ITEM OVERVIEW
In this fully revised and updated version of his highly acclaimed book The Obstruction Of Peace: The United States, Israel, And The Palestinians, Aruri dismantles the many myths about the failed Middle East "peace process." Aruri analyzes the evolving relationship between the United States and the two protagonists—the Palestinians and Israel—and argues that the US government, rather than serving as an "honest broker," has allowed Israel to use violence and violate international law to maintain its occupation. As a result of America's massive military, economic, and political support for Israel, Palestinians continue to be denied their fundamental right to self-determination and justice.
"Aruri's book is the first of its kind: an indispensable, hard-hitting, well-documented account of why the tragic unrest in Gaza is a portent of what is yet to come. No student or scholar of the Middle East, and no concerned citizen, should pass up the opportunity to read this remarkable work of scholarship and intellectual courage." —Edward Said
