Palestinian Arabs have developed a culture of resistance to the state of Israel not only because the latter was recognized as a state in 1948 but also as a reaction to Israeli colonization in Palestine, the loss of Palestinian land to Israel and the lack of any channel to peacefully state their claims and obtain justice. The history of Palestinian resistance and the effect of the war of 1967 among Palestinians are analyzed.
The Times of London on Sunday published an interview with King Abdullah II of Jordan in which the maturing king demonstrated a deft touch in putting pressure on both the new prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and our president. The king's comments - coming two weeks after his Washington visit with President Obama, one day after his visit with the pope and one week before Mr. Netanyahu's Washington visit with Mr. Obama - put heavy geopolitical pressure on Israel while simultaneously maximizing Mr. Obama's personal stakes in success or failure of this newest Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's first official trip to the Middle East left many Arabs convinced that she is more interested in repairing U.S. relations with Iran than in resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. I don't believe the Middle East is actually [President] Obama's priority," said Nader Saeed, a professor of sociology at the West Bank-based Birzeit University. "I believe East Asia and the axis of Afghanistan-Pakistan-Iran will be the stronger link in the chain.
Haj [AMIN] el-Husseini, the universally recognized leader ("Grand Mufti," as he called himself) of Palestinian Arabs and, in the eyes of [Adolf Hitler], who called him "the Moslem Pope," of the whole Moslem world, was negotiating amiably with the Nazi leadership. In return, he wanted Hitler's commitment to "solve" the problem of Jewish minorities in all Arab countries by applying the same racial ideology and methods being used to "solve" the problem in the territories controlled by the Nazis. Instead, he kept telling his fellow-Arabs that the Allies planned to turn North Africa into "a second Jewish homeland" to which they would bring not only the remainder of European Jewry but also "some of the Jews and Negroes from America.
There is also a question of whether the Palestinian Arabs and their leaders, or the regimes that rule other Arab countries, really want a Palestinian state as opposed to the destruction of Israel, or at least an excuse to continue using the Jewish state as a scapegoat. [...] the Nazis were not the most recent persecutors of Jews.
JERUSALEM - The cranes and bulldozers building a barrier to suicide bombers in and around this disputed city are also raising barricades to the Palestinian dream of a contiguous state with east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel says security needs have forced it to build 50 miles of 25- foot-high concrete walls and electric fences in and around parts of Jerusalem.
Rekhess examines the changing nature of mutual images of Arabs and Jews in Israel. The relationship between Jews and Arabs in Israel have undergone significant changes since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, in response to internal socioeconomic developments within Israel, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and armed confrontations between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

Opaque and fungible assets freed up by massive yearly US foreign aid to Israel are pouring into settlement development and infrastructure building designed to partition key Palestinian territories and annex others to the state of Israel. US nonprofits are directly and indirectly financing the coordination of illegal settlement building, encroachment, and violence against Palestinians. Recently disclosed charitable contributions from US lobbyist Jack Abramoff laundered to finance violent armed Israeli activity in the Palestinian territories is only the tip of the iceberg. Considered against the findings of a groundbreaking new study revealing the causes of suicide terrorism, Americans must confront a disturbing question: "Are tax exempt donations from the US generating terrorist retaliat...
