AL MAJDAL, Issue no. 2 (June 1999)
----------------------------------------------
This issue, entitled "Reversing Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine"
continues to examine Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing, recognizing
that these policies are rooted historically in the Zionist idea of
"transfer" as a means to clear Palestine of its Palestinian Arab
inhabitants in order to establish a pure Jewish state. In light of
these policies and current international demands that refugees from
Kosova be permitted to return to their homes, BADIL underlines, 1)
the need to create a new consensus which challenges Israel's current
state system based on the idea of a pure Jewish state, and, 2) the
need to advocate for a new Middle East, based on the principles of
international law and UN Resolutions rather than on narrow, exclusive
religious or ethnic parameters.
AL MAJDAL/2 (June 1999) includes 28 pages of reports and analysis on
Palestinian Refugees:
- Update on the Palestinian and International Campaign for the
Defense of Palestinian Refugee Rights (Campaign principles and agenda
developed in workshops with refugee activists in Palestine;
statements by Saji Salameh/General Director, PLO Department for
Refugee Affairs, and Dr. Mussa Abu Hmeid/Head of the PNC Refugee
Department; report and timetable of the European Campaign; and an
interview about priorities of the Palestine solidarity movement in
Europe with Wim de Neuter, a journalist working with Oxfam Solidarity-
Belgium).
