What is Overview Series - The Palestine-Israeli Accord about?

<p>Presents an historical overview of the events leading up to the 1993 peace treaty between the state of Israel and the PLO.</p><h3>School Library Journal</h3><p>Gr 6-10This book examines the historical roots of the current conflict between the state of Israel and Palestinian Arabs, showing how contemporary Middle Eastern politics have been heavily influenced by British colonial domination of pre-Israeli Palestine. It also describes how the inconsistent and opportunistic foreign policy of England played Arabs and Jews against one another, exacerbating already existing rifts between the two peoples. Without taking sides, Corzine discusses the formation of the state of Israel and the series of wars that followed because of the refusal of Israel's Arab neighbors to accept the new nation's existence. Tracing Yasir Arafat's rise to political leadership of the PLO, the author outlines the difficult and often bloody path Arafat and Israeli leaders have traveled in seeking resolution to the deep-seated disagreements between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. She also covers more briefly the attempts at accommodation between Israel and other Middle Eastern nations. Black-and-white maps, p
