Summary/Abstract |
The recent decision of the Arab League foreign ministers (Nov. 12, 2011) to suspend Syria's membership in the Arab League was interpreted by observers as the last act before international intervention in Syria; the same had happened earlier in Libya. But the Arab League's decision came after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad failed to understand the course of events in his country in light of what had happened in other rebelling Arab countries, leaving the Arab League countries with no option but to ask the Security Council to adopt the Arab initiative and impose sanctions against the Syrian regime. Such a decision by the Arab League in the past opened the door for NATO intervention in Libya and eventually may serve to allow outside intervention in Syria as well.

Summary/Abstract |
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict does not date from today or the 1967 war; it goes back to the 1930s and 1940s when the Zionist movement stepped up its efforts to bring Jewish immigrants to Palestine, thus setting the stage for a future confrontation with the Palestinian Arabs. This confrontation had its full expression in the 1948 war, as a result of which the state of Israel was created and more than two-thirds of the Palestinians were uprooted from their homeland and became refugees. The international community failed then and has continued to fail so far to resolve this problem, and General Assembly Resolution 194 remains largely a symbol of the Palestinians' demand to be allowed to return to their homes and lands in what became known as Israel. Since then, any discussion revolving around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict switches immediately to a discussion of the Palestinians' right to return

Summary/Abstract |
The issue of land is at the core of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict. For a long time efforts aimed at achieving a settlement to the conflict were based on the principle of 'land for peace' meaning that if Israel withdraws from the occupied Arab territories, including the occupied Palestinian land, the Arabs will make peace with Israel.

Summary/Abstract |
Ever since November 1947, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, known as “the Partition Plan” — calling for the establishment of “Independent Arab and Jewish states” along with a special international status (corpus separatum) for Jerusalem and an economic union in what had been Palestine under the British Mandate — the two-state paradigm has been the accepted international formula for resolving the conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Jews in Palestine.

Summary/Abstract |
The recently passed Jewish Nation-State Law lays the constitutional cornerstone of Israel’s attitude and behavior toward the Palestinians, both those who remained after the 1948 War — the Nakba — where they had been living before the creation of Israel and became Israeli citizens, and those living in the Palestinian Occupied Territories (OPT). Although the law in its entirety is anti-Arab, anti-democratic and discriminatory against Arabs and their culture, there are two elements in that law that affect critical aspects of the relations between Palestinian Arabs and Jews.

Summary/Abstract |
The Israeli High Court’s decision, issued April 15, 2015, to apply the Absentee Property Law of 1950 to properties in East Jerusalem owned by Palestinians living in the West Bank, considering them absentee property, is nothing more than another tool to allow the occupation to loot Palestinian property, in the West Bank in general and in Jerusalem in particular, for the benefit of Jewish Israeli citizens.

Summary/Abstract |
We live in a dynamic world, and in this region the pace of change is only accelerating. Future analyses and predictions must take this expected change into account and must not be reduced to mere extrapolations from things as they are now. All possibilities must be examined, and plans should be drawn for all scenarios that might arise. Despite the changes on the ground, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and the broader Middle East, there are Palestinians, Israelis, Americans and Europeans still talking about the two-state solution, or the resumption of negotiations. It is as if they are isolated from reality and don’t know that Jewish settlement activities in the OPT have killed every opportunity for a political solution based upon the option of the two-state solution, and that the entire Middle East is going through a drastic process of change which has not yet matured. Israel’s continued disengagement from the political process is the outcome of the fact that Israeli society is undergoing an utterly unbalanced social and religious ideological change, in which all it sees is the fulfillment of the Zionist dream with complete denial and contempt for non-Jews in general and the Palestinians in particular.
