Rhetorics of Belonging
Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

THE PALESTINIAN RIGHT of RETURN in INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW the Palestinian Right of Return JEREMIE MAURICE BRACKA*
PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN? THE PALESTINIAN RIGHT OF RETURN IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW The Palestinian Right of Return JEREMIE MAURICE BRACKA* [This article examines the interpretive ambiguity and political obfuscation surrounding the Palestinian right of return in international human rights law. As a bitterly contested site of discourse, it is a topic that penetrates both the Israeli and Palestinian social narratives. Historically, the right of return debate is intrinsically linked to the complexity of the Palestinian refugee crisis, and the conflict over its creation — the right of return is the lung through which the Israeli–Palestinian struggle breathes. In the legal arena, the right of return’s treatment in the resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, international treaty obligations and customary law warrants close scholarly attention. The Palestinians as non-nationals, and as a group of mass displaced persons, face unique challenges under human rights instruments. In the wake of Oslo, and more recently with Israel’s disengagement from Gaza, the right of return continues to be at the forefront of political contestation. In light of the symbolic resonance of unqualified return, this article focuses squarely on the asserted right of the 1948 Palestinian refugees and their descendants to return to Israel proper.] CONTENTS I Introduction II The Factual Framework A Rupture and Return: The 1948 ‘Blame Game’ B The Resonance of Return: Competing Nationalisms 1 Palestinian Conceptions of Return 2 Israeli Conceptions of -

To many it was clear that centuries of Christian anti-Semitic teachings had paved the way for the mass murders by the Nazis and their supporters. These crimes alone, however, could not have shifted the theological thinking of many Christians to such a large extent. Many would still have seen the Shoah as yet another example that Jews are forever cursed. It was the theological shock of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 that challenged the fundamental church teachings and doctrine concerning the Jewish people. -

The Controversy of a Palestinian “Right of Return” to Israel
THE CONTROVERSY OF A PALESTINIAN “RIGHT OF RETURN” TO ISRAEL Tanya Kramer* I. INTRODUCTION The birth of modern day Israel was a result of the yearning and commitment of the Jewish people to return to the land that is sacred to their history and religion. However, the inception of the State of Israel led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were living on the land that became Israel and who now long to return. Consequently, the history of the new state has been marked by a conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, each believing that the land is rightfully theirs. The issue of Palestinian displacement has been unresolved for over fifty years and may not be close to a final resolution. One of the main reasons for the lack of resolution is that the Israelis and the Palestinians have conflicting views on the matter. First, the two sides have conflicting historical assessments of Palestinian displacement and the refugee issue. Second, there is disagreement over the existence of a right of return of Palestinians to the land that is modern day Israel. The Palestinians believe that they have a right of return and that international law supports such a right. Meanwhile, the Israelis assert that Palestinians do not have a right of return under international law, or if there is a right, it does not apply to the case of the Palestinian refugees. Moreover, the various international law sources that purport to embody a Palestinian right of return are often ambiguous and open to different interpretations. -
“JUDAIZED”? Justus Reid Weiner
IS JERUSALEM BEING “JUDAIZED”? Justus Reid Weiner The Palestinian leadership, various non-governmental organ- izations and even foreign governments frequently confront the municipality of Jerusalem (as well as Israel’s national govern- ment) over its purported policy of “Judaizing” Jerusalem. The allegation leveled is that an unacknowledged policy is in place to change the holy city’s demographic balance to the detriment of the Arabs. There is, however, no clear historical evidence to sup- port these claims. Moreover, although the Jewish population has roughly doubled since 1967, when the then-divided city was reu- nited under Israeli sovereignty, the number of Arab residents has nearly tripled. Despite complaints of discrimination, every year thousands of Arab from the Palestinian areas choose to make Je- rusalem their home. Thus is it reasonable to ask—why the con- stant hue and cry regarding “Judaization”? Is historical igno- rance so widespread as to facilitate repeated, outrageously false claims? Are these allegations simply another convenient rhetori- cal weapon that can be mobilized against the Jewish state? Or might it be that the demographic shift isn’t taking place fast enough for Israel’s critics? It is hardly necessary to go back to the reign of King David in Jerusalem, three thousand years ago, when the city was almost exclusively Jewish, to dismiss the frequent allegations that Israel Jewish Political Studies Review 15:1-2 (Spring 2003) 177 178 Justus Reid Weiner is trying to “Judaize” Jerusalem. Indeed, as demographers have demonstrated, during the entire 100-year period that preceded the emergence of the modern State of Israel, Jews constituted the largest component of the population. -
