| Summary / Abstract (Note) | T he issue of legitimacy in the Z ionist-P alestinian dispute consists of three interwoven aspects: 1) self-legitimacy, which obviously has characterized both national movements; 2) the legitimate rights of the otherâ??which were mutually denied for long periods of time; and 3) international legitimacy, which was roughly divided for a long time between the Western-Christian world that backed the Zionist claim, and the Arab and Muslim countries that identified with the Palestinian cause.
While a full symmetry has been maintained between the two national movements regarding their own legitimate rights, changes have taken place regarding mutual recognition and the position of the international community. |
