This book examines Palestinian politics in Jerusalem since 1967,
and in particular since the outbreak of the second Intifada in
September 2000, focusing on the city's decline as an Arab city and
the identity crisis among the Jerusalemite Palestinians.
Principally concerned with Palestinian politics and how they have
evolved over time from the grass roots upwards, it covers issues
such as the separation wall, military activity and terror, planning
regulations, the joint Jewish-Arab struggle against the occupation,
and efforts to remove Palestinians from the city. Drawing upon
conversations with hundreds of Palestinians - Islamists,
nationalists, collaborationists, and a-political people - as well
as upon military courts files and Palestinian writings, Hillel
Cohen tells the story of the failure of the Palestinian struggle in
Jerusalem in both its political and military dimensions. He points
at the lack of leadership and at the identity crisis among
Palestinian Jerusalemites which were created by Israeli policies
(the separation wall, the closure of Palestinian institutions) and
Palestinian faults (the exclusion of Jerusalem from the Palestinian
Authority in Oslo Agreements, or the suicide attacks in the second
Intifada). Providing a broad overview of the contemporary situation
and political relations both inside the Palestinian community and
with the Israeli authorities, the book gives a unique insight into
Palestinians' views, political behaviour, and daily life in
Israel's capital. As such, it is an important addition to the
literature on Palestinian politics, Jewish and Israeli studies, and
Middle Eastern politics.
