Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh
light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of
a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a
vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price:
Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without
imposing on the country's Palestinian population policies of ethnic
cleansing, occupation and discrimination, expressed most
graphically in its ongoing demolition of thousands of Palestinian
homes, both inside Israel and in the Occupied Territories. An
Israeli in Palestine records Halper's journey 'beyond the membrane'
that shields his people from the harsh realities of Palestinian
life to his 'discovery' that he was actually living in another
country: Palestine. Without dismissing the legitimacy of his own
country, he realises that Israel is defined by its oppressive
relationship to the Palestinians. This second edition is includes
an epilogue gauging the chances for peace after the failed
Annapolis process.
