Palestine's Christians and the Nationalist Cause
This book provides an historical overview of Palestine’s Christian communities and their role in the Palestinian nationalist movement during the late Ottoman and British mandatory periods. More than being a history of Palestine’s Christian Arabs, the book focuses on Palestine’s Christians during the formative period of Palestinian Arab national identity, attentive to the broader topic of the relationship between nationalism and religion—in this case, between Arab identity and Islam. Whereas until recently historians have tended to assume that national and religious identities are distinct and mostly mutually exclusive things, more recent scholarship has addressed the fact that often ...
Plausible Crime Stories
Plausible Crime Stories is not only the first in-depth study of the history of sex offences in Mandate Palestine but it also pioneers an approach to the historical study of criminal law and proof that focuses on plausibility. Doctrinal rules of evidence only partially explain which crime stories make sense while others fail to convince. Since plausibility is predicated on commonly held systems of belief, it not only provides a key to the meanings individual social players ascribe to the law but also yields insight into communal perceptions of the legal system, self-identity, the essence of normality and deviance and notions of gender, morality, nationality, ethnicity, age, religion and other cultural institutions. Using archival materials, including documents relating to 147 criminal court cases, this socio-legal study of plausibility opens a window onto a broad societal view of past beliefs, dispositions, mentalities, tensions, emotions, boundaries and hierarchies.

A former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations argues against a redivision of Jerusalem, stating that it will only enflame radical Islamists and maintains that an awareness of biblical history can protect the city for worshippers of all faiths.
Loot
Exiled in 1948, Palestinians were robbed of their private property when looting became weaponized During the 1948 War, Israeli fighters and residents alike plundered Palestinian homes, shops, businesses, and farms. This bitter truth was then suppressed or forgotten over the coming years. Tens of thousands took part in the pillage of Palestinian property, stealing the belongings of their former neighbours. The implications of this mass looting go far beyond the personality or moral fibre of those who took part. Plundering served a political agenda by helping to empty the country of its Palestinian residents. In this context, it was part of the prevailing policy during the war – one designed...
Who Is the Radical Islamist? and Why?
Radical Islam: A threat to the Western World.Tolerance and freedom of religion have always been hallmarks of open-minded, liberal political philosophy in the West. But what if those principles put our very way of life in danger? In Who Is the Radical Islamist and Why, the author presents a case for the looming threat of radical Islam. From its historical birth in the 7th century to its resurgence in the 21st century, Professor Simmons examines the determination of radical Islam to infiltrate and break apart the social and political infrastructure of the West. By describing the roots of their revival and their undeniable allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and to the revelations of Allah as recorded in the Holy Qur’an, their religious ideology and their call for a global jihad is unraveled. Enlightening and informative, this book answers common questions about the radical Islamist movement and should be a call to action for the complacent Western world.
