One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse - Ali Abunimah

Descriere One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse - Ali Abunimah

\n \nA visionary* approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--one state for two peoples--that is more urgent than ever\n \nIt is by now a commonplace that the only way to end the Israeli-Palestinian violence is to divide the territory in two. All efforts at resolving the conflict have come down to haggling over who gets what: Will Israel hand over 90 percent of the West Bank or only 60 percent? Will a Palestinian state include any part of Jerusalem? \n \nClear-eyed, sharply reasoned, and compassionate, One Country proposes a radical alternative: to revive the neglected idea of one state shared by two peoples. Ali Abunimah shows how the two are by now so intertwined--geographically and economically--that separation cannot lead to the security Israelis need or the rights Palestinians must have. Taking on the objections and taboos that stand in the way of a binational solution, he demonstrates that sharing the territory will bring benefits for all. \n \nThe absence of other workable options has only led to ever- greater extremism. It is time, Abunimah argues, for Palestinians and Israelis to imagine a different future and a different relationship.\n
