Book Description:
|
The struggle for Palestinian sovereignty has been a quest for inclusion in--and recognition from--a world order that left them behind.Sovereignty has become a trap for Palestinians and getting out is a matter of political vision and will. The law does not determine any particular outcome, it only promises the contest over one.While Jewish and Palestinian sovereignty are incommensurable, their belonging is not. The law is not just and justice is not rule-based.
