First a disclaimer -- Professor Arzt was a professor of mine so anything I say about this book should be read in that context.
She looks at the history of the refugee crisis, from the begining of the Irsaeli Arab wars to the post-Oslo period. I found the histroical sections straigth forward and informative. While pro-Israeli, she does not sugar coat the past.
Professor Arzt called for an end to the Palestinian crisis by the radical step of making Palestinians citizens of their own state (on the West Bank and Gaza), but also citizens of the states where they reside. She would allow a limited number of older Palestinians to return to Israel, but also move many of the Palestinian refugees out of Lebanon. All Palestinians would be given a passport of the Palestinian state. Those who live in other states (Israel, other Arab states or elsewhere) would also be make a citizen of that state. Emminently reasonable, which is why her proposal was attacked by both sides for strongly. Unfortunately, I fear the solution is no longer viable following 9/11, Iraq, the Intifada and the Israeli-Hezbullah war.
