Securing the State: From Zionist Ideology to Israeli Statehood.

Diplomacy & Statecraft. Jun2012, Vol. 23 Issue 2, p280-303. 24p.

Between early 1947 and May 1948, the Zionist movement went from being a non-state actor representing the minority population within the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine to establishing the State of Israel, which would be recognised almost instantaneously by the world's two Superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. Such a result, however, was never a given. What processes allowed a non-state actor, the Zionist movement, to secure international acceptance for the creation of a Jewish state in highly ambiguous circumstances? This analysis explores the dual-track adopted by the Zionist movement, whereby it worked to create facts on the ground within Palestine whilst securing support for its state-building project at the international level. By establishing state-like institutions in Palestine whilst building international support, the Jewish Agency was able to secure for itself a unique place from which to declare statehood.

Boycott Israel.

New Internationalist. May2007, Issue 400, p24-25. 2p.

The editorial presents an argument advocating for the active boycotting and resistance to the nation of Israel in response to the oppression inflicted by the State since it's founding. The editor criticizes the foundations of Zionism and supports the secularization of government systems in Palestine, urging the equal treatment of Palestinian Arabs and Jewish Israelis.

The article discusses the social and political aspects of the development of electrification in Jaffa District of Tel Aviv, Palestine (contemporary Israel) during the 1920s and early 1930s by Jewish engineer Pinhas Rutenberg, including its impact on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The impact that Rutenberg's electric power had on creating boundaries between the Palestinian and Jewish communities, including Zionists' perspective on this, is discussed.

The Palestine Option: Nixon, the National Security Council, and the Search for a New Policy, 1970*.

Diplomatic History; Jan2014, Vol. 38 Issue 1, p182-209, 28p, 2 Maps

Were the Palestinians anything more than simply a refugee problem? Since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the USA had pretty much ignored this haunting question. However, as the Palestinian guerrillas’ wide-ranging armed struggle seemed to be approaching a climax in 1970, U.S. policy makers were forced to reassess whether they might also need to view the Palestinian issue as a political problem. In April to May of that year, U.S. State Department officials began to doubt whether the Jordanian regime would survive the civil war then brewing in that country. In response, a strategy paper examining the possibility of a joint Jordanian-Israeli-Palestinian settlement—a policy that would come to be known as the “Palestine” or “Palestinian option”—was developed within the U.S. State Department. Between October and December 1970, the National Security Council discussed various versions of this strategy paper. At the same time, members of the main Palestinian guerrilla organization, Fatah, sent messages to the Americans indicating that they might be willing to enter into negotiations. Why, then, did these efforts fail to bring about a change in U.S. policy toward the Palestinians? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Syria, Precipitator of the Six Day War.

Middle Eastern Studies; Jul2013, Vol. 49 Issue 4, p547-562, 16p

The Six Day War is renowned for its impact on the shaping of the Middle East. In the last few decades, much research examining the reasons for the outbreak of the Six Day War, its development and its ramifications has been published. Most of the research has focused on an examination of Israeli government policy before and after the war, on the Egyptian regime's hatred of the ‘Zionist entity’ and on the involvement of the superpowers during and after the war. Some research has also touched on Syria's role in the outbreak of the war. Researchers such as Eyal Zisser and Moshe Maoz have shown Syria's decisive role in initiating the war and suggest that various factors, such as a lack of government stability in Syria, precipitated the conflict. This research continues, to a great extent, in the line of those researchers: indeed, it points to Syria as being the main factor behind the outbreak of war through an examination of the changes that occurred in the character of its government from 1966. However, unlike other research so far, this attempts to show that the unique character of the neo-Ba'ath regime is what brought war to the region and that, had the Ba'ath coup not occurred in 1966, it is doubtful whether Syria would have entered the conflict. This article seeks to emphasize that the Syrian regime went blindly into the war despite military unpreparedness and a lack of political and military cooperation with other Arab countries and with the Soviets. It also exposes, for the first time, the state of the Syrian troops on the front and in the cities, as well as the feelings of the senior officers on the eve of the war, and reveals documents about the military and political cooperation between Syria and Egypt that would eventually force President Nasser to enter a war he did not want to get involved in. Moreover, the research exposes the deep rift – which many believe pushed Syria to take rash independent measures –between the Soviet leadership and the Ba'ath regime before the war. And, finally, the research exposes the atmosphere in Syria following the war, and the administrative and military steps the Syrian regime took immediately after the defeat in order to consolidate its power.

The Palestinian Issue as Constructed in Jordanian School Textbooks, 1964–94: Changes in the National Narrative.

Middle Eastern Studies; Mar2013, Vol. 49 Issue 2, p280-295, 16p

This article will discuss the school textbooks in history and civic in the elementary and secondary schools of Jordan between 1964 and 1994 and will show that the changes in the narrative manifested in the school textbooks in the course of these years were influenced by the political, ideological and national needs of Jordanian regime in this period and especially in the light of the Palestinian component in the Jordanian society that presented not only a national-ideological, but also a physical and existential challenge to the integrity of the kingdom. The article will show how, in view of the developments in the Palestinian arena, the school textbooks reflect an attempt on part of the Jordanian regime to forge a national Arab and Jordanian-Palestinian identity up to the end of the 1960s whereas since the beginning of the 1970s, the emphasis is placed on a separate Jordanian territorial identity.

THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM THROUGH TAHRIR SQUARE: ANTI-ZIONISM AND PALESTINE IN THE 2011 EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION.

Journal of Palestine Studies; Winter2012, Vol. 41 Issue 2, p6-26, 21p

The article looks at the role of concerns about the Arab-Israeli conflict among the grievances that motivated the Egyptian revolution in 2011. The author takes issue with what she says is the widespread view that the revolutionaries were solely focused on domestic concerns. She says that by 2011 the Egyptian public had long been opposed to the Israel and Palestine-related policies of the government of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and that this grievance, too, helped to spark the revolution. She also argues that political organizing and public demonstrations in opposition to Israeli attacks on Palestinians over a number of years laid the groundwork for organizing the 2011 revolt.
