Finding Goodness
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Jun 2017

• Axis 1- Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Egypt, Israel, USA
• Axis 2- Qatar, Turkey
• Axis 3- Syria, Iran, Russia, and possibly China (for now keeping a distance)
Axis 1 now decided to go after axis 2. Axis 2 is considering moving for protection to axis 3. The US is solidly behind axis 1 but keeping leverage via axis 2 (US bases both in Turkey and Qatar). The US is trying hard to undermine axis 3.

ConSciences of Humanity
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Jan 2017

John Kerry is delusional if he thinks he can temporarily curb the appetite of those who believe in an ideology of conquest, subjugation and exceptionalism (“chosen people”) to save “Zionism”. His claim that Shimon Peres told him that 78% of Palestine is enough and that they should let the Palestinians have the other 22% is simply not believable.

Eight Years
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 22 Aug 2016

16 Aug 2016 – It has been 8 years since I moved back from the USA to occupied Palestine and it may be worth a brief reflection… All of this was done while struggling against not just Israeli occupation with its repression (e.g. inability to import things normally, lack of freedom of movement) but some Palestinian societal backward culture including nepotism, patriarchy, bureaucracy, and corruption. We were learning as we go how to deal with people (including the “mental occupation”).

Binarity
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 Jul 2016

Edward Said once told us we do not have to choose between a secular corrupt dictatorship and rule by Muslim Brotherhood. I do not have to support Zionism to be for Jewish rights.

It is time we exercise them.

Ups and Downs in Palestine
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 18 Jul 2016

16 Jul 2016 – Life in Palestine moves along with its ups and downs, like the tides of the sea. Some days we feel depressed, some days more optimistic. Some of us even feel like manic-depressives for the fact that we go through these cycles. The triggers are varied.

Motivation
Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh | Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Jun 2016

We in Palestine do not have too many answers since most of our people are still at that subsistence level. It is irritating to see the elites (including Palestinian and Israelis) who have their basic needs met refuse to rise to higher levels and get motivated to do something different to make this a better world. At least they should/could follow Howard Zinn’s advice and get off the train (His book “you can’t be neutral on a moving train”).

Thanksgiving: A National Day of Mourning for Indians
Mahtowin Munro and Moonanum James, Popular Resistance – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Dec 2013

We object to the “Pilgrim Progress” parade and to what goes on in Plymouth because they are making millions of tourist dollars every year from the false pilgrim mythology. That money is being made off the backs of our slaughtered indigenous ancestors.
