The Failure of the Two-State Solution: The Prospects of One State in the Israel-Palestine Conflict (Library of Modern Middle East Studies): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Failure of the Two-State Solution: The Prospects of One State in the Israel-Palestine Conflict (Library of Modern Middle East Studies)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Diplomats, politicians and activists alike have long laboured under the assumption that a two-state solution is the only path to peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But as this conflict continues unabated, and violence and instability deepen, it seems that the ideal of two states co-existing alongside each other and the ever-elusive goal of peace slips further from reach. The Failure of the Two-State Solution examines the impasse in the Israel-Palestine conflict, exploring the reasons behind the breakdown of attempts to establish a meaningful Palestinian state. This book therefore points to another until recently unthinkable option: a single bi-national state in Israel-Palestine, with all inhabitants sharing in equal rights and citizenship, regardless of ethnicity or faith.Hani A. Faris has drawn together a wide-ranging and in-depth analysis of the historical and current situation in Israel-Palestine. By analysing the history of the conflict in Israel-Palestine and its numerous peace initiatives, this book demonstrates how the current deadlock has been reached. With a nascent Palestinian state hampered by Israeli security policy and internal political divisions and the continuing expansion of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, it is argued here that the viability of the two-state solution seems to have run its course. And so highlights the one-state solution as an option, and debates and develops the organisational steps and strategies, on a local and international level, that would enable the construction of a bi-national state.With scholars from the US, Europe, the Arab world and Israel analysing the possibility of a one-state solution and the shortcomings of the two-state track, this is an important and ground-breaking book for students of Politics, International Relations, Peace Studies and Middle East Studies and all interested in the resolution of this seemingly intractable conflict.

List of Illustrations

The Israeli conquest of Palestine in 1948/9 is shown at various stages of Israeli military operations.

A typical record of one of 453,000 Palestinian land owners. All Palestine is Palestinian Arab except those areas (5.4 per cent) for which Jews possess legal title deeds.

AJNF confiscated 2,500,000 donums (1 donum = 1/4 acres) which belonged to 372 Palestinian villages, comprising 55 per cent of the registered refugees.

Ethnically cleansed villages and their land boundaries.

Same as Figure 12.4, showing that village sites are still vacant in spite of Israeli urban expansion. The figure shows JNF-confscated Palestinian lands.

, showing that Palestinian land is used primarily for military purposes.

Official classification of land use showing that 88 per cent of Israel is used for purposes other than human habitation.

1,300 Palestinian villages in all of Palestine. Only 99 remained in the part of Palestine that became Israel. Others in that part were ethnically cleansed.

Palestinians were scattered in over 200 locations of refugee camps, not allowed to return home.

Those expelled from Saffuriyya village in Galilee sought refuge in adjacent regions, mostly Syria and Lebanon.

Jabaliya camp, pulverised by Israeli tanks and planes, is the temporary home of tens of ethnically cleansed southern villages.

The besieged Gaza strip (1 per cent of Palestine) is the present home for 1.5 million people expelled from 247 villages.

The return of the expelled population of Galilee will be welcomed by their families who remained at home.

Total ethnic cleansing of the south left the south almost empty till today. Expelled Gaza refugees can literally walk home.

All projections show that Palestinians will be the majority at some place or time. Hence renewed ethnic cleansing plan is discussed publicly in Israel.
