Book excerpt: "The widely held assumption that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is a temporary situation and that the 'peace process' will soon bring an end to Israeli abuses has obscured the reality on the ground today of Israel's entrenched discriminatory rule over Palestinians. A single authority, the Israeli government, rules primarily over the area between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, populated by two groups of roughly equal size, methodologically privileging Jewish Israelis while repressing Palestinians, most severely in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), made-up of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza. Drawing on years of human rights documentation, case studies and a review of government planning documents, statements by officials and other sources, [this report] examines Israel's treatment of Palestinians and evaluates whether particular Israeli policies and practices in certain areas amount to the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution."--Page 4 of cover.

Book excerpt: "This report documents how settlement businesses facilitate the growth and operations of settlements.

Download or read book Armed Conflict and Displacement written by Mélanie Jacques and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 'displacement' as the guiding thread, the purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it derives from the relevant provisions of international humanitarian law a legal framework for the protection of displaced persons in armed conflict, both from and during displacement. It contains a case study on Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the recent Advisory Opinion on the Separation Wall, and addresses such issues as humanitarian assistance for displaced persons, the treatment of refugees in the hands of a party to a conflict and the militarisation of refugee camps. Secondly, it examines the issue of displacement within the broader context of civilian war victims and identifies and addresses the normative gaps of international humanitarian law, including the inadequacy of concepts such as 'protected persons' and the persistence of the dichotomy between international and non-international armed conflicts, which is at odds with the realities of contemporary armed conflicts.
Download or read book The Palestinians written by David McDowall and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1987-10-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian people are today treated as strangers in their own country and as refugees in Arab States. Despite their rule by outsiders- Ottoman Turks and, from 1917, the British - Palestinian Arabs had always remained the majority population within Palestine. From the late 19th century increasing numbers of Zionist settlers came, driven by savage pogroms in Eastern Europe and later by the Nazi Holocaust. Despite fervent and increasingly desperate protests by Arabs, Palestine was partitioned by the UN in 1947 and much of the area the Arabs retained was subsequently lost to the new Israeli State in the wars of 1948/9 and 1967. Today over 2 million Palestinians live under Israeli administration both within Israel itself and in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, while another 2.8 million live beyond the borders of Palestine, unable to return. Not only have many Palestinians been deprived of their homes and properties, but they have been denied democratic rights and the hope of governing their own country. Lacking the right to determine their own future, they have sometimes struck back in frustration and despair. Tile Palestinians. the new Minority Rights Group report 24, not only outlines the history of the Palestinian people, but their present situation, inside and outside Israel. It gives a detailed account of Palestinian disadvantage under Israeli administration in the fields of law, local government, civic amenities, housing, education, health, employment, industry, agriculture, land ownership and settlement and water allocation, and increasing suppression of dissent. Newly written by David McDowall, with a Foreword by Dr Claire Palley, this report also contains maps, statistics and an appendix outlining the main political groups within the Palestinian movement today. A detailed and accurate account of the Palestinian people at a time when their sense of powerlessness has increased and when their position is especially precarious, this report is essential reading for all those who feel concern for the future of the Palestinians, Israel, the Middle East, and world peace. Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers. Therefore, we make available as much of our back catalogue as possible, while being aware that the language used may not reflect current thinking on these issues.

Book excerpt: The Thin Green Line: From Intractable Problems to Feasible Solutions in the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict by Leon S. Sheleff This book is an attempt to offer an understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an Israeli perspective, one that is critical of official Israeli policy and conventional Israeli thinking. It presents a more comprehensive analysis of the key issues than that contained in most standard accounts, as well as a more optimistic approach than that emanating from most governmental statements and a more comprehensive picture than that reflected in President George W. Bush's "road-map". In fact, the book opens with the suggestion that a road-map is too limited and one-dimensional to handle the many facets of the issue, and suggests the need for an "atlas", conjuring up the idea of a fuller confrontation with the most controversial issues, instead of the continual efforts to avoid an honest assessment of these issues. The intractable problems, discussed in separate chapters, are: - The status of Jerusalem; - The fate of the Palestinian refugees; - The question of Jewish settlement in the occupied territories. It is suggested that the basic issues are often obfuscated by inaccurate descriptions and definitions. For example, the sentimental attachment of the Jewish people to Jerusalem can be easily accommodated within a divided city, since the boundaries of the city have been arbitrarily drawn, covering an immense geographical area with no meaningful overlap with biblical sites. The political machinations and intricacies are described in detail, and an explanation is given as to how Jerusalem can be fairly divided between the two separate states of Israel and Palestine. From the Israeli point of view, the major problem is neither the division of Jerusalem nor the Palestinian claim for a right of return, but the fate of the hundreds of thousands of Israelis (constituting 5-10% of the Jewish population of Israel) who live beyond the pre-1967 border known as the Green Line. The author claims that Israel's present predicament is a direct result of the reckless and arrogant manner in which Jewish settlements were set up on the West Bank and in Gaza, creating friction with the local population, deep divisions within the Israeli social and political system, and a serious impediment to any peace process. The settlements, the author argues, are a consequence of short-sighted political planning, linked to ideological and religious zeal, which, unfortunately, were sanctioned by Israel's Supreme Court, despite the reasoned claims that the settlement policy was in violation of the Geneva Convention. The book suggests new, humane solutions for both the Jewish settlers and the Palestinian refugees. * * * Going beyond the problematics of the conflict, the book offers original approaches to the future interaction between Israel and Palestine. The many diverse contacts between the two nations, living in a confined space formally delimited by the British Mandate, provides a basis for a confederative structure. Such a framework would be a loose one in its initial stages, so as to allow for the gradual building of trust and confidence. A long list of problems, from environmental damage to water shortage, requires the maximum amount of cooperation between both countries. Confederation also poses the possibility of a novel solution for Jerusalem, which would be divided and then re-united. East Jerusalem would be the capital of Palestine, to be known by its Arab name, El Kuds, while West Jerusalem would be the capital of Israel, to be known by its Hebrew name, Yerushalayim. Both halves together would be the capital of the confederation and calle

Book excerpt: This report show, most of the destruction in Rafah occurred along the Israel-controlled border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. During regular nighttime raids and with little or no warning, Israel forces used armored caterpillar D9 bulldozers to raze blocks of homes at the edge of the camp, incrementally expanding a "buffer zone" that is currently up to three hundred meters wide. The pattern of destruction strongly suggests that Israeli forces demolished homes wholesale, regardless of whether they posed a specific threat, in violation of international law. In most cases Human Rights Watch found the destruction carried out in the absence of military necessity.
