They determine the boundaries of the permissible. If one wants to know why the Intifada erupted, what the Palestinians think and what they are fighting for, how they operate and how they perceive Israel, and whether there is anything to talk about, one should read the Palestinian leaflets. They are the documents from\u003cbr\u003ewhich the Palestinians go forth and to which they return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMishal and Aharoni first provide some historical background to the Intifada and deal with the question of how it came about and what prevented its outbreak during the first twenty years of Israeli rule in the territories. They then turn to the leaflets and examine in detail their contents and motivations. \u003ci\u003eSpeaking Stones\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with a selection of over fifty translated leaflets of the two leading bodies in the Intifada: the United National Command and the Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shaul Mishal, Reuben Aharoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081562607X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815626077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.01w x 0.90d","brand":"Shaul Mishal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926469705983,"sku":"9780815626077","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16fd5dbf-50d8-49ac-b605-5d294f67e975.jpg?v=1681083247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speaking-stones-shaul-mishal-9780815626077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
