Israel and Palestine: Why They Fight and Can They Stop?

by Bernard Wasserstein
£7.99   paperback  Profile Books (2004)

Israel and Palestine: Why They Fight and Can They Stop? by Bernard Wasserstein A new interpretation of the historical and contemporary realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, challenging the conventional view of the struggle as driven primarily by irrational, nationalist and religious ideologies. Instead he focuses on population, labour, environment, and the social dynamics of political change. Israelis and Palestinians live today in 'Siamiese twin societies'. However much they may wish to, neither side can escape the the presence and influence of the other. Despite the current impasse, bloodshed and haremongering, Wasserstein offers a basis for optimism. The demographic, economic & social imperatives are compelling the two sides towards some form of symbiosis and accomodation. This original view of relations between Jews and Arabs in Palestine and Israel over the past century offers hope for progress towards peace in the Middle East
