A typical example of this perspective is found in Benny Morris, Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1998 (New York: Knopf, 1999), xiii. Morris does a wonderful job of synthesizing the historical literature on the conflict but does not detail the influence of symbolic practices on the conflict. Avi Shlaim, The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World (New York: W. W. Norton, 2000) does acknowledge the powerful role played by Haydar Abdel Shah's speech at the Madrid conference (487-90), and Edward Said has written extensively about symbols and the need for narration and counternarration in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. See Edward W. Said, Moustafa Bayoumi, and Andrew Rubin, The Edward Said Reader (New York: Vintage Books, 2000). 3. See Myron J.
