Book Synopsis The Re-Emergence of the Single State Solution in Palestine/Israel by : Cherine Hussein
Download or read book The Re-Emergence of the Single State Solution in Palestine/Israel written by Cherine Hussein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the first in-depth intellectual and organizational mapping of the single state idea’s recent resurgence in Palestine/Israel, this book enquires into its nature as a phenomenon of resistance, as well as into its potential as a counterhegemonic force in the making against the processes of Zionism. Reconstructing this moment of re-emergence through primary material and interviews with diverse influential intellectuals—its analysis highlights their self-understandings, worldviews, strategies and perceptions of the phenomenon in which they are involved, while questioning whether the single state idea has the potential to become a Gramscian inspired movement of resistance against Zionism. In presenting this rare insight into a resistance movement in the making, this book resurrects an empowering image of Antonio Gramsci infused with the writings of Edward Said. This it does in an effort to both problematize the dominant interpretations of Gramsci’s writings in International Relations, and to decolonise the abstract way in which resistance and counter hegemony are often studied in the discipline. Contributing a mapping of a silenced alternative and hopeful way forward in the context of escalating violence, this book is essential reading for those studying the Arab-Israeli conflict, Middle East Politics and International Relations.
Book Synopsis Israel Or Palestine? Is the Two-state Solution Already Dead? by : Hasan Afif El-Hasan
Download or read book Israel Or Palestine? Is the Two-state Solution Already Dead? written by Hasan Afif El-Hasan and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a Palestinian with intimate knowledge of the political and physical landscape of the region, at its basic level the book advocates for a just peace based on the human rights and international law, a peace which all parties to the century-old conflict need. In this history of Palestine, the author shows that both sides of the conflict as well as the international community share the blame for the failure to bring the issue to a just conclusion. Most of the responsibility, he says, lies at the door of the Palestinian leaders themselves, who seem to suffer from institutionalized incompetence in dealing with the Israelis; and the Israelis are to be blamed for their refusal to transform their colonial enterprise into reconciliation politics by acknowledging the claims of the indigenous Palestinian people. At the same time, there is every sign that this impasse was deliberately created at the outset by the international community, led by Great Britain, in the endless game of "divide and rule." Unlike many optimistic writers who expect US President Barack Obama and his administration to find a just solution to the conflict, the author concludes that the Obama Administration would have to reverse the traditional US policy in the Middle East entirely if it is to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Delving into the historical background behind all the parties to the issue, the book provides much-needed background for understanding news events today and basic information that even human rights activists and peace organizations may not have fully appreciated. Throughout, the author seeks to transcend his ethnicity and deal fairly with the positions of people holding different worldviews.

Book Synopsis Countering an Illusion of Our Epoch by : Cherine Hussein
Download or read book Countering an Illusion of Our Epoch written by Cherine Hussein and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Oslo Accords, the two-state solution has dominated, and frustrated, the official search for peace in Israel/Palestine. In parallel to it, an alternative struggle of resistance -- centered upon the single state idea as a more liberating pathway towards justice to the conflict -- has re-emerged against the hegemony of Zionism and the demise of a viable two-state solution in Israel/Palestine. This thesis inquires into the nature of this phenomenon as a movement of resistance and investigates its potential to become a counterhegemonic force against the processes of Zionism as embedded within the peace process since Oslo. To this end, it reconstructs the re-emergence of the single state solution both intellectually and organizationally. This reconstructive analysis is undertaken in two interlinked ways. On the one hand, this thesis analyzes and evaluates the single state alternative from within its own self-understandings, strategies and maps to power. In doing so, it centers the political practices of the situated resistances of the oppressed themselves. On the other hand, it mobilises a classical Gramscian theoretical approach--one that re-centers the processes of counterhegemony, and Gramsci's radical embrace of the transformative power of the human being--through the writings of Edward Said. This theoretical lens enables the analysis of the counterhegemonic potential of this alternative through an evaluation of the extent to which it meets the more stringent demands of becoming a Gramscian-Saidian counterhegemonic force of liberation. Hence, this thesis represents both an empirical contribution to knowledge, and a theoretically informed analysis of the nature of the single state alternative. The thesis finds that the single state alternative can be seen as a Gramscian-Saidian movement of critical pedagogy aimed at creating a reconstructive moment within the conflict. It argues that it has laid much of the groundwork required to become an expansive counterhegemonic force. However, this potential has yet to be seized through a unified, officially led vehicle openly endorsing a single state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--and has several obstacles left to overcome in its process of becoming an established political force.
Book Synopsis A Palestinian State by : Mark Heller
Download or read book A Palestinian State written by Mark Heller and published by Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of the West Bank and Gaza remains the single most crucial issue in the search for peace in the Middle East. Examining the entire range of possible outcomes, Mark Heller of the Center for Strategic Studies, Tel-Aviv University, argues that an independent Palestinian state in those territories, even one dominated by the PLO, could, under certain stringent conditions, be the preferred option for Israel. In the first comprehensive treatment of the political, social, economic, and military factors bearing on the disposition of the West Bank and Gaza, Mark Heller sets forth the possible alternatives--annexation by Israel, perpetuation of the status quo, federal or communal arrangements, and territorial compromise within the framework of the Jordanian option--and evaluates their implications for Israeli security. Heller outlines the conditions under which he believes the establishment of a Palestinian state could be the optimal solution. He also discusses the economic prospects of a Palestinian state and the future of Jerusalem. His analysis is the boldest attempt yet to come to grips with the Palestinian question and the future of Israel. No one interested in the pursuit of a peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Arab conflict can afford to ignore this book.
Book Synopsis Palestine-Israel A Just Plan for Permanent Peace by : Jamshid Farshidi
Download or read book Palestine-Israel A Just Plan for Permanent Peace written by Jamshid Farshidi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction The basic obligations of a state towards its nation(s) are to provide Justice, control of powers - of organizations or individuals - peace, advancement of understanding - including science - and economy. Freedom, although essential, is secondary and a consequence of justice and control of powers. Since its creation in 1948, Israel under Zionism - Jewish Nationalism by reliance on international power(s) - has become a state of "abuse of powers, inherited from world powers", a "place of anti-humanity acts, against the humane formal principles that it was founded on", and a prophet of "transfer - forced migration - of the nations who helped its people to be transferred" in the region. In short, an inconsistency in the consistent humanity that arose from that region. There is a new enlightenment in the world, however, due to post era realities of the events: "end of the cold war", "fall of the Soviet Union", "Christian revolution in Poland", "Islamic revolution in Iran", "uprisings in Islamic world such as Intifada - uprising of Palestinians - and rise of Al-Qaeda", "defeat of Israel by Hesbollah in Lebanon" and "re-evaluation of South-American and African countries of their political and economical situations", on one hand, and "catastrophes of war in Iraq and the military assault on Gaza Strip" on the other hand. Based on this enlightenment, the people of the world adhere to: (i) Demand for maintaining the holy land - land of prophets - as a sacred region for all three great religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam that have deep historical roots in the region, by reliance on their practical objectives - which are peace and justice for mankind - and not on their subjective theological Ideas - due to interpretations which may be wrong, or unacceptable to the majority of the faithful - for unification of humanity, to promote peace and humanity justice around the world dominated by these three religions, on one hand, and to prevent disastrous events such as crusade wars or dominance by world powers such as Roman Empire, on the other hand; (ii) Remove the "threat to the world peace" and the "strategy of human transfer" in the Middle East, created by the dominant secular Zionist Ideology that exploits Judaism and Christianity under the unfounded theology of Dispensationalism of John Nelson Darby - devised before 1917 in Great Britain and presumed to be a basis for the Balfour declaration in 1917; (iii) Speak in a unified religious basis that the problem of Palestinian and Israelis can not be solved by ignoring the atrocities of Israeli government towards people of Palestine - by killing them purposefully as a result of strategy of transfer, looking at them inhumanely, and using the historic anti-humanity tactics of the king Herod (around 18 BCE) who killed and enslaved even Jews for the abuse of Roman Empire, against them - and instead obligate it to choose the humane tactics of Moses; And on the spectrum of power, require the United States - as a Christian Country - to choose between Roman Empire Ideas and the Jesus' Ideas of humanity in its foreign policies. The rights of Palestinians in all aspects should be realized as justice suggests, and not as the power imposes. It is time for the people of the world to re-negotiate the establishment of Israel, on the basis of the principles promised to the nations of the world in 1947 and 1948. In this re- negotiation, the major goal must be the creation of a political system in the present state of Israel that guarantees independence of nations, equal rights of all nations, peace and humanity justice between the nations, and ends the suffering of people of Palestine by abusive power of Zionists. This book - based on the beliefs of it's author in a humane and just way to resolve the conflict in the Middle East - suggests a bi-national Federal system for a state consisting of nations of Palestinians - Moslem or Christians - and Jews, under provision

Download or read book The War of Return written by Adi Schwartz and published by All Points Books. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two prominent Israeli liberals argue that for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to end with peace, Palestinians must come to terms with the fact that there will be no "right of return." In 1948, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli War. More than seventy years later, most of their houses are long gone, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees, with many living in refugee camps. This group—unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflicts—has remained unsettled, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a "right of return" is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region. In The War of Return, Adi Schwartz and Einat Wilf—both liberal Israelis supportive of a two-state solution—reveal the origins of the idea of a right of return, and explain how UNRWA - the very agency charged with finding a solution for the refugees - gave in to Palestinian, Arab and international political pressure to create a permanent “refugee” problem. They argue that this Palestinian demand for a “right of return” has no legal or moral basis and make an impassioned plea for the US, the UN, and the EU to recognize this fact, for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike. A runaway bestseller in Israel, the first English translation of The War of Return is certain to spark lively debate throughout America and abroad.

Book Synopsis Alternatives in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by : Daniel Egel
Download or read book Alternatives in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict written by Daniel Egel and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the two-state solution has dominated efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Growing doubts about the viability of the two-state solution raise the question of which, if any, possible alternatives could succeed, if appropriately supported by the international community. RAND researchers conducted 33 focus groups in the region to gather qualitative and quantitative data on the viability of five alternatives: the status quo, the two-state solution, a confederation, annexation, and a one-state solution. The focus groups, conducted in July 2018 and May 2019, collected detailed opinions of more than 270 individuals, including West Bank Palestinians, Gazan Palestinians, Israeli Jews, and Israeli Arabs. These data provide a novel means of investigating whether there are any areas of overlap between Palestinians and Israelis that might form the basis for renewed dialogue. None of the alternatives was acceptable to a majority of both Israelis and Palestinians. The two-state solution was the most politically viable alternative, although all four populations voiced skepticism toward it. The status quo was preferred by Israeli Jews but strongly disliked by Palestinians. West Bank Palestinians' preferred alternative was the two-state solution, while Gazans ranked a one-state solution slightly above the two-state solution. The data highlight the deep distrust and profound animosity of each side for the other. It is hard to imagine a departure from present trends and where they might lead unless and until strong, courageous leadership among Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community articulates a desire for a better future for all.
