Violence and war have raged between Zionists and Palestinians for
over a century, ever since Zionists, trying to establish a
nation-state in Palestine, were forced to confront the fact that
the country was already populated. Covering every conflict in
Israel's history, War over Peace reveals that Israeli nationalism
was born ethnic and militaristic and has embraced these
characteristics to this day. In his sweeping and original
synthesis, Uri Ben-Eliezer shows that this militaristic nationalism
systematically drives Israel to find military solutions for its
national problems, based on the idea that the homeland is sacred
and the territory is indivisible. When Israelis opposed to this
ideology brought about change during a period that led to the Oslo
Accords in the 1990s, cultural and political forces, reinforced by
religious and messianic elements, prevented the implementation of
the agreements, which brought violence back in the form of new
wars. War over Peace is essential reading for anyone who wants to
understand the role of ethnic nationalism and militarism in Israel
as well as throughout the world.
