Palestine (häftad, eng)

In January 2020, US President Donald Trump announced his ''deal of the century''. Supposedly intended to ''resolve'' the Palestine-Israel conflict, it accepted Israeli occupation as a fait accompli. Azmi Bishara places this normalisation of occupation in its historical context, examining Palestine as an unresolved case of settler colonialism, now evolved into an apartheid regime.Drawing on extensive research and rich theoretical analysis, Bishara examines the overlap between the long-discussed ''Jewish Question'' and what he calls the ''Arab Question'', complicating the issue of Palestinian nationhood.

He addresses the Palestinian Liberation Movement''s failure to achieve self-determination, and the emergence of a ''Palestinian Authority'' under occupation. He contends that no solution to problems of nationality or settler colonialism is possible without recognising the historic injustices inflicted on Palestinians since the Nakba.

This book compellingly argues that Palestine is not simply a dilemma awaiting creative policy solutions, but a problem requiring the application of justice. Attempts by regional governments to marginalise the Palestinian cause and normalise relations with Israel have emphasised this aspect of the struggle, and boosted Palestinian interactions with justice movements internationally.

Bishara provides a sober perspective on the current political situation in Palestine, and a fresh outlook for its future.
