{"product_id":"haifa-republic","title":"Haifa Republic","description":"\u003cb\u003eA provocative argument for a new way of seeing Israel, Zionism, and the two-state solution.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaifa Republic: A Democratic Future for Israel\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent wake-up call. The philosopher Omri Boehm argues that it is long past time to recognize that there will not be a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people. After fifty years, Israel s occupation of the West Bank constitutes annexation in all but name, even as the legitimate claims of the Arab population, soon to be a national majority, remain unaddressed. Meanwhile, daily life goes on under conditions rightly likened to apartheid. For liberals in Israel and America to continue to place their hopes in a two-state solution is a form of willful and culpable blindness, especially now that Israeli leaders across the political spectrum have begun to speak of ethnic cleansing. A catastrophe is in the making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eHaifa Republic\u003c\/i\u003e also offers grounds for hope. Catastrophe can be averted, Boehm contends, by reconfiguring Israel as a single binational state in which Palestinians and Jews both possess human rights and equal citizenship. The original Zionists Theodor Herzl, Ze ev Jabotinsky, and, early in his career, David Ben-Gurion all advocated such a federation, and as prime minister, Menachem Begin successfully submitted a kindred plan to the Knesset. A binational federation offers a last chance for the two peoples who call Palestine home to live in peace and mutual respect and to have a truly democratic future in common.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53987916448082,"sku":"9781681373935","price":19.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_f6a9d7d9-5896-4a34-9db1-2ab96dad0001.jpg?v=1783926199","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/haifa-republic","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
