“No one wants to take these people back. But we don’t get to just park in a twilight zone 50,000 or 65,000 people who have beliefs that we don’t like,” Thanassis Cambanis on ISIS and other detainees at Al-Hol to Shirin Jaafari at The World

40,000 people languish in Al-Hol's Twilight Zone, Guantanamo Bay on an epic scale.

You bet the US will scream once there's a meltdown or ISIS revival.

But now, when the problem could be solved? Nothing.

'Reluctantly, I've come to the conclusion — and this is from the policies and also from the ways in which senior administration officials talk about it even in private — they don't see Palestinian lives as of equal value,' says Thanassis Cambanis on Intercepted:

Lisa Anderson reviews Dahlia Scheindlin book Foreign Affairs: 'enormously valuable resource for understanding the Israeli reactions to the attack, as well as the challenges the country will still face when the guns fall silent.'

The two-state solution doesn’t have a future, writes Muhannad Ayyash for Century International. Instead, US policymakers should focus on bringing equal rights, justice, and freedom for Palestinians living in the de facto one-state reality.tcf.org/content/commen…

A legitimate political process is crucial for ending the conflict between Israel and Palestine. But that’s not possible without Palestinian elections, says Century International contributor Moien Odeh tcf.org/content/commen…

Palestinian elections will be hard to organize in a time of war.

But only legitimate, elected Palestinian leadership can negotiate an end to the conflict.

Israel's all-out assault in Gaza is destroying its environmental resources, which may take generations to recover. Environmental degradation in Palestine will inevitably make its way to Israel, writes Zeinab F. Shuker for Century International. tcf.org/content/commen…

Under Cover of War in Gaza, Assault on West Bank Intensifies: Palestinian Journalist Dalia Hatuqa bit.ly/3xL5050

The #US is guilty of overlooking the strategic relationship they should be nurturing with #Iraq , instead they look at Iraq as a subsidiary of their conflict with #Iran , Director of Century International, Thanassis Cambanis said at #SuliForum24

Israel wants to distract the world from occupation and campaign to foreclose statehood or equality for Palestinians.

The Iran-Israel conflagration has hijacked policy and news attention.

But Palestinians and Palestine cannot be ignored again, like before Oct. 7.

As the Gaza war grinds on, and famine nears, re-upping this from Thanassis Cambanis and me.

The U.S. has failed both morally, and by the amoral metric of 'victory'. If it is to sustain its global standing, the war should force a rethink of U.S. foreign policy.

Century International fellow Sam Heller | سام هيلر argues that it's too late for the United States to try to moderate Israeli tactics in Gaza. It needs to stop this war—and then rethink its whole relationship with Israel. tcf.org/content/commen…

While Israel lays waste to Gaza, it is violently squeezing the West Bank.

US policy could stop the outrages on the West Bank that are making a Palestinian state ever more unlikely.
