Foreword

Our intention in compiling this glossary of social, economic, institutional, legal, cultural and political topics relating to the West Bank is to demystify the treatment of this highly contentious subject. Our long association with the area, and especially with Israeli-Palestinian interaction, has taught us that it is almost invariably perceived in ideological, political, indeed in conflictual terms. These perceptions tend to blur the multi-dimensional nature of the interactions and to neglect the fast-changing realities on the ground. It seems to us appropriate to take stock of these realities in the form of an alphabetical listing of entries, covering such diverse topics as curfews and soccer games, national accounts and extra-parliamentary groups, deportations and student unions.

We embarked on this venture mainly to acquaint those directly involved, namely Jews and Arabs living in the Holy Land, with the facts as well as with the institutions and agencies affecting their daily lives. This is because we have come to realize how little they know or, indeed, wish to know, about them. Ignorance of the facts, exclusionary perceptions and a view of the other side as a menacing monolith, characterize Israeli and Palestinian attitudes. Israelis are surprised to discover that Palestinians possess welfare, cultural and sports organizations. Many Israelis are totally unaware of the ramifications and implications of the dual system by which Israel governs the territories. Palestinians themselves are unfamiliar with the bureaucracy that governs them, and the departmental in-fighting that forms the backdrop to many of the developments affecting their day-to-day existence. They also lack reliable data concerning their own community.

This handbook is a translation of the Hebrew-Arabic original work, now being edited for publication. The choice of entries is in no way random. It is carefully selected, based on our experience of what people want to know when they approach the West Bank Data Project for information. The material is drawn from the data accumulated in the Projects retrieval system. Our analysis and conclusions are, we believe, fully supported by the sources at our disposal. We intend however to revise, and update the information on a continuing basis.

Ziad Abu Zayad, Danny Rubinstein and I served as the editorial board of the Handbook. In addition Mr. Abu Zayad contributed entries on Palestinian institutions and Mr. Rubinstein, on Israeli political groups. Other contributors include Moshe Negbi, Amir Oren, Avner Halperin, Erela Brilliant-Levi, and Usamah Halabi. The English translation was done by Jeffrey Green and Haim Weizmann. Marcia Kretzmer edited the Handbook and made additional contributions to the text. David Horowitz prepared the manuscript for publication. Word processing was done by Hannah Orgel. The final version of this collective undertaking was written by the undersigned who takes full responsibility for all value judgments and errors.

Jerusalem, March 1986

Until 1981/82 agriculture was the most important and stable sector in the West Bank economy. Its share of the Gross National Product (GNP) varied between 2234 percent and its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 3340 percent. This stability was attained despite the decline in the number of those employed in the sector 42% of Palestinians employed in the West Bank to about 30% at the beginning of the 1980s. The average rate of increase in value of agricultural production between 19681981 amounted to 9.6 percent. Since 1983, however, the share of agriculture in the West Bank GDP shows a continuous decline. The value of agricultural production in 1984 was about $250 million, compared with about $300 million in 1983 and $320 million in 1982.
