In particular, we are focused on radical future visioning that challenges the status quo and points the way to different strategies to achieve Palestinian rights. We thank all our generous and dedicated supporters for enabling us to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network was launched in 2010.
