Reviews

'With informed lucidity, political sophistication and moral integrity Halper depicts the path from here to there. What is most unexpected, given present realities, is that this manages to be a book of realistic hope, the finest work of advocacy scholarship I have ever read' -- Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, was the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights and author of 'Palestine's Horizon' (Pluto, 2017) 'A powerful and convincing case - a must read for anyone looking for fresh ideas of how to end the long and bloody conflict in Palestine' -- Ilan Pappe, Professor of History and Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter 'Helps us to see light at the end of the tunnel. At a time when Israel is seeking to legalise its apartheid regime and colonisation of occupied Palestine, it is vital to imagine and discuss alternative futures' -- Haidar Eid is Associate Professor of Postcolonial and Postmodern Literature at Gaza al-Aqsa University and the author of 'Countering the Palestinian Nakba: One State for All' (Riga: Noor Publishing, 2017) 'This is the first serious contribution in drawing a path to the project of liberating Palestine' -- Awad Abdelfattah, Former Secretary General of the Balad/Tajamu Party and Coordinator of the One Democratic State Campaign (ODSC) 'Jeff Halper harnesses his extremely sharp and original mind alongside his prophetic voice to change the international debate. A gem for both the novice as well as the expert, his book offers a brilliant analysis of Israel's colonial project and outlines what a decolonial horizon might look like' -- Neve Gordon, author of 'Human Shields: A History of People in the Line of Fire' (University of California Press, 2020) 'An important chapter in the development of a conversation that will form the foundation of a just regime for the inhabitants of the country and the refugees' -- Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, founder and former director of the NGO Zochrot and co-founder of De-Colonizer, a research/art laboratory for social change 'Strikes at the core of the political revolution boiling under the surface in Israel/Palestine. Halper serves a generous helping of hope for anyone who cares about the future of this land' -- Shir Hever, political economist and author of 'The Political Economy of Israel's Occupation' (Pluto Press, 2010) 'It is fashionable to say that the two-state solution to Israel-Palestine is dead. Jeff Halper thinks it was never born. In this brave, thought-provoking and highly original book, he presents both a searching critique of Zionist settler colonialism and a compelling case for one democratic state with equal rights for all its citizens' -- Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford and author of 'The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World' (Penguin, 2014)
