Distinguished American, Canadian, Palestinian and Israeli contributors illuminate the building blocks on the possible path from conflict to reconciliation between Jews and Arabs. The book is divided into three parts: Part I looks at the Arab-Jewish Conflict, from early Zionism to the 1967 Arab-Israeli War; Part II, Israel and the Arab States, focuses on Israel’s relations with its neighbouring countries, Syria, and Lebanon; and Part III is concerned with the Peace Process, its dynamics and the missed opportunities for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
