Product Description
Review
'Whatever position one holds on the question of a two-state solution or of a bi-national state for Palestine/Israel, it is important to understand the arguments put forward. This collection of essays engages the reader directly and honestly, bringing many new and important angles to the debate over bi-nationalism. The arguments and facts presented here succeed in bringing the bi-nationalist position from the margins of the debate to a more central position.' --Mick Dumper, Reader in Middle East Politics and author of The Politics of Sacred Space: The Old City of Jerusalem in the Middle East Conflict (2004) and Editor, Palestinian Refugees: Global Perspectives (2006)
Product Description
'Where Now for Palestine' marks a turning point for the Middle East. Since 2000, the attacks of 9/11, the death of Arafat and the elections of Hamas and Kadima make the Israel/Palestine 'two-state solution' seem illusory. This collection of essays from prominent scholars, including Ilan Pappe and George Giacaman, critically revisits the concept of the 'two-state solution' and maps the effects of local and global political changes on both Palestinian people and politics. The authors discuss the changing face of Fateh, Israeli perceptions of Palestine, and the influence of the Palestinian diaspora. The book also analyzes the environmental destruction of Gaza and the West bank, the economic viability of a Palestinian state and the impact of US foreign policy in the region. This authoritative and up-to-date guide to the impasse facing the region is required reading for anyone wishing to understand a conflict entrenched at the heart of global politics.

Highly disingenuous
27 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is highly disingenuous in a number of respects, and hence is pure propaganda. Hilal's underlying goal is to promote the view that Israel should be destroyed, pure and simple. Hilal's perspective is that of extremist Arab nationalism/racism, an attitude that has wrought multiple genocides during the 20th century against Middle Eastern Jews, Kurds, Berbers, Darfur Blacks, and Christians. Events now happening in "Hamastan" Gaza, the Arab-on-Arab massacres (in addition to the Arab-on-Arab massacres during the civil war in Lebanon during the 1970s) illustrate the ultimate goal that Hilal would like to see played out, his sophisticated-but-propagandistic double-talk notwithstanding. Most importantly, Hilal wants to obscure the most sensible resolution of the Palestinians' self-made plight, namely, federation with Jordan. The only people who would really "benefit" from this book are die-hard racists who want to see the Jewish population of Israel massacred. This book is intended to provide them with the propaganda-cover they seek.
