A symposium was held by the Middle East Studies Center (MESC) on 9 December 2006, on the "Palestinian intifada's role in ending the Israeli occupation". Participants regarded the Intifada as a basic milestone in the struggle against occupation. The first Intifada, which started in December 1987, saw a popular unified support. But inter- Palestinian disagreements by faith and harness, in addition to regional and international interference aborted it. The Al Aqsa Intifada, which started on 29 September 2000, exchanged the stone for weapons and resistance, both Intifadas together formed a framework for the nature of the Palestinian struggle; an arm to threaten occupation and exert pressure on Arabs and the world, a strategic transformation in resistance operations and in Palestinian social change; a gateway for Hamas and retreat for Fateh. Hamas leader, Khalid Mishal, gave the world six months (until 2007 early summer) to achieve complete Israeli withdrawal and recognition of the independent Palestinian state, otherwise Hamas would lead the people in a third Intifada. An MESC symposium in November 2005 anticipated the outbreak of a third Intifada within the next five years, that would be the final one, leading to the achievements of Palestinian interim aims. It would use the methods of both two former uprisings. Participants in the latest workshop give a number of recommendation, most prominent are about: Israeli likely methods and policies in the light of their practices during the first two Intifadas: Mass punishments, political assassination, imprisonment or offering political projects to weaken popular support of Intifada. The Intifada's use of developed methods to influence Israeli and international public opinion. A united Palestinian engagement in the Intifada; and The provision of an official and popular Arab support for Palestinians in the face of Zionist terrorism.
