  • Palestine and Palestine Studies: One Century after World War I and the Balfour Declaration

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2014Cited by: 2

    In this overarching March 2014 inaugural lecture at the newly established Center for Palestine Studies at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, while reminiscing about the genesis and evolution of the new narrative on the 1948 war, provides fresh analyses of both the Balfour Declaration and UN Security Council Resolution 242.

  • Remembering Hasib Sabbagh (1920––2010)

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2010

    Hasib Sabbagh, who died on 12 January 2010 after a long illness, was arguably the preeminent Palestinian entrepreneur in the business and contracting fields in the post-1948 period. Born to an old and distinguished Greek Catholic family of Safad in Eastern Galilee, Sabbagh established the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) in 1945 in Haifa with several partners after graduating in engineering from the American University of Beirut. Under his …

  • The Hebrew Reconquista of Palestine: From the 1947 United Nations Partition Resolution to the First Zionist Congress of 1897

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2009Cited by: 2

    Challenging the widely accepted premise that the 1948 war was a war of Jewish self-defense, the author demonstrates that the 1947 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) partition resolution was fundamentally a green light for the Yishuv's fully mobilized paramilitary organizations (supported by the resources of the World Zionist Organization) to effect the long-planned establishment of a Jewish state by force of arms. He further argues that as a …

  • The Fall of Haifa Revisited

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2008Cited by: 4

    This historical narrative mixed with personal reminiscences, undertaken to provide background for Albert Hourani9s testimony before the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry elsewhere in this issue, focuses closely on the decade or so that precedes the committee9s hearings in 1946. In recounting the establishment of the committee and the Arab Office (which Hourani represented), the author highlights the complex interaction between the local, region…

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2005Cited by: 10

    The myth that the Palestinian exodus of 1948 was triggered by orders from the Arab leaders——a cornerstone of the official Israeli version of the 1948 war and intended to absolve it of responsibility for the refugee problem——dies hard. Thus, it continues to be deployed by apologists for Israel as a means of blaming the Palestinians for their own fate. Even Benny Morris, one of whose major conclusions in his 1986 The Birth of the Palestinian Refuge…

  • The Prospects of Peace in the Middle East

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2003Cited by: 2

    This address delves into the underpinnings of the current crisis in the occupied territories: the Bush administration's deemphasis on the Palestine problem to avoid confrontation with Israel over settlement policy; the designation of Sharon as a "man of peace" despite his history; rejection of any exploration of the political roots of 9/11; the deepening alliance between American Christian fundamentalism and Israel; the willful and gross distorti…

  • Revisiting the Unga Partition Resolution

    Walid KhalidiARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies1997Cited by: 8

    This article examines the 1947 UN resolution recommending the partition of Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish state as the fulfillment of fifty years of Zionist efforts to establish a Jewish state in Palestine and as the opportunity to expand that state. The article analyzes the components of the partition plan itself in the light of the demographic and land ownership realities of the time and discusses the implications to the present day of the…

    The Gulf crisis is so complex and multifaceted in its genesis and evolution, and likely consequences, that it presents a daunting challenge to any observer attempting to present an overview, however tentative. In attempting such an overview, this paper is divided into four parts. After a retrospective survey of the historical background of the crisis, it examines the reasons for the considerable measure of Arab support Saddam Hussein has elicited…
