September 11, 2014

Sam Bahour

Al-Shabaka advisor Sam Bahour discusses excerpts from Al-Shabaka's policy brief, "Drying Palestine: Israel’s Systemic Water War," by Muna Dajani.

Sam Bahour
Sam Bahour

Al-Shabaka advisor Sam Bahour's impressively concrete proposal for a political way forward, written with British researcher Tony Klug, was published earlier in 2014 at various outlets including Le Monde diplomatique, AlQuds, and openDemocracy, and was likely noticed by the Palestinian leadership. If adopted, it would be "a game changer that matches the seismic shift that has just emerged from Gaza," Bahour writes. Their proposal bears revisiting.

Ma'an News Agency republishes Al-Shabaka member Randa Farah's [commentary on persistent failure of negotiations](http://al-shabaka.org/palestinian-dead-end-highlights-right-return?page=show), for which the Palestinian people must hold the Palestinian leadership accountable. As she argues, the PLO/PA should not replace different forms of resistance to the occupation with unlimited negotiations while finding itself under pressure to actively work to halt other acts of resistance simply for these negotiations to continue – and should remember the centrality of the right of return.

Energy production and distribution are a case-in-point of "increasing forced Palestinian dependence on Israel," explains Al-Shabaka's Commissioning Editor Jacqueline Sansour. "As a [U.S.] taxpayer, I want Americans' $600 million-a-year contribution to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to help end this occupation, not make it easier for Palestinians to endure it." Sansour's study is also a guide to several other Al-Shabaka-exclusive critiques on the Palestinians and their embargoed energy resources.
