TY - GEN T1 - An Israeli in Palestine : resisting dispossession, redeeming Israel A1 - Halper, Jeff LA - English PP - London ; New York : Jerusalem PB - Pluto Press ; in association with ICAHD YR - 2010 ED - 2nd ed. UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocn730517924 AB - Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price: Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without imposing on the country's Palestinian population policies of ethnic cleansing, occupation and discrimination, expressed most graphically in its ongoing demolition of thousands of Palestinian homes, both inside Israel and in the Occupied Territories. An Israeli in Palestine records Halper's journey 'beyond the membrane' that shields his people from the harsh realities of Palestinian life to his 'discovery' that he was actually living in another country: Palestine. Without dismissing the legitimacy of his own country, he realises that Israel is defined by its oppressive relationship to the Palestinians. This second edition is includes an epilogue gauging the chances for peace after the failed Annapolis process.
