The persistence of the Palestinian question : essays on Zionism and the Palestinians
"Dr Massad here proposes more than the usual review of the ideological and political histories of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. It is not in de-linking the Palestinian Question from the Jewish Question that a resolution can be found but by linking them as one and the same question. All other proposed solutions, the author argues, are bound to fail." "The book analyzes the failure of the "peace process" and proposes that a solution to the Palestinian Question will not be found unless settler-colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism are abandoned as the ideological framework for a resolution. Individual essays further explore the struggle over Jewish identity in Israel and the struggle among Palestinians over what constitutes the Palestinian Question today."--Jacket
