Thirty years ago, after decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, a prospect for peace emerged. It was September 1993, and a handshake between Yitzhak Rabin, the then Israeli prime minister, and Yasser Arafat, the then leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, on the lawn of the White House raised hopes that peace would finally come to the Middle East. This two-part series traces the secret road to the Oslo Accords, telling the story of negotiations that took place in the political shadows and a search for common ground in the midst of a region in constant turmoil. At the centre of it all was an unlikely mediator: the Scandinavian country of Norway.

Khalidi speaks on the history of occupying forces the Middle East and how it relates to the United States' invasion of Iraq. He makes several points. First, nothing that Germany and Japan occupations were accepted by the people and that Americans do not have first-hand experience with occupation, he argues that illegitimate Military occupations always produce opposition. Second, he says the people of the Middle East have strongly resisted Western country over two centuries. He argues that America's intentions are irrelevant, that it only matters how the occupied people perceive America's actions. Third, he says there is a strong tradition of constitutionalism in the Middle East for over a century. Fourth, he notes that oil has been controlled by outsiders for most of the 20th Century in the context of the Bush administration's history in the oil business. He believes the war is at least partially about oil rights. Fifth, he notes that the question of Palestine has alienated people in the Middle East regarding the West. Sixth, he believes that people in the Middle East base their opinions on the West on the acts of the West, not words, recalling previous Western occupiers' words. Seventh, he mentions that the United States used to enjoy a popular reputation in the Middle East as it was seen as an anti-colonial body. However, he now believes there is a new era of American foreign policy where it forces outcomes upon others when all other forms of diplomacy have failed. Being extremely critical of the Bush administration's, particularly Paul Wolfowitz, conduct of the war, calling it a faith-based, fact-free policy in Iraq. He calls for a complete withdraw of American forces and for America to hand Iraq over to the international community.

There are two aspects to the Middle East problem: Israel's occupation of territories that belong to Syria and Egypt, and the uprooting of the Palestinian people. The latter is the result of Zionist settlement of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel on the national soil of the Palestinian people. This constitutes the core of the Middle East conflict. The speaker discusses the intentions of Zionist colonists, the recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1974, and Israels policy toward the Palestinian people, which he believes consists of eight negatives. The national rights of the Palestinians must be recognized before any serious peace discussions can begin.

What challenges face the Palestinian educational system today in light of the daily and cumulative frustrations of a decades-long occupation? How have Palestinian academics, teachers, and higher education officials produced a population considered by many Arabs one of the most highly educated in the Middle East? What strategies does Al Quds University employ to meet the needs of its student body and broader community, particularly on the Abu Dis campus where Israel's separation Wall confiscates land, prevents expansion, and inhibits student attendance? Mohammed Dajani will speak on these and other issues facing Palestinian educators today.

Dajani was appointed professor of political science and founded the American Studies Institute at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem in September 2000, a position he holds to this day. His appointment came within weeks of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's controversial visit with armed guards to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a holy place for Muslims, which set off the second Palestinian popular uprising that continues to this day. Dajani was born in Jerusalem in 1946, two years prior to the Arab-Israeli war and creation of the state of Israel. Dajani holds a PhD in international political relations from the University of Texas, Austin and a PhD in political science from the University of South Carolina, Columbia. He holds a Bachelor's and Master's in communication from the American University of Beirut.
