9781805223474 6683fbf7fc32f50024dc3ae0 What Does Israel Fear From Palestine? https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/6683fbf8fc32f50024dc3aff/81tmlk5-gol-_sy425_.jpg

Since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Nakba (or 'disaster' as the Palestinians call it), there have been many opportunities to move towards peace and equality between Palestine and Israel - after the Six-Day War in 1967, the Oslo Agreement and even the 7 October 2023 War. Each opportunity has been rejected by Israel, which is why life is unbearable in the West Bank now and there is genocide in Gaza. This book explores what went wrong again and again, and why. And how it could still be different.

It is human nature to feel prejudice. But in this haunting meditation on Palestine and Israel, Shehadeh suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot live together to their mutual benefit and co-existence.

In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh reflection on the conflict in a time of great need.

 

Review

In his moral clarity and baring of the heart, his self-questioning and insistence on focusing on the experience of the individual within the storms of nationalist myth and hubris, Shehadeh recalls writers such as Ghassan Kanafani and Primo Levi - New York Times

Luminously clear-sighted ... By turns lyrical, witty and shrewd, Shehadeh is an excellent companion - Prospect

Shehadeh is a great inquiring spirit with a tone that is vivid, ironic, melancholy and wise -- Colm Tóibín

A buoy in a sea of bleakness -- Rachel Kushner

[Shehadeh is]Palestine's greatest prose writer - Observer

Book Description

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.
