The election of Barack Obama brought hope to millions around the world. Change was promised. But the Israel/Palestine conflict remains mired in brutality and occupation. The election of a far-right Israeli government, the indiscriminate Gaza war and the illegal expansion of West Bank colonies seems to indicate a dire future. But cracks are appearing. Public debate about the issue, in the US, UK and America, is changing. Dissenters are gaining their voice. Fresh ways of tackling the crisis are appearing. In a fully updated edition, best-selling author Antony Loewenstein examines the future of the Middle East peace process and offers a prescient interpretation of current events. This book is a prognosis of one of the central issues of our age.
