Jews sought a national home by "Public Law"; while Palestinians reject the project as illegal. Britain, the League of Nations and the United Nations all mobilised international law to justify their interventions. After the 1967 war, Israel organised an occupation with excessive legalism that most of the world viewed, in fact, as illegal. Partitioning Palestine focuses on three key moments in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: the League of Nations Mandate, the United Nations partition plan and the Oslo agreements. None of these documents are neutral but, rather, encode a variety of meanings. The book traces the way in which these legal narratives have both shaped national identity and sharpened the conflict. In this pioneering text, John Strawson argues that a committed attachment to the belief in legal justice has hampered the search for a settlement. Law, far from offering conflict resolution, has reinforced the trenches from which Palestinians and Israelis confront one another. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xLaw and legislation 607 $aPalestine$xInternational status 607 $aPalestine$xHistory$yPartition, 1947 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a341.26095694 700 $aStrawson$b John$0567942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812727103321 996 $aPartitioning Palestine$93978521 997 $aUNINA
