	Hanan Ashrawi - which side of peace?
		The success of Hanan Ashrawi also owed something to the fact that she was not Yasser Arafat: in other words, that she was not a shadowy, khaki-clad, kfir-wearing former terrorist chieftain.
		Ashrawi implicitly accepted this verdict by forswearing her earlier distaste for politics and joining Arafat’s Cabinet as Minister for Higher Education, a post from which she subsequently resigned in August 1998.
		Ashrawi is at the coal face, and finds the job of criticising a peace process she is prevented from openly opposing more difficult.

		Ashrawi spoke of how US Middle East policy is subsumed by Israel’s perpetual state of self defense in which Sharon undermines the peace and lives above the law by creating facts on the ground as an unarmed population is held captive.
		Ashrawi spoke of a systematic regression, a state of siege on the economy where poverty is at 50-60%.

	A Voice of Reason: Hanan Ashrawi and Peace in the Middle East:Victor, Barbara:0151039682:eCampus.com
		Hanan Ashrawi has pulled off a momentous coup: changing the public image of the PLO from that of a terrorist organization to one of a government-in-exile poised for peaceful change and political responsibility.
		The daughter of a wealthy West Bank physician, Hanan had her first taste of political activism as a child living under Jordanian occupation, and later, as a professor of English at Bir Zeit University on the West Bank, she was involved in student uprisings, demonstrations, and confrontations with Israeli authorities.
		Based on fifteen months of interviews with Hanan Ashrawi, and other prominent Palestinians and Israelis, A Voice of Reason is an excellent, balanced introduction to the politics of a volatile region - and the moving story of how one remarkable woman made a difference in a world of seemingly irresolvable conflict.

		Hanan Ashrawi has been invited to speak at Colorado College in a symposium to honor the victims and the families of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
		Hanan Ashrawi was invited apparently, because many in the West often single her out as a moderate with whom Israel could make peace.
		In essence, what Ashrawi said is that if a suicide bombing, or even the 9-11 bombings, had been politically effective for a cause she believes in, she would have supported it.

	Al Jadid - Hanan Ashrawi - Book Review
		Ashrawi, along with other Palestinian intellectuals in the West Bank, began informal contacts with Israeli peace advocates as early as 1974 - contacts she claims paved for the way for the back channel meetings that resulted in the Oslo Accord.
		What makes it particularly compelling reading is Ashrawi's wonderful use of language - the product of her "special reverence for words" - and the skillful way in which she interweaves her own story, the story of the Palestinians and an account of the political process.
		Ashrawi clearly recognized this as she sat listening to Arafat's speech on the White House lawn, worrying that it was foreshadowing the "impending degradation of [their] language and vision.

	Hanan Ashrawi - Blaming Everyone But Herself
		Poor Ashrawi, she seems to have forgotten all that went on at Camp David, the Intifada, Madrid, Washington -- the later of which (not the Intifada) she was herself so involved with, thus implicating her personally in the disasters that have ensued.
		Ashrawi, an academic by training, is adored by many in the westernized Palestinian elite who themselves so self-servingly, and mistakenly, consider her an excellent representative of the Palestinian educated classes.
		Ashrawi really does love to have things both ways, trying to pay lip service to as many constituencies that might further invite her to this or that speaking event where she can continue to advocade her cheap and easy slogans of "peace and reconciliation".

		Apparently Ashrawi believed she was still in the Middle East, where the Palestinian Authority actively intimidates and censors journalists who dare to criticize it.

		This is not the first time Ashrawi has uttered statements wildly at variance with her image in the West as a peacemaker.
		According to Ashrawi, Hamas is a legitimate component of the Palestinian “political spectrum,” and she doesn’t “think of Hamas as a terrorist group.
