[ePalestine] MEDIUM: Hyphen-ated for Life (By Sam Bahour)

As the U.S. 2020 Census results are being released today, here are my reflections, which I also submitted to The Medium Writers Challenge on the topic of "Space".

Hyphen-ated for Life

"Democratic representation of 'We The People' requires an accurate ascertainment of who 'We The People' are." ~Arab American Institute

By Sam Bahour

The space of identity is tight. A single identity can hardly fit into its place, yet that is what society expects. The reality of identity is much more dynamic and colorful than dry categories of some census-defined race or ethnicity.

[ePalestine] تخرجت من الجامعة (بقلم: سام بحور)

تخرجت من الجامعة؟ تهانينا، بس شو يعني!

 

نقص مقلق في المعرفة لدى الخريجين الجدد! 

 

بقلم: سام بحور

 

أجلس هنا أهز رأسي محبطًا مرة أخرى، بعد أن قرأت مجموعة من السير الذاتية لخريجين جدد. بدأ هذا الإحباط منذ زمن بعيد عندما عدت من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية إلى فلسطين للمساعدة في تأسيس شركة الاتصالات الفلسطينية في منتصف التسعينات. حينها، وجدنا بأنفسنا أعذاراً لعدد كبير من المتقدمين في ذلك الوقت، حيث كانت الشركات تؤسس بسرعة، نظراً لأن القطاع الخاص بأكمله كان يتحول من نمط التشغيل التقليدي إلى نمط تشغيل حديث. كان من المتوقع أن يجد الخريجون الجدد مع مرور الوقت حلولاً لنقاط ضعفهم الواضحة، خاصةً في ظل سعي الجامعات لتطوير طرق وبرامج جديدة معدة لتأهيل الخريجين الجدد، ناهيك عن مستوى الوعي الذي يفترض أن يكون الخريج نفسه قد حققه من خلال متابعة مستجدات سوق العمل والتعلم الذاتي. وإن قامت الجامعات بتطوير مهارات البحث عن عمل من خلال هذه البرامج فلم نلمس أثر ذلك ولم يرتقي الخريجون إلى المستوى المطلوب، بالطبع ليس جميعهم، ولكن ما يكفي لأنكب على كتابة هذا المقال!

[ePalestine] NYT: Want Israeli-Palestinian Peace? Try Confederation (By Bernard Avishai and Sam Bahour)

New York Times (Feb. 12, 2021)

Want Israeli-Palestinian Peace? Try Confederation

Politicians and experts should not doubt a two-state solution. But they should finally consider a plausible version of it.

By Bernard Avishai and Sam Bahour

Mr. Avishai, an American-Israeli professor and writer for magazines, lives in Jerusalem. Mr. Bahour is an American-Palestinian who lives in Ramallah in the West Bank and is a management consultant. They have proposed a confederation to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for years.

or on Medium here.

A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 13, 2021, Section A, Page 23 of the New York edition with the headline: Want Israeli-Palestinian Peace?.
