ePalestine Hamas Website International Center for Religion and Diplomacy | Bridging the political and religious spheres in support of peacemaking Research Documents Behind The Wall (BW) is an online portal for Palestinian youth voice. It provides a platform for teenagers to speak honestly and openly about their opinions and experiences in the Occupied Territories. The BW publication does not advocate any political, religious, or cultural agenda. It merely offers a transparent window into the hearts and minds of Palestinian youth. BW believes that this neutral approach represents the only solid foundation for genuine understanding of Palestinian teenagers. The Israel Lobby and U.S. Contrary to common belief, the material and diplomatic support the United States provides to Israel cannot be explained by the two country's shared strategic or security interests or compelling moral imperatives, argue Harvard scholar Stephen Walt and University of Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer in a recent study.

Sheva If Americans Knew - what every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine Israel Policy Forum | Principled. Pragmatic. Pro-Israel. Centre for Palestine Studies | LMEI | SOAS Centre for Palestine Studies (CPS) The Centre for Palestine Studies (CPS) was established in 2012 under the umbrella of the London Middle East Institute at SOAS. The question of Palestine has long been a fundamental issue to the Middle East with far-reaching global significance. The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most complex and protracted conflicts of our time. All countries across the region are deeply involved with its various dimensions, Palestinian refugees remain the largest body of refugees in the world, Palestine is the theatre of the longest ongoing occupation recognised as such in international law, Palestinian holders of Israeli citizenship have been permanently engaged in fighting for their rights, and a wide range of social and political movements claim to represent the Palestinian voice. For SOAS, the study of Palestine and Palestinians has always been a prominent feature of research and teaching, involving a considerable number of staff and students. Contact:
The Palestine Freedom Project Middle East Progress » The Bulletin Heard on the Street Prioritizing The Two State Solution By Matt Duss TEL AVIV- While President Obama’s speech yesterday wasn’t particularly groundbreaking, I thought it was an important (and overdue) statement of recognition of the deep significance of the Arab uprisings, both for the peoples of the Middle East and for the future of U.S. policy in the region. I’ll confine my comments here, though, to the president’s remarks on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There has been a lot of attention paid to the president’s statement that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.” To be clear, no one is saying that Israel will be forced to withdraw to the pre-1967 lines. This really shouldn’t be as controversial as it probably will be. In a speech of some 5600 words, almost 1200 of them — 20 percent — were devoted to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Again, this shouldn’t be surprising. Background Basics more
