An Israeli In Palestine: Resisting Dispossession, Redeeming Israel

by Jeff Halper
Cost: $20

In this book, the Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price: Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without imposing on the country’s Palestinian population policies of ethnic cleansing, occupation, and discrimination. This, Halper argues, is expressed most graphically in its ongoing demolition of thousands of Palestinian homes, both inside Israel and in the Occupied Territories.

An Israeli in Palestine records Halper’s revelation that he is actually living in another country: Palestine. Without dismissing the legitimacy of his own country, he realizes that Israel is defined by its oppressive relationship with the Palestinians. Pleading for a view of Israel as a real, living country which must by necessity evolve and change, Halper asks whether the idea of an ethnically pure ‘Jewish State’ is still viable. More to the point, he offers ways in which Israel can redeem itself through a cultural Zionism upon which regional peace and reconciliation can be attained.

Jeff Halper, an Israeli Professor of Anthropology, has been a leading figure within the Israeli peace movement for over thirty years and the head of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). Halper was nominated by the American Friends Service Committee for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize and is the author of Obstacles to Peace (2005) and Between Redemption and Revival (1991).

Obstacles to Peace
A Re-Framing of the Palestinian – Israeli Conflict

by Jeff Halper & Michael Younan, published by ICAHD
Cost: $20

This book grew out of tours of the Occupied Territories given by ICAHD for diplomats, journalists, study missions and activists. It describes Israel’s “Matrix of Control”; it examines the ideological underpinnings and military logic of Israeli expansion; it addresses the issue of terrorism and resistance; it asks what will happen if the Occupation becomes irreversible; it suggests the outlines of a just peace; and it offers practical steps to mounting effective international campaigns.

Both Sides of Peace

by Dana Bartelt
Cost: $20

Political posters created by Israeli and Palestinian artists from the mid-1970s to the present reveal and document the issues central to the Middle East conflict. This volume includes images by several internationally acclaimed artists as well as some who are unknown. While some were mass produced, others are original paintings and drawings. All speak in their own visual and written languages and tell a story of struggle, survival, and the hope for lasting freedom and peace. The book gives equal importance to the perspectives of the graphic designers of each of these very different cultures.


The Iron Wall – DVD

by Mohammed Alatar
Cost: $20
“The best description of the barrier, its routing and impact is shown in the film The Iron Wall.”
- President Jimmy Carter

Following the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, more than 200 settlements and outposts have been built in these territories, in violation of international law. The Iron Wall exposes this phenomenon and follows the time-line, size, and population of the settlements, reveals how their construction has been a cornerstone of Israeli policy, and demonstrates how the Wall secures them as permanent and irreversible facts on the ground.

The Iron Wall features interviews with prominent Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and political analysts, including Jeff Halper, Akiva Eldar, Hind Khoury, and others. Also included are eye-opening interviews with Israeli settlers and soldiers as well as Palestinian farmers. [from PalestineOnlineStore]
