This volume addresses a number of philosophical problems that arise
in consideration of the century-old conflict between Israeli Jews
and Palestinian Arabs. Consisting of essays by fifteen contributors
(including both Israeli and Palestinian philosophers) and a
detailed introduction by the editor, it deals with rights to land,
sovereignty, self-determination, the existence and legitimacy of
states, cultural prejudice, national identity, intercommunal
violence, and the relevance of religious claims to normative
disputes. The discussion of these general topics is interwoven with
a look at the more particular issues of anti-Semitism, Zionism,
Palestinian nationalism, the Israeli occupation, the Intifada, and
possible solutions to the conflict. In addition to being the first
anthology in English devoted to the philosophical issues engendered
by this conflict, the book also presents differing (and often
opposed) perspectives and includes contributions from Israeli Jews
as well as from Palestinian Arabs. Many of the contributors have
had firsthand experience with this conflict, and some are actively
involved in related political activities.
