  • Jerusalem: a Primer Jerusalem: a Primer 2
    JERUSALEM: A PRIMER JERUSALEM: A PRIMER 2 STATE 194: ABOUT THE FILM In 2009, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad launched a plan to demonstrate that his people were deserving of statehood, inspiring them to change their destiny and seek UN membership. Since then, they’ve made remarkable progress, but the political quagmire--and Fayyad’s recent resignation from office--may destroy the most promising opportunity for peace in years.

INTRODUCTION Of all issues at the heart of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, Jerusalem may be the most fraught and decisive. Many observers claim it was the “radioactive” issue over which Camp David negotiations unraveled in 2000. Arguably, there remains a greater gulf between dominant Israeli and Palestinian narratives on Jerusalem than on any of the other core issues of the conflict. This primer aims to provide not just historical background and context to shed light on current disputes regarding Jerusalem, but also to share dominant Israeli and Palestinian narratives to elucidate the city’s unique holiness and significance to each people.

  • The Politics of Home in Jerusalem: Partitions, Parks, and Planning Futures
    THE POLITICS OF HOME IN JERUSALEM: PARTITIONS, PARKS, AND PLANNING FUTURES Nathan W. Swanson A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Banu Gökarıksel Sara Smith John Pickles Sarah Shields Nadia Yaqub © 2016 Nathan W. Swanson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nathan W. Swanson: The Politics of Home in Jerusalem: Partitions, Parks, and Planning Futures (Under the direction of Banu Gökarıksel) At a time when Palestine and Palestinians are ubiquitously framed through the “Israeli- Palestinian conflict” and the “peace process”, the spaces of everyday life for Palestinians are often ignored. This is in spite of the fact that so many of the Israeli policies and technologies of occupation and settlement are experienced materially by Palestinians in these spaces. In this dissertation, then, drawing on feminist geopolitics, I consider everyday Palestinian spaces like the home, neighborhood, and village—with a focus on Jerusalem—to better understand geographies of occupation and settlement in Palestine/Israel today. I argue, through attention to Palestinian experiences on the ground, that widespread representations of Jerusalem as either a “united” or “divided” city fail to capture the Palestinian experience, which is actually one of fragmentation, both physical and social. As a case study in fragmentation, I turn to the zoning of Israeli national parks in and between Palestinian neighborhoods, arguing that parks have served the purposes of settlement in less politicized ways than West Bank settlement blocs, but like the settlement blocs, have resulted in dispossession and restrictions on Palestinian construction, expansion, and movement.

  • Israel : Egypt Trip Summary 2022
    Join Grace Point Church’s 10 Day Journey to Israel, October 4th - 13th, 2022 with an optional 5 Day Egypt Extension Tour October 13th - 17th, 2022 Hi GPC Family and Friends! I would like to invite you to join Rhonda and I for an adventure of a lifetime! For thousands of years, no place has been more historical or insightful to Christ followers than the land of Israel. God used the land of Israel to shape the lives of His people in the days of the Bible and He still does the same today. When reading the Bible, have you ever wondered what it would be like to actually be there? In October 2020, you will have an opportunity to see the Sea of Galilee, the Valley of Megiddo, the Jordan River, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and much more. As you journey to Israel and possibly Egypt, I’m confident the stories in the Bible will jump off the pages as you walk where the men and women of Scripture walked and experienced God in powerful ways. More than visiting the places of the Bible, it is my desire to help you experience the God of the Bible as you visit these amazing places. I had the privilege of leading a trip last October with some of our GPC folks and after seeing and hearing how the trip impacted them in such a positive way, Rhonda and I are ready to invite another group to join us. As you look at the map of where we will visit and read through our itinerary, I hope you get excited and take advantage of this amazing trip.
