 Amira Hass: Life under Israeli occupation, Robert Fisk
Hass dropped out of the Hebrew University where she was researching the history of the Nazis and the attitude of the European left to the Holocaust.
When the Romanian revolution broke out, Hass pleaded to be sent to cover the story – she had many contacts from a visit to Bucharest in 1977 – and much to her surprise, Ha'aretz agreed, even though she'd been with the paper only three months.
From the start, Hass recalls, there was "something very warm about the Palestinian attitude – there was a lot of humour in these harsh conditions." When I suggest that this might be something she had recognised in Jews, Hass immediately agrees.

Amira Hass is probably the most committed journalist in Israel, for better or worse.
It would be easy to dismiss Hass if she had a cozy relationship with the Palestinian Authority.
Her articles are not possessed with the tone of calm evenhandedness that American readers are accustomed to; her work (available at www.zmag.org/meastwatch/amira_hass.htm) is scathing, judgmental and accusatory.

 Drinking the Sea at Gaza : Days and Nights in a Land Under Siege - Amira Hass, Maxine Nunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Hass is an Israeli, a Jew, a woman and an atheist who, uniquely in Israel, has chosen to live among the Palestinian people she writes about.
Hass gives voice, humanity and a history to a people who live wretchedly on the doorstep of the homes and the lands from which they were expelled barely fifty years ago; who must now accept that neither their own leadership nor the world at large any longer insists on their right of return.
It helps that Hass is an Israeli citizen and that she is the child of Holocaust survivors--that helps to understand her empathy with suffering.

When the Romanian revolution broke out, Hass pleaded to be sent to cover the story - she had many contacts from a visit to Bucharest in 1977 - and much to her surprise, Ha'aretz agreed, even though she'd been with the paper only three months.
And luckily, this combined in me with journalism." Hass is possessed of the idea that change can come only through social movements and their interaction with the press - an odd notion that seems a little illogical.
As her mother lay dying this spring, Amira feared that she would be trapped by the Israeli siege of Ramallah - where she now lives - and spent hours commuting the few miles to Jerusalem.

 [Amira Hass provides a helpful reality check, reminding us of
While Israeli spokesmen talk about closure being lifted, the truth is that all Palestinians in the territories have been under closure for over a decade, with severely curtailed freedom of movement.
Most deceptive of all is Sharon's stated goal of ceding control to the Palestinians; Hass explains that this basically amounts to having Palestinians enforce the terms of their own occupation.
Hass' explanation is particularly timely now, given Sharon's recent demand that the PA disarm Hamas as a condition for renewed peace talks.

 Drinking the Sea at Gaza -- Days and Nights in a Land under Seige -- Amira Hass Maxine Nunn Elana Wesley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In 1993, Amira Hass, an Israeli woman reporter, drove to Gaza to cover a story - and stayed for four years.
Hass was the first journalist to live in the grim Palestinian enclave, so feared and despised by many Israelis that in the local idiom, "Go to Gaza" is another way to say "Go to hell." Drinking the Sea at Gaza maps the zones of ordinary Palestinian life.
But even as Hass charts the griefs and humiliations of the Palestinians, she offers a remarkable portrait of a people not brutalized but eloquent, spiritually resilient, bleakly funny, and morally courageous.
