Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace
Part I: On 29 January 2002, the Center
for Monitoring the Impact of Peace issued a detailed response to my paper,
“Democracy,
History, and the Contest over the Palestinian Curriculum” that I had
presented at the Adam Institute two months earlier. The CMIP’s response is entitled “The Anti-Peace Orientation of
Palestinian Textbooks.”
I wrote a detailed rejoinder to that response,
entitled, “Detailed Response
to the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace.” In that response, I showed how the CMIP
misquoted itself, claimed it had not made statements that it indeed made,
omitted critical information, and consistently and severely misled its
readers. My response is long, but
readers who are interested in the CMIP’s methods are urged to consult it for
detailed and substantiated evidence of its errors, false statements, and
misleading techniques.
Part II: CMIP did respond to this critique. That response and my rejoinder can be viewed at: Center for
Monitoring the Impact of Peace: Rejoinder.
Part III: Since
that exchange, CMIP has criticized my work on several grounds, both personal
and methodological. A letter to UNRWA
sparked an exchange between CMIP and me: Center
for Monitoring the Impact of Peace: Correspondence.
