Mainstream columnists’ justification of Israeli violence against Palestinian protesters sounds a lot like condemnations of black civil rights activists five decades ago.
In 1974, Emile Habibi published The Pessoptimist, an irreverent novel that interpreted the Nakba as a tragicomic fable. Fifty years later, it still speaks to the dilemma facing Palestinians fighting to pull liberation from the jaws of defeat.

The growing calls for Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race could offer hope for Gaza.
