  • A Quiet Revolution by Mary Elizabeth King
    A Quiet Revolution by Mary Elizabeth King Twenty years ago, in December 1987, Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem launched a massive nonviolent social mobilization against the Israeli military occupation that had begun in 1967. A pivotal moment in contemporary world history, new political thinking manifested itself in nonviolent action despite the ever-present threat of Israeli reprisal. A decades-long spread of knowledge about nonviolent strategies throughout Palestinian society shaped the uprising. It was not a spontaneous rebellion as many perceived, but a movement by virtually an entire society working to lift a military occupation with the same nonviolent methods used in India by Gandhi, by the U.S. civil rights movement, in the Czech and Slovaks’ velvet revolution, by the Serbian activists who brought down Slobodan Milošević, and by Buddhist monks with upturned alms bowls in Burma. In this struggle within a struggle, a history until now untold, for more than two years the Palestinians refused to use firearms against the Israeli soldiers and armed settlers in their midst. From the 1987 uprising would emerge the most cogent pressure to date to create a Palestinian state alongside Israel, with implied acceptance of the latter’s permanence. Following the incarceration or deportation of the activist intellectuals who had helped bring about the new political thinking that nurtured the intifada, the movement disintegrated into violence. Yet reclamation of such nonviolent strategies is the key to enduring peace in this conflict. The intifada manifested highly significant shifts in organization, political thinking, leadership, and purpose. The Palestinians inside the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 determined in essence to discard a tradition of armed struggle—which included some of the twentieth century’s most notorious attacks on civilian and military targets—in favor of nonviolent methods of struggle last utilized in the 1920s and 1930s.

The two sides are miles apart from reconciling their divergent history. It was obvious that the Israelis were proud to celebrate 60 years of the establishment of their state while the Palestinians were mourning 60 years of tragedy. This is the enigma of history in the Middle East - the presence of tragedy and triumph, commemoration and celebration, Nakba (Arabic for catastrophe) and Atzma’oot (Hebrew for independence). Those who celebrated paid no attention to those who mourned, and those who mourned are powerless to turn their lamentation into celebration. What exacerbated the pain of the mourners was that those who celebrated totally ignored and denied their IN THIS ISSUE Nakba.

La guerra en Tierra santa es presentada como la pieza central de la lucha de ideas a escala mundial, en el contexto moderno decisivo que definen la creciente influencia de los judíos norteamericanos, la declinación de la izquierda, el auge de la globalización liberal, los primeros pasos del movimiento anti-globalización, y la tercera guerra mundial de los Estados Unidos contra el Tercer mundo. Es un intento audaz de vincular varios hilos conductores, en los ámbitos político, teológico, militar y social, y para forjar conceptos innovadores, que provean de nuevas herramientas de análisis y de acción. Al mismo tiempo que apunta a la liberación de Palestina, el autor espera contribuir también a una liberación más ambiciosa, la del discurso público. Estos artículos intentan probar que existe un vínculo intrínseco entre los dos movimientos de liberación. El de Palestina podrá realizarse con la victoria del resplandeciente mosaico que es el mundo sobre la grisácea globalización complaciente, por la victoria del espíritu sobre Mammón, mediante la democratización del discurso global, con la eliminación de la disparidad de las riquezas, y mediante la unidad dialéctica de la izquierda y de la derecha.

    ABSTRACT The Dilemma of Justice: How Religion Influences the Political Environment of Post-1948 Israel and Palestine Sasha A. Ross Thesis Chairperson: Marc H. Ellis, Ph.D. This thesis examines the historical context, ideological traditions, and structures of power that animated relations between Israeli Jews and Arab Palestinians during the twentieth century. Cognizant of the “prisms of pain” that have come to symbolize both Jewish and Palestinian identities, this thesis assumes that identities are in constant flux and are often determined by that which they negotiate against. Its first section considers some historical forces, specific inter-group events, and internal political tensions that intensified the early Jewish and Arab national projects against the British and later pitted each group against the other. The second section examines the values enshrined in the sacred texts of each monotheistic tradition and the extent to which such have influenced the political engagement between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It concludes that because religion can be used as a political tool of repression, a prophetic spirituality common to all three traditions is necessary for any sustainable project of social transformation and political reconciliation.

  • Religious Parties in the Political Systems of Pakistan and Israel1 Malte Gaier, Islamic Studies, University of Erfurt Interdisci
    Religious Parties in the Political Systems of Pakistan and Israel 1 Malte Gaier, Islamic Studies, University of Erfurt Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference on the Middle East, South Asia and Africa Columbia University, New York, April 15-17, 2010 1. Political Legitimation and Ideology The relationship between religion, politics and the nation-state is in this paper closely linked to the principles that create political legitimation and the basic character of a state. The analysis of this entanglement seems to be necessary, especially due to the popular belief that in the light of the de- colonization process Pakistan and Israel, after 1947 and 1948, represent the sole states that after a legacy of British rule came into existence on the basis of religion or rather, only because of their re- ligion.2 This paper is to identify the main principles of legitimation understood as the state's ideo- logy on which these states were originally based but at the same time generated intrinsic tensions for their future development. Further, the framework that allows religion to play an essential role not only in the state's ideological setup but also in society and politics will be defined. Two main factors might illustrate these tensions. Firstly, the concepts of statehood of the movement that pro- moted the creation of the state defined its legitimacy as the dominant agency from the pre-state peri- od to the state formation until the establishment of power structures in which it implemented its agenda. Mullahs and rabbis as “potential rulemakers”3 were accommodated by the cultural mechan- ism of consensus regarding the essence of state legitimacy as a state that had been founded on the basis of universalistic principles, providing different legal frameworks and institutions of law that – in terms of democratic freedom and equality - apply to all citizens.
