• Al-Wahdat... Sound Feminine Plural for Unity / The Dust of Our Shoes is a Patriotism Upon Which Wasfi and His Gang Commit Suicide
  A fiercely anti-Hashemite opinion piece by Jamil Hamad published in Al-Basheer, written in response to reports that Jordanian Prime Minister Wasfi al-Tal had prepared a list of West Bank Palestinian figures targeted for arrest. Hamad violently condemns the Jordanian government's rhetoric surrounding "Arab unity," arguing that the regime has operated as an inherently separatist force throughout its history, explicitly citing its purging of Palestinians from the army, its suppression of pan-Arab movements, and its devastating military assault on the Al-Wahdat refugee camp. The article mocks the Jordanian state's delusion that it maintains popular support in the West Bank, declaring that the dust on Palestinian shoes holds more patriotism than the entirety of al-Tal's government.

• Amman Television?!
  A satirical opinion piece by Ahmad al-Sayyid mocking the political propaganda broadcast by the Jordanian state television network. Using the fictional anecdote of a healthy man named "Abu Saadallah" who suffers from severe high blood pressure exclusively in the evenings, the author's doctor diagnoses the cause as the man's nightly exposure to Amman Television. The article equates the Jordanian broadcasts—characterized by aggressive military parades, hysterical cheering, and show trials (described as "Mahdawi farces")—with a literal health hazard for West Bank Palestinians, advising citizens to avoid the channel to prevent heart attacks and extreme frustration.
• Amman... Why Does It Oppose?
  A political analysis by Dr. Yousef 'Abd al-Majid exploring the Jordanian government's fierce opposition to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The author deconstructs Amman's argument that a Palestinian state would be economically and militarily weak, countering that Jordan itself relies heavily on external aid and has historically failed to militarily deter Israeli incursions. The article concludes that the Jordanian regime's true fear is losing its status as the regional broker for the Palestinian cause, asserting that Amman desires "unity" only to maintain its dominance over Palestinians, not out of genuine pan-Arab solidarity.
• An Objective Look at the Israeli Position
  A newspaper opinion piece by Ibrahim Daibis, published in Al-Anba, offering an analytical breakdown of the Israeli political and territorial stance following the 1967 war, contrasted with broader Arab and Egyptian positions. The article details Israeli requirements for direct, unconditional negotiations and its refusal to return to pre-1967 borders or allow the repatriation of Palestinian refugees, citing Israeli security concerns and historical claims. The author critically evaluates the Arab rejectionist approach, arguing that it inadvertently serves Israeli strategic interests, and highlights specific territorial sticking points—including the annexation of Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and Sharm el-Sheikh—that severely complicate Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's diplomatic and military options.
• An Open Dialogue with the Jewish People: Israel and the Palestinian People / Human Microbes
  A newspaper page featuring two opinion columns. The primary article, "An Open Dialogue with the Jewish People" by Ahmad Ajwa, criticizes Israel's failure to cultivate genuine understanding with the Palestinian people in the occupied territories following the 1967 war. Ajwa argues that Israel must prioritize recognizing Palestinian national rights and granting them agency over their own land, rather than negotiating their fate solely with Arab states or relying on military borders for security. The second, shorter piece by Antoine Sirwah, titled "Human Microbes," is a satirical anecdote about a miserable prison clerk named "Abu Ali" whose petty tyranny over his educated staff serves as an allegory for bureaucratic oppression.
