I recently added the following quote by Yezid Sayigh but I misattributed it to the wrong book:

An entire era ended when Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasir Arafat and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin presided over the signing of the Declaration of Principles on 13 September 1993. Their exchange of letters of recognition ended decades of mutual denial between the national communities they represented, even if the accord did not fundamentally resolve all aspects of the conflict. Many thousands had died, both combatants and civilians, since the war that led to the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine and to the mass exodus of its Arab population in 1947-9. The Palestinian national movement was to raise the twin banners of 'total liberation' and 'armed struggle' in following years, but ultimately proved unable to liberate any part of its claimed homeland by force. The civilian uprising that erupted in 1987 initially appeared more effective in shaking Israeli control, but still the PLO finally accepted a negotiated compromise, the terms of which ran counter to virtually all the principles and aims it had espoused for so long.

Not familiar with Arabic, I attributed this quote to the book الصناعة العسكرية العربية when I meant to attribute it to الكفاح المسلح والبحث عن الدولة؛ الحركة الوطنية الفلسطينية 1948 - 1993 (English title: Armed Struggle and the Search for State: The Palestinian National Movement, 1949-1993). If someone were able to correct this, I would appreciate it. :)

Done. Please allow at least 20 minutes for the change to display.

Next time it would be appreciated if you could link to the quote. Not many librarians work on quotes. :)

Thank you, Carol! Merry Christmas to you!
