News Time to Abandon Stalled Peace Process?
Once seen as heresy, proposals for bypassing the Middle East peace process — or even jettisoning a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — are increasingly making their way into mainstream discourse while the peace process itself remains mired in a deep freeze. The spectrum of ideas now being voiced in prominent and respected political…

Opinion Should Gaza Become Part of Egypt?
Is Egypt Palestine? It is a tired (and discredited) claim that Jordan is Palestine. But now there is a new one: that Egypt is. I inadvertently pushed a button I didn’t mean to push earlier this week in a conversation in Gaza City with a group of Islamists, mostly Hamas officials and their supporters. I…

Opinion Presidential Questions on Peace Process
The battle for the philo-Israel vote is taking familiar shape as both major candidates and major parties do their best to pledge fealty to Israel at this hour of maximum peril.

News Boycotting Israel and My Olive Tapenade
In March, the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn made history, or at least the national media, when its members voted down a proposal to ban Israeli-made products in political protest of the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. Park Slope’s is not the first food cooperative to discuss such a boycott, nor the first to…

News Hamas Wouldn’t Honor a Treaty, Top Leader Says
Any agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will be subject to far-reaching changes if Hamas comes to power in a democratic Palestinian state, a top Hamas leader told the Forward in an exclusive and wide-ranging interview. Mousa Abu Marzook, considered Hamas’s second-highest-ranking official, said that his group would view an agreement between Israel…
