About this title: A provocative approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--one state for two peoples--that is sure to touch nerves on all sides The Israeli-Palestinian war has been called the world's most intractable conflict. It is by now a commonplace that the only way to end the violence is to divide the territory in two, and all efforts at a resolution have come down to haggling over who gets what: Will Israel hand over 90 percent of the West Bank or only 60 percent? Will a Palestinian state include any part of Jerusalem? Clear-eyed, sharply reasoned, and compassionate, "One Country" proposes a ...

"If a two-state solution is the U.S. government's official position, isn't that enough to make one realize that's probably not a solution that could ever be fair to Palestinians? That's my simple argument. I'd recommend reading Abunimah's much more complex one."
"A succinct, well-argued possible solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. It's appealing because Abunimah focuses on human rights, democratic principles, and minority political and cultural rights. He argues for a one-state solution based on reconciliation (like in South Africa), instead of ethnically-based land claims that inevitably make two-state partition agreements impossible.
Sometimes I wonder how my position as an outsider influences my agreement with compromises like this."
"This book was exactly what I wanted in a book about Palestine. Abunimah intertwined relevant moments from his own family's history with a sharp, hopeful, and most importantly easy to read account of Zionism and a proposal for a one state solution. Abunimah made a compelling and detailed arguement for the ways in which the idea of a two state solution has maintained Israelis and Palestinians in a state of violent limbo year after year. I loved that he was compassionate towards both sides and talked about feelings and trauma and fear without apologizing for Israel's oppresive project. I learned A LOT! Read it! Now!"
"I ordered this book after hearing Alice Walker recommend it on Pacifica Radio. The State of Israel is one of the main philosophical conundrums "occupying" my mind.
5/4 - I got the book today and read the introduction. I think I will like this book...and I think I will be in agreement w/ Abunimah that a one-state solution is best. This issue is very close to my heart.
6/1 - Finished this book last night. I must have been ripe for it because by the end I found myself feeling committed to a shared country for Israelis and Palestinians. If you think I'm crazy, read it!"
