i Photo:The plaque in Balfour’s family church, Whittingehame, East Lothian. ii Balfour Declaration Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet. “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non- Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country” I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. iii iv Palestine and the legacy of Balfour Edited by Hugh Humphries Scottish Friends of Palestine v Haddington Declaration We, who gathered here today in the home town of Arthur James Balfour and all those who accept this Declaration, Cognizant of the inherent injustice of the infamous Balfour Declaration of 2 November 1917 and its utter disregard for the fundamental rights of the indigenous national Palestinian majority in Palestine, Aware of the consequential tragedies of loss of life and property, destitution and dispersion of millions of people for over half a century in Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, Distressed particularly at the execution of the largest, longest ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from hundreds of towns and villages in their homeland which resulted in the long exile of 6 million Palestinian refugees until today, Mindful of the unforgivable failure of the British Mandate to fulfil its obligations towards the protection, welfare and self- government of the Palestinians and the territorial integrity of Palestine, Hereby declare that, The Balfour Declaration and its consequences are legally invalid and morally wrong and must be reversed, The suffering of the Palestinians till this day is an evil, the continuation of which must be stopped and amends be made, The restoration of Palestinian rights, particularly the Right of Return and Self-Determination and respect for human rights and international law must be implemented, this being the only basis for permanent peace, We further call upon, The British Government to atone for Balfour sins by adopting and implementing a clear and strong policy for the support of the vi Palestinians’ Inalienable Rights and by making reparations for the suffering and damages to the Palestinians, The European Union and the US to accept responsibility for the Palestinian catastrophe, support Palestinian rights, cease and desist from aiding Israel in all aspects and impose penalties on Israel as long as it continues in violation of international law The international community, particularly Human Rights NGO’s, to condemn Israel’s racist and Apartheid policies, boycott dealing with it and fully support the Palestinians rights, particularly the Right of Return, All human beings of free conscience to help end the century-long evil which befell the Palestinians, restore their rights in Palestine and establish in Palestine a free democratic country free from racism, Apartheid and discrimination on any grounds. Haddington, East Lothian 12, 13 November 2005 In the 88th year after Balfour Declaration vii Copyright: Scottish Friends of Palestine in association with the named speakers/contributors. Published by Scottish Friends of Palestine 2006 acknowledgement Scottish Friends of Palestine acknowledges, with thanks, the support of UNISON in the production and distribution of this conference book. ISBN 0 9521210 3 4 viii On the 12 & 13 November 2005 Scottish Friends of Palestine held its international conference at Haddington, East Lothian. The subject of the conference was Palestine and the legacy of Balfour, in this, the 88th anniversary year of the Balfour Declaration. The proximity of Whittingehame, the family home of the then Foreign Secretary, Arthur J. Balfour, to Haddington made the latter the ideal venue for the conference. Throughout the conference enthusiasm was expressed by many participants for the contributions from the various speakers to be put into print. This book represents an attempt to meet this request. At the outset, it has to be stressed that it does not do justice to some of the speakers and their contribution. Some spoke with no prepared paper. Others, because of time constraints, agreed to address the content of their paper through the question and answer session. In these cases alternatives have been used. The one exception to this is Ghada Karmi where reference to her book In Search of Fatima: A Palestinian Story (Verso Press 2002) is recommended. Leila Khaled was invited to speak but her request for a visa was turned down by the Home Office. She did provide a transcript of her contribution and this is included. This book was finalised just as Israel was withdrawing its army of aggression and terror from Southern Lebanon at the end of August 2006. It left in its wake a civilian population (and infrastructure) devastated by the firepower of the Israeli armed forces. However it did not leave a people cowed and humiliated by the destructive power of the Israeli state. Could Balfour’s legacy be entering a new phase? Or is it simply that an army which has honed its skills at checkpoints - forcing pregnant mothers to give birth in the open, forcing the old to wait in freezing cold, wet conditions, for hours on end and shooting at children – is now no match for a determined, motivated opponent?

They are our neighbours here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred metres away, there are people who do not belong to our continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy. Moshe Katsav, Israel’s President1 INTRODUCTION More than a century and a half ago Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Tell- Tale Heart,” in which a young man decides to kill a kind old man who “never wronged” him simply because “he had the eye of a vulture.” Whenever he looked at the eye, his “blood ran cold,” as it “chilled the very marrow” in his bones. But in order to kill the old man, he had to shine a ray of light on his “pale blue eye” alone in the otherwise complete darkness, so as not to see anything else “of the man’s face or person.” If he saw the human in him, he could not hurt him. When he was about to commit the murder, he heard “a low, dull, quick sound”; it was the “beating of the [terrified] old man’s heart.” It only increased his fury, “as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage.” After suffocating the old man, he dismembered his corpse and carefully concealed the parts under the floor planks. The old man’s last shriek before dying, however, alarmed the neighbours, who called the police. Upon their arrival, the young man received them with confidence, even inviting them to search the old man’s room, bringing chairs for them, and “in the wild audacity of [his] perfect triumph, [he] placed [his] own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.” He began to hear a ringing sound, which grew in intensity despite all his attempts to speak louder to cover it up.

    Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field

    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

    Houses Built on Sand: Violence, Sectarianism and Revolution in the Middle East

    125 5 Building Beirut, transforming Jerusalem and breaking Basra Empires collapse. Gang leaders are strutting about like statesmen. The peoples Can no longer be seen under all those armaments. So the future lies in darkness and the forces of right Are weak. All this was plain to you. Walter Benjamin, On the Suicide of the Refugee Cities of Salt, a novel by Abdelrahman Munif set in an unnamed Gulf kingdom tells the story of the transformation of Wadi Al Uyan by Americans after the discovery of oil.1 The wadi, initially described as a ‘salvation from death’ amid the treacherous desert heat, played an important role in the lives of the Bedouin community of the unnamed kingdom – although the reader quickly draws parallels with Saudi Arabia – and its ensuing destruction has a devastating impact upon the people who lived there. The novel explores tensions between tradition and modernity that became increasingly pertinent after the discovery of oil, outlining the transformation of local society amid the socio-eco nomic development of the state. The narrative reveals how these developments ride roughshod over tribal norms that had long regulated life, transforming the regulation and ordering of space, grounding the exception within a territorially bounded area. It was later banned by a number of Gulf states. Although fictional, the novel offers a fascinating account of the evolution of life across the Gulf. World Bank data suggests that 65% of the Middle East’s population live in cities, although in Kuwait this is 98%, in Qatar it is 99%, but in Yemen it is only 35%.2 Legislation designed to regulate life finds most traction within urban areas, where jobs and welfare projects offer a degree of protection.

    The BDS Movement: Why Israel?

    Alex Feuerherdt The BDSMovement: Why Israel? The BDSMovement – Past and Present The BDS movement is currentlythe most active and best known anti-Israel asso- ciation. The abbreviation “BDS” stands for “Boycott, Divestment,and Sanc- tions.” Officially,the movement was founded in July 2005 by more than 170or- ganizations,supposedlyrepresenting the Palestinian civil society.Atleast,this is how the BDSmovement likes to tell the story.¹ Since 2005,BDS has gained many supporters,evenoutside the Palestinian territories, among them celebrities like South African archbishop Desmond Tutu, Britishfilm director KenLoach,Amer- ican philosopher Judith Butler, and ex-Pink Floydsinger Roger Waters.The BDS movement perceivesand describes Israel as an “Apartheid state,” like South Af- rica previously, and calls for acomprehensive economic, political,academic, and artistic boycott,aswell as for awithdrawal of investments, an embargo, and coercive measures.Thus, it targets the Jewish state as awhole. It is headed by Omar Barghouti,who, albeit having studied at TelAvivUniversity, accuses Is- rael of “Apartheid,”² “Nazi practices,”³ and “ethnic cleansing.”⁴ He categorically rejects atwo-state solution and maintains thatany dialogue with Israeliswould be “unethical” and “dangerous.” Another well-known BDS activist is Lebanese-American professor of politics As’ad AbuKhalil, who in 2012 said: The real aim of BDS is to bringdown the stateofIsrael. […]That should be stated as an unambiguous goal. Thereshould not be anyequivocation on the subject.Justiceand free- dom for the Palestiniansare incompatible with the existenceofthe stateofIsrael.⁵ Cf. “Palestinian Civil SocietyCall for BDS,” BDS Movement,issued July 9, 2005,accessed April 1, 2020,https://bdsmovement.net/call.

  • Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1

    Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1

    Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1 In the May 1 visit to Meretz USA of Meretz MK Avshalom (Abu) Vilan, he told us of imploring Gen. Uzi Dayan (the organizer of this past weekend’s oust- Olmert rally) to press the goal of Olmert’s resignation but not of a new election, for two reasons: 1. Frequent elections are making Israel’s government unstable; the last election was little more than a year ago. 2. More importantly, Netanyahu would be returned to power at the head of about 35 Likud MKs. Abu feels that it would be far better that Peres or Livni replace Olmert with a new Kadima-led coalition and that with Meretz’s support, embark upon new avenues toward peace, via the Saudis, the US, Abbas and the European Union. He personally trusts Peres more than Livni, feeling that Livni’s not experienced enough and that her right-wing Likud roots make her suspect. But I find Peres ultimately untrustworthy because of his habit as a political intriguer. Hence, I think that Livni might be better, but either one as PM would be a source of new hope. Below is an abbreviated description of last week’s oust-Olmert rally from the MideastWeb for Coexistence site, by one Joseph M. Hochstein of Tel Aviv: What made this demonstration different from others was the crowd’s diversity. Members of opposing political factions shared the square. Young men wearing National Religious knitted skullcaps prayed in groups alongside secular Tel Aviv residents. … The closest the audience came to a display of vocal unanimity was when Eliad Shraga, a reserve paratroop officer who heads the Movement for Quality Government, exhorted them to act as judge and jury and answer whether Olmert was guilty.

Palestinian Economic Development: Israeli Actions in Light of the 1994 Paris Protocol and International Economic Law Vincent El Hayek In 1993, Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization signed the Oslo Accords,' starting a peace process that was meant to end with a Palestinian State. The Oslo Accords were only the start of numerous agreements, including the 1994 Gaza-Jericho Agreement, which became Annex IV to the Accords, commonly known as the Paris Protocol.2 The Paris Protocol laid out the framework for what was to be the economic relationship between Israel and a Palestinian state. Its writers recognized the importance that stability and growth in the Palestinian economy had for any hope of a lasting peace. 3 As such, they developed a strategy which hinged on four "pillars" for Palestinian economic development: 11] International aid; [2] close Israeli-Palestinian economic relations; [3] foreign and private investment; and [4] access to foreign markets for Palestinian exports.4 When the Paris Protocol was first signed, excitement was high.
