Abstract

Those who support Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) often ensure that the game can have an impact. The study provides up-to-date information on this topic in the framework of the battle between Muslim Palestinians and Jewish Israelis. It examines the "harmony" segment of SDP initialism and what "harmony" resources in this struggle. Thirteen associations involved in peacekeeping activities in the region are evaluated. The article notes that most harmony plans involve Jewish Israelis and Muslim Palestinians/Arabs in Israel, while there are few attempts to reach Muslim Palestinians in Gaza Strip, the West Bank or in IDP camps in bordering nations. This game is not seen as an appropriate way to achieve peace between Muslim Palestinians and Jewish Israelis because of the lack of harmony which is a key precursor to compromise. The original policy, together with Israel's regional expansion and the Muslim Palestinians struggle for fundamental freedoms, forces "Sport for Harmony" programmes to create a framework that goes too far.

Highlights

  • The large number of people involved in Sport for Development and Peace ensures that the game can and does have an impact in areas where fighting has taken place

  • In 2017 Jibril Rajoub (President of the Muslim Palestinians Football Federation) described those who want to unite Muslim Palestinians and Jewish Israelis as any action aimed at uniting sport with the Zionist enemy is unspeakably cruel and called on all nations and institutions to refrain from such actions

  • Based on the South African enemy's motivation for politically sanctioned segregation, the Muslim Palestinians-initiated global development of Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) proves that Muslim Palestinians are enabled to the rights similar to those of the rest of humankind till Israel accepts the law of the global community

Summary

Introduction

The large number of people involved in Sport for Development and Peace ensures that the game can and does have an impact in areas where fighting has taken place. This article contains a comprehensive assessment of the part of the "Sport for Harmony" plans that deals with the Israeli-Muslim Palestinians conflict It is conceived as a fundamental and political study of the idea of "Sport for Harmony" in the occupied and seriously threatened territories of Israel. Doyle & Sambanis (2006) identified seven measures necessary for effective peacebuilding and the development of self-sustaining peace: regional security, national security, rule of law, 'quick wins' and property rights, constitutional consensus, democracy or greater contribution, and sincere ethical and mental settlement - none of which have been seen in the framework of the Jewish Israelis and Muslim Palestinians conflict. The following themes were used a priori to test the organisation's assertions: implementation of activities, the motivation of the organisation (including any reports of attempts to "build bridges"), whether or not it attempted to assess its "impact". (including its "success" in promoting "peace") and its position on general conflict policy
