Gidon Gottlieb ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS Ihe rush of notable events set into motion by the uprising nearly two years ago of Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza is impressive. Two decades of near tranquility in Israel's occupied territories were shattered. The intifadeh pro- voked Jordan's King Hussein to relinquish his claims to the West Bank, which his grandfather had annexed in 1951. It led the Palestine Liberation Organization to declare Palestinian independence, to renounce terrorism and to accept Israel's right to exist, which in turn paved the way for the diplomatic dialogue between the United States and the PLO. Finally, in Israel, it led the Likud-Labor coalition to adopt an initiative for elections in the occupied territories for transitional self- rule to be followed by negotiations on their final status. Op- ponents on all sides rallied in an effort to cripple Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's initiative. These events, and more, were crammed into a short period of time, creating a sense of unparalleled passion and fluidity, of fears among some and euphoria among others.

THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT by William A. Gamson University of Michigan November, 1981 CRSO WORKING PAPER NO. 251 Copies available through : Center for Research on Social Organization University of Michigan 330 Packard Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 - ' The Political Culture of Arab-Israeli Conflict William. A. Gamson University of Michigan November, 198 1 Paper presented at Seventeenth North American Peace Science Conference, Peace Science Society (International), philadelphi& November 1981. The .Political Culture of Arab-Israeli Conflict Listen to the -language of Arab-Israeli conflict. The Yom Kippur War. The..War' of Ramadan. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. Zionism is racism. The administered territories. The occupied territories. The West Bank. Southern Syria. Judea and Samaria. Sometimes it is said of a conflict that . it is meiely symbolic. As .if symbols ' were not central to .most conflicts and . fundamentally inseparable from the material aspects. Every conflict takes place in a particular symbolic environment. ' Political discourse surrounding Arab-Israeli conflict draws .on a cat'alogue of available idea elements, and makes use of a variety of .symbolic devices to express these' ideas. This set of' idea elements, org&ized arid clustered in various ways, comprises the political culture of the conflict. This culture is rooted' in time' zind space. '. The political culture of Arab-Israeli conflict is not the same today as it was in 1948. There is one political culture in , '. Israel, a different one in ~rabcountries, and still another in the United States. The catalogue from which the Gush Emunim in Israel draw .their symbolism has no counterpart in the United States.
Threading the Needle Proposals for U.S

“Few actions could have a more important impact on U.S.-China relations than returning to the spirit of the U.S.-China Joint Communique of August 17, 1982, signed by our countries’ leaders. This EastWest Institute policy study is a bold and pathbreaking effort to demystify the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, including the important conclusion that neither nation is adhering to its commitment, though both can offer reasons for their actions and views. That is the first step that should lead to honest dialogue and practical steps the United States and China could take to improve this essential relationship.” – George Shultz, former U.S. Secretary of State “This EastWest Institute report represents a significant and bold reframing of an important and long- standing issue. The authors advance the unconventional idea that it is possible to adhere to existing U.S. law and policy, respect China’s legitimate concerns, and stand up appropriately for Taiwan—all at the same time. I believe EWI has, in fact, ‘threaded the needle’ on an exceedingly challenging policy problem and identified a highly promising solution-set in the sensible center: a modest voluntary capping of annual U.S. arms deliveries to Taiwan relative to historical levels concurrent to a modest, but not inconsequential Chinese reduction of its force posture vis-à-vis Taiwan. This study merits serious high-level attention.” – General (ret.) James L. Jones, former U.S. National Security Advisor “I commend co-authors Piin-Fen Kok and David Firestein for taking on, with such skill and methodological rigor, a difficult issue at the core of U.S-China relations: U.S.
Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at the Jerusalem International Convention Center in Jerusalem, Israel March 21

Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at the Jerusalem International Convention Center in Jerusalem, Israel March 21, 2013 Shalom. Thank you so much. Well, it is a great honor to be with you here in Jerusalem, and I'm so grateful for the welcome that I've received from the people of Israel. Thank you. I bring with me the support of the American people and the friendship that binds us together. Over the last 2 days, I've reaffirmed the bonds between our countries with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Peres. I've borne witness to the ancient history of the Jewish people at the Shrine of the Book, and I've seen Israel's shining future in your scientists and your entrepreneurs. This is a nation of museums and patents, timeless holy sites, groundbreaking innovation. Only in Israel could you see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the place where the technology onboard the Mars Rover originated at the same time. But what I've most looked forward to is the ability to speak directly to you, the Israeli people—especially so many young people who are here today—to talk about the history that brought us here today and the future that you will make in the years to come. Now, I know that in Israel's vibrant democracy, every word and every gesture is carefully scrutinized. [Laughter] But I want to clear something up just so you know: Any drama between me and my friend Bibi over the years was just a plot to create material for "Eretz Nehederet." That's the only thing that was going on.

Members Ramallah is paved with memories, fragranced with the spirits of those who wrote its his- tory. Ramallah remains a witness of an everlasting identity that can never be wiped away. Its generations successively carried the legacy of its founder Rashed Al-Haddadin, who had always desired it to be a model city and strived with his successors towards this goal until it became a national beacon in the era of its knight, the martyr Karim Khalaf, who reinforced its identity. The legacy continued until it was handed to me to follow in their footsteps of Amin Inabi Janet Michael Harbi Froukh Hasan Abu Shalbak Ramzi Abu Aledham Sami Hussary Ala' Abu Ein love and loyalty.

The Roots of Nationalism

HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES 1 HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES Did nations and nation states exist in the early modern period? In the Jensen (ed.) field of nationalism studies, this question has created a rift between the so-called ‘modernists’, who regard the nation as a quintessentially modern political phenomenon, and the ‘traditionalists’, who believe that nations already began to take shape before the advent of modernity. While the modernist paradigm has been dominant, it has been challenged in recent years by a growing number of case studies that situate the origins of nationalism and nationhood in earlier times. Furthermore, scholars from various disciplines, including anthropology, political history and literary studies, have tried to move beyond this historiographical dichotomy by introducing new approaches. The Roots of Nationalism: National Identity Formation in Early Modern Europe, 1600-1815 challenges current international scholarly views on the formation of national identities, by offering a wide range of contributions which deal with early modern national identity formation from various European perspectives – especially in its cultural manifestations. The Roots of Nationalism Lotte Jensen is Associate Professor of Dutch Literary History at Radboud University, Nijmegen. She has published widely on Dutch historical literature, cultural history and national identity.
