Avoiding Last Period Defection Within Israeli-Palestinian Final
Breaking the Stalemate: Avoiding Last Period Defection within Israeli-Palestinian Final Status Negotiations through Statistical Modeling John J. Villa Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a B.A. with Honors From the Political Science Department at Duke University March 31, 2017 1 Forward: --First, I must thank the phenomenal Political Science Department at Duke University and my thesis advisor Dr. Michael C. Munger for their tremendous support while I developed my thesis and during my general education. Dr. Munger’s leadership, creativity, and generosity provided the foundation upon which I write to you, and his impact upon this publication was critical. --To Dr. Abdeslam E. M. Maghraoui, thank you for instructing me in three tremendous Middle East Studies courses and helping me establish the foundational aspects of this publication. Your mentorship and sharing of knowledge provided an entry point into subject matter far beyond anything I ever thought I would reach. -- To Dr. Mbaye Lo, thank you for your unwavering support, challenging materials, and educated discussions. Our long debates in your office are some of my fondest memories of my time in Durham. --To the staff of the Data Visualization Lab staff at Duke University consisting of Mark Thomas, Angela Zoss, John Little, and Jena Happ, your expertise, patience, and assistance in ArcGIS, Open Refine, and general data manipulation were extremely helpful during the computational portion of this publication and for that I thank you. --To Ryan Denniston, your assistance in Microsoft Excel functions and ArcGIS modeling was impeccable. This is, of course, in addition to your generosity, patience, and creatively which I’m sure were tested day after day coding together in the lab as you guided me through the ever-more complex ArcGIS models. -
Modesty and Piety: Improving on the Past
Modesty and Piety: Improving on the Past Modesty and Piety: Improving on the Past by: Michael K. Silber The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The well known “coat of arms” of the priestly Rapaport family first appeared as a colophon at the end of Avraham Menachem Rapa of Porto’s Mincha Belulah (Verona, 1594), fol. 207b, readily at HebrewBooks.org (here). Instead of a motto, a banner proclaimed the author’s name above and below the shield which featured a pair of hands raised in priestly benediction in the upper half, while below was depicted a crow (Rabe in German) on a branch, a reference to the author’s family name. The shield is flanked by two heraldic supporters, and this is what interests us here. The supporters feature two female torsos rampant facing away from the shield. They are nude from the waist up. It was by no means rare to encounter nude women in Hebrew books between the sixteenth and the early eighteenth centuries, even prominently displayed on the covers (Adam accompanied at times by a buxom Eve is a ready example). But no doubt such nudity proves unsettling to the Orthodox public nowadays. Benjamin Shlomo Hamburger’s recently published magisterial three volume history, Ha-Yeshiva ha-Rama bi-Fiorda (Bnei Brak, 5770) is a rich, learned study by one who has dedicated many scholarly books to the heritage of German Jewry. The volumes are noteworthy also for their rich illustrations, but one in particular catches the eye. A chapter dedicated to Baruch Kahana Rapaport who served for many years as rabbi of Fürth (1711-1746), reproduces, as many a study on the Rapaports, the “coat of arms” fromMincha Belulah (volume 1, page 390). -
Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.
