Land for peace? Israel-Palestine through the lens of game theory Amal Ahmad∗ February 2021 Abstract Why have Israel and the Palestinians failed to implement a \land for peace" solution, along the lines of the Oslo Accords? This paper studies the applica- tion of game theory to this question. I show that existing models of the conflict largely rely on unrealistic assumptions about what the main actors are trying to achieve. Specifically, they assume that Israel is strategically interested in withdrawing from the occupied territories pending resolvable security concerns but that it is obstructed from doing so by violent Palestinians with other objec- tives. I use historical analysis along with bargaining theory to shed doubt on this assumption, and to argue that the persistence of conflict has been aligned with, not contrary to, the interests of the militarily powerful party, Israel.

  • Ten Chudy Schlechter
    Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne Seria Literacka 22 (42) Joanna Maleszyńska Ten chudy Schlechter Czołówka przedwojennego polskiego filmu Co mój mąż robi w nocy jest niezwykła: nie tworzą jej banalne napisy, za to na tle kotary – jak na kabaretowej, jeszcze nieodsłoniętej scenie – poja- wia się konferansjer i zapowiada autorów filmu. A ponieważ kon- feransjerem tym jest legendarny Fryderyk Járosy, nie wymienia po prostu nazwisk i profesji, ale do nazwiska każdego z przedsta- wionych artystów dodaje, niby dla odróżnienia, formułkę o jego tuszy, zapewne zmyśloną. Oto próbka: Proszę państwa, mam zaszczyt zaprezentować film: – reżyser: nasz niezrównany Michał Waszyński; no, ten gruby Wa- szyński, pan go zna; – scenariusz: Anatol Stern, ten gruby Stern; […] – muzyka: Jerzy Petersburski – ten mały, gruby Petersburski! – teksty dialogów i piosenek: Emanuel Schlechter; to jest ten chudy Schlechter, ten gruby to jest jego kuzyn. Fryderyk Járosy, adoptowany w Polsce światowiec pocho- dzenia – dosłownie! – austro-węgierskiego1 prowadzi pełną wdzięku rozmowę z niewidoczną publicznością, docinając swo- im kolegom ze sceny i kabaretu. Schlechtera oszczędza, i mimo że to tylko scenka komediowa, przekazuje w niej prawdziwą in- formację. Emanuel Schlechter2 rzeczywiście był szczupły, choć 1 Urodził się w roku 1890 jako syn Węgra i Austriaczki, młodość spędził w Austrii, Rosji i Francji; w 1924 r. trafił do Warszawy z teatrzykiem rosyjskich „białych” emigrantów „Niebieski Ptak” – zob.

Report for the Year 2018 An overview of management performance and of accounting records for 2017 was audited by the Audit Committee of the Association through the review of banking records. The management report for 2017 was subsequently sent to the Municipal Court in Prague, into a file of documents of the Register of recorded Associations. The Association informed the Tax Office that pursuant to Section 38mb No. 586/1992 Coll. Of the Income Taxe Code, it was not required to file an income tax return for 2017. In 2018 the Association sent to all 2017 donors for tax purposes a confirmation of the acceptance of their donations. In 2018 we duly accounted for the gift of the Hagibor Foundation for the year 2017. The Hagibor Foundation confirmed by mail on July 10, 2018 the accuracy of the accounting. All financial operations in 2018 were performed exclusively via bank transfers. This management method has proved to be good and the Board proposes to proceed in the future the same way. The rejection of cash contributions during individual activities, though it reduces small donations, it keeps everything transparent and clear to members, donors, and for bookkeepers. In 2018, the Hagibor Foundation accepted the Association's request to support our charitable activities and those benefiting the Hagibor Social Welfare Home (DSPH) and provided a contribution of CZK 8,000,000.
