A traveler is unable to let go of his baggage in the surreal airport of life.
• The Monologist Suffers Her Monologue by Yussef El Guindi

Her name is Tamam. It means ‘enough'.

Israel's negotiating strategy and its continued creation of facts on the ground has caused some Palestinians to doubt the probability of a two-state solution. While the official Palestinian strategic goal is a two-state solution, some Palestinians argue that a bi-national state, a single state, for Israelis and Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza has become the only sustainable solution.
For Israelis, that would spell the end of the Jewish ethnic state. And among a public where demographics has become a central issue, an apartheid state framed as a two-state solution is the only way to secure the Zionist dream.
This briefing is free and open to the public. A light lunch will be served to registered guests at 12:00 p.m. The briefing and question/answer period will be from 12:30-2:00 p.m. Registration is required. Unregistered guests will not be admitted. To register, send the name of the event, your name, affiliation and contact information to rsvp@palestinecenter.org or call (202) 338-1958 ext.11 by 12 noon on Wednesday, 17 September 2008.
The Palestine Center is an independent think-tank committed to communicating reliable and objective information about the Palestinian political experience to American policy makers, journalists, students and the general public. Established in 1991, it is the educational program of the Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development.
