Product Description

Review

'Jeff Halper's book, like his life's work, is an inspiration. Drawing on his many years of directly challenging Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, he offers one of the most insightful analyses of the occupation I've read. His voice cries out to be heard.' --Jonathan Cook, author of Blood and Religion (2006) and Israel and the Clash of Civilisations (2008)


Product Description

In this book, the Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price: Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without imposing on the country's Palestinian population policies of ethnic cleansing, occupation and discrimination, expressed most graphically in its ongoing demolition of thousands of Palestinian homes, both inside Israel and in the Occupied Territories. An Israeli in Palestine records Halper's journey 'beyond the membrane' that shields his people from the harsh realities of Palestinian life to his 'discovery' that he was actually living in another country: Palestine. Without dismissing the legitimacy of his own country, he realises that Israel is defined by its oppressive relationship to the Palestinians. Pleading for a view of Israel as a real, living country which must by necessity evolve and change, Halper asks whether the idea of an ethnically pure 'Jewish State' is still viable. More to the point, he offers ways in which Israel can redeem itself through a cultural Zionism upon which regional peace and reconciliation are attainable.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book by an amazing man, 7 Mar 2009
By Mrs. J. E. Walton "Jo Walton 'bag lady'" (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and many have been superb. This one, written by the head of ICAHD (Israeli Committee Against House Demoliton), himself and Israeli Jew, is probably one of the most important reads if you are interested in the subject. He is very obviously a very wise man indeed and he should be listened to.
