{"product_id":"9781783715893","title":"Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State","description":"What is Israel hoping to achieve with its recent withdrawal from Gaza and the buildiing of a 700 km wall? Journalist Jonathan Cook presents a lucid account of the motives. The heart of the issue, he argues, is demography. Israel fears the moment when the region's Palestinians--Israel's own Palestinian citizens and those in the Occupied Territories--become a majority. Inevitable omparisons with apartheid in South Africa will be drawn. The book charts Israel's increasingly desperate responses, including military repression of Palestinian dissent; a ban on marriages between Israel's Palestinian population and Palestinians living under occupation to prevent a right of return \"through the back door;\" and the redrawing of the Green Line to create an expanded state. Ultimately, the author concludes, these abuses will lead to a third, far deadlier intifada.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152478847216,"sku":"9781783715893","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783715893_p0.jpg?v=1763724146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783715893","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
