August 2006. © Mahmoud Ziedan. as it as a slip of the tongue - a ‘new order’? A new order allegedly bringing democracy, human rights and the rule of law to the Middle East. But how, and Wat what price? By ‘reshaping’ and ‘re-ordering’, a vision of self-determination is imposed upon the people of the region. A vision vested in the interest of the superpowers. A vision that calls for appeasement, alignment and acquiescence, not the expression of a people’s rights. It is this same vision that has undermined the capacity of the international community to intervene in Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). Israel’s failure to subdue the people of Lebanon and Palestine, in addition to the debacle of the United States and its coalition in Iraq, sends a clear message to the advocates of this ‘new order’: it is a failure. The people of the region have refused to submit.(1) The Security Council of the United Nations has failed; failed to stop Israel’s war on Lebanon; failed, also, to implement all relevant UN resolutions to the conflict in the region. “When it suits Israel and the United States, United Nations resolutions such as 242 and 338 on Palestine or 638 on releasing hostages can be ignored for years. But other resolutions acquire a Biblical patina and instant compliance is required of them.”(2) Needless to say, all resolutions are intertwined and that in order to achieve ‘a just and lasting peace’ and respect for international law, they must be implemented in a comprehensive manner. This, it should be noted, is also what the people of the Middle East, including Palestinians, and the people of Lebanon and Iraq, want. 2 Summer 2006 Editorial The debates within the Security Council over whether there should be an immediate cessation of hostilities exposed the partisanship, and further, the collusion of the Western states with “it is pointless ...to Israel’s war on Lebanon. The United States’ reluctance to call for an ‘immediate ceasefire’ appeal to the Quartet to strive for the and its preference for a “sustainable ceasefire”(3) revealed not only its power over the Council restoration of human and support of Israel, but also its desire to achieve something more than a ceasefire, i.e., a rights, as neither ‘new order’. Indeed, Condoleeza Rice said that for a UN Security Council resolution to pass, respect for human (4) “both an urgent ceasefire and a lasting settlement” were necessary. While both are needed, a rights nor respect for lasting settlement cannot be achieved in a few days, and certainly not while the people of the the rule of law features region are under attack, and without considering all relevant UN resolutions. In other terms, prominently on the there is no quick fix. agenda of this body....” The willingness of the United States and some European states to wait until the time for a ‘sustainable cease-fire’ is ripe, i.e. that people are weakened to accept whatever is presented to them, has again undermined respect for international law and the credibility of the United Nations in the region. Even the UN Secretary-General came out after Israel’s massacre of the Lebanese village of Qana to express “dismay that my earlier calls for immediate cessation of hostilities were not heeded” stating that “the authority and standing of this Council are at stake” and that “people have noticed its failure to act firmly and quickly.” In the strongest terms possible, the Secretary-General of the United Nations said, “for the sake of the people of the region and of this Organization, I urge you to act, and act now.”(5) The UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, John Dugard, wrote, “the image and reputation of the United Nations has, sadly, suffered in the occupied Palestinian territories” and demanded “real action on the part of the Organization.”(6) But as the Quartet “turns to punitive measures designed to compel Hamas to

  • Palestinian Internally Displaced Persons Inside Israel: Challenging the Solid Structures
    Palestinian Internally Displaced Persons inside Israel: Challenging the Solid Structures Nihad Bokae’e February 2003 Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights PO Box 728 Bethlehem, Palestine [email protected] www.badil.org Socio-historical Overview Internally displaced Palestinians inside Israel are part of the larger Palestinian refugee population that was displaced/expelled from their villages and homes during the 1948 conflict and war in Palestine (i.e., al-Nakba). Most of the refugees were displaced to the Arab states and the Palestinian territories that did not fall under Israeli control (i.e., the West Bank and Gaza Strip). At the end of the war, some 150,000 Palestinians remained in the areas of Palestine that became the state of Israel. This included approximately 30- 40,000 Palestinians who were also displaced during the war. Like the approximately 800,000 Palestinian refugees who were displaced/expelled beyond the borders of the new state, Israel refused to allow internally displaced Palestinians (IDPs) to return to their homes and villages. Displacement did not end with the 1948 war. In the years following the establishment of Israel, internally displaced Palestinians, a small number of refugees who had returned spontaneously to their villages, and Palestinians who had not been displaced during the war were expelled for security and other reasons. Israeli officials also carried out forced transfer of Palestinians from one village to another within the borders of the state in order to facilitate colonization of these areas. This included, for example, Palestinians from the villages of Iqrit, Bir’am, al-Ghabsiyya, Krad al-Baqqarah and Krad al- Ghannamah.
