| Summary/Abstract |
The Jewish national movement convened under the Zionist Congress, and the Palestinian national movement did so under the umbrella of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The two movements were largely secular and inspired by the national discourse that swept across Europe in the 19th century and into the Middle East following World War I. In their international advocacy, the leaderships of the two rival movements have consistently and repeatedly cited articles from international law, which recognizes the legitimacy of the right to self-determination of both peoples west of the Jordan (from the recommendations of the Peel Commission through United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 to United Nations Security Council Resolution 242), often cherry-picking those articles that would support their unilateral actions. To mobilize their grassroots base, historical circumstances of persecution and plight were emphasized, and though they were objectively entirely different, they granted both movements a similar sense of urgency.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines how Jordan's position vis-vis the Palestinians has evolved in the aftermath of the military showdown in 1970. Time and again, Jordan sought to speak for the Palestinians at the expense of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). However, to the chagrin of the Jordanian monarch, the PLO won the battle over representing the Palestinians. Hence, the classical Jordanian school of thought that viewed the occupied territories as part of Jordan, gave way to the emergence of a more assertive school that views the establishment of an independent Palestinian state to be in the best interest of Jordan. For this reason, Jordan digs in its heels and refuses calls for confederation with the Palestinians. Indeed, Jordan has been active in creating a momentum for a two-state solution to bring the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to an end. It remains to be seen, however, how Jordan and the Palestinians will relate in case a two-state solution does not materialize

| Summary/Abstract |
The fact that after over 20 years of fruitless negotiations the Palestinians have chosen an internationalization strategy to try to achieve national independence is considered by the current Israeli government and its supporters to be illegitimate “unilateral action” that bypasses the need for bilateral negotiations with Israel to resolve the conflict. What those opponents of internationalization are conveniently forgetting is the major role that internationalization has played in Israeli history.
