'It is fashionable to say that the two-state solution to Israel-Palestine is dead. Jeff Halper thinks it was never born. In this brave, thought-provoking and highly original book, he presents both a searching critique of Zionist settler colonialism and a compelling case for one democratic state with equal rights for all its citizens'
-- Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford and author of 'The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World' (Penguin, 2014)
'Strikes at the core of the political revolution boiling under the surface in Israel/Palestine. Halper serves a generous helping of hope for anyone who cares about the future of this land'
-- Shir Hever, author of 'The Political Economy of Israel's Occupation' (Pluto Press, 2010)
'An important chapter in the development of a conversation that will form the foundation of a just regime for the inhabitants of the country and the refugees'
-- Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, founder and former director of the NGO Zochrot
'Jeff Halper harnesses his extremely sharp and original mind alongside his prophetic voice to change the international debate. A gem for both the novice as well as the expert, his book offers a brilliant analysis of Israel's colonial project and outlines what a decolonial horizon might look like'
-- Neve Gordon, author of 'Human Shields: A History of People in the Line of Fire' (University of California Press, 2020)
'This is the first serious contribution in drawing a path to the project of liberating Palestine'
-- Awad Abdelfattah, Former Secretary General of the Balad/Tajamu Party and Coordinator of the One Democratic State Campaign (ODSC)
'Helps us to see light at the end of the tunnel. At a time when Israel is seeking to legalise its apartheid regime and colonisation of occupied Palestine, it is vital to imagine and discuss alternative futures'
-- Haidar Eid is Associate Professor of Postcolonial and Postmodern Literature at Gaza al-Aqsa University
'A powerful and convincing case - a must read for anyone looking for fresh ideas of how to end the long and bloody conflict in Palestine'
-- Ilan Pappe, Professor of History and Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter
'With informed lucidity, political sophistication and moral integrity Halper depicts the path from here to there. What is most unexpected, given present realities, is that this manages to be a book of realistic hope, the finest work of advocacy scholarship I have ever read'
-- Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, and author of 'Palestine's Horizon' (Pluto, 2017)
'This is a serious work that deserves to be widely read. Halper is among the few who not only understands that we are at a critical historical juncture, but is also able to analyze its multiple dimensions and offer a transformative plan of action'
-- Mouin Rabbani, Co-Editor of 'Jadaliyya'
'Amid a raft of failed policy choices, Halper's book is a cathartic practical vision of one possible way out of the protracted Israel-Palestine conflict'
-- Sophia Akram, The New Arab
'Halper's book is informative, offering an in-depth perspective that is lacking and addresses the concept of memory within the political framework of decolonisation'
-- Middle East Monitor
'An extremely convincing and persuasive argument that the only conceivable future for justice and peace necessitates a process of decolonization and equal rights for all'
-- Electronic Intifada
'He doesn't pretend that creating one democratic state will be easy but he contends that it is the only way for Palestinians and Israelis to gain long-term security and a viable way of life'
-- Jordan Times
An essential and empowering text for anyone interested in the history and future of Israel-Palestine'
-- Morning Star
'Thoughtful'
-- Labour Hub
'[Halper] reframes Israel as a settler-colonial state necessitating a clear oppositional political strategy with an end-game of actively decolonizing the whole political structure'
-- Counterpunch
'A return to an explicitly anti-colonial Palestinian liberation politics'
-- ROAR
'Timely'
-- 'Counterfire'
