Publisher’s description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More than a century on from the Balfour Declaration, more than 50 years since the fateful war of 1967, and a full decade into the inhuman siege of Gaza-painfully, absurdly, almost unbelievably-the Israel-Palestine conflict rolls on. Amidst a growing sense that the Palestinian\u2019s long struggle for self-determination has reached a crossroads, if not an impasse, this volume takes stock, draw lessons from experience, and weigh paths forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moment of Truth: Tackling Israel-Palestine\u2019s Toughest Questions<\/em>\u00a0seeks to clarify what it would take to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict, to assess the prospects of doing so, and to illuminate what is possible in Palestine. It assembles an unprecedented wealth of expertise-encompassing political leaders, preeminent scholars, and dedicated activists from Israel, Palestine, and abroad-in direct critical exchange on the issues at the heart of the world\u2019s most intractable conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has Israel\u2019s settlement enterprise made a Palestinian state impossible? Can the Palestinian leadership end the occupation? Is Israel\u2019s rule in the Palestinian territories a form of apartheid? Could the US government force Israel to withdraw? In a series of compelling, enlightening, and at times no-holds-barred debates, leading authorities tackle these and other challenges, exposing myths, challenging preconceptions, and establishing between them a more sober and informed basis for political action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
