Challenge No. 45
A Jerusalem
Magazine on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Sept-Oct. 1997
- Ever since the suicide bombings on July 30 in a
Jerusalem market, Netanyahu has been exploiting the
tragedy as a step towards imposing his interpretation of
the final agreement: "Oslo minus." Roni Ben
Efrat analyzes his strategy and Arafat’s response.
Khalid Amayreh, a reporter from Hebron, looks at the
background of the bombings.
- Diana Mardi reports on an incident that epitomizes the
tug-of-war between the two leaders, which is leading to a
"lebanonization" of the Occupied Territories.
- Roni Ben Efrat, Stephen Langfur and Assaf Adiv review
a recent report by the Palestinian Legislature on wanton
corruption in Arafat’s cabinet.
- Advocate Allegra Pacheco writes about the hundreds of
Palestinians imprisoned by Israel repeatedly without
charges or trial. She describes a petition to the High
Court by Abed Al-Ahmar, who has been in such
"administrative detention" for almost two
years.
- Stephen Langfur reviews a new work on the treatment of
the Arab-Israeli conflict in the history textbooks used
in Israeli schools. Hadas Lahav reports on a unique
summer camp that aims to introduce Palestinian pupils,
both from Israel and the Territories, to a heritage their
schools are ignoring.
- Sumana Ramanan follows the Palestinian cross-stitch
all the way from Ein Areek to Jerusalem: a veritable
‘Via Dolorosa.’ Finally, we report on Karem
a-Dalak, a Jaffa neighborhood slated for renovation,
where sixty artists have joined the residents in order to
fight the city’s attempt to evict them.
