"Encyclopedia of the Palestine Problem" by Issa Nakhleh


 

Press release:


 

Major reference work on Palestine


 

Now available on the internet: The most detailed presentation of the
Palestine problem. Originally published in 1991 the two volume "Encyclopedia
of the Palestine Problem" is available under


 

Anyone still believing the myth of the "evil Palestinians" and the "poor
suffering Israelis" will have to revise his position after reading the book.
Murder, usurpation, terrorism, destruction of agricultural possessions,
elimination of villages, rape and torture .... -the "Encyclopedia of the
Palestine Problem" shows in shocking detail the fate of a people whose voice
is heard but whom not many seem to listen to.


 

In his forward John Quigley, Professor of International Law, writes: "The
consequences of Mr. Nakhleh's analysis are serious. If the government of
Israel has committed even a fraction of the international crimes he
describes, then virtually every high official in Israel from 1948 to the
present is subject to prosecution as a war criminal."


 

Francis A. Bolye, Professor of International Law, states: "It must be read
in order to comprehend the enormous sense of historical injustice that has
been felt and lived by the Palestinian people for over the past for decades.
These grave injustices must be rectified before there can ever be some
modicum of peace in the middle East for anyone."


 

Detailed references to the many different sources, from eye witness accounts
to United Nations  documentation and reports from the Public Record Office
in London, show the enormous work of fact finding which has gone into the
writing of the encyclopedia.


 

Palestinians do not have such a smooth public relations machine as the
Israeli government can afford. However, Palestinians can point to facts -
facts which are easily forgotten in the daily dealings with the Palestine
problem.

Habibi, Habibi
Gaza-dagboek


 

Graag brengen wij het onder uw aandacht én nodigen wij u uit voor vrijdag 11
juni aanstaande: dan zal Anja Meulenbelt - u bekend van Stichting Kifaia -
haar nieuwe boek presenteren in Boekhandel Donner in Rotterdam:  'Habibi,
Habibi '   (vertaald: 'Liefje, Liefje')


 

Habibi, Habibi verhaalt van het alledaagse leven van gewone en minder gewone
mensen in de Gazastrook.
We maken kennis met de chauffeur Rommel - die voor de tweede keer trouwt
zonder het zijn eerste vrouw te vertellen; met Dalia - die opnieuw zwanger
is; met Ramadan - die alleen woont maar geen moment alleen is, en met de
Palestijnse intellectueel dr. Haider die treurt om een vermoorde joodse
vriend.


 

Aan de hand van dagboekfragmenten en foto's schetst Anja het leven in een
klein, overbevolkt en bezet land dat steeds verder wordt ingesloten door een
onneembare muur. En Anja zal over haar eigen ervaringen in Gaza vertellen.


 

Voor liefhebbers signeert zij het boek.


 

Ook zal Max Wieselmann spreken, als voorzitter van Een Ander Joods Geluid en
lid van het aanbevelingscomité van Stichting Kifaia.
De boekpresentatie is georganiseerd door COS Rijnmond & Midden Holland
(Centrum voor Internationale Samenwerking) in samenwerking met Boekhandel
Donner en uitgeverij Veen Magazines.


 

U bent van harte welkom !


 

Datum:     vrijdag 11 juni 2004
Locatie:    Boekhandel Donner, Lijnbaan 150, Rotterdam
Aanvang: 16.00 uur (inloop vanaf 15.30 uur)


 

Met vriendelijke groet,
Helma Kloosterman, vrijwillig medewerker van Stichting Kifaia.
