As conflict continues to rage
throughout the Middle East, it appears the struggle will be along and painful one.
This detailed book begins with the period immediately following the death of
the 'father of Zionism', Theodore Herzl, and
provides an important exploration of the historical and political background
that colors the Arab-Israeli conflict. From Chaim Weizmann and Lord Balfour, to Yasser
Arafat and Bill Clinton3; from the Partition Plan, to the Six Day War, to the
Oslo peace process, The Rape of
Palestine explores fluctuations and changes in policy during
the twentieth century, and their consequences that are unfolding to this day.
