The Sydney Peace Council of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney has awarded the 2003 Sydney Peace Prize to prominent Palestinian Dr Hanan Ashrawi. Yet Jewish community leaders have openly voiced their extreme opposition to the announcement. Jeremy Jones, President of the Australian Council for Executive Jewry was quoted in The Sydney Morning Herald as saying that the Council had been “blinded by celebrity”, that Ashrawi was nothing but an “old-style propagandist” and awarding her with the honour reflected badly on the prize. Rawan Abdul-Nabi reflects on the latest attempt by the pro-Zionist lobby to intimidate and bully into silence any positive recognition for Palestinian achievements.

How can a tiny Palestinian organization like Islamic Jihad produce so many walking bombs, suicide bombers who choose babies in strollers and their grandparents as targets? And how does an organization that once declared it would only target soldiers send its latest suicide bomber to a mixed Jewish-Arab city, to sow death and sorrow in a restaurant whose owners, workers and customers are Jews and Arabs, old and young.
