| Content: |
This book tests the relevance for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict on the assumption that democratic countries do not wage war against one another. In the process, the authors address two fundamental questions: Can Israel remain democratic while facing recurrent wars and exercising military rule over a large disenfranchised population? And can the Palestinians become a democratic polity, given the historical, religious, and cultural obstacles they confront?

Many reasons have been put forward as to why the British Government approved the Balfour Declaration. It was a matter of conjecture in Whitehall five years later, in 1922, when the Hon. William Ormsby-Gore, M.P., who was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, wrote a memorandum on the origins of the Declaration for Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Yakov
My parents had come to Israel from Libya in 1952. More than thirty thousand Jews left Libya during those years, part of the half million Jews that left the Arab countries, all of them Sephardim. In Israel they call us blacks, in contrast to the Ashkenazim, the whites. All of us who came from Arab countries at that time are looked on as dark-skinned, rather primitive and uncivilized savages, not like those civilized Europeans. |

Spring is a fleeting season in Israel. Fresh from the winter rains, hills and pastures are cloaked in a lushness that passes quickly. Wild flowers burst into a riot of color, then vanish, and the desert, momentarily brushed with a tint of green from wisps of new grass, lies burnished again by a relentless sun. The sky takes on its summer tone of cloudless, pastel blue. Not a drop of rain will fall again until November.
In the spring, Israel marks a double holiday divided by a dramatic shift in moods, two days in a row fixed in the Hebrew calendar to observe the sorrow of war and the joy of rebirth. First comes the Day of Remembrance to honor the country's fallen soldiers, a solemn, moving, mournful time. Then, at sundown, the sadness is cast aside and the streets come alive in a festive air as Independence Day begins; the Israelis who have spent the daylight hours in cemeteries form circles in the streets and dance into the night. |

| Content: |
The book Ben Gurion and the Palestinian Arabs offers insight into the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict by examining the role of one of its major protagonists, David Ben Gurion. In the forty-two years between 1921 and 1963 - during which he served as Labor leader, Zionist statesman, and Prime Minister - Ben Gurion's influence came to have a decisive impact upon Jewish policy. Shabtai Teveth delves below the surface of Ben Gurion's public and diplomatic stance, examining his diaries and letters and the minutes of closed meetings. On the basis of this new evidence, Teveth gives us a fresh understanding of the man who has long been regarded as harsh and uncompromising, showing that Ben Gurion was in face the ultimate pragmatist, who played the roles of peacemaker and militant alternately and at times even simultaneously.

David Ben Gurion, born in Plonsk, Poland, in 1886, described himself as a Zionist from birth. At the age of three, he learned Hebrew on his grandfather`s lap and began to read the Old Testament before he attended the traditional heder.

A novel about the Palestinian first intifada as seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy. The book is far from being a realistic novel. Apart from many comically exaggerated details, it teems with arcane legends, poetry and preternatural episodes.Itamar Levy is an Israeli author. He published six books in Hebrew, and some of them were translated into various languages. Levy is also well known for his service of locating hard-to-find books, and participates in an Israeli radio show.

At the time the United Nations announced the partition plan for Palestine, there were in existence in the Jewish community in Palestine - the Yishuv, or Eretz Israel, as the community referred to itself - three distinct, efficient, and operational military organizations. One of these - the Haganah - was the underground army of the Jewish Agency, and thus was the official armed force of the Zionist Movement.

On the night of January 2, 1965 three armed men in makeshift uniform and wearing Arab kaffiya head-dress crossed the Jordan River at a shallow ford and made their shadowy way to the Israeli National Carrier water-canal in the Beit Netopha Valley. Avoiding Israeli border guards, they reached the canal and placed an explosive charge of ten gelignite sticks. By dawn they were back in Jordanian territory, exhausted but jubilant - and probably unaware that their act was the signal for the beginning of a new form of conflict with Israel.

| Content: |
In this book Peters demonstrates that Jews did not displace Arabs in Palestine-just the reverse: Arabs displaced Jews; that a hidden but major Arab migration and immigration took place into areas settled by Jews in pre-Israel Palestine; that a substantial number of the Arab refugees called Palestinians in reality had foreign roots; that for every Arab refugee who left Israel in 1948, there was a Jewish refugee who fled or was expelled from his Arab birthplace at the same time-today's much discussed Sephardic majority in Israel is in fact composed mainly of these Arab-born Jewish refugees or their offspring; that Britain, the Mandatory power, winked at and even encouraged Arab immigration into Palestine between the two World Wars; that by disguising the Arab immigrants as "indigenous native Palestinian Arabs," the British justified their restrictions on Jewish immigration and settlement, dooming masses of European Jews to destruction in the Nazi camps.

It was not until this book was well under way that I reluctantly confronted the historical factors underlying the "Palestinian problem." The book was originally meant to be solely an investigation of the current plight of the "Arab refugess," as that subject was then still generally known.
The deprivation of Arab refugees' human rights and the political manipulation of their unfortunate situation were unconscionable to me, particularly because it seemed their plight had been prolonged by a mechanism funded predominantly by contributions from the United States. As an ardent advocate of civil rights I had been in Mississippi during the early days of the Civil Rights movement, to join hands in concern for equality. I'd investigated and written about Ku Klux Klan activities, against the judgment of my editor, who at first felt that such an assignment was too "dangerous" for a woman.
By the time I went to the Middle East, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War as a free-lance writer with a CBS assignment, women were no longer excluded from consideration for such tasks. |

There is no doubt that the Palestinian-Israeli agreement is the most important event in the arena of the extended Arab-Israeli conflict. The repercussions of this agreement will not be confined to the two sides, but will affect all the direct and indirect parties to the conflict, as well as the identity and future of the regional order in general.
With regard to the topic of "Security", a number of questions come up at the strategic, existential and functional level. At the strategic level, the question is: Who is the enemy in the context of the new peace? Questions at the existential and functional levels reflect the security and political issues in the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians. (The Basis for Palestinian Security) |

A mere glance at a map of the Middle East sets off in startling relief the closeness of contact between Israel and the Arab world. The present State of Israel is a narrow strip of land surrounded by four - one might even say five - states whose official language is Arabic and whose populations feel themselves to be members of a single family of nations - a feeling expressed politically by the existence of the Arab Leage.

I ask only for one thing And not for myself alone: It`s for many mothers, and children, and fathers - Not just in this land, but in many lands hostile to each other I`d like to ask for peace. Yes, it`s peace I want. And you, you won`t deny the single wish of a girl. You created the Land of Peace Where stands the City of Peace, Where stood the Temple of Peace, But where still there is no peace... What shall I ask You for, God? I have everything. Peace is what I ask for. Only peace. (Shlomit Grossberg, Age 13, Jerusalem) Related books that may interest you: Kinderen Tekenen Jeruzalem Yitzhak Rabin Farewell Susan in the Land of the Bible |
