  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

  • Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications
    Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications BY SERGIO DELLAPERGOLA WHILE PUBLIC DEBATE tends to focus on issues of secu- rity and politics, the past, present, and future of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict are intimately and crucially related to the way demographic variables affect population size and composition. Therefore, a demographic perspective is essential in the search for a resolution.1 The conflict stems from ideological, historical, religious, and political differences that are rooted in ancient cultural traditions. It was during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the two sides provided new symbolic meanings, added new contentious frameworks, and reinforced old disagreements, rendering solutions more difficult. At the core of the contemporary confrontation, two peoples—Jews and Arabs—claim rights of settlement and po- litical sovereignty over the same territory they both view as home- land. The very name of that land—in Arab: Falastin, in Hebrew: Eretz Yisrael—is itself the subject of controversy. Around this principal bone of contention, two additional tiers further complicate the conflict. The first reflects the general hos- tility of Arab societies toward the State of Israel. This regional di- mension has been demonstrated by repeated, direct interventions by Middle Eastern countries and political movements in support of the Palestinian side of the conflict. The second tier relates to 'Early versions of this paper were presented at the XXIV General Population Confer- ence of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, Salvador de Bahia, Session 64, Population Change and Political Transitions (Chair: Massimo Livi Bacci; Dis- cussant: Alan Hill), August 2001; and at the David Patterson Seminar, Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Yarnton, October 2002.

Measurable in qualitative and quantitative terms, the Reagan administration had a transformative impact on bilateral ties, institutionalizing ad hoc forms of cooperation while modifying prevailing discourse to recognize Israel as an ‘ally’ and a ‘strategic asset’ in the Cold War.

The ‘Unofficial A m b a ss a d or for World Peace’ e had no political party, no royal office,• no government Hcommission. He possessed no personal fortune, nor was he backed by any state or corporate interest. Yet he met personally with dozens of heads of state: prime minis- ters, presidents, kings, emperors, princes and princesses—as well as legislators, ambassadors, cabinet ministers, first ladies, governors, mayors, generals, chief executives, judges and other leaders of government and industry. Flying across the globe in his plane like a shuttle diplomat, this private citizen met with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; King Leopold of Belgium; American First Lady Nancy Reagan; Chinese Premier Deng Xiaoping; Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie; Jordan’s King Hussein; Egyptian presi- dents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak; and the emperor, crown prince and seven successive prime ministers of Japan. In between, he met the presidents, prime ministers, and/or kings of Spain, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Bangladesh, South Africa, Kenya and Chile— and ambassadors from dozens more countries. Oftentimes at banquets and meetings between such luminaries and himself, it was the latter who was the keynote speaker or the guest of honor.

  • Rememberance & Research, No. 1, (2016) English
    Introductory Note [3] We are pleased to present the first issue of Remembrance and Research – The Journal of the Israel Oral History Association (ILOHA) – a bi-lingual journal whose objective is to serve as an academic forum for articles dealing with oral history, and to publish reviews and information on the field. Remembrance and Research substitutes the bulletin of ILOHA that started to appear in 2003 as a booklet of eight pages in Hebrew, which gradually grew to 32 pages. The two last issues (8 & 9) were bilingual, and gained audiences and participants from abroad. In view of the higher quality of articles we received, and of the growing interest in the field of oral history, it was decided to publish this journal as a forum of debate and clarification on theoretical and practical aspects of oral history. This journal is designed to serve scholars, laypersons and professionals in the field. The first issue presents to the reader different problems related to oral history in the fields of the Holocaust, politics, military history, ethnic identity and old age. Abstracts: The Hebrew Section The Historian Versus the Testimony: Debates and Reflections Dalia Ofer Prof. Dalia Ofer analyzes the significance of the testimony for the historian, stressing the centrality of oral history in the study of the Shoa, and points out important landmarks in the development of the field. She describes the doubts that accompanied her research on the validity of personal testimonies with respect to other historical sources. She reaches the conclusion that testimonies have to be treated with Remembrance and Research, ILOHA, no.1, December 2015 The editors [4] respect and criticism, exactly as any other document.
