Subject: BADIL: Al-Majdal Quarterly (Summer 2007)

BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights
30 July 2007 (E/15/07)

Available now:

al-majdal, BADIL English-language quarterly, issue no. 34 (Summer 2007)

“40/60 Call to Action
40 Years of Occupation of the OPT, 60 Years of Nakba”


Bethlehem, July 2007: BADIL Resource Center announces the release of the
Summer 2007 issue of al-majdal English-language quarterly magazine, which
focuses on the 40/60 Call to Action. The 40/60 Call to Action is an appeal
from displaced Palestinians to global civil society to address the root
causes of 60 years of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people and
to join the effort for a new principled vision and struggle.

Commentary and analysis in this issue focuses on recent political developments
and the consequences of these developments for the Palestinian political
system shaped by the Oslo accords. In particular, writers examine the basis
for the failure of the National Unity Government and the events following the
downfall of that administration.

The latest issue of al-majdal pays particular attention to the Nakba, with
writers arguing that it has become a powerful symbol of the continued plight
of the Palestinain people, representing, as it does, the quest for justice,
redress, and the right of return.  To this end, reports of the popular
commemoration in the OPT of this year's 59th anniversary of the Nakba, a
potrayal of refugees in the media and various personal recollections of the
Nakba that highlight the historical significance of this event and its place
in Palestinian consciousness are featured.

Elsewhere, other writers examine the Nakba as an ongoing event. Here, reports
and analysis of the recent armed conflict in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp
in Lebanon, the continued suffering of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and
Iraq, and an account of the efforts of the Palestinian villagers of Artas
(Bethlehem) to resist the illegal confiscation of their land, underline the
continued vulnerability and hardship faced by displaced Palestinians.

The 40/60 Call to Action issue also represents a call for expanding the global
Campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it
complies with international law. An update of recent developments in the
global BDS Campaign is included in the documents section.

A PDF version of al-majdal is available at:

Annual subscriptions are available online (www.badil.org) or from
admin@badil.org for Euro 25 (for four issues).
