The book emphasizes that historical inquiry is the best guide for understanding the present and anticipating the future, and argues that the conflict must be understood through both political realities and competing national narratives. Built from distinct chapters written over time, it seeks to clarify the conflict’s dynamics and prospects for resolution.","# ISRAEL AND PALESTINE\n\n# ISRAEL AND PALESTINEReappraisals,Revisions,Refutations\n\nAvi Shlaim  \nEarlier versions of the chapters included in this volumehave appeared in the following publications:  \nChapter\\#1,in Wm.Roger Louis,ed.,Yet More Adventures with Britannia(London:I.  \nB.Tauris,2005);\\#2,in Mary Coll,ed.,Faithful Companions:Collected Eesays Celebratingthe 25thAnniversary of the Kate O'Brien Weekend(Limerick:Mellick Press,2009);\\#3,  \n\\#5,\\#8,\\#15Journal of Palstine Studies;\\#4,\\#6,\\#7,\\#9,\\#10,\\#12,\\#13,\\#18,\\#20,LondonReview of Bookr;\\#11,\\#29,Guardian;\\#14,in Jane Davis,ed.,Politics and InternationalRelations in the Middle East(Aldershot:Edward Elgar,1995);\\#16,in Louise Fawcetted.,Internarional Relations of the Middle East(Oxford:Oxford University Press,2005);\\#17,\\#26,New York Review of Books;\\#19,Israel Studies;\\#21,The Narion;\\#22,in KenBooth and Tim Dunne eds.,Worlds in Colision:Terror and the Futur ofWorld Order(London:Palgrave,2002);\\#23,Logos;\\#25,Islamica;\\#27,in Aded Iskandar and HakemRustom,eds.,Emancipation and Representation:On the Intellectual Meditations of EdwandSaid(Berkeley:University of California Press,forthcoming);\\#30,Jewish Chronick  \nFirst published by Verso 2009◎Avi Shlaim 2009All rights reserved  \nThe moral rights of the auchor have been asserted  \n13579108642  \nVerso  \nUK:6Meard Street,London W1F0EGUS:20 Jay Street,Suite 1010,Brooklyn,NY 11201www.versobooks.com  \nVerso is the imprint of New Left Books  \nISBN-13:978-1-84467-366-7  \nBritish Library Cataloguing in Publication DataA catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library  \nLbrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataA catalog record for this book is available from the Library of Congress  \nTypeset by Hewer Text UK Ltd,EdinburghPrinted in the US by Maple Vail  \nTo Tamar  \nIntroductionChronologyMaps  \nxi  \nPart I 1948 and After  \n1 The Balfour Dedaration and its Consequences  \n3  \n2 The Civil War in Palestine25  \n3 The Rise and Fall of the All-Palestine Government in Gaza 37  \n546277  \n4 Did They Leave or Were They Pushed?  \n5 Husni Zaim and the Plan to ResertlePalestinian Refugees in Syria  \n6 All the Difference  \n7 Israc's Dirty War84  \n8 The Struggle for Jordan93  \n9 Abu Nidal,Abu Shmidal104  \n10 Sleepless Afternoons  \n114  \nPart Ils To Oslo and Beyond  \n11 The Face chat Launched a Thousand MiGs123  \n12 Arab Nationalism and its Discontents128  \n13 Israel and the Gulf141  \n14 Changing Places:The Madrid Peace Conference  \n152  \n15 Prelude to the Oslo Accord:Likud,Labour and thePalestinians  \n168  \n16 The Rise and Fall of the Oslo Peace Process  \n187  \n17 Woman of the Year210  \n224  \n18 Overtaken by Events  \n19 The Likud in Power:The Historiographyof Revisionist Zionism235  \n20 Capital Folly  \n253  \nPart III:The Breakdown of the Peace Process  \n21 The Lost Steps263  \n22 George W.Bush and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict  \n277  \n23 Ariel Sharon's War Against the Palestinians  \n285  \n24 Palestine and Iraq296  \n25 Israel's War Against Hamas:Rhetoric and Reality  \n307  \nPart IV:Perspectives  \n26 His Royal Shyness:King Hussein and Israel32127 Edward Said and the Palestine Question34328 Four Days in Seville35729 Benny Morris and the Betrayal of History36130 Free Speech?Not for Critics of Israel366  \nNotes373Acknowledgements381Index383  \n## Introduction\n\nhe Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most bitter,protracted,violent and seemingly intractable conflicts ofmodern times.This book brings together my writings onthe Palestine question over the last quarter of a century.With theexception of the chapter on the Balfour Declaration of 1917,thetime span of this volume begins with the Palestine War of 1948 andends with the savage war launched by Israel on Gaza in December2008.Between these melancholy dates fall nearly all the eventsdiscussed in the following pages.  \nThe chapters in this book,although they were written at differenttimes,have one thing in common:they are a testimony to analternative view,to a more crit","cbCaisiCeX0CbbOT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisiCeX0CbbOT","pdf",6348873,1,416,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Part I 1948 and After\n## The Balfour Declaration and its Consequences\n## The Civil War in Palestine\n## The Rise and Fall of the All-Palestine Government in Gaza\n## Did They Leave or Were They Pushed?\n## Husni Zaim and the Plan to Resettle Palestinian Refugees in Syria\n## All the Difference\n## Israel's Dirty War\n## The Struggle for Jordan\n## Abu Nidal, Abu Shmidal\n## Sleepless Afternoons\n# Part II To Oslo and Beyond\n## Prelude to the Oslo Accord: Likud, Labour and the Palestinians\n## The Rise and Fall of the Oslo Peace Process\n# Part III: The Breakdown of the Peace Process\n## George W.
