Abbo tries to express his cultural heritage in his work, believing that art has been neglected in the Arab world. This, he believes, is caused by the poor attitudes of government and society. He believes that Arab governments need to foster students who are interested in Art at a young age through school programs and that governments need to support artists to promote the cultural heritage of the region.

Abu Lughud described American foreign policy toward Palestinians as aggressively stopping any revolutionary fervor. He claims that the US will only change their support of Israel if: 1. they believe in a serious Arab intervention on behalf of Palestinians; 2. if US support of Israel pushes Arab states to entertain stronger relations with the USSR. Abu Lughud, who was one of the founders of the Arab American University Graduates Association (AAUG), which is working to bring together Arab Americans, improve Arab American relations, and make talent available to the Arab states.

In the past, boycotts have failed due to a lack of coordination to target the right organizations, including Western companies that add to Israel's war effort. The boycott has, despite its limitations, left a considerable dent in the Israeli economy.

Some see Roger's visit as an American attempt to avoid a war in the middle east. Others see it as a policy of the West to divide the Arab World. It is unlikely however that Roger's visit will lead to substansial change in policy as the US continues to avoid pressuring Israel to withdraw from Palestinian Territory.

US involvement in Turkish politics divided the student movements into pro- and anti-West camps. Universities also became major spreaders of radical leftist and sometimes extremist political ideologies, leading to student-led radical gestures on campuses across the country. It is clear that students are an important stakeholder in Turkey's future.

The noted literary figure Mikhail Naimy sounded the alarm in 1915 (two years before the Balfour Declaration was issued) that moves were afoot to convert Palestine into a Jewish state, at the expense of the Palestinians, who, to his surprise, were strangely silent on the issue at the time. Another celebrated man of letters, Amin Rihani, was deeply engaged with the subject, and looked for avenues of reconciliation with variants of Zionism, except for "state-Zionism." Rihani and others rose to the defense of Palestinians, particularly when they came under attack in the US press. Interestingly, one can trace an evolution in the thinking of the best writers among Arab Americans from total rejection of the Balfour Declaration toward the acceptance of a Jewish home in Palestine so long as it did not aspire to transform this haven (which appeared to have come into existence by the late thirties) from a refuge into a Jewish state.

It existed only in the form of three provinces; each was integrated and dealt with as a unit within the overall Ottoman administrative system. Lacking an international status, each unit could not possibly deal directly with foreign governments.1 True, in ancient and medieval times, Iraq was the seat of great empires; but, after four centuries of Ottoman rule, only historical memory and Arab traditions inspired the people with a sense of identity that they belong to one political com¬ munity. It was to that historical memory, General Stanley Maude, commander of the British expeditionary force, referred in his address to the people, upon his entry to Baghdad, when he said that the British force had come not to dominate, but to liberate the country from Ottoman rule and to assist in the revival of its illustrious place in the history of mankind.
