Defying the Logic of Conflict Resolution -- Palestine -- A Comparative Perspective "The Israeli-Palestinian peace process is the story of the defining failure of the entire two-state peace paradigm, a rote religion that still dominates the international discourse on Palestine. In its two first parts - Anatomy of a Seminal Mis-encounter and A Savage War for Peace - this book is an insider account of the July 2000 Camp David summit and the negotiations that followed it, amid the Second Intifada, the cruelest war on Palestine since 1948, until the last days of Bill Clinton's presidency. Clinton's Peace Parameters were the "final product" of that endeavor. The failure of Camp David is also explained through the drama of the interplay between its main actors, Ehud Barak, Bill Clinton and Yasser Arafat. The Third Part -Defying the Imperatives of Conflict Resolution - comprises six chapters that offer an interpretive account of all peace negotiations to this day; a description of the occupation's traits of permanence; the inherent contradictions of the two-state solution; a scrutiny of ominous alternatives such as the binational state, an Israeli unilateral pullout from much of the West Bank and Donald Trump's Deal of the Century; and a discussion of the "Jordanian option", a solution with a long pedigree here revisited. Underlining the singularity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the last essay examines it in a broad comparative perspective. The Epilogue addresses the consequences of Israel's supposed defeat of the Palestinian national movement on her moral profile and international standing"-- |
