The Two-state Delusion: Isreal and Palestine - A Tale of Two Narratives
Padraig O'Malley
In this revelatory, hard-hitting book, O'Malley approaches the key issues pragmatically, without ideological bias, opening our minds to the vital truth that we must find new frameworks for reconciliation if there is to be lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.
From an international peacemaker and reconciliation expert comes a vital new look at one of the most entrenched conflicts of our time.
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. Now, in his persuasive, comprehensive new book, 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 - an event he shows to be highly unlikely - it would be nearly impossible to implement given the staggering costs, Palestine’s political disunity and economic fragility, Israel’s continuing ideological shift to the right, and rapidly evolving facts on the ground.
In this revelatory, hard-hitting book, O'Malley approaches the key issues pragmatically, without ideological bias, opening our minds to the vital truth that we must find new frameworks for reconciliation if there is to be lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.
