Description
With the full backing of successive U.S. governments, Israel has maintained a savage war against the Palestinians for decades. The aim is nothing less than to force the Palestinian people to surrender their just demands for self-determination.
After years of being told that a U.S.-brokered “peace process” would bring them a better life and their own state, Palestinians today are worse off than they have ever been. Israel’s illegal settlements have doubled. Unemployment and poverty have risen dramatically. And Palestinians face the daily humiliations and brutality of life under military occupation.
The Struggle for Palestine gets behind the headlines and myths about the occupation and the “peace process” to expose the role of the U.S. government in sponsoring Israel’s war against the Palestinians. It documents the efforts of Palestinians to win their freedom, and it presents a clear vision of a real solution: the creation of a secular, democratic state in all of Palestine.
