Facts on the Ground: Democracy, Zionism, And the Future of Palestine

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13181 ratings)

Description:Unlike any previous book on Israel and Palestine, "Facts on the Ground" depicts up close the everyday political and social realities of ordinary Palestinians, a people locked in struggle against escalating attempts to institutionalize assimilation and apartheid. This exceptional anthology brings together disparate voices that are all but unheard in the United States, where mainstream media casts the conflict as if the only players were big governments, most notably the United States and Israel. Blending analysis, on-the-ground reporting, and interviews, "Facts on the Ground" gathers a staggering array of the stakeholders involved-from frontline resistance fighters to members of the Knesset. Collectively, the contributors boldly challenge the compatibility of Zionism and democracy while revealing the complexities of self-determination in the promised land.Activist intellectuals Tikva Honig-Parnass and Toufic Haddad are uniquely qualified to shepherd this collective inside examination of the Palestinian struggle. Honig-Parnass waged actual war for Israel in 1948, before it was a state, and went on to be the Knesset secretary for the left Zionist party Mapam. Active in various radical and feminist movements, she now advocates for an Israeli democracy that would entail full Palestinian participation. Starting in 1987, she edited the important journal "News from Within" under the auspices of the pro-democracy Alternative Information Center. Haddad, a Palestinian American raised in Kuwait, came to the United States to complete his education and moved to Palestine in 1997, where he edited "News from Within" with Honig-Parnass. Following the onset of the Second (al-Aqsa) Intifada, inlate 2002 Haddad and Honig-Parnass co-founded "Between the Lines," the radical Jerusalem-based magazine and source of the selections now available here in "Facts on the Ground,"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
