This campaign seeks to question the very legitimacy of Israel in virtually every aspect of its historical, political, and cultural life, and even extends into international organizations, international media, and the web, with the aim of questioning and undermining the very foundations of Israel’s existence. With a view to providing the international community in general, and readers, academics, parliamentarians, and others, with an authoritative exposition of Israel’s basic rights as a state in international diplomacy, several world-renowned experts have been asked to write a chapter on some of the most central aspects of Israel’s existence and rights. In light of claims by Palestinian leaders questioning the very right to statehood of a Jewish state, we chose to open this book with a chapter on “The National Rights of Jews” by Prof. Ruth Gavison, recipient of the 2011 Israel Prize for Law and one of the world’s experts in the field of nationalism and public law. Addressing the issue of the right to establish a national home in Palestine, renowned historian and author Sir Martin Gilbert, who among other things has written the official biography of Sir Winston Churchill, discusses in the second chapter entitled “An Overwhelmingly Jewish State” - From the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Mandate,” issues regarding the League of Nations Mandate and the British government’s understanding of the Jewish right to a national home in Palestine. 5 Since Israel’s right to establish a Jewish state has been and still is constantly under discussion, Prof. Shlomo Avineri, one of Israel’s greatest experts in political science, has written the third chapter on “Self-Determination and Israel’s Declaration of Independence.” The refugee issue has tenaciously been on the international agenda since 1948, and figures in all the major international documentation. But while this was originally an issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries, as well as of Palestinian refugees, the Jewish-refugee aspect appears to have been forgotten by the international community. Dr. Stanley A. Urman, an expert on the refugee issue who heads the international organization “Justice for Jews from Arab Countries,” has written the fourth chapter, “The United Nations and Middle East Refugees: The Differential Treatment of Arabs and Jews.” Over the years, and despite developments within the peace process, the international community has formulated and insists on reiterating a sort of “accepted terminology” that defines Israel’s status as an “occupying power” and determines that “settlements are illegal,” without any serious attempt to review the accuracy or truth behind such terminology. In the fifth chapter, on “Israel’s Rights Regarding the Territories and the Settlements in the Eyes of the International Community,” I address this phenomenon and point to the inherent lack of accuracy and the way in which the international community has allowed itself to be misled by clichés. Despite the fact that the issue of borders has been agreed between Israel and the PLO to be a subject for negotiation between them in the negotiations on the permanent status, the Palestinian leadership is persistently attempting to dictate the outcome of such negotiations through unilateral campaigning in the international community with a view

ARAB SPRING, LIBYAN LIBERATION AND THE EXTERNALLY IMPOSED DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION HAIDER ALA HAMOUDIt For generations, the United States of America has played a unique role as an anchor of global security and advocate for human freedom. Mindful of the risks and costs of military action, we are naturally re- luctant to use force to solve the world's many challenges. But when our interests and values are at stake, we have a responsibility to act. -Barack Obama, March 28, 2011 (justifying the NATO intervention in Libya). I. INTRODUCTION Contemporary events in the Arab world should cause us to wonder what happened to our commitment to the democratic revolution. Ameri- ca's understanding of its own role in supporting democratic orders is, as a result of the so-called Arab Spring, as confused as it has ever been. I hope in these few pages to expound upon these ideas of democractic commitments and their consequences, which must command greater con- sideration.

  • Jerusalem Between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space Through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin
    chapter 8 Jerusalem between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin Y. Wallach Introduction Jerusalem is seen as an archetypal example of a divided city, where extreme ethno-national polarization is deep rooted in a long history of segregation. In this chapter I challenge this perception by re-examining urban dynamics of late Ottoman and British Mandate Jerusalem, while questioning the manner in which urban segregation is theorized and understood. In the past few decades, there has been a reinvigorated scholarly discus- sion of urban segregation, driven by the challenges of difference and diversity.1 Entrenched segregation between different groups (defined by race, ethnicity, religion or class), or the “parallel lives” of different communities, living side by side with little contact, are seen to undermine the multicultural model of the late twentieth century. At the same time, mechanistic models of integration through urban mixing are increasingly challenged, and it is no longer accepted as evident that segregation is always undesirable. Nor is it obvious that everyday contact between different communities necessarily helps to engender greater understanding and dialogue. Scholars have been debating how to locate the discussion of urban encounter and segregation in the lived experience of the city. Writing on this topic suffers from the idealization of urban cosmopoli- tanism, on the one hand, or, conversely, describing segregation in overdeter- mined terms. To avoid this double pitfall, closer attention to the historical and spatial context is necessary, as well as close examination of socioeconomic real- ities. One suggestion, that I follow in this chapter, is to focus on life histories.2 By 1 This chapter forms part of ‘Conflict in Cities and the Contested Stated’ project, funded by the esrc’s Large Grants Programme (res-060-25-0015).

  • Loyal to Israel: Transnational Solidarity with the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
    LOYAL TO ISRAEL: TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE ISRAELI- PALESTINIAN CONFLICT A STUDY OF LOYALIST TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL 1 Loyal to Israel: Transnational solidarity with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Thesis MA Modern Middle East Studies Leiden University Andrew Graham Robertson Page Student number: 1963023 15 January 2018 Supervisor: Dr. Noa Schonmann Words: 21,676 Cover Photo: Adrian McKinty, “Israeli flags in Belfast”, Adrian McKinty Blogspot, accessed January 14, 2018, http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.nl/2015/04/the-israeli-flags-in-belfast.html. Abstract: The Ulster Loyalist community of Northern Ireland have long regarded themselves as a people besieged by Irish Republican ideology. While lacking international support, the Loyalists have formed a geographically and culturally unusual bond with the State of Israel. Loyalist support for Israel increased visibly during the 2002 Intifada and Loyalists continue to make declarations of support for Israel. Yet, the governing Likud Party in recent years has commemorated Zionist insurgents, who committed acts of terror against the British administration in the 1940s. The Israeli government’s actions have led to criticism from the Her Majesty’s British government, which the Loyalist community aims to stand alongside, to maintain the Union and prevent the triumph of Irish Republicanism. Despite British public support for Israel declining during the past few decades, Ulster Loyalist support for the Jewish State is believed to be one of the strongest in Europe. 2 Contents Page

The editorial cited as examples the open letter signed by 100 leaders and graduates of mainstream left-wing Zionist movements, asserting that ‘ending the occupation… is a principle of our Zionism’ and the group of young British Jews who said ‘Kaddish for Gaza’ in Parliament Square. The Fathom editors believe that the journal can provide a useful platform for this ongoing debate.

  • A Municipality Seeking Refuge
    Winner of the 2019 Ibrahim Dakkak Award for Outstanding Essay on Jerusalem The municipality did not fare any A Municipality better than the rest of Jerusalem’s residents. After the departure of Seeking Refuge: the British forces before noon on Jerusalem Municipality 14 May, we were surprised by the attack of the Jewish forces. We in 1948 left the municipal offices and the bullets all over the city and entered Haneen Naamneh the walls [of the city]. We found on the morning of 15 May that while being inside the walls, the enemy had surrounded us, and bombs were falling everywhere.1 On 26 December 1950 al-Difa‘ newspaper published extracts of a “Detailed report of Jerusalem Municipality’s work after the termination of the mandate,” which was authored by Anton Safieh, a senior employee of Jerusalem Municipality during the British and the Jordanian rule. Al-Difa‘ added the sub-headings: “Facts and figures demonstrate the difficulties it [the municipality] encountered and the valuable tasks it undertook”; “The difficult period that followed the departure of the Mandate government”; “The remnants of the municipality and its finances”; “Gradual restitution of life to normal.” Between mid-May and late November 1948 a municipal council composed of senior Palestinian administrative employees led by Safieh undertook the municipal tasks in Jerusalem after the city’s administrative center fell under the control of the Zionist forces. This municipal council functioned until Ibrahim Dakkak Award for Outstanding 22 November 1948 when the military Essay on Jerusalem is an annual award commander, Abdallah al-Tal, appointed launched in 2017 to commemorate the the first official municipal council under memory and work of Ibrahim Dakkak Jordan in Jerusalem.2 (1929– 2016), former chairman of the The historical account introduced Advisory Board.

  • HHRG-115-GO06-Wstate-Goldphdd
    Written Testimony Mr. Chairman, thank you for convening today’s hearing. A discussion about the Golan Heights today may seem baffling. Increasingly, in recent years, many Israelis have expressed a huge sigh of relief that previous rounds of Israeli-Syrian negotiations did not go anywhere and the Golan remains under Israeli control. They imagine that had these earlier talks been concluded, then in 2011, with the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, the forces of Jabhat al-Nusra, Da'ish (ISIS), not to mention Assad’s own ruthless forces, would have been be sitting along the coastline of the Sea of Galilee, with their weapons aimed at the city of Tiberius across the lake. What has changed today is that with the imminent victory of the forces of President Bashar Assad in the sector of South Syria, new diplomatic initiatives by outside actors cannot be ruled out. Already in March 2016, the U.N.'s Special Envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura, proposed a paper on "Essential Principles of a Political Solution in Syria." The first point of his paper specifically called for "the restoration of the occupied Golan Heights" to Syria. This past February at the Valdai Conference in Moscow, Vitaly Naumkin, the leading Russian authority on Syria insisted that Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights could not be accepted. He raised doubts about its very legality.1 Past US Assurances US recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights would constitute the fulfillment of a series of previous diplomatic assurances given to Israel by past administrations regarding the international status of Israel's position on that strategic plateau.
