NGOs are empowered to provide quality services that are responsive to the priorities of the Palestinian society. 3. NGO sector is more efficient and capable to influence the formulation of national policies and plans. 4. NDC is more competent and responsive to the various needs of the community. 5.

  • A Future for Israeli-Palestinian Peacebuilding
    Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre A future for Israeli-Palestinian peacebuilding Ned Lazarus July 2017 The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most heavily researched in the world. Yet a shockingly small fraction of this research focuses on the millions of Israelis and Palestinians who share this land, their relations with one another, and how such relations could be improved so that a breakthrough might be possible. This report is both timely and necessary, and can hopefully provide a blueprint for greater international support of civil society efforts to foster conflict resolution.

  • Palestine-Israel Journal
    Palestine-Israel Journal PIJ Policy Paper No. 3 Palestinian Refugees and the Two-State Solution Findings and recommendations of an expert roundtable discussion Jerusalem, December 2009 Moderated and Edited by Ziad Abu Zayyad & Hillel Schenker Organized and drafted by Jumana AZ Jaouni & Ofer Zalzberg This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. The contents of this document are the sole responsibility of the PALESTINE-ISRAEL Journal and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union. PIJ POLICY PAPER - PALESTINIAN REFUGEES AND THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The issue of the Palestinian refugees is at the core of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and an agreement on this core issue is central to the survival of any political settle- ment to the conflict based upon the two-state solution. No settlement to this conflict can be achieved without reaching a fair and just solution to the refugee problem. Total rejection of the Palestinian refugees’ right of return or of responsibility for the refugee problem seems counterproductive, as does the insistence on the full actual practice of this right. One side must relinquish its position, or both sides should take the necessary steps and meet somewhere along the spectrum between the two diametrically opposed positions. It is precisely because of its centrality that it was decided to assess the impact of the refugee problem on the prospects for achieving the two-state solution. The main objective is to advise on what could or should be the policy for a two-state solution to remain viable and sustainable and to be implemented as soon as possible.

  • Isratin: the One-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian
    Isratin: The One-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Ken-Ben Chao War in the 20th Century Mr. John Bickel January 6, 2011 An anxious crowd of two hundred and fifty people gathered and waited outside the Tel Aviv Museum on May 14, 1948. Within the next thirty-two minutes, the State of Israel was formally established. After nearly two millennia in exile, the Jewish homeland was reborn. The next day, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq attacked Israel, prompting the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Within the next sixty years, several other wars would be fought over the Israeli-Palestinian question. Today, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, or Arab-Israeli Conflict, remains a critical obstacle to world peace and stability in the Middle East. Though peace talks have been in progress for decades, numerous issues continue to obstruct success in the negotiations. If a viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is not created and implemented, the conflict will continue to plague the region with terrorism and war. Despite many proposed solutions, obstacles such as Jerusalem, the Israeli settlements, and Palestinian terrorism impede significant progress in the peace talks. With the numerous issues regarding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the best solution is a gradual reintegration of Palestinians into the Holy Land, a relaxation of tensions between the various factions, and the beginning of serious negotiations towards an eventual one-state solution. History In order to fully comprehend the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an understanding of the region’s bloody history must first be attained. The origin of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict goes as far back as the Biblical era.

Means Imperialist Slaughter Across the U.S. and Europe, outraged demonstrators poured into the streets by the thousands. While the media presented gushing accounts of a high-tech video war game and romantic sunset shots of U.S. fighter planes, millions in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities were experiencing the all-too-real stench of death on· the streets and the screech of terror from the skies. The White House proclaimed: "The liberation of Kuwait has begun." the Spartacist League said: "The mass mur­ der of the Iraqi people had begun." To believe the first hours of TV cover­ age, the high-tech U.S. war machine was sweeping the field in a seemingly blood­ less war that would be all but over by breakfast. Bush cheered that his dogs of war were "right on schedule." Before midnight the first "instant poll" results were in: 86 percent say "yes" to war. Evangelist preacher Billy Graham was called to the White House to stay in the guest bedroom and conduct a prayer breakfast the next morning. Wall Street, too, thanked god for being on "our side": "After a moment of si­ lent prayer for the troops in the Persian Gulf and a short clang of the opening bell...trading got off to a flying start," AP the New York Times (18 January) wrote, The Revelation of "High Tech."
