Description
With daily changes in the headlines, it has become more important than ever to understand the history of the problems between Israelis and Palestinians, in order to make sense of the present. The crucial political influence of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and its relationship to Israel form the focus of this new coedited volume. Bringing together top scholars of Israeli, Palestinian, and other international origins, The PLO and Israel examines not only the history of the PLO and its conflict with Israel, but also the transition by the PLO from the national liberation movement of the Palestinian people to a functioning governing body. An unusual attempt to bridge a gap over national historical narratives, The PLO and Israel presents an Israeli-Palestinian dialogue about a common past and offers hope for a deeper understanding in the future.
