This article examines the views of eight prominent Palestinian Christians about Jesus' relationship to Judaism, and Jesus' relationship to contemporary Palestinian identity. These questions are explored within the context of two significant political phenomena: the emphasis on the Jewishness of Jesus within Western biblical studies and theology in the past four decades, and the prevalence of defamatory accusations of anti-Semitism against Palestinian Christians by their critics. This study offers a unique perspective on the question of the identity of the figure of Jesus within the context of the Palestine/Israel conflict, and demonstrates the geopolitical significance of the question of Jesus' relationship with Judaism for both Christians and Jews.

Although the two-state solution originated as a concession to preponderant political realities (specifically Israeli military superiority and international political pressures), it has subsequently become detached from any semblance of reality. While the two-state framework remains an article of faith for the Palestinian leadership, the day-to-day existence of West Bank Palestinians approximates more closely with an apartheid (one-state) reality. In interrogating this Janus-faced construction, the subsequent article seeks to establish whether the peace process should be re-interpreted as a manifestation of deeper divides and splits within the Palestinian body politic

This article explores the concept of the ‘Holy Land’ as reflected in a Palestinian seventeenth-century manuscript: A String of Pearls in Praise of al-Sham, by Muhammad Habib, and in light of the considerable output of works on the ‘virtues of the Holy Land’ by Muslim writers in Palestine and Syria. Although these writers composed their works using materials from traditional sources (religious, historical, geographical), the key issue explored here is the use of Palestinian oral and local traditions which were not always consistent with official or orthodox Islamic thought and thus local traditions which remained outside the bounds of official hadith compilations. This study explore the role played by local or oral traditions in highlighting the sanctity of a city or a site in Palestine and Syria.
