Challenge - issue 100

Challenge, a magazine covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and run by the Workers' Advice Centre, WAC, which is supported by WACC, has just published its one hundreth issue.

In this issue:

In January 1990, at the height of the first Intifada, a group of left-wing activists saw that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict might at last be possible. They decided to publish a magazine directed at the international community, urging it to help bring about a resolution. That was sixteen years and ninety-nine Challenges ago. As we publish our hundredth issue, despite America's self-entrapment in Iraq and the consequent regional paralysis, our editorial asserts that the Conflict Cannot Wait.

Among those who cannot wait are Working-class Heroes of the Occupied Territories who, in quest of jobs, risk their lives each Sunday circumventing Israeli checkpoints. Encounter at Hawara tells the stories of three. Challenge has always devoted much space to a neglected population, the Arabs in Israel.
