About Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State by Jeff Halper
Jeff Halper reframes what is often called the Israel-Palestine conflict through the concept of settler colonialism. The book examines how the Zionist project established a Jewish state in Palestine and, as described in the book’s presentation, displaced the Palestinian Arab population and marginalized its cultural presence.
Halper argues that a path toward justice and peace requires decolonization: dismantling structures of domination and control and replacing them with a single democratic state. He outlines a vision in which Palestinians and Israeli Jews build a shared political community, using the One Democratic State Campaign’s 10-point program to consider how that transition might proceed.
Topics include Zionist expansion, the management of legitimacy, Palestinian resistance and agency, and strategies for decolonization. The book may interest readers of Israel-Palestine politics, decolonization, and activism focused on Palestinian rights and democracy.
