Opis

The first truly interdisciplinary study of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to appear in recent years, Immoral Wars and Illegal Laws is a reference book, an account of personal experiences and observations on the ground, and an analysis of the stubborn historical, religious and political views and positions contributing to this seemingly insoluble conflict. Readers will find complete lists of all relevant international laws and violations of those laws, a review of all partition and resolution plans and proposals, and up-to-date, heart-rending descriptions of grass-roots, hands-on peacemaking efforts such as International Solidarity and Christian Peace Teams movements and the recent Gaza Humanitarian Aid march and flotillas. Tie-ins to post 9-11 erosions in U.S. human rights ideals provide chilling and strongly relevant food for thought. Unabashedly controversial, Immoral Wars and Illegal Laws is a passionate advocacy for peace with justice in the Middle East backed up by solid scholarship.
