What is Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict about?

This acclaimed study surveys the dominant popular & scholarly images of the Israel–Palestine conflict. Finkelstein opens with a theoretical discussion of Zionism, locating it as a romantic form of nationalism that assumed the bankruptcy of liberal democracy. He goes on to look at the demographic origins of the Palestinians, with particular reference to the work of Joan Peters, & develops critiques of the influential studies of both Benny Morris & Anita Shapira. Reviewing the diplomatic history with Aban Eban‘s oeuvre as his foil, Finkelstein closes by demonstrating that the casting of Israel as the innocent victim of Arab aggression in the June 1967 & October 1973 wars is not supported by the documentary record.This new edition critically reexamines dominant popular & scholarly images in the light of the current failures of the peace process.
