In January 2020, US President Donald Trump announced his 'deal of
the century'. Supposedly intended to 'resolve' the Palestine-Israel
conflict, it accepted Israeli occupation as a fait accompli. Azmi
Bishara places this normalisation of occupation in its historical
context, examining Palestine as an unresolved case of settler
colonialism, now evolved into an apartheid regime. Drawing on
extensive research and rich theoretical analysis, Bishara examines
the overlap between the long-discussed 'Jewish Question' and what
he calls the 'Arab Question', complicating the issue of Palestinian
nationhood. He addresses the Palestinian Liberation Movement's
failure to achieve self-determination, and the emergence of a
'Palestinian Authority' under occupation. He contends that no
solution to problems of nationality or settler colonialism is
possible without recognising the historic injustices inflicted on
Palestinians since the Nakba. This book compellingly argues that
Palestine is not simply a dilemma awaiting creative policy
solutions, but a problem requiring the application of justice.
Attempts by regional governments to marginalise the Palestinian
cause and normalise relations with Israel have emphasised this
aspect of the struggle, and boosted Palestinian interactions with
justice movements internationally. Bishara provides a sober
perspective on the current political situation in Palestine, and a
fresh outlook for its future.
