Paul Heywood-Smith's interest in the Arab-Israeli conflict
commenced in London in 1973 at the time of the Yom Kippur War. He
was then a young lawyer imbued with the values derived from the
fight against apartheid and opposition to the Vietnam War. His
thesis is that the conflict is the defining conflict of our time,
and has had that status for at least sixty years. It is behind the
rise of militant Islam. It was the impetus for 9/11 and 7/7. The
Case for Palestine presents the history and the issues objectively
- and subjectively - in a way comprehensible by all in society. Not
to be informed of the Arab-Israeli conflict is to fail to
understand what is happening in our lives: in respect of our
privacy, our national defence, our security when travelling, our
future and our children's future. Heywood-Smith argues that it is
the responsibility of all adult and thinking members of the world
community to inform themselves of the background to the conflict
and the current issues associated with its resolution. It is not
good enough for thinking people to say to themselves 'it's too
hard'. Nor is it good enough to say: 'I am not anti-Semitic; I must
support Israel.' 'Compelling, confronting and controversial. A must
read for anyone who wants to understand this interminable and
tragic conflict.' - Nick Xenophon, Senator for South Australia
