| Summary/Abstract |
We need leadership on both sides to put back on the agenda the two-state solution, which has been weakened by settlement activity, the U.S. administration's pro-Israel positions and efforts to "bribe" Arab and Gulf states, and Palestinians' internal division.

| Summary/Abstract |
Jerusalem
I first heard of Germany from my father when I was a boy in the early 1950’s. We were then a refugee family as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, having left our family home in the West Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Qattamon to move to a Franciscan-owned property in the Old City along with some other Christian families who had fled for their lives. As a child, I did not grasp the full significance of the Nuremberg trials from the few references my father made to them. What I always did recall vividly was that my father was always visibly disturbed when he mentioned Germany and the Germans. He would have a serious look in his face, and on a few occasions I heard him murmuring vague accusations with regard to the predicament in which our family and our people found themselves. It was only years later, in high school, that I began to understand my father. Somehow the Nuremberg trials had agitated him and stirred up feelings of anger toward the Americans and the British who, as the victors in World War II, were deemed by him and others of his generation to be responsible for the disaster that befell the Palestinian people in 1948. To my father and others like him, the Allies were not only in charge of conducting the trials but, in a more personal way, were also seen as “out to get” people like him, possibly due to a conscious or unconscious wish to have seen a different outcome in World War II.

| Summary/Abstract |
To face our political, social, cultural and economic challenges, Palestinians of all religions must reaffirm the best of our past and present, celebrate our humanity and overcome the prejudices that come with narrow identities.
