A half-century into the conflict between Israel and Palestine, Israel\'s Occupation at Fifty brings together eminent political leaders, scholars, and activists for a wide-ranging, at times contentious, and remarkably fruitful discussion of the region\'s fate.
Has Israel\'s vast settlement enterprise made a Palestinian state impossible? Can the Palestinian leadership end the occupation? Is Israel\'s rule in the Palestinian territories a form of apartheid? What role must the United States play in securing a just peace? In a series of compelling, illuminating and at times no-holds-barred debates, leading authorities tackle these and other problems, exposing myths, challenging preconceptions, and providing a more sober and informed basis for political action..
This book brings together an unprecedented wealth of expertise--encompassing political leaders, preeminent scholars, and dedicated activists from Israel, Palestine, and abroad--in direct critical exchange on the issues at the heart of the world\'s most intractable war.
This is a record that should inspire intellectual humility as well as political urgency; a readiness to acknowledge that, on myriad Questions bearing on the prospects for resolving the conflict, compelling arguments can be advanced from multiple sides.
A century on from the Balfour Declaration, 50 years since the fateful war of 1967, and a full decade into the brutal siege of Gaza, Israel\'s occupation is more entrenched than ever while Palestinian self-determination has never been so remote.
A simple observation that ought to astonish more than it does: the Israel-Palestine conflict continues.
