6-22-2017 Gaza power plant back on, with help of alliance of old foes - FARES AKRAM AND MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Times of Israel

http://www.timesofisrael.com/gaza-power-plant-back-on-with-help-of-alliance-of-old-foes/   Egypt, Hamas and Abbas's former ally Mohammad Dahlan reportedly join forces against the Palestinian Authority to restore electricity to Gaza… The sole power plant in electricity-starved Gaza Strip sputtered back to life Thursday after receiving fuel from Egypt — a shipment that resulted from a surprising alliance between bitter ex-rivals, including the territory's ruling Hamas and an exiled former Gaza strongman.   Egypt's shipment of 1 million liters of fuel undercut a high-stakes campaign by Western-backed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who is trying to weaken Hamas by gradually reducing the flow of electricity to the territory he lost to the militants in 2007…   ...Dahlan helped persuade Egypt to send the badly needed fuel to Gaza, in exchange for Hamas allowing him to broaden his political presence in Gaza, according to officials involv...

While there is no doubt that there is awealth of finds to excite one's sense of Jewish continuity, there are many layers to this city which appeal to a variety of cultural and religious communities.

10-5-2018 The Trouble With ‘Preventing Palestine’ - As’ad AbuKhalil Consortium News

  https://consortiumnews.com/2018/10/05/the-trouble-with-preventing-palestine/   Seth Anziska's new book on the Arab-Israeli "peace process" is a useful primer on the conflict, but it does not fully examine the paradox of the Carter administration's solution that we are still living with, argues… This book will serve as a useful introduction for courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict on college campuses. It provides an interesting and comprehensive chronicle of the peace process since Carter's administration.   But the paradox of the Carter administration (and of this book) is that the administration that did the most (in theory) to find a comprehensive solution (on terms that are far more agreeable to the Israeli side than to the Palestinian side) is the same administration paved the way for greater Israeli occupation and aggression by taking Egypt out of the equation so Israel could fight on one front for the first time… Posted by Judith Ferste...
