Lorenzo Veracini argues that the conflict is best understood in terms of colonialism. Like many other societies, Israel is a settler society. Looking in detail at the evolution of other colonial regimes -- apartheid South Africa, French Algeria and Australia -- Veracini presents a thoughtful interpretation of the dynamics of colonialism, offering a clear framework within which to understand the middle east crisis.Veracini challenges two important myths: firstly, that the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is unique and defies comparative approaches; and secondly that the struggle is mainly based in nationality and religion and therefore different to typical colonial conflicts. On the contrary, Veracini shows how Israeli society is organised along apartheid lines -- and that apartheid was not unique to South Africa, but a common feature of colonisation. He examines wars of decolonization, and conflicts where whole native populations were all but eradicated -- as in Australia. Comparing and contrasting these with the more recent history of Israel and Palestine, he offers a critical perspective on colonialism as well as important new insights into patterns of imperialism today. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xCauses 606 $aZionism 606 $aJews$xColonization$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aColonies$xHistory 607 $aIsrael$xHistory 607 $aIsrael$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xCauses. 615 0$aZionism. 615 0$aJews$xColonization$xHistory. 615 0$aColonies$xHistory. 676 $a320.54095694 700 $aVeracini$b Lorenzo$0893760 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454691603321 996 $aIsrael and settler society$91996412 997 $aUNINA
