This book examines processes of fragmentation that have altered the social dynamics of Palestinian society since the second intifada. With a specific focus on the city of Nablus and its outer laying areas, the book details the extraordinarily personal experience of isolation - namely the physical division of communities through long-term military siege, and the ways that communities have adapted to get by despite frequently changing restrictions. Joshua Rickard shows various forms of isolation and social fragmentation, combined with the uncertainty of everyday life, that have come to characterise the existential experience of being Palestinian. More relevant than how the conditions of fragmentation have occurred is what isolation and uncertainty mean to communities that are severed from those surrounding them. Finally, this book examines the possibility for a reformation of social organisation that transcends traditional political discourses which can be seen emerging from Palestinian communities.

The foundations for a viable, self-sustaining Palestinian economy have not emerged since the start of the Oslo peace process. Economic conditions in the Gaza Strip and West Bank have deteriorated markedly, leaving the Palestinian economy weaker now than it was in 1967 when measured against the advances made by other states in the region.The reasons for Palestinian economic decline are many but turn on one key issue: Israeli closure policy. Closure restricts the movement of labor and goods and distorts rational economic activity. Now a permanent feature of the local economy, closure has resulted in the physical and economic separation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and their separation from Israel, high unemployment, permanent unemployment for a growing segment of the labor force, a doubling of poverty levels, increasing child labor, constrained trade relations, and a growing need for relief and social assistance among Palestinians. Closure has devastated Palestinian economic growth and reform and has made it increasingly difficult for people to meet their basic needs. If closure continues to be enforced, the economic and political changes promised by the Oslo agreements and now so desperately needed in the West Bank and Gaza will not be possible

This book explores the political economy of Palestine through critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives, underscoring that an approach to economics that does not consider the political—a de-politicized economics—is inadequate to understanding the situation in occupied Palestine. A critical interdisciplinary approach to political economy challenges prevailing neoliberal logics and structures that reproduce racial capitalism, and explores how the political economy of occupied Palestine is shaped by processes of accumulation by exploitation and dispossession from both Israel and global business, as well as from Palestinian elites. A decolonial approach to Palestinian political economy foregrounds struggles against neoliberal and settler colonial policies and institutions, and aids in the de-fragmentation of Palestinian life, land, and political economy that the Oslo Accords perpetuated, but whose histories of de-development over all of Palestine can be traced back for over a century. The chapters in this book offer an in-depth contextualization of the Palestinian political economy, analyze the political economy of integration, fragmentation, and inequality, and explore and problematize multiple sectors and themes of political economy in the absence of sovereignty.

This remarkable book examines how the Islamist movement and its competition with secular-nationalist factions have transformed the identities of ordinary Palestinians since the first Palestinian uprising, or intifada, of the late 1980s. Drawing upon his years living in the region and more than eighty in-depth interviews, Loren Lybarger offers a riveting account of how activists within a society divided by religion, politics, class, age, and region have forged new identities in response to shifting conditions of occupation, peace negotiations, and the fragmentation of Palestinian life. Lybarger personally witnessed the tragic days of the first intifada, the subsequent Oslo Peace Process and its failures, and the new escalation of violence with the second intifada in 2000. He rejects the simplistic notion that Palestinians inevitably fall into one of two camps: pragmatists who are willing to accept territorial compromise, and extremists who reject compromise in favor of armed struggle. Listening carefully to Palestinians themselves, he reveals that the conflicts evident among the Islamists and secular nationalists are mirrored by the internal struggles and divided loyalties of individual Palestinians. Identity and Religion in Palestine is the first book of its kind in English to capture so faithfully the rich diversity of voices from this troubled part of the world. Lybarger provides vital insights into the complex social dynamics through which Islamism has reshaped what it means to be Palestinian.

The 1948 war led to the creation of the state of Israel, the fragmentation of Palestine, and to a conflict which has raged across the intervening sixty years. The historical debate likewise continues and these debates are encapsulated in the second edition of The War for Palestine, updated to include chapters on Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. In a preface to this edition, the editors survey the state of scholarship in this contested field. The impact of these debates goes well beyond academia. There is an important link between the state of Arab-Israeli relations and popular attitudes towards the past. A more complex and fair-minded understanding of that past is essential for preserving at least the prospect of reconciliation between Arabs and Israel in the future. The rewriting of the history of 1948 thus remains a practical as well as an academic imperative.

Groundbreaking essays by leading Israeli and Palestinian scholars analyze the system of Israeli power in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. On the eve of its fifth decade, the Israeli occupation in the Palestinian territories can no longer be considered a temporary aberration. Israel's control over Palestinian life, society, space and land has become firmly entrenched while acquiring more sophisticated and enduring forms. The Power of Inclusive Exclusion analyzes the Israeli occupation as a rationalized system of political rule. With essays by leading Palestinian and Israeli scholars, a comprehensive chronology, photographs, and original documents, this groundbreaking book calls into question prevalent views of the occupation as a skewed form of brutal colonization, a type of Jewish apartheid, or an inevitable response to terrorism. The writers address the fundamental and contemporary dimensions of the occupation regime--its unpredictable bureaucratic apparatus, the fragmentation of space and regulation of movement, the intricate tapestry of law and regulations, the discriminatory control over economic flows and the calculated use of military violence. The Power of Inclusive Exclusion uncovers the structural logic that sustains and reproduces the occupation regime. In a time when military occupations are emerging globally, political disasters abound, and protracted control over groups of noncitizens has been normalized, The Power of Inclusive Exclusion provides a new set of categories crucial to our understanding of emergency regimes and identifies what is at stake for an informed and timely opposition.

Professor Ray Bush, University of Leeds This book will prove to be an essential resource for students of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Professor Elia Zureik, Queen's University This brilliant book brings together some of the most innovative and critical work on the political economy of Palestine today. A fascinating collection that makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Palestinian struggle - past, present, and future.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom was established nearly 20 years ago to monitor religious freedom around the world and makes policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress. However, the USCIRF has never reported on religious freedom in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). This report analyzes select issues of religious freedom in Israel and the oPt - issues affecting the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities - under international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and the USCIRF's own precedent. While not a comprehensive survey, the report establishes that the religious freedom violations identified and analyzed are part and parcel of Israeli state policy. According to the Zionist vision upon which the state was founded, Israel is to be a "national home for the Jewish people." That vision remains the animating force behind Israeli law and policy, which seek to establish territorial control over the entirety of Mandatory Palestine and maintain the dominant, privileged position of the Jewish population relative to the Arab Palestinian population. Israel maintains this system of ethnoreligious dominance in part by preserving the unity of the Jewish population - often at the expense of non-Orthodox and secular Jews - while promoting the fragmentation of the Palestinian population along religious lines. The report is in three parts. The first part, "Extending Ethnoreligious Control over Mandatory Palestine," examines state practices that seek to increase the Jewish character of Israel and Israeli control over the oPt, to the detriment of Palestinian citizens and residents. These measures include a ban on family reunification, which since 2002 has prevented Palestinian citizens and permanent residents in Israel from living with spouses who are residents of the West Bank or the Gaza Strip; encroachment on Muslim self-governance at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound/Temple Mount; state support of movements seeking to assert Israeli sovereignty over the Compound and Israel's failure to prevent incitement to sectarian and nationalist violence, including rhetoric advocating the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque; legal recognition and adequate protection for Jewish holy sites only, thereby exposing Christian and Muslim holy places to neglect and commercial exploitation; and restrictions on clergy visas, which interfere with the ministry and pastoral responsibilities of many Christian communities. The second part, "Preserving the System of Ethnoreligious Control," examines Israeli practices aimed at maintaining the unity of the privileged Jewish population, including Orthodox Jewish control over personal status matters of all Jewish Israelis; failing to protect the right of proselytism by failing to prevent harassment by anti-assimilation and anti-miscegenation groups; and issuing national IDs that disclose the holder's religious affiliation, which violates human rights law and fuels various forms of state and private discrimination. The third and final part, "Promoting the Fragmentation of Arab Palestinian Identity," examines Israel's recognition of an Aramean nationality that is not a bona fide religious or linguistic minority as defined by international human rights law and is overwhelmingly rejected by Palestinian Christian institutions and clergy, while refusing to recognize a nonsectarian Israeli nationality or minorities within the Jewish population. The third part closes with a discussion of Israel's refusal to allow its Palestinian Druze citizens to conscientiously object to serving in the military against fellow Palestinians, while maintaining an en masse exemption for Haredi Jews on grounds unrelated to pacifism. This report seeks to bring the deteriorating state of religious freedom in Israel and the oPt to the attention of the USCIRF and the international community.

The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the most intense and intractable international conflicts of modern times. This book is about the historical roots of that conflict. It re-examines the history of 1948, the war in which the newly-born state of Israel defeated the Palestinians and the regular Arab armies of the neighbouring states so decisively. The book includes chapters on all the principal participants, on the reasons for the Palestinian exodus, and on the political and moral consequences of the war. The chapters are written by leading Arab, Israeli and western scholars who draw on primary sources in all relevant languages to offer alternative interpretations and new insights into this defining moment in Middle East history. The result is a major contribution to the literature on the 1948 war. It will command a wide audience from among students and general readers with an interest in the region.
