Bibliography: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Part 2) Compiled and Selected by Judith Tinnes [Bibliographic Series of Perspectives on Terrorism - BSPT-JT-2018-2] PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 12, Issue 1 Bibliography: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Part 2) Compiled and selected by Judith Tinnes [Bibliographic Series of Perspectives on Terrorism - BSPT-JT-2018-2] Abstract This bibliography contains journal articles, book chapters, books, edited volumes, theses, grey literature, bibli- ographies and other resources on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To keep up with the rapidly changing political events, more recent publications have been prioritised during the selection process. The literature has been re- trieved by manually browsing more than 200 core and periphery sources in the field of Terrorism Studies. Addi- tionally, full-text and reference retrieval systems have been employed to expand the search. Keywords: bibliography; resources; literature; terrorism; Israel; Palestine; Gaza; Israeli-Palestinian conflict; Arab-Israeli conflict; peace process NB: All websites were last visited on 21.01.2018. This subject bibliography is the second part of a two-part bibliography (Part 1 was published in Issue 8[5]). To avoid duplication, this compilation only includes literature not contained in Part 1. However, meta-re- sources, such as bibliographies, were included in both parts. - See also Note for the Reader at the end of this literature list.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLES of PALESTINIAN WOMEN in the ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT by MEGAN BA
    AN ARMY OF ROSES FOR WAGING PEACE: THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLES OF PALESTINIAN WOMEN IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT by MEGAN BAILEY A THESIS Presented to the Department of International Studies and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2014 An Abstract of the Thesis of Megan Bailey for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of International Studies to be taken June 2014 Title: An Army of Roses for Waging Peace: The Transformative Roles of Palestinian Women in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Approved: __'_J ~-= - ....;::-~-'--J,,;...;_.....:~~:==:......._.,.,~-==~------ Professor FrederickS. Colby This thesis examines the different public roles Palestinian women have assumed during the contemporary history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The thesis uses the problematic juxtaposition between the high public visibility of female militants and relatively low visibility of female political figures as a basis for investigating individual Palestinian women and women's groups that have participated in the Palestinian public sphere from before the first Intifada to the present. The thesis addresses the current state of Palestine's political structure, how international sources of support for enhancing women's political participation might be implemented, and internal barriers Palestinian women face in becoming politically active and gaining leadership roles. It draws the conclusions that while Palestinian women do participate in the political sphere, greater cohesion between existing women's groups and internal support from society and the political system is needed before the number of women in leadership positions can be increased; and that inclusion of women is a necessary component ofbeing able to move forward in peace negotiations.

  • Die Israelische Rechte Will, Dass Die Arabische Bevölkerung Wählt — Unter Einer Bedingung
    Die israelische Rechte will, dass die arabische Bevölkerung wählt — unter einer Bedingung Meron Rapoport und Ameer Fakhoury, 972.mag, 04.02.21 [In der Übersetzung leicht gekürzt] Die israelischen Politiker buhlen um die Stimmen der arabischen Bürger, doch diese Liebesaffäre wird von einem kolonialen Ziel angetrieben: die Beseitigung der palästinensischen Identität der Gemeinschaft. Ein wahres „Liebesfeuerwerk“. Besser lässt sich der jüngste Vorstoß von Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu für die palästinensischen Bürger in Israel nicht beschreiben. Anfang letzten Jahres begrüßte Netanjahu Da ist die Verbindung mit, dem Führer der islami- Trumps sogenannten Nahost-„Friedensplan“, schen Partei Ra'am, Mansour Abbas, die dazu führte, dass Netanjahu fast genug Knesset-Sitze der dazu geführt hätte, dass !mm al-Fahm, der zusam-menbekam, um an der Macht zu bleiben, und "rt seines Fototermins, einem palästinen- die einer der Hauptgründe für die Auflösung der sis#hen $taat zuges#hlagen und dem %ann, Joint List [Gemeinsamen Liste] ist.

Es gab das Versprechen, innerhalb von Tagen einen Plan zur Bekämpfung der Kriminalität in der arabischen Gesellschaft zu genehmigen (die Tage verstrichen und kein Plan wurde genehmigt), und die Prahlerei über die Regierungsresolution 922, einen umfangreichen Entwicklungsplan in arabischen Gemeinden. Vielleicht mehr als alles andere, ist die Rede davon, dass man versucht, arabische Stimmen zu gewinnen, indem man direkt mit den arabischen Bürgern kommuniziert, einen muslimischen Politiker ganz oben auf die Kandidatenliste des Likud setzt und vielleicht sogar einen muslimischen Regierungsminister ernennt.

Robert Wexler, President News Excerpts June 30, 2020 Times of Israel Palestinians Say Ready for Direct Talks with Israel The Palestinians are prepared to renew long-stalled peace talks with Israel and to agree to "minor" territorial concessions. A Palestinian Authority text sent to the international peacemaking Quartet that says the Palestinians are "ready to resume direct bilateral negotiations where they stopped," in 2014. The PA said the counterproposal would be withdrawn if Israel went ahead with annexation "of any part of the Palestinian territory". "We are ready to have our state with a limited number of weapons and a powerful police force to uphold law and order," it said, adding that it would accept an international force such as NATO, mandated by the UN, to monitor compliance with any eventual peace treaty. The text also proposes "minor border changes that will have been mutually agreed, based on the borders of June 4, 1967", when Israeli forces captured the West Bank.

Since the Summer of 2013, I’ve been working on a currently untitled play inspired by the Diane Arnson Svarlien translation of Euripides’ Medea. The origin of the idea was my Theater and Culture class with Nancy Hoffman, taken in the Spring of 2013. For our midterm, we were assigned to pick a play we had read and set it in a new location. It was the morning of my 21st birthday, a Friday, and the day I was heading home for Spring Break. My birthday falls on a Saturday this year, but tomorrow marks the anniversary, I’d say. I had to catch a train around 7:30am. The only midterm I hadn’t completed was the aforementioned Theater and Culture assignment.

Programme Paper: ASP PP 2010/01 Conceptualizing AfPak: The Prospects and Perils EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Obama administration’s AfPak strategy has created the opportunity to recalibrate US engagement with Afghanistan and Pakistan to reverse the Taliban momentum and ‘disrupt and dismantle’ the terrorist threat from the border region. The strategy advocates an increase in US/NATO troops, reconciliation with ‘moderate’ Taliban, and a regional approach to the conflict that includes tackling the Taliban in Pakistan’s tribal areas. In its current conceptualization, it lacks implementation mechanisms and analysis of the border region to manage the insurgency and quell the violence. This paper analyses some of the contradictions, anomalies and structural flaws in the AfPak strategy that risk further destabilizing the Afghanistan–Pakistan border region. As part of the AfPak strategy, President Obama has ordered a ‘military surge’ of approximately 50,000 US troops to implement a shift from counterterrorism to counterinsurgency with an emphasis on the ‘clear, hold, build and engage’ strategy.

  • The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics”, Security Dialogue, Vol
    Post peer review version of Zehfuss, Maja, “Culturally Sensitive War? The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics”, Security Dialogue, vol. 43, no. 2 (2012), 175-190. (ISSN 0967-0106) Culturally Sensitive War? The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics Since 2005 the US Army has designed and implemented the Human Terrain System (HTS) as part of the counterinsurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq.1 Its centrepiece is the deployment with combat forces of Human Terrain Teams (HTTs), involving regional studies experts and social scientists. An article introducing and praising the programme in the Military Review extolled the significance of “ethnographic and cultural intelligence” for military operations in low-intensity conflicts: not drawing on such information would be wasteful, and “waste on the battlefield means loss of life, both civilian and military, with high potential for failure having grave geopolitical consequences to the loser” (Kipp et al., 2006: 8). Given the criticism of the US’s failure to consult regional experts before its invasion of Iraq, an interest in culture appears progressive, and the more so if lives may be saved. Hence, the idea of HTS as a means of reducing the (human) cost of war is seductive. Despite positive coverage in the mainstream media (CEAUSSIC, 2009: 9-11), HTS has, however, been subject to fierce criticism, especially from anthropologists. The promise of reducing harm to people caught up in warfare through particular capabilities is familiar not least from the discourse on smart weapons (Zehfuss, 2011) and from the recruitment of nuclear scientists to the war effort in the Second World War.

It is fitting that this monumental relocation occurred on the eve of the university’s 90th anniversary, reminding us that the new campus is not just a new beginning, it also represents the continuation of a rich legacy spanning nearly a century. While the completion of the campus and the complicated logistics of the move presented us with multiple challenges — not atypical of an undertaking of this magnitude — they also created a wealth of opportunities that will propel AUC to a new level of excellence. As we are confronted with new challenges, we have a rare opportunity to re-examine all areas of operation, rethinking and refining many of our systems and programs. Yet, the most exciting opportunities for the institution are still unfolding and will continue in the years to come. The building of the New Cairo Campus is about creating a world- class university from the inside out. The campus has given us the most modern facilities needed to create that university, but it is AUC’s dedicated faculty and quality students President’s Letter who have always been the guiding force behind its success.

NATO’s determination and solidarity in fighting the evolving challenge posed by terrorism has constantly increased since the Alliance invoked its collective defence clause for the first time in response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States of America. NATO has gained much experience in countering terrorism from its missions and operations. However, NATO cannot defeat terrorism on its own. Fortunately, we do not stand alone.
