Abstract
The ongoing dialectics of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute between two antithetical national narratives, are characterized by conflicting views not only on the question of historical truth but also on the right to exist as a fundamental element of a political entity, with the two sides apparently locked into incessant conflict.1 This outlook was reinforced by the outcome of the 1948 war, in which almost every representative Palestinian political body was overthrown. The Palestinian political leadership entered a state of stagnation. The Palestinian tragedy is one of organizational-political-social destruction with the potential of leading to an identity crisis.
