A challenge to fundamentally rethink the basis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today.

This thought-provoking analysis — written by a Palestinian and Israeli who collaborate together to challenge the dominant understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — shows how the apartheid-like conditions of Palestinians today have deep roots in the history of Israel.

The only book of its kind to be written jointly by an Israeli, who fought in the Palmach to establish the state of Israel in 1948, and a Palestinian.

Founded shortly after the eruption of the Al Aqsa Intifada in late September 2000 and published regularly until September 2003, the now defunct political journal Between the Lines published pieces by Palestinians, Israelis, and others in an effort to correct informational, ideological, and contextual distortions of the Israeli-Palestine situation, which in the view of editors Honig- Parnass, a Jewish Israeli, and Haddad, a Palestinian American, is best characterized as a struggle between a Zionist colonization project embodied by the Israeli state and a colonized population of Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line separating Israel proper from the Occupied Territories. This volume collects articles from the pages of Between the Lines, providing analysis of both concurrent events and historical background and covering such topics as political fissures amongst the Palestinians, the unifying ideology of Zionist left and right, the meaning of Israeli election results, the regional implications of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. Of the 33 articles presented, a number were penned following the demise of Between the Lines and thus include discussion of more recent events such as the death of Yasser Arafat and the electoral victory of Hamas.
