Cheshin, Amit. Separate and Unequal: The Inside Story of Israeli Rule in East Jerusalem. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 1999. 275 p.
"The authors, Jerusalemites from the spheres of politics, journalism, and the military, have themselves been players in the drama that has unfolded in east Jerusalem in recent years and appears now to be at a climax. They have also had access to a wide range of official documents that reveal the making and implementation of Israeli policy toward Jerusalem. Their book discloses the details of Israel's discriminatory policies toward Jerusalem Arabs and shows how Israeli leaders mishandled everything from security and housing to schools and sanitation services, to the detriment of not only the Palestinian residents but also Israel's own agenda. Separate and Unequal is a history of lost opportunities to unite the peoples of Jerusalem." "A central focus of the book is Teddy Kollek, the city's outspoken mayor for nearly three decades, whose failures have gone largely unreported until now. But Kollek is only one character in a cast that includes prime ministers, generals, terrorists, European and American leaders, Arab shopkeepers, Israeli policemen, and Palestinian schoolchildren. The story the authors tell is as dramatic and poignant as the mosaic of religious and ethnic groups that call Jerusalem home. And coming at a time of renewed crisis, it offers a startling perspective on past mistakes that can point the way toward more equitable treatment for all Jerusalemites."--BOOK JACKET.

"Since it emerged as a challenger to the PLO during the Palestinian Intifada, Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) has been associated in the public mind with terror and violence. Now two Israeli experts show that, contrary to its image, Hamas is essentially a social and political movement, providing extensive community services and responding constantly to political realities through bargaining and power brokering. The authors lift the veil on Hamas's strategic decision-making methods at each of the crucial crossroads it has confronted: the Intifada and the struggle with the PLO, the Oslo accords and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority, and the dilemmas surrounding the choice between absolute Jihad against Israel versus the option of controlled violence."--BOOK JACKET.

"After You." "No, After You." Economist 367:43-44 April 12, 2003.
Both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority (PA) say they want the as-yet-unpublished peace plan to succeed, but they do not agree on what it should say. The PA wants Israel to withdraw its troops from Palestinian areas, freeze the building of new Jewish settlements on Palestinian land, and end its policy of assassinating militants. PA officials argue that Israel should do these things "in parallel" with Palestinian action to curb violence and reforms of the way the PA governs the areas it is in charge of.

Article argues that Israel's attempt to kill Abdel-Aziz Rantisi, a Hamas political leader, has killed the hopes for peace. Dr Rantisi had been on Israel's list of targets for some time, and that there was intelligence evidence pointing to his involvement in Hamas's terrorist activities, including responsibility for the ambush on the soldiers in Gaza, which had been claimed by the al-Aqsa Brigades, a militia linked to Fatah, as well as by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Can the Dangerous Vacuum in Gaza be Peacefully Filled? Economist 371:41-42 May 22, 2004.
Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, said he would unilaterally "disengage" from the coastal Gaza strip. But his own Likud party rejected his plan in a referendum. A report from Amnesty International claims that many of Israel's actions were not only illegal but had failed, so far, to give it security. Combined with Israel's decision since the beginning of the intifada to bar almost all Palestinians in the occupied territories from taking jobs in Israel, to minimize the risk of suicide attacks, such actions have reduced two-thirds of Gaza's 1.3 million Palestinians to penury--and have destroyed the PA's authority.

Aburish, Said K. Arafat: From Defender to Dictator. New York, Bloomsbury, 1998. 360 p.
"Beginning with Arafat's murky background, which the man himself has surrounded in pretense, and moving to his assumption of the leadership of Fatah and subsequently the PLO in the 1960s, Aburish exposes the unsound foundations of Arafat's primacy and shows that the PLO has never been a revolutionary movement; rather Arafat and the PLO have always represented the Palestinian elite and the conservative Arab regimes. Moreover, Aburish discovered from hitherto silent but impeccable sources that since 1973, when Arafat first established contact with the CIA in Beirut, the PLO has conducted a secret dialogue with the US, amounting to a betrayal of its people - in effect an agreement to reach a peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict without deferring to the Palestinian people."--BOOK JACKET.

Rubinstein, Danny. The Mystery of Arafat. South Royalton, VT, Steerforth Press, 1995. 140 p.
"When Yasser Arafat first appeared on the international stage following the 1967 Six-Day War, he was called a bloody terrorist. When the Israeli army drove him from Beirut in 1984, he was dismissed as a broken, marginalized figure. When the grass-roots Intifada broke out in the occupied territories in 1987, Arafat, from his outpost in Tunis, was able to portray himself as leader of the movement. And when secret talks started between the Israelis and Palestinians in Oslo, it was widely held that only Arafat could negotiate a lasting peace and independence for his people. From guerrilla fighter to statesman to his present role as chief administrator over a fragile, fledgling country, Arafat has always remained just beyond the grasp of those who would define his nature or predict his next move." "Rubinstein approaches his subject as a detective might: going back to Arafat's birth and shadowy youth in Egypt, his life of ceaseless traveling, the meanings behind his trademark kaffiyeh and three-day beard, his vows of personal poverty, and his insistence on signing every check issued by the PLO. Through anecdote, analytic sifting, and thoughtful reflection, Rubinstein weaves a compelling portrait of Yasser Arafat, one that will be of interest to all who follow events in the Middle East."--BOOK JACKET.
