  • Creating the Jewish State: Projects of (In)Security and the Disjuncture to Price-Tag Violence
    (Re)Creating the Jewish State: Projects of (In)Security and the Disjuncture to Price-Tag Violence Nicola S. Mathie Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations November 2018 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing, which is the outcome of the work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: Nicola S. Mathie Research Award This thesis is the outcome of Research Award Grant Number 1225917 from The Economic and Social Research Council. My appreciation will always be with The Economic and Social Research Council for funding this PhD. Abstract Jewish-Israeli settlements built over the State of Israel’s internationally-recognised territorial borders are sites of contestation. The focus of this thesis is upon conflicts and contestations which have developed between the State of Israel and some of its own subjects, Jewish settlers, over the evacuation of settlement-communities and structures, and other perceived threats to settlement. From 2008, a new form of violence has been enacted by individuals in the settler community. Self-declared as Price-Tag violence, the attacks take different forms. These include vandalising Palestinian properties and spraying provocative graffiti, and throwing Molotov cocktails at properties. Whilst the attacks are predominantly perpetrated upon Palestinian targets, the attacks are directed at the State of Israel. Price-Tag attacks have also occurred directly on Israeli targets, such as Israeli military vehicles.

  • Other Countries: Israel (2006)
    Israel \\'11THTHE INTIFADA that began in late 2000 petering out, and the number of Palestinian attacks on Israelis drastically reduced, 2005 was the year of "disengagement," the implementation of Prime Minister riel Sharon's strategy to leave Gaza and four settlements in the north- rn West Bank. Israeli politics during 2005 was largely the story of haron's success in outmaneuvering and overcoming those opposed to erritorial withdrawal, including his dramatic departure from the Likud, which he had largely created, and establishment of a new political party, i, committed to disengagement from heavily Arab areas in the ter- .Thestroke he suffered toward the end of the year, however, raised )ts about his plans and his new party as elections loomed both in Is- and the Palestinian Authority. Liomestically, the "social gap" triggered rising concern. While the gov- mt's free-market policies had undoubtedly boosted Israel's eco- performance and enhanced the prosperity of many Israelis, the of those living in poverty also increased, raising the specter of 1dening disparity between rich and poor. This issue was likely to s important a role in the 2006 national elections as the question of )rial disengagement.

He concluded, "Westand before a window of unique opportunity. Who knows when we will have this opportunity in the future?" Many Israelis, however, especially settlers and those sympathetic to them, were resolved to stop any territorial withdrawal, and a number of rabbis had declared it against Jewish law to remove settlements.

  • Israel's Disengagement from Gaza
    Order Code RS22000 Updated September 16, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Israel’s Disengagement from Gaza (name redacted) Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary In December 2003, Prime Minister Sharon announced that Israel would unilaterally withdraw from the Gaza Strip; the evacuation of settlers began on August 17, 2005, and was completed on August 23. Disengagement was carried out efficiently, rapidly, and without major violence. Related issues coordinated with the Palestinians included disposition of settler assets and security. The implications of disengagement for the West Bank, the “Road Map,” and a future Palestinian state are uncertain. The total cost of disengagement exceeds $2 billion, and Congress may deal with a special Israeli aid request in the future. See also CRS Issue Brief IB91137, The Middle East Peace Talks, and CRS Issue Brief IB82008, Israel: Background and Relations with the United States. Background The Gaza Strip is 140 square miles, about twice the size of Washington, D.C., and had a population of approximately 8,500 Israeli settlers and 1,325,000 Palestinians. Egyptian forces occupied the Strip at the end of the 1948-1949 war, and Egypt administered but did not claim the territory from 1949 to 1967. After the 1967 war, Israeli civilians began establishing settlements in the West Bank, the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military used force to remove some settlers from the Sinai in 1982, when Israel withdrew in compliance with the 1978 Camp David Agreement and the 1979 peace treaty with Egypt.

  • Hamas from Resistance to Government?
    from Resistance to Government ? Hamas From Resistance to Government? by Paola Caridi Translated by Andrea Teti Copyright © Feltrinelli, 2009, 2010 English translation copyright © PASSIA, 2010 BACK COVER What lies behind the mystery of Hamas? This book provides a first-hand investigation into the movement, with original interviews and a fresh look at the reasons behind the consensus Hamas receives from across the Palestinian political spectrum. Established in 1987 as a resistance organization against the Israeli occupation, Hamas has used terrorism and suicide attacks, it has challenged Yasser Arafat's authority, it has survived the death of many of its leaders. In 2006 it was democratically elected by the majority of the Palestinian people to become part of the PNA government. What lies behind the mystery of Hamas? Why has an Islamist movement gained so much recognition among a basically secular people such as the Palestinians? And why has it not melted away like snow in the sun when the entire West isolated it from the rest of the world? Events have shown that Palestinian political Islam cannot be considered a passing phenomenon, nor is it the product of a single cause: be it the birth of Israel, the occupation of Palestinian land, or the lack of a true Palestinian state. Asking these questions also means providing answers to what has been documented by the news in recent years: the internal division of Palestinians, the desperation of life in Gaza, the lack of a realistic prospect for peace between Israelis and Palestinians in the near future. Paola Caridi’s book tells the story of Hamas using a combination of news and archival sources, describing settings, and giving voice to its protagonists.
