內容簡介top The Two-State Delusion 簡介 A leading reconciliation expert argues that a two-state solution is no longer a viable path to create lasting peace in Israel and Palestine Disputes over settlements, the right of return, the rise of Hamas, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, and other intractable issues have repeatedly derailed peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine. Now, in a book that is sure to spark controversy, renowned peacemaker Padraig Oalley argues that the moment for a two-state solution has passed. After examining each issue and speaking with Palestinians and Israelis as well as negotiators directly involved in past summits, Oalley concludes that even if such an agreement could be reached, it would be nearly impossible to implement given the staggering costs, Palestine political disunity and the viability of its economy, rapidly changing demographics, Israel continuing political shift to the right, global warming effect on the water supply, and more. In this revelatory, hard-hitting book, Oalley approaches the key issues pragmatically, without ideological bias, to show that we must find new frameworks for reconciliation if there is to be lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.
