1. I have added an informal biography of Jibril Rajoub to my slowly/glacially-growing database of Palestinian biographies. Rajoub is the National Security Advisor to Yasser Arafat, and often suggested as his possible successor. He has little popular support in the Occupied Territories, but as he is a long-time protege of the CIA and has the support of up to 20,000 armed loyalists in the West Bank Preventative Security Service (which he used to head), he might not feel he needs it. Access Rajoub's biography here (best viewed at 800 x 600), or via the Palestinian Biographies link in the sidebar (left). I have also updated the existing biography entry for Saeb Erekat.

2. I have added a sidebar link (under I/P Resources) to one-state.org, a London-based web campaign for a one-state solution in Israel/Palestine. The website contains an archive of articles, mostly from the last six or seven years, but with a few dating back as far as 1930. It is a very useful resource to have so many documents available on one site, especially as the archive also lists articles from an opposite viewpoint, favouring the two-state solution.

Disclaimer: The archive links to several Lawrence of Cyberia postings about the binational state. (Blush). I am in exalted company.
