Abstract

A New Current in Palestine
Said, Edward W. | February 4, 2002 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the Palestinian intifada, which has achieved little political significance even after the people's defiance to the Israeli onslaughts. This has caused a stir in the United States media, who have failed to focus on the Israeli military occupation. The Palestinian Islamists have played into Israel's propaganda mills and its ever-ready military by occasional bursts of barbaric suicide bombings that finally forced Yasir Arafat to turn his crippled security forces against Hamas and Islamic Jihad. It showcases a new secular nationalist current that is emerging rapidly.
