Was in Israel als Unabhängigkeitskrieg und Geburtsstunde des jüdischen Staates gefeiert wird, fassen die Palästinenser in dem Wort Nakba – die Katas- trophe – zusammen. Diese zwei sehr verschiedenen Narrative gehören seit 1948 zur politischen Identität und Kultur beider Gesellschaften. Das histori- sche Ereignis der Entstehung Israels hatte einschneidende Folgen nicht nur für das jüdische Volk und den Jischuv, die jüdische Gemeinschaft im britischen Mandatsgebiet Palästina, sondern auch für das arabisch-palästinensische Volk. Etwa 850.000 Palästinenser/innen mussten als Vertriebene und Flüchtlinge im Krieg 1948/49 ihre Heimat verlassen. 160.000 blieben in Israel, wurden während der vergangenen sechzig Jahre als «nicht-jüdische Bürger und Bürgerinnen» zu einer Minderheit von ca. 1,3 Mio. in einem jüdischen Staat. Die Flüchtlinge und ihre Nachkommen leben seitdem in der Westbank und im Gazastreifen, in den arabischen Staaten des Mittleren Ostens und verstreut in der ganzen Welt. Unser deutscher Blick auf die Region ist geprägt von der Schoa, der Verfolgung und Vernichtung der Juden durch Deutschland, und der daraus resultierenden historischen Verantwortung gegenüber Israel. Das 60-jährige Gründungsjubi- läum Israels wurde in Deutschland gefeiert. Im Mittelpunkt standen die politi- schen, sozialen und kulturellen Entwicklungen des israelischen Staates und der jüdischen Gesellschaft. Die komplexe Wirklichkeit des Lebens der Palästinenser/ innen in Israel, vor allem aber in Palästina, geriet dabei häufig in den Hinter- grund. Die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung hat sich sechzig Jahre nach der historischen Zäsur intensiv mit Israel und Palästina und der komplexen politischen wie gesellschaft- lichen Situation befasst – und um der Pluralität der Sichtweisen und Perspek- tiven Raum zu geben, erfolgte dies im Rahmen ganz unterschiedlicher Aktivi- täten. Ein Beispiel halten Sie nun in den Händen. In dieser Publikation setzen wir uns ausführlich mit dem Narrativ der Palästinenser sowie den Transforma- tionsprozessen der Palästinenser/innen in und außerhalb Palästinas ausein- ander. Dabei geht es auch um innerpalästinensische Konfliktlinien und Ausei- nandersetzungen. Wer die Chancen einer friedlichen Konfliktregelung in der Region beurteilen und die Hoffnungen und Ansprüche der Palästinenser/innen verstehen will, muss sich intensiver mit der Geschichte der letzten sechzig Jahre befassen. Denn die heutige geografische, soziale und politische Fragmentierung Vorwort des palästinensischen Volkes ist im Wesentlichen Folge des Nahostkonflikts. 7 Die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung arbeitet seit Jahren in Palästina und Israel. Mit unseren Büros in Ramallah und Tel Aviv unterstützen wir Partner/innen und Projekte, die Beiträge zur demokratischen Entwicklung der Gesellschaften und zu einer friedlichen Konfliktregelung leisten. Als grüne politische Stiftung konzen- trieren wir uns auf die Kooperation mit Organisationen der Zivilgesellschaft, fördern Projekte im Umweltbereich, setzen uns ein für eine Gleichberechtigung von Minderheiten und die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern, unterstützen Initiativen, die für eine demokratische und rechtsstaatliche Entwicklung in ihren Gesellschaften arbeiten, und Gruppen, die für einen israelisch-palästinensischen Dialog sowie eine friedliche Konfliktregelung eintreten. Die Erfahrungen in dieser Arbeit auf beiden Konfliktseiten haben uns in der Überzeugung bestärkt, dass es der Stiftung in der politischen Auseinandersetzung über den Konflikt nicht um eine pro-israelische oder pro-palästinensische Positionierung gehen kann.

    The Arabic Novel ﺔ%اوﺮﻟا ﺔ+*(ﻌﻟا ﺔ%اوﺮﻟا PROF. HISHAM MATAR / [email protected] She is free to do what she wants, and free not to do it. Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi Prose came before poetry. In the beginning, there was prose. The Tongue of Adam by Abdelfattah Kilito He who has missed out on translation knows not what travail is: None but the warrior is scorched by the fire of war! I find a thousand notion for which there is none akin Among us, and a thousand with none appropriate; And a thousand terms with no equivalent.

HISHAM MATAR / [email protected] Overview Whether seen as a chronicle of social life, a hothouse of ideas and philosophical contemplation, a space for literary invention and the articulation of the quiet as well as the loud moments of existence, the novel is, in its various shapes and forms, a modern phenomenon. Perhaps this is partly why for long time there persisted, both in the minds of some Western and Arabic readers, the notion that the genre is a European invention, and therefore, the Arabic novel in particular, an act of literary mimicry. This is not only erroneous, but it also misses what is actually fascinating about the story of the novel in Arabic. It is a story that tells of a deep engagement with a great literary tradition as well as a commitment to invention.

Currently lives in Pennsylvania. Mornings in Jenin (2010) (originally published as ‘Scar of David’ in 2006) follows four generations of the Abulheja family, who, after having been forced to flee their lands in 1948, have to build up a life and a home in the Jenin refugee camp. While the head of the family is brokenhearted over the loss of his lands and olive groves, his offspring becomes involved in the struggle for freedom, peace and home. Their story is told by Amal, the patriarch’s granddaughter, who wants to pass on her family’s story to her own daughter. The Blue between Sky and Water (2015) tells the story of the Barakat family and their powerful women throughout the decades. Expelled from their home in 1947, the family - centering around Nazmiyeh, the eldest daughter - tries to rebuild life in a refugee camp in Gaza amidst violence and deprivations. A few generations later, Nazmiyeh’s Americanborn grandniece Nur rediscovers her roots when she falls in love with a doctor working in Gaza.

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

    Fatah and Hamas: the New Palestinian Factional Reality

    Order Code RS22395 March 3, 2006 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Fatah and Hamas: the New Palestinian Factional Reality Aaron D. Pina Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary For the first time in its history, the Palestinian parliament is set to be led by Hamas, which the United States and European Union have designated a foreign terrorist organization. Although some lauded the generally free and fair election in January 2006, others criticized the outcome and accused Hamas of “hijacking” democracy. This report provides an overview of the new political realities in the West Bank and Gaza after the election, the challenges Fatah and Hamas face, and possible implications for U.S. policy. This report will be updated as warranted. For more information on the Palestinians, see CRS Report RL33269, Palestinian Elections, by Aaron D. Pina, CRS Issue Brief IB91137 The Middle East Peace Talks, by Carol Migdalovitz, and CRS Report RS22370, U.S. Assistance to the Palestinians, by Jeremy M. Sharp. Background On January 25, 2006, Palestinians voted in parliamentary elections and Hamas emerged as the clear winner, with 74 out of 132 parliamentary seats. Fatah, the dominant party in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), won 45 seats, and 13 seats went to other minor parties. Since then, several governments, including the United States, have cautioned that unless Hamas disavows terrorism, recognizes Israel, and accepts all previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements, diplomatic and economic relations with the Palestinian Authority may be circumscribed or ended altogether. Hamas1 During the 1970s and 1980s, Palestinians experienced a rise in political Islam, embodied in Hamas, founded in 1987 by the late Sheik Ahmad Yasin.
