  • II. the Future of the Palestinian National Identity: the Relation Between the Returnees and the People of the Homeland Speakers: Mr
    26 June 1997 II. The Future of the Palestinian National Identity: The Relation Between the Returnees and the People of the Homeland Speakers: Mr. Mamdouh Nofal, Dr. Ali Jarbawi Participants: Dr. Salim Tamari, Dr. Rema Hamami, Ibrahim Mater, Hisham Mustapha, Dr. Mar’ei Abdul Rahman, Sheikh Jamil Hamami, Dr. Riyad Al-Malki, Walid Al-Assali, Walid Salim, Dr. Moussa Dweik, Diana Safieh, Mohammed Sami Jaber, Usama Halabi, Anis Al-Assali, Muriel Asseburg, and Dr. Mahdi Abdul Hadi. Mr. Mamdouh Nofal: Member of the PLO Central Council; Military Advisor to Chairman Arafat. Dr. Ali Jarbawi: Professor of Political Science, Birzeit University. SUMMARY Introduction Dr. Mahdi Abdul Hadi welcomed the participants to the second meeting on The Future of the Palestinian National Identity. After summarizing the main ideas of Rashid Khaldi’s recent study on the Palestinian identity, he noted that while some scholars claim that the Palestinian identity began to evolve in the early 50’s, others insist on referring in this regard to the roots of the Arab National Movement and the early days of the Arab awakening, which occurred during the period of Ottoman rule. He added that the former group support their position by saying that during the early 50’s, the Arab countries in the region respected the decision of the Political Committee of the Arab League to maintain the Palestinian identity and therefore, with the exception of Jordan, did not grant citizenship to Palestinians. Dr. Mahdi Abdul Hadi referred to the previous roundtable meeting on the same issue by saying that the spirit of the aforementioned meeting had been dominated by self-critique and by the exposure of the psychological, cultural, and geographical gap between the West Bank and Gaza.

  • Palestinians in Kuwait
    ‘The People Are Missing’: Palestinians in Kuwait Mai Al-Nakib Kuwait University Abstract This paper explores the effects of the Iraqi invasion on the Palestinian community in Kuwait. Specifically, it considers Gilles Deleuze’s notion of the ‘missing people’ in relation both to the Palestinians deported after the 1991 Gulf War and to the majority of Kuwaitis who have not acknowledged the effects of this disappearance on either the Palestinians or themselves. The first section revisits the circumstances surrounding the deportation of approximately 380,000 Palestinians from Kuwait, while the second considers what was lost as a result. The final section proposes an ‘ethics of the missing’ as a possible means to engage and transform some of the ensuing problems. Keywords: Deleuze, Palestinians, Kuwait, ethics, missing people, virtual, becoming 1991 is the year the Palestinian community in Kuwait went missing. Of the 380,000–400,000 Palestinians that lived and worked in Kuwait before the Iraqi invasion, only about 70,000 remained by the end of the year (Lesch 2005: 172). The consequences of the Gulf War on Palestinians deported from Kuwait to Jordan, Gaza and the West Bank are ongoing (Le Troquer and al-Oudat 1999). While the economic and, to some extent, political effects of this event on Palestinians can be calculated, the psychological, social and cultural effects are harder to tabulate. Twenty-two years on, between 55,000 and 70,000 Palestinians remain in Kuwait. They maintain a low profile, understandable given their precarious legal, socio-political and economic status. Kuwaitis tend Deleuze Studies 8.1 (2014): 23–44 DOI: 10.3366/dls.2014.0132 © Edinburgh University Press www.euppublishing.com/dls 24 Mai Al-Nakib to remain silent regarding what can be described as the ‘overlapping yet irreconcilable experiences’ of living with and without Palestinians in Kuwait (Said 2004: 143).
