CHOICE Review

This volume is the seventh edition of documents, speeches, statements, etc., collected by two veteran Middle East scholars and first published in 1969. It includes over 180 items, from an 1882 statement by the BILU, an early Zionist group, to President George W. Bush's speech at the Annapolis Middle East conference in November 2007. The focus is on items relating to the conflict between Arab nationalism and initially Zionism, then Israel. Included are the diverse proposals to deal with the Arab-Israel conflict prior to establishment of the Jewish state. The editors include comments and proposals by US presidents for resolving the conflict and those of Yasser Arafat and other Palestinian leaders, including a record of the conversation in 1941 between Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini, the most prominent Palestinian Arab leader prior to WW II. Significant omissions are any reference to proposals for a binationalist resolution of the conflict, like those made by Hashomer Hatzair, a leading pre-Israel Zionist party, Martin Buber, and the 2003 Geneva Accord signed by prominent Palestinian Arabs and Israelis. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. D. Peretz emeritus, SUNY at Binghamton
