Dr. Jamil Effarah and the "THINK PALESTINE" Series

Dr. Jamil Effarah tackles the struggle between Palestinians and Israelis in three volumes under the title “THINK PALESTINE” that exposes a series of articles addressing various issues regarding the complex struggle between Palestinians and Israelis, based on developing events that took place involving the U.S. Administrations and their policies of support for Israel in the conflicts among Palestinians, Arabs, and Israelis.

This Volume III is intended for those students, teachers, politicians, executives, policy makers, and others who are interested or involved in Middle East affairs. He interprets these events and policies as reflected by the last six years (2013-2018).

Dr. Effarah started writing in 1952 while a student at the American University of Beirut (AUB). As an Arab-American independent thinker, he judges events according to their merits while acting as a participant observer to the one-sided American policy toward the Middle East that serves the interests of Israel. He records and highlights the facts in an attempt to find the key to unlock the Palestinian, Arab, and Israeli conflicts.

His personal feelings, as a survivor of the Palestinian holocaust of 1948, influence his interpretations of the proceedings, which represent a major part of the events that took place in that period.

To find solutions to the Palestinian dilemma is to be fair to think Palestine. To THINK PALESTINE is to understand how to find the real key to just solutions to the problems in that region.

Dr. Effarah attempts to create a voice for Arab Americans to stand up and be counted, acting as an integral part of American society. He advocates for more American-Arab participation in the political process, greater transparency, and efforts to reach the American hearts and minds by helping them understand Arab situations, culture, and heritage.

He also seeks to create a balanced Arab-American policy to reach Americans and convince them that there are special interest groups and influential lobbyists in Washington, D.C., who misinform the media and try to spin the story around while beholding to the fabricated Israeli points of view.

To counterbalance Zionist efforts, Arab-Americans should think Palestine and ask why American taxpayers give money outright to Israel—more than $8.5 million per day according to the CIA Factbook in 2012. This amount was upgraded to $8.9 million per day with the Trump administration providing $3.3 billion in 2019.
