News & opinions from a Palestinian-American
living & working in Ramallah/Al-Bireh, Palestine

BY TOPIC: Apartheid

Apartheid is a crime against humanity, whose policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination violate the principles of international law, in particular the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and constitute a serious threat to international peace and security.

by | December 3, 2016 | Books, Writings

University of Massachusetts Boston professor Padraig O’Malley’s The Two-State Delusion’s title suggests that there is something paradoxical in persevering with a proposed solution of two states, Israel and Palestine, as a way forward; the thrust of the historical accounts and the arguments made, however, are actually geared more toward convincing the reader that what failed is the process rather than the two-state paradigm itself, which has never yet been tested.
