  • Oslo at 25: an Illusive Peace
    Oslo at 25: An illusive peace 22-23 October 2018 University of São Paulo Programme Booklet - English.indd 1 19/10/2018 15:43:56 Oslo at 25: An illusive peace The Oslo Accords signed in 1993 were supposed to end in a final settlement of the Palestine- Israel conflict after an interim period of five years. That objective never materialised with the seven ‘permanent status’ issues yet to be negotiated. The Declaration of Principles (DOP) lists them in the following order: (1) Jerusalem, (2) refugees, (3) settlements, (4) security arrangements, (5) borders, (6) relations and cooperation with other neighbours, and (7) other issues of common interest. From the onset, it was clear that the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the State of Israel had two contradictory visions of the process. While the former envisaged an end to Israel’s settler colonialism, the latter saw it as an opportunity to create a system of indirect rule over the territories occupied in 1967. Whereas there were 260,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1993; today they number more than 600,000. The obvious question, therefore, is that if Israel was really committed to peace, why did it invest so heavily in the construction and maintenance of new settlements in the occupied territories. In normal circumstances, where the rule of law is upheld and mediation was conducted in good faith, this situation could not have persisted. The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 clearly prohibits countries from moving their population into territories occupied in war (Article 49). Hence, it was inevitable that the disregard of international law in the Oslo process would lead to a dead end.

  • The Palestinian Return Centre: London-Based Center for Anti-Israeli Propaganda, Affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, Outlawed in Israel
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center March 30, 2011 The Palestinian Return Centre: London-based center for anti-Israeli propaganda, affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, outlawed in Israel. It promotes the demand of the Palestinian refugees to return as a way of destroying Israel. Senior PRC figures send flotillas and convoys to the Gaza Strip and transfer funds to Hamas. (Full version) One of the PRCs anti-Israeli propaganda activities is holding annual Palestinian conferences in various European countries. They focus Arab-Muslim communities in Europe on the ideology and political agenda of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Above, Ismail Haniya, head of the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, speaks at the seventh annual conference, held in Milan in 2009 (PRC annual Palestinian conference in Europe website). 339-10 2 Overview The PRC's masthead. The Letter R superimposed on a kaffiyeh stands for "return;" inside it is a miniature map of "Palestine," symbol of the final goal, the establishment of a Palestinian state to replace the State of Israel. 1. The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) is a Palestinian center for anti-Israeli propaganda, established in London in 1996. It is affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and some of its senior figures are Hamas activists who found refuge in Britain. 2. Its foundation was based on rejection of the Oslo Accords, a strong denial of the right of the State of Israel to exist and the concept of the "right" of the Palestinian refugees and their descendents to return to the places abandoned in 1948, all to be used as tools to fight Israel and the peace process.

  • Building Solidarity for Palestine in Latin America
    Building Solidarity for Palestine in Latin America Dr. Daud Abdullah November 2015 © All rights reserved to al-Zaytouna Centre for Studies and Consultations. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author alone. They do not necessarily reflect views of al-Zaytouna Centre for Studies and Consultations. Building Solidarity for Palestine in Latin America Dr. Daud Abdullah1 Summary Palestinians and Latin Americans have been linked by a common resistance to foreign domination and vision of independence. Traditionally, much of Latin America’s support for Palestine has come from the left of the political spectrum; this is no longer the case. Israel’s unwillingness to end its occupation has evoked support from across the political divide. The main areas of support are emanating from the Palestinian Diaspora in Latin America; the Native American peoples; Latin American governments; and the social movements spearheaded by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. By themselves, the countries of Latin America cannot emancipate Palestine but they can contribute through the formation of alliances and intensification of South-South cooperation. The Palestinian leadership and people must harness this strategically important source of support. Overview For more than 100 years, Palestinians and Latin Americans have been linked by a common aspiration for independence. That relationship is set to continue well into the 21st century as Latin America’s transformative projects evolve and begin to impact on global affairs. There are four major channels through which solidarity for the Palestinian cause will be advanced: the Palestinian Diaspora in Latin America; the Native American peoples; Latin American governments; and the social movements spearheaded by the BDS movement.

This name is sometimes used by protagonists comprising the network in reference to the collective, organised effort to “revive” and expand Islam’s role in social and political life, in the West, the former Islamic empire, and the world at large. Sheikh Yusuf Al‑Qaradawi, the Egyptian‑born theologian and host of the Al Jazeera TV programme, “Shari’a and Life”, for example, explicitly refers to the “Islamic Movement” as such.
