This doesn’t come out until September but I’m reading it now and it’s *exceptional*. One of the best things I’ve ever read about the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. us.macmillan.com/books/978037...

Sounds interesting. Support brick and mortar bookstores; buy from Powell's or Bookshop (which supports local shops).

What about it do you think distinguishes it from other books on the topic?

The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Dr. Rashid Khalidi is an invaluable overview of many of the key circumstances and events in the “conflict”, and is frequently informed by first and secondhand connections to powerful agents of those events - very worth your time if you haven’t read it

I haven't read this, of course. That failure has a generations-long history, but, IMO, it finally failed when the IDF assassinated Yitzhak Rabin.

Peace is hard work. It seems both sides find it easier to fight each other and drag the rest of the world along and pick sides.

Look at history and current events from the Palestinian rather than Zionist perspective like smug white "liberals" often do, and you'll know why.

Its been said genetically Israelis and Palestinians are identical. And this makes sense when you look at the history of the region. If you are talking about Israelis, and not Jews, you can’t tell them apart physically from Palestinians. I feel like this should get more attention.

Does it get into why the Palestinians deserved to have their land taken from them because the Nazis committed atrocities?

The synopsis ending says a lot “the gaps separating Israelis and Palestinians have less to do with territorial allocation than with history and emotions.” Almost biblical. Jacob and Essau. After many years of hate they do eventually forgive… we can only hope.

Except they remained in conflict for centuries; eventually the Maccabeans conquered the Edomites but then the latter (Herod and his descendants) ended up the last rulers of the kingdom.

Just read the link and the ending stood out …. “the gaps separating Israelis and Palestinians have less to do with territorial allocation than with history and emotions.” The Bible got it right

It was always going to fail because Israel was never going to let the 2 state solution happen. Never. They are now an evil genocidal state that imho doesn’t deserve to exist.
