Why can't Israel accept Palestine and its people as equals, as companions on the path to peace? What does the war in Gaza mean for the future of both countries? Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Nakba (the "catastrophe," as the Palestinians call it) has seen numerous attempts to establish peace and equality between Palestine and Israel – after the six-day war in 1967, the Oslo Accords, and even after the war that began on October 7, 2023.
However, every effort has been undermined by Israel, which is why the situation in the West Bank is unbearable and the genocide in Gaza continues. In this book, Palestinian Raja Shehadeh, a lawyer and human rights activist, presents his personal testimony for understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while exploring what went wrong and why, as well as how things could be different.
While man can be swayed by prejudices by nature, in the case of Palestine and Israel, as the award-winning author firmly argues, the two nations can coexist based on mutual interest.
With the establishment of Israel, Palestine ceased to exist. To this day, Israel refuses to recognize Palestinians as a nation with the right to self-determination. This situation has worsened with the outbreak of war in Gaza, as during military operations against Hamas, the Israeli army killed tens of thousands of civilians, destroyed homes, and flattened Palestinian universities, museums, and historical monuments in order to eliminate the Palestinian presence.

Shehadeh's writing is clear and restrained... But the masterful and bold selection of the historical details and the data he uses builds an unassailable case against the oppressors of Palestine. The Guardian
