Product Description
This incisive analysis of where Palestinians and Israelis are and the possible avenues to a just and durable peace has been fully updated in the aftermath of September 11 and the Israeli Defence Force's campaign against the West Bank and Gaza. It lays out the causes of the Second Intifada and argues that this new rising shows that there can be no peace without injustice. Israel may not yet have reached the point where, at the beginning of the 1990s, President de Klerk recognized this fact for South Africa, but the same hard choices must one day be made. Marwan Bishara shows how the asymmetry of power between Palestinians and Israelis was ignored by patrons of the Oslo "peace process" - notably the United States. The ill-conceived transition process degenerated into the fragmented and dependent apartheid statelet that exists today in the West Bank and Gaza. The Oslo process was in fact doomed from the start. The seven accords that have been signed have produced seven years of prosperity for Israelis, and seven years of collapsing economy and increasingly impossible living conditions for Palestinians.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'A lucid and up-to-date analysis of recent events in the Middle East... Throughout he backs his arguments with verifiable facts, often taken from Israeli, US and NGO sources... Bishara takes some comfort in the parallels with apartheid South Africa, where the international community was eventually able to exert enough pressure to help bring about peaceful change... the South African cause was advanced by thousands of small groups of people across the world.. It is just such people that this book addresses and will help to mobilise' - Palestine News
