The One-state Solution: A Breakthrough For Peace In The Israeli-palestinian Deadlock

"A clear, trenchant book on a topic of enormous
importance... Overall this is a courageous plunge
into boiling waters. If it helps propel forward a
debate that has hardly begun in this country it will
have performed a signal scholarly and political
function."
--Tony Judt, New York University
." . . a pioneering text. . . . A]s such it will take pride
of place in a brewing debate."
--Gary Sussman, Tel Aviv University
"The One-State Solution" demonstrates that Israeli
settlements have already encroached on the occupied
territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the extent
that any Palestinian state in those areas is unviable.
It reveals the irreversible impact of Israel's settlement
grid by summarizing its physical, demographic, . nancial,
and political dimensions. Virginia Tilley explains
why we should assume that this grid will not be withdrawn
--or its expansion reversed--by reviewing the
role of the key political actors: the Israeli government,
the United States, the Arab states, and the European
Union. Finally, the book addresses the daunting obstacles
to a one-state solution--including major revision
of the Zionist dream but also Palestinian and other
regional resistance--and offers some ideas about how
those obstacles might be addressed.
