In 1948 Secretary of State George Marshall told President Truman he'd not vote for the president's re-election should he recognize Israel--and warned that the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine would lead to war. More than 50 years later, war rages on, with America giving $3 billion annually in aid to Israel. Has America's one-sided policy led to terrorism on all sides? Liza Elliott, Ph.D explains here the ways the truth about the Middle East has been covered up--and runs contrary to everything Americans have learned. This book examines what politicians don't want you to know about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and the reason Palestinian children find martyrdom attractive. She also discusses ways America has derailed the Palestinian statehood and supported ethnic and religious cleansing--while sidestepping the Geneva Convention. Dr. Elliott describes what life is like inside the occupied territories where America spends $10 million a day to push Palestinians off their land.

A frank and entertaining memoir, from the daughter of Edward Said, about growing up second-generation Arab American and struggling with that identity. The daughter of a prominent Palestinian father and a sophisticated Lebanese mother, Najla Said grew up in New York City, confused and conflicted about her cultural background and identity. Said knew that her parents identified deeply with their homelands, but growing up in a Manhattan world that was defined largely by class and conformity, she felt unsure about who she was supposed to be, and was often in denial of the differences she sensed between her family and those around her. The fact that her father was the famous intellectual and outspoken Palestinian advocate Edward Said only made things more complicated. She may have been born a Palestinian Lebanese American, but in Said’s mind she grew up first as a WASP, having been baptized Episcopalian in Boston and attending the wealthy Upper East Side girls’ school Chapin, then as a teenage Jew, essentially denying her true roots, even to herself—until, ultimately, the psychological toll of all this self-hatred began to threaten her health. As she grew older, making increased visits to Palestine and Beirut, Said’s worldview shifted. The attacks on the World Trade Center, and some of the ways in which Americans responded, finally made it impossible for Said to continue to pick and choose her identity, forcing her to see herself and her passions more clearly. Today, she has become an important voice for second-generation Arab Americans nationwide.

Award-winning author Raja Shehadeh explores the politics of language and the language of politics in the Israeli Palestine conflict, reflecting on the walls that they create - legal and cultural - that confine today's Palestinians just like the physical borders, checkpoints and the so called 'Separation Barrier'. The peace process has been ground to a halt by twists of language and linguistic chicanery that has degraded the word 'peace' itself. No one even knows what the word might mean now for the Middle East. So to give one example of many, Israel argued that the omission of the word 'the' in one of the UN Security Council's resolutions meant that it was not mandated to withdraw from all of the territories occupied in 1967. The Language of War, The Language of Peace is another important book from Raja Shehadeh on the world's greatest political fault line.

Why is the Arab/Israeli crisis such an enduring conflict? Acknowledging the fact that the Israeli government has been resistant to productive political peace initiatives, I seek to shed light on how the traumatic social identity of many Palestinians affects their own prospects for psychic reparation as individuals and as a nation. Applying principles of psychology, sociology, and international relations, I specifically look at the role of Palestinian identity in young male students at an-Najah University, analyzing their notions of self in relation to the trauma of Israeli occupation. Referring to the work of Vamik Volkan, I further endeavor to correlate these experiences of trauma to expressions of social consciousness, with particular emphasis on the transgenerational inheritance of loss associated with the original dispossession of Palestine (al-Nakba). This chosen trauma has potentially profound effects on the regressed society, particularly those youth who are caught up in the same identity conflicts of their parents or grandparents. With the Israeli occupation serving as a daily reminder of this powerlessness, many Palestinian youth seem to be stuck in a perpetual mourning response to their traumatic environment maintaining stringent notions of 'us' versus the enemy 'them.' Although negative perceptions of the 'other' help propagate the antagonistic atmosphere found in the occupied territories, a growing belief in peaceful coexistence has taken fragile root among students over the last few years and questions the fundamental perception that Palestine cannot exist without its chosen trauma as identity parameter. What results is a sort of identity confusion or crisis between believing in the power of political violence as a means of legitimizing the Palestinian nation, or foregoing violent resistance in lieu of social initiatives at binational coexistence. Finding that the oppressive nature of the Israeli occupation stymies student hopes in the adaptive power of Palestinian social development, I conclude that current youth awareness relies on hostility as an identity paradigm, prolonging the emotional enmity inherent to the conflict, yet causing little in the way of actual violence.
