Mahmoud Means Business
MAHMOUD ABBAS, also known as Abu Mazen, the new Palestinian President who set in his ways to bring peace to the Palestinian people and their cause and to put an end to over four years of violent bloodshed. This pragmatist is a long time Palestinian activist who is neither cynical of Palestinian's aspirations nor willing to betray the Palestinian cause. He sees coexistence with Israel as necessary to his people's interests and will stop it nothing to terminate the age-old conflict.
Abbas, during his exile in Qatar throughout the 1950s, was able to help recruit a small group of Palestinians loyal to the `cause' (restoring peace and glory to Palestine). The members formed the key figures of PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization). He is one of the few surviving founding members of Fatah, a political faction affiliated with the PLO. All through these years Abbas became the main initiator of dialogue with Jewish left-wing and pacifist movements and is generally regarded as the `architect of the Oslo Peace Process'. After his continued efforts he was respected for his clean and simple living and was thereafter appointed as PLO's Head of National and International Relations in 1980.
Being favoured by the international community it was evident that Abbas would win the Palestinian elections. And his election was seen as moment of greatest hope for both sides. Although this did not help to answer the question - how would Abbas' election help to change a conflict that has in recent years crushed the Palestinian population and brought waves of terror to Israelis?
Abbas, a man who can finally step out from behind the shadow of Yasser Arafat - a figure who was seen by many as an obstacle to Palestinian aspirations to build a modern, democratic state despite his centrality to the Palestinian national cause. Abbas has made his aims and goals clear. He has promised to reform the frenzied, corrupt and ineffective Palestinian authority created by Arafat, bring order to the unruly security forces and halt the armed militia that seized control of some Palesitian towns during the intifada.
His strategy to stop the killing and bring about peace between Palestine and Israel includes co-opting with the Israelis and not confronting them as well as call for an end to all violence caused by terrorist groups (Hamas, Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades).

Researchers found that increase in the performance and productivity does not completely rely upon IT investment. Mahmoud and Mann (2005).

Palestinian Cultural Resistance: Violence or Peace? 1948 brought terror to Palestine and a homeland for the Jews who had long migrated to the area following the brutal Holocaust just ten years earlier. Now began the age of the returning Jew, seeking a homeland in Palestine. Since then, the Palestinians have been both driven under the burden of the Israeli occupation manifested in tedious checkpoints, soldier patrols, and a massive wall, and have experienced the semi-liberation of self-rule under

Inspite of always being suppressed in every social and political aspect, Iranian women, played an important part in the Iranian Revolution. What women lacked, was unity. They couldn‟t come together and form a single voice for achieving their rights. Women‟s movements are scattered throughout. A proper women‟s movement never really occurred in Iran, despite their important contribution to Iran‟s political and social history. Women of Iran never rebelled together as a whole to gain anything. They did
