Description
When the state of Israel was formed in 1948, it precipitated the Nakba or 'disaster': the displacement of the Palestinian nation, creating fracture-lines which continue to erupt in violent and tragic ways today.
In the years that followed, while the Berlin Wall crumbled and South Africa abolished apartheid, the Israeli government rejected every opportunity for reconciliation with Palestine. But Raja Shehadeh, a human rights lawyer, suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot work together as partners on the road to peace rather than genocide.
A searing reflection on the failures of Israel to treat Palestine and Palestinians as equals, as partners on the road to peace instead of genocide. In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh perspective for a time of great need.
