Dissertation Advisor: Professor Roger Owen Sreemati Mitter A History of Money in Palestine: From the 1900s to the Present Abstract How does the condition of statelessness, which is usually thought of as a political problem, affect the economic and monetary lives of ordinary people? This dissertation addresses this question by examining the economic behavior of a stateless people, the Palestinians, over a hundred year period, from the last decades of Ottoman rule in the early 1900s to the present. Through this historical narrative, it investigates what happened to the financial and economic assets of ordinary Palestinians when they were either rendered stateless overnight (as happened in 1948) or when they suffered a gradual loss of sovereignty and control over their economic lives (as happened between the early 1900s to the 1930s, or again between 1967 and the present).

  • Isratin: the One-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian
    Isratin: The One-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Ken-Ben Chao War in the 20th Century Mr. John Bickel January 6, 2011 An anxious crowd of two hundred and fifty people gathered and waited outside the Tel Aviv Museum on May 14, 1948. Within the next thirty-two minutes, the State of Israel was formally established. After nearly two millennia in exile, the Jewish homeland was reborn. The next day, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq attacked Israel, prompting the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Within the next sixty years, several other wars would be fought over the Israeli-Palestinian question. Today, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, or Arab-Israeli Conflict, remains a critical obstacle to world peace and stability in the Middle East. Though peace talks have been in progress for decades, numerous issues continue to obstruct success in the negotiations. If a viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is not created and implemented, the conflict will continue to plague the region with terrorism and war. Despite many proposed solutions, obstacles such as Jerusalem, the Israeli settlements, and Palestinian terrorism impede significant progress in the peace talks. With the numerous issues regarding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the best solution is a gradual reintegration of Palestinians into the Holy Land, a relaxation of tensions between the various factions, and the beginning of serious negotiations towards an eventual one-state solution. History In order to fully comprehend the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an understanding of the region’s bloody history must first be attained. The origin of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict goes as far back as the Biblical era.

For many years preceding, the Ottoman regime had exercised despotic control over its provinces (among them Palestine, the common name used for the Jerusalem governorship under the Ottoman Empire) and imposed strict censorship on anything that appeared in print. That period of repression ended in 1908 when the empire’s constitution was restored and, with it, its subjects’ freedom of expression. Jurji established his printing business in Jerusalem’s old city in 1894, for several years printing material in a number of languages before seeking a permit to publish a newspaper in Arabic. But it was only after the Ottoman regime’s constitutional The Jurgi Hanania family. reform in 1908 that the permit was granted Source: Collection of the author and the paper started to appear.

This trend is going to continue. * The most recent reforms of the Palestinian special services resulted in a particularly violent struggle without visible end. * The solution is a peace accord between the largest Palestinian factions and their willingness to control the militants, a task almost impossible as too many radicals hate Israel more than they love Palestine.

One starts from those Jews who are made to suffer for being Jews, the other from the smaller number who are not. In the one case Zionism means the transfer of masses of Jews from countries in which they are obviously not wanted to a country which they might call their own; in the other case it means the re-creation in Palestine of a Hebraic type of life, which will be regarded by all Jews as the embodiment of their own distinctive outlook and ideals, and will thus help to counteract the inevitable tendency of the Jews, when they are not driven back on themselves by external restrictions, to lose their sense of being a separate people. Of these two conceptions of Zionism, the former has the more direct and obvious ap~ C9J ABOUT ZIONISM peal. The fact that masses of Jews are made to suffer for die crime of being Jews and wishing to remain Jews is too patent to call for demonstration; and, while it is true that in some countries Jewish disabilities have been removed so far as that can be done by statute, bitter experience engenders a scepti- cal attitude towards the idea that universal emancipation will provide a panacea for the Jew's troubles.

Acosta ABSTRACT Since the early 1990s, Palestinian organizations have drawn from many sources and incrementally refined the process of suicide terrorism. By making the modus operandi socially acceptable and even fashionable, Palestinian organizations have normalized the deployment of suicide­ homicide bombers. These organizations have optimized the progress individuals take from reasoning and justifying to rationalizing and actually committing suicide terrorism.

  • A Century of Palestinian Nationalism: Modes of Political Organization and Representation Since 1919
    A CENTURY OF PALESTINIAN NATIONALISM: MODES OF POLITICAL ORGANIZATION AND REPRESENTATION SINCE 1919 The first Muslim-Christian Associations (MCA) were formed at the end of 1918. In the face of the British strategy of ‘divide and rule’ and of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which referred to the Arab majority in Palestine simply as ‘non-Jewish communities,’ the establishment of the MCAs was intended to present a united front against the colonial power. Despite the presence of other nationalist organizations such as al-Nadi al-Arabi, al-Muntada al-Adabi, and al-Jamiyyah al- Khayriyah, the MCAs developed into a nation-wide body with branches in many cities. In January 1919, the First Palestinian Congress was held in Jerusalem to coincide with the Paris Peace Conference. The attendance at the Conference of Chaim Weizmann, who presented Zionist claims, was a trigger for the calling of the First Palestinian Congress, in order to submit Arab and Palestinian counterclaims at the Conference. Between 1919 and 1928, seven Palestinian congresses were held. They produced two opposing trends: one calling for the formation of a representative assembly, and another with a Pan-Arab ideology. Concurrent with the existence of MCAs, the Supreme Muslim Council was set up by the British mandatory authorities in 1922. A complex situation resulted from multiple proposals for an elected Legislative Council on the one hand, the formation of the Supreme Muslim Council on the other, and the role of the MCAs and the various Palestinian Congresses. These initiatives reflected conflicting political ideologies that have affected Palestinian politics since 1919.

  • Tracing the Path of Living Stones Local Christianity and the National Cause Issah Kassissieh
    Tracing the Path of Living Stones Local Christianity and the National Cause Issah Kassissieh The Palestine question is the crux of the Middle East conflict, and a myriad of perspectives within that question have been duly explored. But the role of local Christianity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has yet to have its day in the publishing houses. This paper is an introductory attempt to briefly shed light - not on those stones that bore witness to the coming of Jesus Christ - but on the living stones: Palestinian Christians caught in the crucible of an instable environment within the broader context of Arab nationalism. Christian Influence in Nationalist Trends The Christian church was, in its earliest days, one undivided church. The process of fragmentation commenced well before the first Muslim entry into Jerusalem; in 638 AD, 59 October19.p65 59 09/08/24, 10:32 Õ a number of communities split from the central church. There was, however, still only one Jerusalem patriarch and it was he who negotiated with the Muslim conquerors on behalf of the Christian residents in the area. In subsequent periods, however, Christian history in Jerusalem is primarily a history of fluctuating status, rights, ownership and positioning between the Holy Land's various Christian communities. Somewhere near the start of the sixteenth century onwards, the Orthodox Church became generally more influential than the Latin Church, despite brief periods of reversion. The decades of Ottoman control saw the injection of international politics into the sectarian controversies surrounding Jerusalem and the holy sites. Thus, various countries (for example, France, Russia, England) claimed the right to protect subjects The Bible verse Luke 2:14, written in Arabic calligra- that shared their like beliefs.

  • National Identity Development Among Palestinian Student Activists in the Israeli Universities
    Ibrahim Makkawi 19 National Identity Development among Palestinian Student Activists in the Israeli Universities Ibrahim Makkawi Birzeit University, Palestine Abstract: This paper explores the process of national identity development, and closely related themes among Palestinian student activists in the Israeli universities. Informed by the tradition of social identity theory, in-depth qualitative inquiry was conducted with an intensity sample of 35 Palestinian student activists attending the major five Israeli universities. Grounded theory analysis conducted on the open-ended interviews, docu- ment analysis and field observation revealed five dominant themes, which characterize Palestinian student activist. First, national identity was conceived as a cause of involvement in student activism, and as a psychological construct, which was reconstructed and developed through the experience of activism itself. Second, a sense of group relative deprivation in comparison with the dominant Jewish group was prevalent and closely related to the students’ sense of national identity. Third, political party membership constitutes a mid-range identity linking the individual and the collective levels of identity. Forth, women student activists advocated an intertwined feminist-nationalist agenda. Finally, psychosocial development and adjustment was Address all correspondence to: Ibrahim Makkawi, Department of Education and Psychology, Birzeit University, Post Office Box 14, Birzeit, West-Bank, Palestine.
