Roy claims Hamas to be "a far more pragmatic movement than its typical representation in the West." </p> <p>-----</p> <p>Dr. Sara Roy, a senior Middle Eastern studies research scholar at Harvard University, discusses the economic impact of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and argues that Israel's policies are aimed at keeping the territory impoverished and dependent. -- ABC FORA</p> <p>Sara Roy is a senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University where she completed her doctoral studies in international development. Trained as a political economist, Dr. Roy has worked in the Gaza Strip and West Bank since 1985 conducting research primarily on the economic, social and political development of the Gaza Strip and on U.S. foreign aid to the region. Dr. Roy has written extensively on the Palestinian economy, particularly in Gaza, and has documented its development over the last three decades. Her current research, which was funded by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, examines the social and economic sectors of the Palestinian Islamic movement and their relationship to Islamic political institutions, and the critical changes to the Islamic movement that have occurred over the last decade. Her primary findings point to a restructuring and de-radicalisation of the Islamist movement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip prior to the start of the second Palestinian uprising.</p> </div> <a

has been hypnotised into forgetting about the real social and political issues. Instead, the whole of society and, most tragically, the social movements have been entranced by a fight between two factions of the Thai ruling class. On one side are Thai Rak Thai, Thaksin, the Peoples Power Party and the Government; on the opposing side are a loose collection of authoritarian royalists, comprising the PAD, the pro-coup royalist military, the pro-coup judiciary and the Democrat Party. The authoritarian royalists are not a unified body. They only share a collective interest in wiping out Thaksins party. The two sides are mirror images of each other."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/63723-crisis-in-thailand">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/63674-sadrists-protest-us-iraq-security-pact 2008-12-13T10:52:21Z The Real News <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6V897aleMos&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6V897aleMos&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/63674-sadrists-protest-us-iraq-security-pact"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/79982" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Adam Asher: There is concern whether al-Sadr will call off his ceasefire if the pact passes parliament</p> </div> <a href="/blog/63674-sadrists-protest-us-iraq-security-pact">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62804-be-careful-what-you-wish-for 2008-12-06T10:56:45Z mpal <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FxB5zISt84U&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FxB5zISt84U&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62804-be-careful-what-you-wish-for"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/78505" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>More at <a href="http://therealnews.com/t/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=100">therealnews.com</a> <br />Sabah al-Nasseri: Will Iraq's 'democracy' reject US plan? pt2/4</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62804-be-careful-what-you-wish-for">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62605-un-mandate-for-us-troops-in-iraq-running-out 2008-12-04T12:59:48Z mpal <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6IOeErNQWyU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6IOeErNQWyU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62605-un-mandate-for-us-troops-in-iraq-running-out"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/78176" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>More at <a href="http://therealnews.com/t/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=100">therealnews.com</a> </p> <p>Sabah al-Nasseri: Iraqi Parliament expected to turn down US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62605-un-mandate-for-us-troops-in-iraq-running-out">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/57998-abortion-rights-extending-rights-to-northern-ireland-women 2008-12-09T04:19:05Z adycousins <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GTzlt1HPuLE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GTzlt1HPuLE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/57998-abortion-rights-extending-rights-to-northern-ireland-women"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/70859" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.abortionrights.org.uk/ <br />Interviews with activists from Northern Ireland lobbying MPs to extend human rights to women there. <br />Interviews by Katya Nasim. <br />-----------------------------------------</p> <p>Protest - 21st October outside Parliament <br />5.30pm onwards, Old Palace Yard, outside Parliament, St Stephen's entrance <br />For a womans right to choose</p> <p>Make the strength of pro-choice opinion felt ahead of the final crucial abortion votes in Parliament.

When they divorced two years later she became known as Her Royal Highness Princess Dina Abdul-Hamid of Jordan. Queen Dina eventually fell in love with the King's enemy - a Palestinian guerilla leader - which resulted in thousands of people dying when the King declared war against the Palestinians in what is now referred to as Black September. Queen Dina is also remembered for secretly arranging one of the largest prisoner exchanges ever.</p> <p>Toujan al-Faisal was accused of apostasy and there were calls for her execution when she stood up to religious fundamentalism in Jordan. The court eventually dismissed her case and she was elected to Parliament in 1993 where she served until 1997. During their time together Toujan explained how Deborah could help Jordanians:</p> <p>"People in the Middle East are either born as an oppressor or they were born to be oppressed. The only way to make change was to embarrass her country and its laws. The only way to change our laws is through retention from outsiders. Now that they know outsiders are watching Jordan wants to appear progressive.
