Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Israeli journalist Tanya Reinhart provides a primer on the current Israeli/Palestinian crisis. She details the roots of the conflict, presents compelling evidence that Israel has been working to undermine the 1993 Oslo peace agreement, and discusses how the crisis is linked to America's war on terrorism.

About the Author
Tanya Reinhart is a professor of linguistics and cultural studies at Tel Aviv University and the University of Utrecht. Following the Oslo agreements she turned to political writing. She contributes a regular critical column to Yediot Aharonot, Israel's biggest daily, and publishes widely online and in the international media. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing Honesty and Wisdom, May 13, 2003
By Charles A. Homsy "seahomsy" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Professor Reinhart presents a history of the Israel/ Palestine conflict with coincides with at least four other books on this subject. Her power is to write cogently and clearly on the key elements in the Zionist taking of most of British mandate Palestine. She argues clearly and persuasively that it is in the interest of both parties that Israel withdraw from the Occupied Territories and thereby permit a viable Palestinian state on these 22 % of the mandate Palestine. A must read for any person wanting to understand the genesis and unfolding of the conflict. Her suggested resolution is persuasive to this reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undisputible facts, May 3, 2004
This is dynamite, I love it. I have been a friend of Israel's policy for a long time, mostly because of it well oiled military force (air force to be precise) and everything they've done. A purely professional, military opinion.
But it is reveling to read Tanya Reinhart, an expert on theoretical linguistics at Tel Aviv University, put forward all these facts about the conflict that has been hidden from the world community for more than half of a century. She also reveals what she calls "The Oslo Apartheid" and compares it with South Africans Apartheid system. It enlightes you I promise. It is objective and very well written.
She makes it clear that only an immediate and unconditional withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza can bring peace to the area. And she also states that in a 2002 survey 77 percent of Palestinians still agree that "both Israel and Palestine have the right to live in peace and security."
One of the most chocking facts are that the Israel's military force(taking order from the country's leaders), which is one of the most powerful in the world, also backed by the United States, deliberately shoots civilian Palestinians, not to kill, but to wound them and to practice. United States is of course the rouge state here. They block every UN resolution just to please the Jewish lobby in Washington D.C. And because of that Israel can continue to laugh at the UN Resolutions and crimes against the Geneva Conventions. It's a fact Serbians that committed war crimes face the Haag tribunal, but what about Israeli leaders, and of course Hamas terrorist.
To make peace USA HAVE to stop support Israel with money and guns. But as a student of international relations and political science at Halmstad University I recommend this book, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reinhart's Book is a Gem, October 15, 2002
By Rahul Mahajan (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Tanya Reinhart's book is a gem, combining analytical precision with in-depth understanding of her own society. She doesn't just blow apart the myth of Barak's "generous offer" -- she gives us a plausible interpretation of Barak's strategic reasoning. The fundamental question in Israeli society right now is, as she says, "How to end the War of 1948." Her counterposition of the two options -- Oslo-style apartheid vs. "transfer" -- is right on the money, but she goes further, exploring the civilian-military split at the heart of the question. Her analysis that Barak, like Sharon, is an advocate of transfer, and that both his non-negotiations with Syria and his non-offer at Camp David were deliberately designed to manipulate Israeli public opinion is original and compelling. The suggestions of high-level Israeli military collusion are intriguing, although likely the full story will come out only years later. Tanya Reinhart has not just repackaged standard analysis of the occupation -- she has seen deeper into the past five years of Israeli state policy than anyone else writing in English.
