Palestine and the Arab Spring


Ten years ago, millions revolted against autocratic rulers in the Arab world. In spite of a long protest history, Palestine was one of the quietest settings during the uprisings. What is the impact of the Arab Spring on Palestine ten years on? What are the differences between Arab Spring participants and Palestinians refraining from revolt? Considering the situation in Palestine on the ten-year anniversary of the Arab Spring, Yaser Alashqar (Trinity College Dublin) and Stephanie Dornschneider (University College Dublin) reflect jointly on their latest research findings to answer these critical questions.

Suicide bombing as a method of political violence in the MENA region: A new research perspective

By Sean McCafferty Introduction The prevalence of suicide Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has drawn significant attention from academia. Although over the past 10 years the number of suicide bombings have proliferated, becoming a consistent feature of intra-state conflicts (AOAV, 2019), existing approaches to understanding political violence in the MENA region have not done enough to offer meaningful and non-Orientalist analysis. As a result, this piece argues that there is a pressing need to move in a new direction.   In the aftermath of 9/11 and the ensuing ‘War on Terror,’ academia became focused on the psychology of suicide bombers (Ward, 2018: 88), often concluding that this form of political violence is driven by cultural or religious factors indigenous to the MENA region. This overwhelming focus on individual psycholo

  Adania Shibli by Ronit Lentin Review of Adania Shibli (2020) Minor Detail, London: Fitzcaraldo Editions (translated by Elisabeth Jaquette), 112 pp, £12.99 On 12 August 1949 the atmosphere at the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) outpost in Nirim in the Naqab desert near the Gaza Strip was particularly festive. It was the end of an arduous week of dusty chases in the western Naqab sand dunes after Palestinian ‘infiltrators,’ refugees attempting to get back to the homes they had been expelled from by the colonizing Zionist forces. The platoon commander, lieutenant ‘Moshe,’ told his soldiers to get the dining tent ready for a party. Tables were set with sweets and wine and at eight o’clock, he gave his soldiers a pep talk about Zionism and the important contribution they were making to the newly established State of Israel. Towards the end of the party ‘Moshe’ reminded his soldiers of the 12 year old Bedouin girl they had captured earlier that day, now locked up in one of the huts.  He gave t

The Impact of the Arab Spring on Palestine

By Yaser Alashqar As outlined in this commentary, my research has been concerned with the continuing impact of the Arab Spring uprisings on the question of Palestine. Erupting in December 2010 in Tunisia, the movements of popular protests swept through other key states in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region and included Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and Libya in 2011. The collective protests focused on challenging similar grievances such as authoritarianism, political mismanagement, oppressive security regimes, the lack of economic opportunities and freedom. Although previous scholarly work has demonstrated that the Palestinian experience of the Intifada (popular uprising) and the Palestinian cause held an important place in the consciousness of Arab Spring protesters , the sudden wave of protests across the Arab world has posed a difficult challenge to the centrality of the Palestinian question in Middle Eastern affairs. Arab states and peoples became extremely preoccupied
