The American administration decided to punish Palestinians by preventing them from visiting the United States. But Israeli terrorist settlers are allowed to visit with visa waiver . It is very sad .

As a Palestinian, I condemn the horrific massacre in Bondi and the targeting of innocent people from the Jewish community at the start of Hanukkah. This is utterly abhorrent. I extend my deepest condolences to the Australian Jewish community and to all the victims and their

Yesterday, stones were thrown at my house from the nearby army post, and the soldiers assisted the settler in throwing them. Later, the same settler returned with soldiers and attempted to break into my home to search it, but I prevented him from entering.

It is both unfortunate and deeply embarrassing to attack him. His apology proves that those who defended @PeterBeinart were right all along. Peter has consistently been a true and unwavering supporter of the Palestinian people.

By speaking earlier this week at Tel Aviv University, I made a serious mistake. In the past, when formulating my views about Israel-Palestine, I’ve sought out Palestinian friends and interlocutors and listened carefully to their views. In this case, I did not. I really wanted
