Stuart Littlewood considers the possible scenarios open to the Palestinians in the coming months in view of the death – some would say the stillbirth – of the “peace process”, from UN membership to the collapse of the Palestinian National Authority and “new openings and possibilities, a new logic and strategy, and even … new players”.
In an article entitled “Mobilizing for September?”, Jeff Halper, Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), shares his thoughts on the collective action that must be taken between now and when the window of opportunity for applying for Palestinian statehood opens in September.
As he rightly says, the Palestinian Authority (PA) over the years "has failed to mobilize its greatest resource and ally, grassroots activists the world over". It also needs to provide them with guidance and leadership. "We have no idea where the PA is heading," he says.
So it has been left to the likes of Halper to explain the Palestinians' options in September and inject some semblance of debate into the situation facing supporters, activists and that shabby excuse for a government in Ramallah that’s more of a hindrance than a help.
No more pointless talk of negotiations
