalil
The road to Palestine
Al-Awda's recent conference in New York underlined the inalienable nature of the Palestinian cause, suggesting concrete means by which to take the struggle forward, writes Musa Al-Hindi
Searching for meaning
The nakba was not just a tragic moment in the history of Palestinians, but touches the core of the struggle -- now as in the past -- for Arab dignity, identity and justice in the face of power, writes Azmi Bishara
Salman Abu Sitta: Right of Return
A Palestine perspective on life
