Political violence exposure and youth aggression in the context of the social ecological systems and family stress models: A four-wave prospective study of Israeli and Palestinian youth
Based on the social ecological systems framework and the family stress model, we examine a model in which the family’s exposure to ethnic-political violence in the Middle East predicts negative family functioning, which in turn predicts subsequent harsh physical punishment toward one’s children, and in turn, children’s aggression by late adolescence/early adulthood. Beginning in 2007, we collected four waves of data from Israeli Jewish ( N = 451 …
Consequences of Exposure to War Violence: Discriminating Those with Heightened Risk for Aggression from Those with Heightened Risk for Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms
Chronic exposure to ethnic-political and war violence has deleterious effects throughout childhood. Some youths exposed to war violence are more likely to act aggressively afterwards, and some are more likely to experience post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTS symptoms). However, the concordance of these two outcomes is not strong, and it is unclear what discriminates between those who are at more risk for one or the other. Drawing on prior researc…
Serious violent behavior and antisocial outcomes as consequences of exposure to ethnic‐political conflict and violence among Israeli and Palestinian youth
We examine whether cumulative-past and concurrent exposure to ethnic-political violence among Israeli and Palestinian youth predict serious violent behavior and antisocial outcomes toward the in-group and the out-group. We collected four waves of data from 162 Israeli Jewish and 400 Palestinian youths (three age cohorts: 8, 11, and 14 years old) and their parents. The first three waves were consecutive annual assessments, and the fourth was condu…
The Longitudinal Effects of Chronic Mediated Exposure to Political Violence on Ideological Beliefs About Political Conflicts Among Youths
This study examines the effects of chronic (i.e., repeated and cumulative) mediated exposure to political violence on ideological beliefs regarding political conflict. It centers on these effects on young viewers, from preadolescents to adolescents. Ideological beliefs refers here to support of war, perception of threat to one's nation, and normative beliefs concerning aggression toward the out-group. A longitudinal study was conducted on a sampl…
Negative Stereotypes of Ethnic Outgroups: A Longitudinal Examination Among P alestinian, I sraeli J ewish, and I sraeli A rab Youth
Ethno-political conflict impacts thousands of youth globally and has been associated with a number of negative psychological outcomes. Extant literature has mostly addressed the adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes of exposure while failing to examine change over time in social-cognitive factors in contexts of ethno-political conflict. Using cohort-sequential longitudinal data, the present study examines ethnic variation in the development o…

Sacred bounds on rational resolution of violent political conflict
We report a series of experiments carried out with Palestinian and Israeli participants showing that violent opposition to compromise over issues considered sacred is ( i ) increased by offering material incentives to compromise but ( ii ) decreased when the adversary makes symbolic compromises over their own sacred values. These results demonstrate some of the unique properties of reasoning and decision-making over sacred values. We show that th…
The Palestinian Elections: Sweeping Victory, Uncertain Mandate
The surprise victory of Hamas in the 26 January 2006 Palestinian Authority parliamentary elections has captured worldwide attention and raised major questions about the direction of Palestinian politics and the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations. By giving Hamas a parliamentary majority, Palestinian voters were neither endorsing extremism nor rejecting the peace process. Other Palestinian institutions have the potential to restrain Hamas, bu…
Public Opinion in the Israeli-Palestinian Two-Level Game
The article focuses on public opinion as a policy-relevant imperative in negotiators' two-level games, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Specifically, it highlights two characteristics of public opinion: its multifaceted nature and its susceptibility to framing efforts. The two are related in the sense that they provide negotiators with opportunities to shape their own and the other side's win-sets: the sets of possible agreemen…
Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process: Oslo and the Lessons of Failure --- Perspectives, Predicaments, Prospects
The Future of Palestine
SINCE JULY 2004, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has faced its most serious internal challenge since it was established in 1994. A violent showdown in the Gaza Strip between competing nationalist factions an old guard and a young guard-has threatened to destroy the PA and, with it, what little remains of domestic security and order after four years of uprising against Israel. The ongoing turmoil represents a critical danger, not just for Palestini…
Self–Serving Perceptions of Terrorism Among Israelis and Palestinians
Definitions of political violence as terrorism are often tainted by self–serving motivations. Groups in conflict in particular tend to justify the use of indiscriminate violent means by highly regarded political ends. This study explores such self–serving perceptions of terrorism in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In two surveys during December 2001, Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians were asked whether 11 local and int…
Determinants of Reconciliation and Compromise Among Israelis and Palestinians
This joint Palestinian-Israeli study stresses the importance of public opinion in reconciliation processes. It was conducted in the wake of the Arafat-Barak Camp David summit and intended to set up a baseline for sentiments of compromise and reconciliation among Israelis and Palestinians at the peak of the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. The study is based on surveys of representative samples of the Israeli adult population ( n = 525) and the …

The Peace Process, National Reconstruction, and the Transition to Democracy in Palestine
With the signing of the September 1993 Israeli-Palestinian Declaration of Principles (DOP), the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have witnessed the acceleration of the development and interaction of three processes-the peace process, the national reconstruction and nationbuilding process, and the transition to democracy. This paper seeks to describe the three processes and to examine their interaction, with special focus on democratization and the im…
Reflections on the Peace Process and a Durable Settlement: A Roundup of Views
In commemoration of its twenty-fifth anniversary, JPS asked a number of specialists in Middle Eastern affairs to give their thoughts on the future of the peace process and, more particularly, on what they would consider an equitable solution in light of a century of conflict, thirty years of occupation, five years of negotiations, and the recent election of a right-wing Likud government. The responses were as follows

The Palestinian Elections: An Assessment
Contrary to the predictions after Oslo that neither the Israelis nor the Palestinian Authority would press for elections, in the end they were held and served the purposes of both. For the Israelis, because the Palestinian issue is the crux of their legitimacy, it was not enough to make peace with a dictatorship or narrow leadership, as had been the case with Egypt or Jordan; they needed to make peace with the Palestinian people, to make sure tha…

The Nuclearization Debates: The Cases of Israel and Egypt
Since the early 1960s, the nuclear question has been high on the agenda of both Israel and the Arab states. Studies, reports and statements by academics, governmental agencies and decision-makers have speculated that Israel has been producing nuclear weapons. Indeed, a continuing state of war, the economic burden of the arms race, a pessimistic view of Israel's future capacity to afford and absorb new technologies and to build new generations of …

An Islamic Conception of Change
It is always refreshing to witness Muslim scholars debating one of themost important phenomena of the modern Islamic revival: the question ofthe "use of force." There is no doubt that this issue is deeply misunderstoodand indeed misused by Islamists and non-Islamists alike. Any attempt to shedlight on the subject is therefore highly appreciated and welcomed. As Muslimswitness the transformation of the international political and economic systemqu…
