Raktažodžiai:
A historical account of the international legal methods that were used to create Israel.


The Palestine-Israel conflict often raises questions about international law, related to both Israel's legitimacy and violent Palestinian resistance to occupation. This book is the first of its kind to study the international legal methods used to create Israel, shedding light on the conflict as it exists today.Kattan shows that international law was both flouted and manipulated in order to create a Jewish homeland in 1948 and that this disregard for international legality caused much of the dispute and violence that exists today. The period of the British Mandate is analysed very closely, revealing the lobbying tactics that were dressed up as legal imperative and used to deny Palestinians rights to land and self-determination.This revealing and painstakingly researched book is a must for students of international law and anyone interested in the origins of the long-running Arab-Israeli conflict.

Recenzijos

'An elegant and forceful narrative by a young Palestinian scholar' -- Boutros Boutros Ghali, Former UN Secretary-General 'Offers a fresh analysis of a conflict with far-reaching implications for the region and beyond. ... A welcome addition to the search for a peace in the Middle East with human dignity for all its peoples at its centre' -- His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan 'Differing historical narratives and competing legal claims have characterised the Palestinian issue for over a hundred years. Victor Kattan gives them new meaning in his excellent study, which contains much new historical material and many new legal insights' -- John Dugard, Professor of Public International Law Emeritus, Leiden University and UN Special Rapporteur to the Occupied Palestinian Territories 2000-2008 'A well-researched and extremely informative book... One of the best on the subject' -- Dr Anis al-Qasem, former Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Palestinian National Council 'Lucid and Scholarly work. Kattan explains how Jews and Palestinians were tragically caught up in the net of Great Power politics. His critique of Zionism, while robust, fully acknowledges the oppression that the Jews of Europe suffered through antisemitism, a subject that he treats with sensitivity and insight ... This book could contribute to its resolution' -- Brian Klug, Senior Research Fellow and Tutor, St. Benet's Hall, University of Oxford. 'This is a book that students of the Israel / Palestine question will find impossible to ignore' -- John McHugo, Executive Member of The Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU) Detailed and well-researched, powerful and controversial' -- Elliot Shackleford, Berkeley Journal of International Law
