In The Legality of a Jewish State, the author traces the diplomatic
history that led to the partition of Palestine in 1948 and the
creation of Israel as a state. He argues that the fate of Palestine
was not determined on the basis of principle, but by the failure of
legality. In focusing on the lawyer-diplomats who pressed for and
against a Jewish state at the United Nations, he offers an
explanation of the effort in 1947-48 by Arab states at the UN to
gain a legal opinion from the International Court of Justice about
partition and the declaration of a Jewish state. Their arguments at
that time may surprise a twenty-first-century reader, touching on
issues that are still at the heart of the contemporary conflict in
the Middle East.
