The exclusion of Palestinian voices
Lost in Jerusalem
An exploration of the deserted Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb in western Jerusalem that only one hundred years ago welcomed worshippers to the shrine of a companion of Prophet Muhammad.The significance of the site, its history, including its desecration in 1929, and its current lack of protection are highlighted.The essay is part of the authors' ongoing book project of lost or forgotten memorials, monuments, and places in historic Palestine
From Jerusalem to the Rest of the West Bank
Since 1967, despite international legal restrictions, Israel has sought to annex Eastern Jerusalem. Fifty-one years later, it publicly declared in its Nation State Law: “Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel.” In the West Bank, Israel initiated on the ground changes that furthered annexation without formally declaring any part of it as annexed. For decades, Al-Haq has documented the gradual encroachment of occupation by success…
Without Vision We Can Never Get Anywhere
From the window of my study where I'm sitting to write this I can see my garden with its 350-year-old olive trees. They were growing on the land when we bought it to build the house and had to be t
Internal and External Borders
Raja Shehadeh’s writing explores the fragile existence of Palestinians living in exile, under occupation, in a land that has been transformed, not just by the Israeli “security” wall, but also by the influx of Israeli settlers on Palestinian land in the West Bank. His work meets on the boundaries between memoir, personal essay, political essay, and poetry
In PursuIt of My Ottoman Uncle
In April 2011, Raja Shehadeh visited the United States to promote the U.S. edition of his new book, A Rift in Time: Travels with my Ottoman Uncle (OR Books, 2011). JPS heard several of his presentations, during which he read passages from his book and reflected on its genesis, major themes, and how writing it changed his thinking about the future of the region. In response to our request, he agreed to allow us to compile the typed notes for his v…
Two Walks
In the summer of 2008 novelist Marina Lewycka and author and human rights lawyer Raja Shehadeh went on two walks: the first in Palestine near Ramallah near the Beit Eil Jewish settlement, the second on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, the site of the mass trespass in 1932 to reclaim the right to walk on the hills. This account of the conversation they recorded on the second walk includes observations by Marina on writing about Palestine and Isr…

Human Rights and the Israeli Occupation
Courting Conflict
Palestinian Theatre
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House is a personal memoir in which the primary conflict is between father and son. Nevertheless, it's suffused with the tumultuous politics of the Middle East and the Palestinian issue forms much of the fabric of the author's relationships. This contributes to the multiple meanings of the title, which echoes the author's feelings about his family as well as the situation in Palestine in general

Occupier's Law and the Uprising
Twenty-one years have passed since Israel's occupation of West Bank and Gaza Strip. During that time, it has become clear that Israel's actions in territories have been aimed at changing status quo so as to make permanent acquisition of areas seized in 1967. East Jerusalem and Golan Heights have been formally annexed, while West Bank and Gaza are being gradually absorbed. In violation of internationally accepted conventions, Israel has introduced…
