In order to search for any changes in the number and type of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip after Palestine’s accession to the International Criminal Court, a statistical analysis was conducted comparing five years before joining from 2010 to 2014 versus five years after accession from 2015 to 2019. By relying on official statistics issued by the human rights centers, the comparison was made in 1- the numbers and types of the victims 2- The targets that these attacks hit, and the researcher found, that there was a significant decrease in the number of dead, from (2730) in the first period it decreased to (436) in the second period, In contrast to the number of wounded, which rose from (13948) to (22165) in the second period due to the Great Return March. When comparing the ratio of the dead to the wounded in each period, it was found that it was proportional to (51) wounded, for every (10) dead, which increased dramatically and became (508) wounded for every (10) killed. On the other hand, the number of hit targets from (59155) to (23,464). And the category of targeting cars and motorcycles from (1311) became only (4), which is a percentage closer to zero in this category. All of this confirms that Israel has changed the number and type of its attacks against the Gaza Strip, and the nature of the objectives it intended in both quality and quantity after Palestine joined ICC.

Stress is a major health risk factor. The origin of the stress or stressful situations might come from internal and/or external causes. In this presentation, two groups of Israeli children who are living under stressful conditions that are affecting their health, their daily functioning, and their learning abilities will be presented. The first group is a group of children living in a town that has experienced terrorist activities for many years. The other group is children from families that have to leave their permanent home due to the Israeli Parliamentary and governmental decision to withdraw from the Gaza Strip. This plan included forced relocation of approximately 8,000 civilians from their communities to temporary sites elsewhere in Israel, and the dismantling of their homes. Using the classical epidemiological triad model of host-agent-environment, the hazard dynamic and its outcomes will be presented. Activities to help the children cope with the stressful situations also will be presented. The objective of this presentation is to describe exposure to risk factors and responses from public health nurses that are aimed at ameliorating the associated negative heath effects.

The paper aimed to determine the social factors responsible for the variable use of [g], [k] and the prestigious [ʔ] in the Colloquial Arabic of the Gaza Strip women. These variables are of interest because they each have one variant that coincides with al-Fussha Arabic; which is the standard /q/. Towards this end, a quantitative study was carried out to examine the frequency of each sound in the naturally occurring speech of a sample of eight female participants belonging to families, six of whom have migrated from the occupied Palestine in year of 1948 and the other two are citizens of the Gaza Strip, where [g] is socially dominant, to the Gaza city. The findings suggest that younger generation shift from [g] or [kshift to the prestigious form [ʔ] to show prestige in the society. Thus the variable use of the original sound [g] in Gaza city could be a language shift.

Design Construction

When dwellers control the major decisions and are free to make their own contribution to the design, construction or management of their housing, both the process and the environment produced stimulate individual and social wellbeing. When people have no control over, nor responsibility for key decisions in the housing process, on the other hand, dwelling environments may instead become a barrier to personal fulfilment and a burden on the economy. (Turner and Fichter's First Law of Housing, 1972, cited in Wood, 1981:7)

Being an Arab lecturer in a Jewish academic institution under fire has challenged me as a professional, a researcher, and a lecturer. Social workers often function in the context of conflicts, but the practice focuses on normative social problems such as domestic violence, poverty, and crime rather than the effects of the conflict on social workers and their clients. In my academic institution, which for years has been in a conflict area and under fire, students are not equipped with relevant knowledge and skills. This article analyzes my personal narrative documented during three of Israel’s wars with the Gaza Strip.

The One

This chapter discusses the beginnings of the novelistic tradition in Palestine. It first provides a brief historical overview of the Palestinian novel before discussing the three major spaces into which Palestinian literature in general is divided: inside Israel, in the Occupied Territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) since 1967, and in the Diaspora. It then considers the works of Palestinian writers in Israel that focus on the Intifada, including Zakī Darwīsh and Tawfīq Mu‘ammar, along with Palestinian novels written in the Diaspora by authors such as Jabrā Ibrahīm Jabrā and Ghassān Kanafānī. It shows that all three spaces of the Palestinian novel share some major themes related to national identity, political rights, and the tension between people and communities, on the one hand, and regimes and political authorities, on the other.

This article examines the history and outcomes of Hamas’ involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. By using published sources and conducting interviews with five incumbent Hamas officials living abroad, the article evaluates the group’s achievements and failures since the onset of its active role in the military struggle against Israel and in Palestinian politics against the other main actor, Fatah. It concludes that Hamas, while achieving some success in its military struggle against Israel, has not delivered the expectations of the Palestinian people, partly because it was squeezed into to the Gaza Strip by the Palestinian Authority (PA), and partly because international actors have blocked aid from entering the Hamas-controlled areas. Hamas is expected to continue fighting, but may partially withdraw from politics, as the people of Gaza are not happy with its governance due to higher unemployment, as well as the Israeli blockade and attacks.
