SECTION I

Palestinians and Lebanon:The Common Story

MICHAEL C. HUDSON

Centre for Contemporary Arab Studies, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University

This article offers two models of the future pattern of interaction between Palestinians and Lebanese. One, based on the similarities of culture and outlook, promotes a sense of ‘community and integration’, and the other, concentrating on the aftermath of thirty years of civil conflict, emphasizes the dangers of ‘conflict and mutual oppression’. The article divides the history of the Palestinians in Lebanon into four periods: dispossession and adaptation (1948—1967); ascendancy of the PLO in Lebanon (1965‘1982); the decline of the PLO (1982-1991); and the present ‘era of the peace process’. In the final section, the author stresses again the common characteristics and experiences which unite Palestinians and Lebanese and asks whether such a basis can be used to promote, at last, a just and equitable solution for both communities.
