A selection of the many reviews for Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine
‘It is fashionable to say that the two-state solution to Israel-Palestine is dead. Jeff Halper thinks it was never born. In this brave, thought-provoking and highly original book, he presents both a searching critique of Zionist settler colonialism and a compelling case for one democratic state with equal rights for all its citizens’ — Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford and author of ‘The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World’ (Penguin, 2014)
‘Strikes at the core of the political revolution boiling under the surface in Israel/Palestine. Halper serves a generous helping of hope for anyone who cares about the future of this land’ – Shir Hever, political economist and author of ‘The Political Economy of Israel’s Occupation’ (Pluto Press, 2010)
‘Jeff Halper harnesses his extremely sharp and original mind alongside his prophetic voice to change the international debate. A gem for both the novice as well as the expert, his book offers a brilliant analysis of Israel’s colonial project and outlines what a decolonial horizon might look like’ –Neve Gordon, author of ‘Human Shields: A History of People in the Line of Fire’ (University of California Press, 2020)
