The Politics of Palestinian Textbooks by Fouad Moughrabi
This article analyzes the attempt by extremist Israeli groups to frame the issue of content in Palestinian textbooks in a manner that is consistent with their overall political agenda of discrediting the Palestinian Authority. It suggests an alternative way of examining the content of these texts on the basis of established professional literature in the field of education. It also explores the Israeli and Palestinian debates about what historical narratives should be included in textbooks and what images of the "Other" these texts should present.
The Invisible People Come to Light: Israel's "Internally Displaced" and the "Unrecognized Villages" by Joseph Schechla
This article focuses on the "internally displaced" and the "unrecognized villages" in the context of the activism by Palestinian citizens of Israel in the last decades. Despite indifference, isolation, and various local and regional obstacles, they have recently achieved international legal recognition of their rights, even amid ongoing dispossession and transfer.
