Map of Palestine and Israel

In his final book, completed just before his death, Edward W. Said offers impassioned pleas for the beleaguered Palestinian cause from one of its most eloquent spokesmen. These essays, which originally appeared in Cairo's "Al-Ahram Weekly, London's "Al-Hayat, and the" London Review of Books, take us from the Oslo Accords through the U.S. led invasion of Iraq, and present information and perspectives too rarely visible in America. Said is unyielding in his call for truth and justice. He insists on truth about Israel's role as occupier and its treatment of the Palestinians. He pleads for new avenues of communication between progressive elements in Israel and Palestine. And he is equally forceful in his condemnation of Arab failures and the need for real leadership in the Arab world.

Israel-Palestine Liberation Organization letters of recognition - Israel-Palestine Liberation Organization letters of recognition (or Israel-PLO Recognition or Letters of Mutual Recognition) were a series of official letters of recognition between the government of Israel and its Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Palestine Liberation Organization's Chairman Yasser Arafat dated September 9, 1993. The letters set the stage for, and were in reality the "preamble" to, the Oslo Accords ("Declaration of Principles On Interim Self-Government Arrangements") of September 13, 1993.

Americans for Justice in Palestine-Israel - Americans for Justice in Palestine-Israel is a California-based organization devoted to achieving justice for the Palestinian people, beginning with educating the American people about the "Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict" document available online

Israel-Palestine - Israel-Palestine is a term frequently used by those referring to either Israel, the Palestinian Territories, or both, in such a way as to acknowledge (in a NPOV manner) the existence of both political questions without endorsing nor condemning either one. It is not an official name of any entity, but is refered to in discussion, particularly where the Israeli-Palestinian and Arab-Israeli conflicts are related.

Genocide and ethnic conflict in Israel and Palestine - Claims and counterclaims of genocide involving the Israelis and Palestinians in the State of Israel and the surrounding territories date back at least as far as the founding of Israel itself. Though there is no consensus on whether ethnic cleansing and/or genocide has occurred or is occurring in this region, much less by which party or parties, there are events and movements on both sides of the dispute for which claims of genocide are examined.
