Modern morality (innovative, productive, and creative) is an important concept for this solution and is applied in madrasah education through learning activities and life skills. The research objective was to determine the contribution of Madrasah MTsN 4 Hulu Sungai Utara in the application of modern morality.

It also proposes new approaches to the conflict with the Palestinians centered on unilateral action by Israel, including the enactment of a provisional border to safeguard the narrowing prospects for a two-state solution. Prescriptions concerning Hezbollah, particularly the ominous imperative to target Lebanon's national infrastructure, conjure another round of death and destruction. The document's utility is limited by its failure to deconstruct the nature of the challenges or opportunities facing Israel, as well as the general unwillingness to examine the motivations of Israel's adversaries.

The brainchild of a group of military intellectuals clustered around the IDF's Operational Theory Research Institute (OTRI), SOD was first mooted in 1995. It was an operational doctrine that drew on U.S. studies and postmodern French philosophical and textual analysis to develop an integrative critical and creative approach to the battlefield and generate new means of addressing old problems. The basic paper outlining SOD was signed by then incoming Chief of Staff Dan Halutz and formally adopted as the IDF's operational doctrine in April 2006. 1 Put to almost immediate test in southern Lebanon, the IDF's experience with SOD in July 2006 was disastrous. Not only did its intellectual content challenge senior officers' understanding, but its somewhat rarified Foucauldian precepts sowed confusion rather than clarity on the battlefield, with the consequence that orders were misunderstood, misinterpreted, or altogether ignored. Rather than help to "integrate" operations, SOD played a significant part in the tactical disorder that marked the IDF's performance over the thirty-three days of the war. 2 The results were predictable. SOD was rapidly dropped, as the Israeli high command grappled with its shortcomings and failures as revealed by the war, and Halutz's successive replacements (Gabriel "Gabi" Ashkenazi and Benjamin "Benny" Gantz) launched a long process of organizational and doctrinal reevaluation that passed through the 2007 Meridor Commission, the 2008 Winograd Commission, and finally culminated in the 2015 IDF Strategy of Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot (hereafter ED, short for Eisenkot Document), made available in English for the first time here, by the Journal of Palestine Studies (JPS).

This volume is the first of its kind to address security issues from a Palestinian perspective, with or without a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel. The authors break new ground in focusing on Palestinian national needs as well as the means to defend the Palestinian people wherever they may be. The book's ultimate objective is to lay the foundations for a formal non-offensive Palestinian national security doctrine. It will be essential reading for policymakers, experts, and the media in the Middle East as well as interested parties in the international community.

Camp David signiried the possibility of a compromise that would have been in Une with the previous agreements (Oslo). But Yassir Arafat's refusal to accept an Israeli offer that was ambiguous resul-ted in his losing legitimacy as a partner for peace, whereas a bare provocation (Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif) exacerbated the religious element of the conflict and sparked off the Second Intifada, which resulted in many more casualties than the first. Since then the continuing colonisation of the Occupied Territories and the radicalisation of the two camps mean that the peace process has been taken hostage: if Israel and the United States believe that the recognition of a Palestinian state is contingent on Ar...

This essay explores the moral and practical reasons why they cannot accede to this demand, or even accept Israel's self-definition as a matter of exclusive Israeli concern.

The democratic credentials of any of the regimes or states in that great arc from the Atlantic to the Gulf (min alMuhit illa al-Khalij in the Arab nationalist parlance of yesteryear) are far from impeccable. Even the democratic nature of the much-vaunted "only democracy" in the region is circumscribed by the inherent tension between its Jewishness on the one hand and its self-proclaimed democratic ethos on the other. When we look, then, at the Palestinians' first serious excursion into democracy with the recent elections, what are we really talking about, and what can we expect?

Key components of Palestinian security are discussed, including adequate self-defence arrangements, external reinforcement and regional linkage, and the prospects for satisfactory progress towards a final settlement during the interim phase of the peace process are examined.*

Here Ahmad Khalidi argues that these must be met with more flexible diplomacy than hitherto, which appreciates all the concerns of those involved. He identifies, and expands upon, three key areas of tension in the region, and the crucial factor of the division of authority and control during this difficult interim‐phase. The author concludes with the insistence that fundamental behaviour and attitudes themselves must alter, if the peace accord is not to become little more than a redundant scrap of paper.
