  The ALP: Born Again Zionists?!
  No ordinary concert
Last week the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the musical group set up by Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said, played at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Tania Tamari Nasir tells the story of two powerful experiences in Jerusalem and Birzeit, the backdrop to this unique project where Arab and Israeli musicians play together, transcending conflict and war, extending a hand for peace
 
  Root and branch
The current fragmentation of the Arab world, the lack of effective coordination among the Arab parties directly concerned with the negotiating process, the US-British occupation of Iraq, venomous talk of the futility of the Arab League -- such factors have combined to create the ideal climate for the Israeli right to fulfil its vision with regards to Palestine and the Middle East. Ibrahim Nafie explores the history of Israeli hostility to the peaceful resolution of conflict.

It wouldn't be a surprise if quite a few in the ALP are suffering a bit of whiplash - not because of a major about turn in policy, but certainly an about turn in permitting some of its backbenchers to raise the level if intelligent parliamentary debate on the issue of the Palestine-Israeli conflict. Sari Kassis responds to the Simon Crean policy of cliché over substance on this mis-managed conflict.
 
   
 
  The empty square
 
  Gideon Levy / Ha'aretz
Are there not at least 100,000 Israelis who are shocked by what Israel is doing to the Palestinians these days? Isn't there at least a tiny minority of a few tens of thousands who are losing sleep over the targeted assassinations? Or over the separation wall that is tearing Palestinians from their land? Gideon Levy continues to ask the questions.
