Defense of Al-Aqsa: the Islamic movement inside Israel and the battle for Jerusalem / Larkin, Craig; Dumper, Michael   Journal Article
Dumper, Michael Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The past ten years have witnessed the collapse of Palestinian political authority and leadership in East Jerusalem. Evidence suggests that the Islamic Movement is beginning to fill this vacuum from within Israel. This article examines the growing involvement of the Islamic Movement of Israel in Jerusalem, both in terms of discourse and specific facts on the ground. It explores how the al-Aqsa mosque has been employed, particularly by Shaykh Ra'id Salah, as a symbol for political empowerment, a site for public contestation, and a focus for religious renewal. It debates whether their presence should be perceived as a growing strategic threat, part of an Islamizing trend, or rather as a consequence of weak local leadership, the unintended consequences of the separation wall and the non-recognition of the Hamas government.

Pantheonizing the Jerusalem Haram: from Pan-Islamic to a national Palestinian pantheon / Reiter, Yitzhak   Journal Article
Reiter, Yitzhak Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Analyzing the initiative to establish an Islamic–Arab–Palestinian pantheon in the holiest place in Jerusalem against the background of the Arab–Jewish conflict in Palestine, this article discusses the transformation of the Haram pantheon from an all-Islamic burial place to a Palestinian national one in which the Husayni family was given priority. Understanding decision-making regarding who was entitled to be buried in this special place is the main focus of the article. The eight personalities who were buried at the Haram signify different motivations according to the authority in charge of allowing the burial in the Haram, family ties and networks and the political needs of the Arabs of Palestine as well as the Hashemites.

Role of Palestinian domestic actors and political elites in institutionalizing the state of Palestine / Litvinova , E   Article
Litvinova , E Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract THE ISSUE OF PALESTINE is unique, and not only because it is part and parcel of the Middle East conflict and attempts to solve it. The study of the experience of the political institutionalization of the Arab Palestinian territories, of the structuring of Palestinian political processes, of the activities and split of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), and of the record of the international community as the "architect" of modern Palestine makes it possible to evaluate the roles of Palestinian domestic actors and political elites, understand internal and external factors in building new states in the Middle East, and assess the effectiveness of proposed systems of political organization.
