Only a path toward a single-state secular democracy can provide the justice essential to healing the wounds of the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKovel is well-known writer on the Middle East conflict. This book draws on his detailed knowledge to show that Zionism and democracy are essentially incompatible. He offers a thoughtful account of the emergence and disintegration of Zionism that integrates psychological, political, cultural, economic, and ideological levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Kovel argues, a two-state solution is essentially hopeless as it concedes too much to the regressive forces of nationalism, wherein lie the roots of continued conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014822379760,"sku":"9780745325699","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780745325699_p0.jpg?v=1769901013","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780745325699","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
