From Challenge # 64
November-December 2000
The new intifada is not confined to
the Palestinians in the Territories, as the original was. Those living
in Israel have taken an active part, and the Arab world is no longer silent.
All are trying to change the balance of forces. As Yacov Ben Efrat writes:
It is an Intifada From the Bottom Up, aimed not only at Israel,
but also against the pro-Oslo regimes. The Price of Israel's Greed,
our editorial warns, may be war. Assaf Adiv re-examines Barak's bluff of
Economic Separation. This, he concludes, is The Last Thing Israel Wants.
After hearing eyewitness accounts from Arabs in Israel, Michal Schwartz
writes about Thirteen Bullets that killed the Illusion of Co-existence.
The Oslo process has been the baby of the Israeli Left. This camp, writes
Roni Ben Efrat, is Pro Oslo indeed, but Contra the Arab
Peoples. At the root of our thinking lies an analysis of The Trouble
with Oslo - our staff has prepared a brief Refresher Course.
Finally, in Understanding the New Intifada, Yacov Ben Efrat offers
a class analysis of the uprising.
