View an excellent video interview with Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Lecturer in Language Education at the Hebrew University. In this in-depth exposé of the Israeli educational system, she explains at length how dehumanizing methods and content appear at every turn on her foray through state-approved textbooks.

Also, read the piece the Guardian did on her work. Here’s an article that she wrote concerning the racist nature of the legal system vis-a-vis the Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories.

Orders for her forthcoming book.

Zochrot: Remembering the Nakba

Zochrot is a Jewish organization that focuses on documenting the Nakba and working for the Right of Return for Palestinians. In Hebrew, Zochrot is the plural feminine form of “Remembering.” It’a a fitting name for an organization that was founded and is mainly staffed by Jewish women.

Salam Blogging

Just getting my Salam blog going - finally.  What is a Salam blog?  How is it different from other blogs?  Good questions.  I hope to answer them in time and over the course of the life of this blog.  But here’s a quick go at it: a Salam blog is a forum portal for the necessary ingredients of Salam/Shalom to flow in multiple directions.

One of those necessary ingredients is wisdom in the face of pressure.  The pressure to which I am referring is that of expectations and (at times worse) pre-expectations. This, I’m sure, is well-known.  Perhaps by describing it more in detail, though, it might be examined a bit more thoroughly.

Here’s to hoping so.
