Book excerpt: A cri de coeur or fully imagined poem on the myth and history of Jerusalem/Al-Quds from the author revered as the greatest living Arabic poet At the age of eighty-six, Adonis, an Arabic poet with Syrian origins, a critic, an essayist, and a devoted secularist, has come out of retirement to pen an extended, innovative poem on Jerusalem/Al-Quds. It is a hymn to a troubled city embattled by the conflicting demands of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Adonis's city, as a coveted land, ought to suggest the universal love of humanity; as a land of tragedy, a place of contending history and beliefs, and a locus of bitterness, conflict, hatred, rivalry, and blood. Wrapping multiple voices, historical references, and political viewpoints within his ecstatic lyricism, Adonis has created a provocative work of unique beauty and profound wisdom, beautifully rendered in English by award-winning poet Khaled Mattawa.
Download or read book Al Quds History Religion and Politics written by Muhittin Ataman and published by SET Vakfı İktisadi İşletmesi. This book was released on 2019-10-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial decision of U.S. President Donald Trump to formally recognize the Holy City of al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel overturned decades of official U.S. policy. This decision resulted in moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on the eve of the Palestinian commemoration of 70 years of the Nakbah (Catastrophe) on May 15, 2018, during which Palestinians have been suffering persecutions, massacres, and ethnic cleansing. Not only is this decision against international law, but it is also in direct conflict with a number of resolutions by the UN Security Council. It brings an end to the two-state solution, which the international community has been trying to achieve for a long time. Moreover, this action is a practical step of the “Deal of the Century” which the Trump administration is trying to impose in the region. These developments require urgent publications to address different dimensions of this delicate issue, which lies at the heart of most of the regional problems. In order to develop a better understanding of this issue and other related regional problems, it is necessary to produce inclusive materials about the city. Accordingly, at this critical time, we have designed this edited book to provide a better understanding of this core issue to intellectuals, academics, politicians, and the wider public interested in the Holy Land.

Download or read book The Eminent Rank of Al Quds written by Wahbah Az-Zuhayli and published by Nawa Books. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current age, al-Quds is the world's intractable puzzle, with the Jews holding onto it and the Muslims and Arabs being even more steadfast. Can diplomatic means solve this puzzle? This book looks at the historical record as well as the facts on the ground, from ancient times through to today. Not only does history show that the Zionist claims to al-Quds are weak, but Israeli actions in this age, the murders, massacres, terrorism, destruction, and the expulsion of the Arab inhabitants through various means, prove and demonstrate that they should not have control or authority over it. They are not worthy of it and they have proven themselves unworthy. In this book, you will find convincing and conclusive responses to Zionist claims, backed up by objective, demonstrative, academic research regarding the conditions of al-Quds and its inhabitants. It underscores its sanctity to the followers of the three religions present there and assures everyone of their right to practice their rituals under Arab-Islamic sovereignty, with Arabs having priority in its administration, due to their initial settling and then residing and ruling there for millennia, before Islam and after, and because of their magnanimity towards the followers of all three religions. The book firmly rejects the idea of internationalizing al-Quds, emphasising its deep Arab and Islamic roots and its integral part of the Muslims' creed, as explicitly stated in the Quran. It also examines the historical Islamic-Arab presence in al-Quds over those millennia and in accordance with contemporary international law.

Download or read book Palestinian Leadership on the West Bank RLE Israel and Palestine written by Moshe Maoz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Bank has for generations been the core area of the Palestinian-Arab community and of its national movement. Since 1967, it has become the main area of confrontation in the prolonged conflict between Palestinian-Arab and Jewish-Zionist nationalism. The Palestinian armed organization, the PLO – which has undertaken to lead the nationalist struggle of their people – was for long periods unable to operate on the West Bank because of strict security measures taken by the Jordanian and Israeli governments respectively. Consequently, the Palestinian mayors in the West Bank, who under Jordanian rule (1948-1967) had served as ruling instruments of the government, gradually became under Israeli control the political spokesmen of their communities. This book, first published in 1984, examines this remarkable change in the role of the West Bank Palestinian mayors, and their transformation since the early 1970s from conservative-moderate figures into radical-nationalist leaders. Against the background of the developing Palestinian and Israeli militant nationalism in the West Bank, the study analyses the complex relations between these new leaders and the governments of Israel and Jordan as well as the PLO command, until their final eviction by Israel in 1982.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tel Aviv, Israele. Issa pratica jogging lungo la Corniche verso Jaffa mentre ascolta musica jazz nelle cuffie. All’improvviso è prelevato da due Sabra e portato al cospetto di un misterioso personaggio detto Il Vecchio, suo mentore sin dai tempi dell’addestramento militare. Un ricco armatore cipriota è stato trovato morto nella sua casa di Bruxelles, la cassaforte svaligiata di preziosi reperti archeologici. I reperti, frammenti dei Rotoli di Qumran, sono di interesse nazionale. Issa è incaricato di ritrovarli. Il percorso è ad alto rischio. Decrittare i Rotoli potrebbe riscrivere la storia delle religioni monoteiste. Dopo avere lasciato il servizio attivo da guardia di frontiera, un lutto ne ha compromesso la tenuta, Issa bin Ahmed si reinventa investigatore privato. Questo è il suo primo caso importante. Non è facile liberarsi dalle scorie del passato. Le violenze lo seguono nella nuova veste. La Terra Santa e l’Europa scrivono troppa storia per liberarsene con una lettera di dimissioni. Cosimo Risi nasce a Salerno e vive a Roma. Da diplomatico di carriera ha vissuto nei luoghi fra Europa e Medio Oriente, di cui scrive. Docente universitario e commentatore di relazioni internazionali, qui si cimenta per la prima volta con il romanzo a stampa, dopo alcuni racconti pubblicati on-line. Are you Going to al-Quds? (Stai andando alla Città Santa?) mutua il titolo dal pezzo jazz di Pat Metheny che l’investigatore del romanzo ascolta in cuffia. È la prima puntata della serie Jazz Investigation con Issa bin Ahmed. La citazione da Il grande sonno è l’omaggio riverente a Raymond Chandler, il Maestro.
Download or read book Symbolism in Terrorism written by Jonathan Matusitz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symbolic value of targets is what differentiates terrorism from other forms of extreme violence. Terrorism is designed to inflict deep psychological wounds on an enemy rather than demolish its material ability to fight. The September 11, 2001 attacks, for example, demonstrated the power of symbolism. The World Trade Center was targeted by Al Qaeda because the Twin Towers epitomized Western civilization, U.S. imperialism, financial success, modernity, and freedom. The symbolic character of terrorism is the focus of this textbook. A comprehensive analysis, it incorporates descriptions, definitions, case studies, and theories. Each chapter focuses on a specific dimension of symbolism in terrorism and explains the contexts and processes that involve the main actors as well as the symbolism of both the purposes and targets of terrorism. Also discussed are new religious movements, which represent another important aspect of terrorism, such as Aum Shinrikyo, the Japanese cult that used sarin gas in the Tokyo subway in 1995. Over forty areas of symbolism are covered throughout the chapters, including physical and non-physical symbolism, linguistic symbolism, the social construction of reality, rituals, myths, performative violence, iconoclasm, brand management, logos, semiotics, new media, and the global village. This allows for an in-depth examination of many issues, such as anti-globalization, honor killing, religious terrorism, suicide terrorism, martyrdom, weapons, female terrorism, public communication, visual motifs, and cyberspace. Main concepts are clearly defined, and followed by theory illustrated by international case studies. Chapter summaries, key points, review questions, research and practice suggestions are recurring components as well. This groundbreaking text encompasses all major aspects of symbolism in terrorism and will be an essential resource for anyone studying terrorism.
Download or read book Islam Jews and the Temple Mount written by Yitzhak Reiter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the first comprehensive survey of the abundant early Islamic sources that recognize the historical Jewish bond to the Temple Mount (Masjid al-Aqsa) and Jerusalem. Analyzing these sources in light of the views of contemporary Muslim religious scholars, thinkers and writers, who – in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict – deny any Jewish ties to the Temple Mount and promote the argument that no Jewish Temple ever stood on the Temple Mount. The book describes how this process of denying Jewish ties to the site has become the cultural rationale for UNESCO decisions in recent years regarding holy sites in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron, which use Muslim Arabic terminology and overlook the Jewish (and Christian) history and sanctification of these sites. Denying the Jewish ties to the Temple Mount for political purposes inadvertently undermines the legitimacy of Islam’s sanctification of Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock as well as the credibility of the most important sources in Arabic, which constitute the classics of Islam and provide the foundation for its culture and identity. Identifying and presenting the Jewish sources in the Bible, Babylonian Talmud and exegesis on which these Islamic traditions are based, this volume is a key resource for readers interested in Islam, Judaism, religion and political science and history in the Middle East.
Download or read book Documents on the Arab Israeli Conflict written by M Cherif Bassiouni and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 1259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

When different aspects recurred in a number of UN resolutions, only the main document is included, while others are referred to. The compilation is not only about Palestinian issues. It includes all relevant documents between Arab states and Israel, from the armistice agreements (1949), to the peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994), as well as their protocols and other documents that derive from these treaties. The subject-matter content is as varied as the legal and political issues presented by this conflict. It includes geographical boundaries, refugees, water rights, regional security, elimination of weapons of mass destruction, and, of course, human rights and peace. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint. The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9781571052902).
