by Tomis Kapitan

This volume addresses a number of philosophical problems that arise in consideration of the century-old conflict between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. Consisting of essays by fifteen contributors (including both Israeli and Palestinian philosophers) and a lengthy introduction by the editor, it deals with rights to land, sovereignity, self-determination, the existence and legitimacy of states, cultural prejudice, national identity, intercommunal violence, and religious intransigence.

Nothing particularly special here, other than the essay on the targeting of children by the IDF during the (first) Intifada. Most of the analysis was, unsurprisingly, decidedly mainstream.
