Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Anti-Zionism - Jewish anti-Zionism

Before the 1930s the majority of the world's Jews who were in a position to express an opinion could loosely be considered anti-Zionist, in the sense that they did not actively support the Zionist project for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine or elsewhere. Nevertheless, the use of the expression "anti-Zionism" to describe their attitudes needs to be heavily qualified. In the 19th and early 20th century, for example, Reform Jews of Germany used the word "Zionism" to refer to a political and social movement which encouraged th ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Israel - History

Israel - Historical roots. See also: Kingdom of Israel The earliest known mention of the name 'Israel', probably refering to a group of people rather than to a place, is the Egyptian Merneptah Stele dated to about 1210 BCE. For over 3,000 years, Jews have held the Land of Israel to be their homeland, both as a Holy Land and as a Promised Land. The Land of Israel holds a special place in Jewish religious obligations, encompassing Judaism's most important sites — including the remains o ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Timeline of Jewish history - Post Biblical-history

Timeline of Jewish history - 200 BCE to 700 CE. 200 BCE–100 CE Throughout this era the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) is gradually canonized. Jewish religious works that were written after the time of Ezra were not canonized, although many became popular among many groups of Jews. Those works that made it into the Greek translation of the Bible (the Septuagint) became known as the deuterocanonical books. 30–100 CE Christianity emerges as a movement, and then splits from Judaism. 66–70 CE The Great Jewish Revolt en ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Ahmed Jibril - Break from the PFLP

Jibril broke away from the PFLP because of disputes between Habash and the Syrian government. Jibril has not wavered in his support of Syria, and his group remains based in Damascus. Although for decades the PFLP-GC's ideology was almost identical to the PFLP, Jibril never wavered from his belief that Palestine could only be liberated through military attrition. He joined Habash and other splinter groups in the so-called "rejectionist front," which opposed negotiations of any kind with the Israeli government. He launched a variety of inventive attack ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - President of the Palestinian National Authority - The term

The Arabic term ra'ees or ra'is (رئيس) can be translated to English as either "president" or "chairman". As the status of Palestine as a political entity is controversial, the use of the term "President" to describe the leader of the Palestinian government is controversial to some, as its use may be seen to imply a recognition of state sovereignty. The use of the term "Chairman" is controversial for the opposite reason -- its use may ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - First Intifada - General Causes

As with all incidents within the Arab-Israeli conflict in general and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the context and causes for this event are heavily disputed. Most accounts point to a growing sense of frustration among Palestinians, particularly on the West Bank, but also in Gaza, at the lack of progress in finding a durable resolution for their humanitarian and nationalistic claims after the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the Six-Day War in 1967. The Palestine Liberation Organization had failed to make any significant headw ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - UN Security Council Resolution 242 - Semantic dispute

The interpretation of the resolution has been controversial, in particular the issue of the correct interpretation of Operative Clause 1(i), in which the Security Council calls for Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict. The French version of this reads differently: Retrait des forces armées israéliennes des territoires occupés lors du récent conflit The Russian version вывод израильских вооружённых сил с территорий, оккупирован ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - As-Sa'iqa - History of the Organization

As-Sa'iqa was formed as an organization by the Syrian Ba'th Party in September 1966, but first activated in December 1968, when Syria tried to build up an alternative to Yassir Arafat, then emerging with his Fatah faction as the primary Palestinian fedayeen leader and politician[2]. As-Sa'iqa - Al-Assad Takeover and Purge of as-Sa'iqa. As-Sa'iqa was also used in the Ba'thist power struggle then in play in Syria, by President Salah Jadid to counter the ambitions of Defence Minister Hafez al-Assad. When al-A ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Palestinian political violence - 1920–1987

The attacks on Jews by Arabs predating the establishment of the state of Israel culminated in the Jerusalem pogrom of April, 1920, the riots in Palestine of May, 1921, the 1929 Hebron massacre, and the Great Uprising of 1936–1939. Prominent leaders of the Palestinian groups were Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, who was shot and killed by English soldiers, and the pro-Nazi Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who was deported. According to David Meir-Levi, "From 1949 to 1956, Egypt waged a terror war against Israel, launching c. 9,00 ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Gaza - Naming

In Arabic it is written غَزَّة Ġazzah ▶ (help·info), in the Hebrew alphabet it is עַזָּה, and in Standard Hebrew it is ʻAzza. The word's original meaning is unclear. Some authorities derive it from Hebrew ʻAzzāh "strong"; however, the ʻ in ʻAzzāh is original (from proto-Semitic *ʻzz), whereas the ʻ in ʻAzza derives from original Ġ. The oldest attested records naming Gaza are ancien ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Palestine Liberation Front - Origins

The PLF was originally founded by Ahmed Jibril in 1959, and enjoyed strong Syrian backing. In 1967 the PLF merged with two other groups, the Arab Nationalist Movement-affiliated Heroes of the Return (abtal al-awda) and The Youth of the Revenge Group, to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP was led by former ANM-leader George Habash, but in April 1968 Jibril spilt from this group to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC), which returned ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Gaza Strip - Demographics

Around 1.37 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip. The majority of the Palestinians are direct descendants of refugees who fled or were expelled from Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. By 1967, the population had grown about six-fold, and the Strip's population has continued to increase since that time. Poverty, unemployment, and poor living conditions are widespread, and their causes have been attributed to the extremely high birth rate, disruptions to the economy due to Israeli closure policies since the first intifada, and/or ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Daniel Pipes - Praise and controversy

The Wall Street Journal has called Pipes "an authoritative commentator on the Middle East." MSNBC described him as one of the best-known "Mideast policy luminaries" [2]. CNN referred to him one "of the country’s leading experts" on the Middle East. The Boston Globe wrote, "If Pipes's admonitions had been heeded, there might never have been a 9/11." [3] A 1984 Business Week book review by Ronald Taggiasco stated that "Pipes has handled his subject well. It is difficult these days to address the question of Islam, ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Palestine Democratic Union - Background

FIDA formed in 1990 through a split in Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, bringing with it most of the DFLP structure in the West Bank. FIDA took a more moderate stance than the main DFLP (led by Naif Hawatmeh and based in Damascus, Syria) towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and has tried to establish itself as a left-wing democratic alternative in Palestinian politics. The youth wing of FIDA is known as Independence Youth Union; there are also workers' and womens' groups. FIDA has no armed wing, in contrast ...

An UNRWA administrated refugee camp near Jenin was entered by Israeli forces in early April 2002, as part of Israel's Operation Defensive Shield, an operation the IDF described as intending "to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure operating out of the P.A.-controlled areas". Over the next few days a battle took place between the IDF and Palestinians. At that time, media reports were conflicting as to the nature of the conflict.

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Edward Said - Activism

As a Palestinian activist, Said campaigned first for a creation of an independent Palestinian state and then for a single Jewish-Arab state. From 1977 until 1991, Said was an independent member of the Palestinian National Council who tended to stay out of factional struggles. He supported the two-state solution and voted for it in Algiers in 1988. He quit the PNC over the decision by Yasser Arafat and the PLO to support Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, a decision he considered disastrous to the interests of Palestinian refugees living in Arab ...

Oslo Accords: Encyclopedia II - Suha Arafat - Controversial lifestyle

After the Oslo Accords and the consequent return of the Palestinian leadership from exile in 1994, Suha moved with her husband to Gaza City, where she established and led her own aid organization, and engaged in political efforts to improve the status of women in Palestinian society. In 1995 she gave birth to Zahwa in Paris, named after Arafat's mother, who died when he was three years old.
