  • FYS 1602 Understanding Israeli-Palestinian Relations
    Carleton University Winter 2009 Department of Political Science PSCI 3702A Peace and Conflict in the Middle East Thursdays 8.35-11.25 Please confirm location on Carleton Central Professor Mira Sucharov Office: B649 Loeb Office Hours: W&Th 11:45-1:30 Phone: 520-2600 x. 3131 Email: [email protected] Please note that I check my email much more frequently than my voice mail. Course Description: This course offers a conceptual and theoretical analysis of the contemporary Middle East through an exploration of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and peace process. Using the lens of political science and international relations (IR) theory, we will address questions such as what is nationalism? How is identity created? What is the role of historical memory in shaping foreign policy? How do international conflicts start, sustain themselves, and ultimately end? What are the basic issues at stake for the actors in the Israeli- Palestinian conflict? And why, despite continued efforts at peacemaking, are the parties still “at war?” While the conflict often leads to impassioned debate, we will make an effort to address the issues through an explanatory – rather than moral – lens. The course will not attempt to argue that one party is right or wrong; instead, we will, according to the aims of social science, attempt to understand and explain why various actors act the way they do. To this end, we will make use of the website “bitterlemons.org,” where Israelis and Palestinians each give their “take” on an issue. We will analyze these debates in order to understand the experience of each side in the conflict, rather than to adjudicate between them.

  • It's the Settlements, Stupid
    http://www.timesofisrael.com/its-the-settlements-stupid/ It’s the settlements, stupid By David Horovitz October 14, 2014, 3:25 pm timesofisrael.com ‘The next few minutes will be personally rather painful for me… I was a friend of Israel long before I became a Tory. My wife’s family were instrumental in the creation of the Jewish state. Indeed, some of them were with Weizmann at the Paris conference [of 1919]… In the Six Day War, I became personally involved. There was a major attempt to destroy Israel… Six years later, in the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the same situation happened again… “I have stood by Israel through thick and thin, through the good years and the bad. I have sat down with ministers and senior Israeli politicians and urged peaceful negotiations and a proportionate response to prevarication, and I thought that they were listening. But I realize now, in truth, looking back over the past 20 years, that Israel has been slowly drifting away from world public opinion. The annexation of the 950 acres of the West Bank just a few months ago has outraged me more than anything else in my political life, mainly because it makes me look a fool, and that is something that I resent… “I am not yet convinced that it [Palestine] is fit to be a state… Under normal circumstances, I would oppose the motion tonight; but such is my anger over Israel’s behavior in recent months that I will not oppose the motion. I have to say to the Government of Israel that if they are losing people like me, they will be losing a lot of people.” – Sir Richard Ottaway, Conservative MP for Croydon South, who visited Israel with his wife on a Conservative Friends of Israel trip three years ago.

The Israeli offensive came in response to markedly increased Palestinian rocket fire following the expiration of a six-month cease-fire on December 19. On January 3, 2009, Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza. Despite international pressure to halt the fighting (including the passage of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1860 on January 8), the conflict continued until January 18, when Israel unilaterally ceased fire and Hamas followed suit shortly thereafter. Israel’s technological superiority and reliance on heavy armor and firepower contributed to a wide disparity in casualties—approximately 1,440 Palestinians have died (with some organizations estimating that at least half of the dead are civilians), compared with 13 dead (including four civilians) on the Israeli side.

  • Beyond Images Project
    THE BEYOND IMAGES PROJECT www.beyondimages.info Israel website guide: Resources for busy advocates by Andrew White - last updated 28 August 2010 The purpose of this guide…. and how it is organised Many people wish to speak up for Israel. This guide to websites is designed to support advocacy which is coherent, well-informed, humane, pro-active and balanced. The guide is divided into the following categories (and there is some overlap between them): News, analysis and the Israeli government Gaza, Israel and Hamas – specific resources Thinktanks International law, Israel and the Middle East Advocacy tools, resources and techniques Israeli society Israel‟s medical and humanitarian contributions around the world Jewish-Arab coexistence projects in Israel Media monitoring projects on Israel Monitoring media in the Arab and Muslim world NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) How have the websites been chosen? There are many websites on Israel. Obviously, this guide is very selective. I highlight resources which focus on education and information. I do not cover the (often excellent) websites of Zionist federations, lobbying or communal organisations or party political groups, because their sites normally have a different emphasis. I have chosen to provide a diverse range of sites, which reflects the diversity of opinion in Israel itself. All listed websites are in English. Many offer multiple languages. See each site for details. Andrew White is a London-based lawyer, founder of the Israel advocacy/education project Beyond Images, and author of the Beyond Images website (www.beyondimages.info). All opinions expressed below about sites, and site selections, are Andrew‟s personal opinions.

  • Israel: Background and U.S. Relations
    Israel: Background and U.S. Relations Jim Zanotti Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs February 27, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33476 Israel: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Since Israel’s founding in 1948, successive U.S. Presidents and many Members of Congress have demonstrated a commitment to Israel’s security and to maintaining close U.S.-Israel cooperation. Bilateral closeness has been based on common perceptions of shared democratic values and religious affinities. The question of Israel’s security regularly influences U.S. policy considerations regarding the Middle East, and Congress provides active oversight of executive branch dealings with Israel and other actors in the region. Israel is a leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid and a frequent purchaser of major U.S. weapons systems. By law, U.S. arms sales cannot adversely affect Israel’s “qualitative military edge” over other countries in its region. The two countries signed a free trade agreement in 1985, and the United States is Israel’s largest trading partner. Israel has many regional security concerns. Aligning U.S. and Israeli policies to address these concerns has presented persistent challenges. By voicing criticism of international diplomacy on Iran’s nuclear program, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may seek to give Israel a voice in an ongoing negotiating process in which it does not directly participate, though observers debate whether his efforts are more likely to boost or diminish his influence over outcomes. Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint meeting of Congress on the matter on March 3, 2015. In addition to concerns over Iran, Israel’s perceptions of security around its borders have changed since 2011 as several surrounding Arab countries have experienced political upheaval.

  • NPR Mideast Coverage
    NPR Mideast Coverage July - September 2013 This report assesses NPR's reporting on events and trends related to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians during the third quarter of 2013. NPR covered these developments with 46 stories and interviews on the radio shows for which it is solely responsible: Morning Edition, Tell Me More, All Things Considered and Weekend Edition. Beginning with this quarter, I also am reviewing some of the related coverage on Here and Now, produced by WBUR in Boston in collaboration with NPR. I review stories and interviews on that show only when they feature NPR journalists; two such reports are included in this review. I do not review coverage by other public radio programs that are distributed by NPR but not produced by it, for example The Diane Rehm Show, Fresh Air, and On Point with Tom Ashbrook. In addition to stories aired on the radio, I have reviewed 25 blogs, news stories, and other items on NPR's website related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. All of the radio and website-only items covered by this review are shown on the "Israel-Palestinian coverage" pages of the website, except for Here and Now stories, which can be found on WBUR's website. In addition, Associated Press news stories selected and edited by NPR staff are posted only for 30 days under a contractual arrangement. The opinions expressed in this report are mine alone. Accuracy I carefully reviewed all items for factual accuracy, with special attention to the radio stories, interviews and website postings produced by NPR staffers.
