What does Israel Fear from Palestine?
By Raja Shehadeh, Profile Books
RAJA SHEHADEH is a leading human rights lawyer as well as being a writer of great sensitivity, humanity and depth. His accounts of life under the occupation bring the reality of Palestinian experiences to international audiences, linking the personal with the political dimensions of the struggle.
Unsurprisingly then, his latest book, What does Israel Fear from Palestine? provides an exceptionally lucid account of the underlying causes of the war in Gaza, accompanied, as this has been, by escalating violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) on the West Bank. This sets the context for the consideration of what needs to change if there is to be some possibility of hope for the future.
