The Case for Peace: How the Arab-Israeli Conflict Can Be Resolved de Alan M. Dershowitz

The Case for Peace: How the Arab-Israeli Conflict Can Be Resolved

Autor Alan M. Dershowitz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2006
In The Case for Peace, Dershowitz identifies twelve geopolitical barriers to peace between Israel and Palestine and explains how to move around them and push the process forward. From the division of Jerusalem and Israeli counterterrorism measures to the security fence and the Iranian nuclear threat, his analyses are clear–headed, well–argued, and sure to be controversial. According to Dershowitz, achieving a lasting peace will require more than tough–minded negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. In academia, Europe, the UN, and the Arab world, Israel–bashing and anti–Semitism have reached new heights, despite the recent Israeli–Palestinian movement toward peace. Surveying this outpouring of vilification, Dershowitz deconstructs the smear tactics used by Israel–haters and shows how this kind of anti–Israel McCarthyism is aimed at scuttling any real chance of peace.

Ariel Sharon
"Alan Dershowitz′s The Case for Peace is a sober, pragmatic, and yet enthusiastic voice for peace between Israel and Palestine, to be based not on sentimentalist wishful thinking and not on dogmatic theorizing but on realism and empathy. I read it with thrill."

Recenzii

ALAN Dershowitz has a lovely vision of Middle East peace, imagining democratic Israel and a democratic Palestine prospering together.
Harvard Law′s celebrity professor advocates a two–state solution, creating Palestine out of the territories Israel won in the 1967 war. Dershowitz believes two viable states with secure borders and stable political cultures can emerge from one of the world′s most troubled pieces of real estate.
Invoking history, justice, reason and the rule of law, he analyzes the problems, seeking mutually agreeable solutions. Yet, sadly, rather than showing, as the hopeful subtitle suggests, "How the Arab–Israeli Conflict Can Be Resolved," this book makes a more convincing case that the conflict will continue.
Dershowitz once again proves in clear and readable prose that Israel is flexible, peace–seeking and ready to compromise, while offering little evidence that many Palestinian leaders are equally reasonable, courageous or committed to peace or democracy.
This short, punchy primer details just how virulent Palestinian rejectionism is––and has been for decades. Jewish and international compromises reach back to the Peel Commission in the 1930s, yet, again and again, Palestinians––and their cynical Arab allies––have preferred maximalist dreams to imperfect compromises.
Combining an appellate lawyer′s precision with a courtroom showman′s passion, Dershowitz examines how Yasser Arafat, among other destructive leaders, repeatedly turned Palestinians away from state–building, compromise and democracy, fostering an autocratic, demagogic, corrupt, delusional political culture addicted to terror.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir famously lamented that Arabs must love their own children more than they hate Israel′s children for peace to flourish; now, Palestinians must become more committed to building a "democratic Palestinian state living in peace with a democratic Israel" than to destroying Israel.
Convinced that a pragmatic Palestinian majority can emerge, Dershowitz lambastes the academics, church leaders, diplomats, reporters and so–called "peace activists" who feed Palestinians′ delusions and sanction violence by demonizing Israel, no matter what it does.
Dershowitz and others advocating for a rational peace should challenge the West′s armchair jihadists for rationalizing Palestinian terrorism, robbing Palestinians and Jews of hope. And it is noble for intellectuals defending Israel′s legitimacy to dream of a possible compromise.
Dershowitz mischievously confounds critics by insisting that, while ardently pro–Israel, he remains liberal and "pro–Palestinian." But while occasionally mentioning a "peace process" and praising the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Dershowitz fails to identify that Palestinian peace camp essential to creating a new, stable Middle East.
This book assumes that Israel disengaged from Gaza successfully. But Israel withdrew unilaterally because there was no credible negotiating partner, had to build a fence because Palestinian terrorists continue to target Israeli civilians and even uprooted Jewish gravesites because of justified fears that Hamas activists would desecrate the corpses.
Dershowitz′s vision of peace will only work if Palestinians pass a simple test. Unless and until, Jews––and Jewish graves––can remain undisturbed on land ceded to the Palestinians, no peace is possible.
