The Palestine-Israel conflict is one of the longest running and seemingly most - intractable conflicts in the modern world. This book delves deep into the - 'peace process' to find out why so little progress has been made. - Zalman Amit and Daphna Levit find overwhelming evidence of Israeli - rejectionism as the main cause of the failure of peace. They demonstrate that - the Israeli leadership has always been against a fairly negotiated peace, - deliberately stalling negotiations for the last 80 years. The motivations behind - this rejectionist position have changed, as have the circumstances of the - conflict, but the conclusion has remained consistent - peace has not been in - the interests of the state of Israel. - A fascinating read, this book draws on a wealth of primary sources u - including Hebrew letters, documents and transcripts u to show that it is the - Palestinians who lack a viable 'partner for peace'. It will be a useful resource - for scholars, activists and journalists.
