One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse
More books
 As
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict rages on with relatively new
leadership on both sides, we are led to ask what has become a
perennial yet only more urgent question -- will this conflict
ever be resolved in a way that will finally bring peace to the
region?
The son of Palestinians who fled the country in 1948, Electronic
Intifada co-founder Ali Abunimah makes the radical argument that
what is needed is one state shared by Palestinians and Israelis
in his new book, ONE COUNTRY: A Bold Proposal to End the
Israeli-Palestinian Impasse. Ali will also be speaking
throughout the country and make media appearances to coincide
with the launch of his new book.Contents

Electronic Intifada website since 2001 and, more recently, of
Electronic Iraq and Electronic Lebanon. A graduate of Princeton
University and the University of Chicago, he has written for the
Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. A
resident of Chicago, he also directs research for the design of
children's services in the United States and Europe.
Reviews
'Ali
Abunimah, the increasingly prominent 34-year old
Palestinian-American activist and writer, never shies away from
confronting those who support Israel at the expense of
Palestinians. Best known for creating in 2001 the popular
electronic intifada website (www.electronicintifada.org),
Abunimah and his cadre of bloggers are currently relied upon not
only by activists but also by members of the U.S. intelligence
community for analysis and reporting from areas deemed too
hazardous for American passport holders. From The Washington
Post to major broadcast media outlets, Abunimah's profile
rises each time he takes on pro-Likud Goliaths -- at times with
calm intellect and at others with trenchant reprimands --
including debates with Jerry Falwell and Daniel Pipes.'
