A courageous way forward for the world’s most
intractable conflict
'When you think that everything that could be said has been, Ilan Pappe
provides this eye-opening, original and, most importantly, hopeful book.' Eyal
Weizman, author of Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture of Occupation
'Ilan Pappe supplants slogans for a single democratic state with a detailed
program comprising eight mini-revolutions. This is a bold undertaking and
offers abundant ground upon which to debate a vision and transform it into a
program. Even, and especially, for those in disagreement, Israel on the Brink
offers a point of departure to take seriously the work of decolonization.'
Noura Erakat, author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine

Description
Israel can’t go on like this.
7 October and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza laid bare the cracks in
its foundations. It was unveiled as a country unable to protect its citizens,
divided between messianic theocrats and selective liberals, resented by its
neighbours and losing the support of Jews worldwide. While its leaders
justify bombing campaigns exceeding the worst atrocities of World War 2
and a spiralling humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, Israel is
becoming a pariah state. Its worst enemy is not Hamas, but itself.
Ilan Pappe paves a path out of the Jewish state, rooted in restorative justice
and decolonisation, including the return of refugees, the end of illegal
settlements, and building bridges with the Arab world. The future can be one
of reconciliation, not endless war.
