On the Jericho Road

Issue: 2000, Volume 33, Issue 4
Subject: Media
Author: Wall, James M.
Issue Description: In 1973, upon assuming the editorship of Christian Century, Jim Wall received an invitation from the American Jewish Committee to take an all-expenses paid trip to Israel. He began his journey a solid, pro-Israel supporter, a position his AJC host had hoped to reinforce. But, then— in a twist of fate not planned by his host— he met LeRoy Friesen, a Mennonite, who convinced him to spend a day with him in the Israeli-occupied, Palestinian West Bank. Now, 23 years later, the editor-politician-minister looks back upon an event that happened that day as a turning point in his understanding of Palestinians and their history.

Subject: Christianity|History|Holy Land|Theology
Author: Prior, Michael C. M.
Issue Description: Is Yahweh the Great Ethnic-Cleanser?  Did He not instruct the Israelites to rid their Promised Land of its indigenous people?  Few biblical scholars want to wrestle with these questions.  Rev.

Sahmatah

Issue: 1999, Volume 32, Issue 1
Subject: History|Land and Homes|Refugees|War/Conflict
Author: Mast, Edward
Issue Description: This is the story of one American playwright's willingness to question the world according to the U.S. media. And it is the story of a Palestinian-American’s search for a past that had eluded him. Central to both stories is a village in the Upper Galilee, where horses and cows now graze. “Sahmatah”is a one-act play for two actors. It debuted in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada in 1996. In 1998, it was produced in Arabic in the Masrah al-Midan theater in Haifa, and on the ruins of the village of Sahmatah in the Upper Galilee.

Subject: Human Rights|Land and Homes|Refugees|War/Conflict
Author: Hamzeh-Muhaisen, Muna
Issue Description: What is it like to be on the receiving end of the longest military occupation in modern history? Muna Hamzeh-Muhaisen lived in Dheisheh, a refugee camp on the outskirts of Bethlehem, for more than a decade, including the period of the first intifada. This is her account of the people who have lived in Dheisheh all of their lives. As she notes, there is hardly a refugee in The Camp, young or old, who doesn’t remember the names of the camp’s victims and even the years of their untimely deaths.

Secret Evidence

Issue: 1999, Volume 32, Issue 3
Subject: Civil Rights|Courts
Author: Sugg, John
Issue Description: This issue focuses on a country whose Supreme Court recently ruled that its government, for political reasons, can target particular groups within its non-citizen population for deportation. While deportation is being pursued, the aliens can be jailed indefinitely on the basis of evidence that neither they nor their lawyers are permitted to see. It focuses on a university professor forcibly taken in handcuffs from his home where for years he had lived peaceably with his wife and three young
daughters. There are two authors for this issue of The Link. John Sugg is a reporter in Florida, where a Palestinian professor is spending his third year in jail for no known reason. Kit Gage of the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom monitors other cases of prisoners of Middle Eastern origin languishing in our prisons for reasons known neither to them nor to their lawyers.

Subject: History|Land and Homes|War/Conflict|Zionism
Author: Pappe, Ilan
Issue Description: This issue’s feature article by Ilan Pappe, an historian at Haifa University, challenges Israel’s official account of what happened 50 years ago in Palestine.

The Jews of Iraq

Issue: 1998, Volume 31, Issue 2
Subject: Civil Rights|History|Iraq|Zionism
Author: Giladi, Naeim
Issue Description: In our previous Link, an Israeli historian looked at the hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinians whose lives were uprooted to make room for foreigners who would come to populate confiscated land. Most were Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe. But over half a million other Jews came from Islamic lands. Zionist propagandists claim that Israel “rescued”these Jews from their anti-Jewish, Muslim neighbors. One of those “rescued” Jews— Naeim Giladi— knows otherwise.

Politics Not As Usual

Issue: 1998, Volume 31, Issue 3
Subject: Human Rights|Land and Homes|Media|Politics
Author: Driver, Rod
Issue Description: Rod Driver is running for the United States Congress from Rhode Island’s second district. No stranger to politics— he was elected four times to Rhode Island’s state legislature— Driver is now doing something no other candidate for federal office has ever done. He’s telling his constituents how their tax dollars are being used to dispossess and torture Palestinians. And he’s doing it by showing on television graphic film of Palestinian parents and their children being dragged kicking and screaming from their home as a bulldozer moves in to turn it all to rubble. (Channel 12 in Rhode Island prefaces Driver’s TV ad with the disclaimer: “The following political advertisement contains scenes which may be disturbing to children. Viewer discretion is advised.”) Why, at 65, spend thousands of your own dollars on behalf of Palestinians? That’s what we asked Professor Driver to explain in this issue.
