Peacemakers or peace industry?

. Something radically different by Yossi Alpher
With respect, we don't belong to any forums of Israeli and Palestinian peace
organizations.

. No compensation for substance by Ghassan Khatib
Peace organizations were only ever meant to be supporting actors to the
headlinecast.

. The "peace merchants" have disappeared by Ron Pundak
It is this seam between the two publics that the peace organizations
inhabit.

. More fraud than friend by Akram Baker
The West bought out the secular, leftist organizations by creating a
parallel PA, the NGO world.
