Israeli Arabs could play a constructive role in this because of their higher level of education and their experience living as full citizens in democratic Israel.

Choike - Israeli-Palestinian conflict Palestinian refugees were specifically and intentionally excluded from the international refugee law regime established by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as long as Palestinian refugees continue to receive assistance from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Palestinian dependence on Israel for water and on the international community for healthcare services underscores the crippled state of Palestinian welfare and its subjugation to Israeli military decisions. Israelis have always talked about peace, sung about it, made art and poetry about it as if it is something almost supernatural, some kind of a paradise that they yearn for but that has nothing to do with their everyday reality, and that they have no idea how to create. www.choike.org /nuevo_eng/informes/1450.html   (7935 words)

Palestine Center - The Evolution of U.S. Policy on Jerusalem: International Law versus the Rule of Force These resolutions “reiterate the long-standing principle of international law regarding the illegality of expansion of any nation’s territory through military force.” Even under the Nixon administration—during which time the U.S. “first used its veto to protect Israeli violations of international law”—the U.S. clearly opposed Israel& occupation of East Jerusalem and its colonization of the area. Current U.S. policy toward Jerusalem is a “direct challenge to the authority of the United Nations and some of the most basic tenets of international law.” Still, Zunes believes that “the situation is not hopeless, merely bleak. Zunes argued that “it is a choice between those who wish to uphold international law and the right of self-determination versus those willing to accept the results of military might and the right of conquest. www.palestinecenter.org /cpap/pubs/20010802ftr.html   (957 words)

It took the UN by far too long to realize that political Zionism is a form of racism representing a blatant violation of the norms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the standards of international law. In the State of Israel the right of a citizen classified in law as a "non-Jew" (namely, an "Arab") to partake in the political process is formally equal to the right of a citizen classified in law as a "Jew". student.cs.ucc.ie /cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/articles/article0004976.txt   (1095 words)

MIFTAH--US Vetoes Cast Against UN Security Council Resolutions on Palestine The implementation of the Security Council resolutions have proved to be very difficult, as Israel, one of the main parties of the conflict, customarily ignores the resolutions, and continues breaching international regulations and laws, such as the 1949 Forth Geneva Convention, the UN charter, and UN Security Council resolutions. The resolution strongly deplored Israeli refusal to abide earlier Security Council resolutions, and called upon Israel to comply with these resolutions, as well as, the norms of international law governing military occupation such as the Forth Geneva Convention. The resolution draft condemned the Israeli non-compliance with resolutions 508 and 509, urged the parties to comply with the Hague Convention of 1907, and restated the Security Council's demands of Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. www.miftah.org /Display.cfm?DocId=1579&CategoryId=4   (2047 words)

Beyond Israel: ripple effect of Bush's stand csmonitor.com WASHINGTON AND BIDU, WEST BANK - By signaling a major shift aligning US policy with Israel on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, President Bush may have turned Arab and Muslim sentiment further against the US as he seeks the region's help in Iraq. The problem is that Palestinians feel the same way - and believe they have international law on their side. The shift in US policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is likely to harden Arab states on other issues such as Iraq. www.csmonitor.com /2004/0416/p02s02-usfp.htm   (779 words)

Palestinian-Israeli Conflict History : Learn About : Palestinian-Israeli Conflict : AFSC The ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians-a struggle over land and political control-is the result of a search for national identity and self-determination by two ethnonationalist groups in the context of nineteenth-century European imperialism, twentieth-century decolonization, and evolving international understandings of statehood and nationalism. Outside the borders of mandatory Palestine, nationalist guerrilla groups took over the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which was established by the Arab states in 1964, and in 1969 elected Yasir Arafat chairman. With the Allied victory in World War I, Palestine came under the control of the British, who made contradictory promises to French, Arab, and European Zionist leaders about how-and by whom-the area was to be governed. www.afsc.org /israel-palestine/learn/conflict-history.htm   (779 words)
