  • The Independent Personal1ty of the Palestinians*
    THE INDEPENDENT PERSONAL1TY OF THE PALESTINIANS* Türkkaya ATAÖV The exodus and the dispersal of the Palestinian people af- ter the occupation of their land by the racist Zionist entity could not hinder the tradition of national expression. This expression, linked to the national question, was even developed as a reaction to foreign invasion. No doubt, the Palestinian armed struggle, follovving the Israeli attack in 1967, has caused an explosion of a potential energy not only in terms of military force, but in the realm of culture and arts. Palestinian culture, in the form of poetry, folk tales, popular singing, dancing, national costumes, embroidery, ceramics, carving, glass and metal work or various other forms of expression, is the vivid proof of the existence of a homeland and a people's yearning for it. The Palestinian masses, under occupation or in exile, are gathering, safeguarding and developing their ovvn culture, knowing ful 1 well that the preservation of culture is an effective vvay of resistance to attempts undermining national consciousness. The Zionist entity has not only looted the land of the Palestini- ans, but is also suppressing their culture and what is more,trying to usurpe it from them. But the Palestinians are engaged in a struggle to obtain recognition of their independent personality and existence. In spite of Zionist aggression, the ı oots of a peop- le, deep in the Palestinian soil, cannot be erased. * The Palestinians were avvare of the dangers posed by Zio- nist immigration, much earlier than generally accepted. Throug- hout many centuries, the Holy Land prospered under the tolerant rule of Arab and Ottoman Turkish sovereigns, who safeguarded * This paper was prepared for an international conference in Baghdad (Iraq) in 1979.

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

  • Silent Revolution: Education and Instability in the Gulf Monarchies
    THE SILENT REVOLUTION: EDUCATION AND INSTABILITY IN THE GULF MONARCHIES GAWDAT BAHGAT Since the end of World War II, the global economy has grown dependent on oil supplies from the Persian Gulf. Given the immense reserves in the region, this dependence is likely to increase. The Gulf War of 1991 showed the un- compromising world determination to guarantee the safety of oil fields and shipments. A heavy Western, particularly American, military presence in the region since the Gulf War, has served as a deterrent against any threat to the security of the six Gulf monarchies: Bahrain; Kuwait; Oman; Qatar; Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This alliance, formal and infor- mal, between the Gulf regimes and the Western powers has reduced tremen- dously the likelihood of another full-scale war similar to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. This relative security from an outside enemy does not, however, elim- inate other sources of threat to regional off supplies. For the last several years, there have been signs of growing internal insta- bility in a number of the Gulf monarchies. The domestic environment reflects a fundamental structural imbalance between economic growth on the one hand and social and political developments on the other hand. The former has sur- passed the latter. Due to the huge oil revenues, Gulf citizens have enjoyed a substantial improvement in their standard of living. Meanwhile, social atti- tudes and political structures have changed at a much slower pace. This im- balance in the speed of change challenges the stability of the region. Increasingly, the six Gulf regimes have been unable to peacefully assimilate the growing number of emerging social forces, particularly educated youths, into existing economic and political structures.

  • BRITAIN and 'THE OMAN WAR': an Arabian Entanglement J
    BRITAIN AND 'THE OMAN WAR': An Arabian Entanglement J. E. PETERSON Mr. Peterson is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. and is in the process of completing a dissertation on the political development of Oman in the twentieth century, in which connexion he spent four months in Oman during the winter of 1974-75. He is co-author of An Historical- Cultural Dictionary of the Sultanate of Oman and the Amirates of Eastern Arabia (in print). IN MAY 1954, the Imam of interior Oman, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah al- Khalill, died. His death was followed by a series of essentially minor skirmishes; yet this activity signalled the end to over three decades of peaceful slumber in that isolated and hitherto forgotten corner of Arabia. The conflict between the Sultan of Muscat and Oman and several rebellious tribes of the interior arose in an atmosphere of incipient Arab nationalism, amidst Saudi Arabian claims to al-Burayml oasis, and was compounded by the British-French-Israeli invasion of Suez in 1956. Thus, it is not surprising that the local nature of the events was distorted into a wider question of Arab-British relations in the Middle East. In Oman, the end result was the total unification of a country which had been marked since the early twentieth century by the existence of a semi-autonomous, tribally organized territory in the interior, nominally obeisant to an Imam of the Ibadi sect of Islam.1 Jurisdiction by the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman over this interior region had been limited by the weakness of the Sultans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - creating a situation which had been formalized by an agreement between Sultan Downloaded By: [Peterson, J.

  • America Versus the Middle East the Middle East and New US Military Policies Bahig Nassar
    Appointment in Cordoba 17 America versus the Middle East The Middle East and New US Military Policies Bahig Nassar Bahig Nassar works at the Arab Co-ordinating Centre of Non-Governmental Organisations in Cairo, and also with the Afro-Asian People’s Solidarity Organisation. He prepared this keynote paper for the Cordoba Dialogue. This article examines the relationship between the Middle East and the new military policies of the United States from the point of view of the peace movements. It is based on the concept that, at present, the United States relies mainly on its military power to impose its conditions on the process of globalisation. This serves its interests globally and regionally. If its allies refuse to follow suit, the United States will act unilaterally. Big powers can compete globally with the United States in the economic field, and within the framework of the international division of labour. But they cannot compete militarily, as the United States alone can act globally, while all others act regionally Introduction The security environment, worldwide and in all regions, changed totally with the end of the Cold War and the dismantling of the Soviet Union. A gradual transformation of this environment had been under way since 1990, and led to the adoption of new military policies by George W. Bush’s administration. They are incorporated in two main documents: the ‘Nuclear Posture Review’ and the ‘National Security Strategy of the United States’. Nuclear confrontations in the North between the United States and Russia (the former Soviet Union) have receded. They are now emerging in regions in the South and East, mainly in the Middle East, South Asia and North East Asia.

ABSTRACT The question of Omein was first introduced to the United Nations Security Council in 1957.
