A Modest Proposal...

In this important short book, Karl Sabbagh, a British-Palestinian writer, proposes a solution to the 100-year-old Palestine-Israel conflict. It is often said that this conflict, a running sore in international politics, is 'too complicated' for most people to understand. Sabbagh shows the opposite – that the conflict and its solution are surprisingly simple to understand and to carry out. What this book offers is a vision of a single state between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean, with equal rights for all its inhabitants, no loss of citizenship or residence for Israelis or Palestinians, and a novel solution to the right of return of Palestinian refugees. Written in a lively style, and informed by a lifetime of study of the issue, this book could form a breakthrough in the cycle of violence and 'peace talks' and more violence.
