Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Disputes over settlements, the right of return, the rise of Hamas, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, and other intractable issues have repeatedly derailed peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine. renowned peacemaker Padraig O'Malley argues that the moment for a two-state solution has passed. After examining each issue and speaking with Palestinians and Israelis as well as negotiators directly involved in past summits, O'Malley concludes that even if such an agreement could be reached, it would be nearly impossible to implement.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 421-463) and index.
Early history : the two narratives -- Dueling narratives and addiction to narrative -- Two-state paradigm, decades of failure, and addiction to process -- Specifics failures -- Hamas : spinning wheels -- Refugees and right of return -- Settlers and settlements -- The economics of sustainability -- Demographics : the enemy within -- Facing the truth.
Arguing that a two-state solution is no longer a viable path to lasting peace, a controversial assessment of the Israeli-Palestine conflict addresses key issues while outlining a framework for action.
