Palestinian nationalism

exploring the Israeli-Palestinian struggles of and for nationalism through a Butlerian lens may lead to valuable insights into the use of nationalism by both Israel and Palestine. I specifically draw from Judith Butler’s Frames of War, to explore how both Israel and Palestine construct their struggles for (legitimate) nationalism in terms of livability and grievability. In particular, I will focus upon the conceptions of Zionism, or Israeli nationalism, and Palestinian nationalism, through the Oslo Accords

development of Palestinian identity: Palestinian Diaspora after the 1948 war, coupled with Jordanian and Egyptian rule over the West Bank and Gaza. The dispersion of the larger part of the Palestinian population and the presence of almost three million Palestinians in occupied territories today have created different conditions for the evolution of identities. These identities remain somewhat distinct despite the Oslo Agreement that brought the PLO leadership from exile to the Occupied Palestinian Territories

The history of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict is so deeply ingrained in both the Arab and Jewish population that the viability of self-determination rests on the recognition and management of past conflicts and disagreements. It is crucial to recognise that both Zionist and Palestinian movements are based on nationalist ideology and both peoples seek self-determination. The argument for self-determination needs to be framed within the historical and political context of the area. Key considerations

Whether it determined alliances, enemies or configuration, the 1967 War laid out the preliminary foundation for its regions future. The 1967 War undoubtedly implemented consequences, and these are what ignited the Lebanese Civil War. The flow of Palestinian refugees Beirut, Lebanon started following the 1948 war in Palestine. The aftermath of this war created

year period. The conflict can be split up into 3 different strands which include: Arab Israeli, Palestinian-Israeli, Western involvement. The Arab-Israeli conflict is the regional conflict that erupts in 1948 when the newly created Arab states invade Israel and is partially resolved by 1996. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the local conflict throughout the 100 year period between the native Palestinians and the Israeli’s, it is still unresolved. Western involvement represents the foreign nations

the empire. The ruling is essential to the current ethnic plight in Palestine, as it was especially in that region, that those regulations were applicated inconsistently, which opened the way for extensive outside investment and led to numbers of Palestinians acquiring lands, while giving them claim to fight the immigrants of the Zionist Movement (Tessler). The modern Zionism dates back to the second half of the nineteenth century and emerged from the nationalist upheaval as well as anti-Jewish prejudice

the control of the Ottoman Empire, to colonization and state building by Jewish immigrants from the diaspora, to British rule through mandate, and finally the establishment of the Israeli state. The rhetoric that was used in both Zionist and Arab Palestinian propaganda created a situation that was very complex under the surface, and needs to be approached with delicate care. Taking this into consideration, as historians it is important to remain as objective as possible when reading documents from both

The conflict between Jews and Palestinian Arabs is a struggle over land that began around the turn of the 20th century. Unfortunately, ever since the conflict began, little to no progress has been made in solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is a tremendous amount of history encompassing the dispute because it changes dramatically depending on which side is describing their point of view and when they believe the conflict started. The United States, Great Britain, the United Nations

caused many people to die and a bunch of problems to occur. The Arab-Israeli conflict had many political disagreements. They were competing for land and competing nationalism. It wasn't caused by religion, where as many other conflicts had been triggered by religion. The Israelis were mostly Jewish but the Arabs were Palestinians and mostly Islamic. Both blamed each other for violence and we're both searching

generation of teenagers’ like Alma, a 19-year-old Palestinian living in the West Bank. For most of Alma’s life she has had to fear for her life and the lives of her family members. What truly stands out about Alma is the deep comprehension that she has about the situation that is occurring around her rather than seeing the Palestinians and the Israelis as two different groups she sees them as one. She believes that at the end of the day that the Palestinians and the Israelis are human beings who deserve
