Though structured to complement Alan Dowty's introductory text\u003ci\u003e Israel\/Palestine \u003c\/i\u003e(4th edition, Polity 2017), this Reader also stands on its own as a survey of \"voices\" in the conflict.  Each of the ten chapters is framed by an editorial introduction that sets the pieces in context. By juxtaposing contrasting viewpoints both between and within the opposed parties, these pieces underline the drama of the conflict, while final judgment is left to the reader. This lively volume will add color and texture to any study of Arab–Israeli issues or of the Middle East generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Two Worlds Collide 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 \"What Is a Nation?\" Ernest Renan 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Innocents Abroad Mark Twain 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 \"Nu'man al-Qasatli's Travels in Palestine\" Abdul-Karim Rafeq 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 The Jewish Story 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Two Poems by Yehuda Halevi 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Bilu Manifesto, 1882 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Jewish State Theodor Herzl 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 \"On the Slaughter\" Chaim Nachman Bialik 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 \"A Hidden Question\" Yitzhak Epstein 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 \"Open Questions\" Nehama Pukhachewsky 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The Arab Story 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 References to Jews in the Quran 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 \"On the Franks\" Usamah ibn Munqidh 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 The Arab Awakening George Antonius 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 The Awakening of the Arab Nation Najib Azuri 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 \"My View of Zionism\" Khalil as-Sakakini 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 The Emergence of Israel 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 \"The Iron Wall\" Vladimir Jabotinsky 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 \"The Arab Case for Palestine\" Hamid Frangieh 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 \"We Have Our State\" Golda Meir 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 \"Memoirs of the First Palestine War\" Gamal Abdul Nasser 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 \"War Is Inevitable: Why?\" Gamal Abdul Nasser 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Central Intelligence Agency, Memorandum, May 26, 1967 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The Reemergence of the Palestinians 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 \"Identity Card\" Mahmoud Darwish 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 \"An Olive Branch and a Gun\" Yasir Arafat 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 \"The Road to Peace\" Anwar Sadat 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 \"The 1978 Negotiations at Camp David\" Ezer Weizman 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 \"The Road to Oslo\" Mahmoud Abbas 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 The First Pass at Peace 111\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 \"The Palestinians' Fourteen Demands\" Sari Nusseibeh 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 \"The Oslo Accord\" Yossi Beilin 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e28 \"The Oslo Accord\" Mahmoud Abbas 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e29 \"Collapse at Camp David\" (Interview with Ehud Barak) Benny Morris 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e30 \"Collapse at Camp David\" Robert Malley Hussein Agha 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 The Fourth Stage 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e31 Hamas Covenant (1988) 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e32 \"The Second Intifada\" (Interview with Marwan Barghouti) Toufic Haddad 138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e33 The Intifada: Israel Government White Paper 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e34 Palestine Papers: Olmert's Offer to Abu Mazen 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e35 \"My Offer to Abbas\" Ehud Olmert 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e36 \"Conditions for a Two-State Solution\" Benjamin Netanyahu 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 The Downward Spiral 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e37 \"Recognize Palestine as a UN Member State\" Mahmoud Abbas 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e38 \"Collapse of Kern\/Initiative\" Martin Indyk 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e39 \"2014 Gaza War: Palestinian View\" Diana Buttu 168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e40 \"2014 Gaza War: Israeli View\" Benjamin Netanyahu 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e41 \"Saving the Two-State Solution\" John Kerry 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 The Impasse that Remains 180\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e42 \"Territorial Issues\" Michael Herzog 182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e43 \"West Bank Settlements: A Palestinian View\" Walid Salem 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e44 \"West Bank Settlements: An Israeli View\" Hillel Halkin 192\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e45 \"The Refugee Issue: A Palestinian View\" Rashid Khalidi 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e46 \"The Refugee Issue: An Israeli View\" Efraim Karsh 201\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 The Perfect Conflict 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e47 \"The One-State Solution: A Palestinian Version\" Ghada Karmi 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e48 \"The One-State Solution: An Israeli Version\" Naftali Bennett 212\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e49 \"The Two-State Solution\" David C.
