my op-ed in the Washington Post on the same subject, featuring (well, citing) Yousuf. I'm excited this got published where it did. I just hope it has some effect on Washington policymakers.
"Disengagement From Justice":
Like the much-maligned Oslo peace process before it, which for 10 years was just that, a process and nothing more, this disengagement cannot yield a lasting peace unless it brings justice for the Palestinian people. So long as the Bush administration continues to turn a blind eye to illegal settlements in the West Bank and Israel maintains its control of Gaza's borders -- including its sea and air space and land crossings -- the disengagement will suffer a fate similar to that of Oslo.

Congrats on making the Post. We desperately need more voices like yours in there.
Enjoyed the article, very prestigious to be published in the Post. Am glad you blog, yours is the only voice I've ever heard from directly from Gaza.

Congratulations! It's a real statement to the quality of your work when a major newspaper like the Washington Post chooses to publish it.
