Yet, despite, or perhaps because of, the degree of international attention it receives, the conflict is still widely misunderstood. While Israelisand Palestinians and their respective supporters trade accusations, many outside observers remain confused by the conflict's complexity and perplexed by the passion it arouses.The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG offers an even-handed and judicious guide to the world's most intractable dispute. Writing in an engaging, jargon-free QandA format, Dov Waxman provides clear and concise answers to common questions, from the most basic to the mostcontentious. Covering the conflict from its nineteenth-century origins to the latest developments of the twenty-first century, this book explains the key events, examines the core issues, and presents the competing claims and narratives of both sides. Readers will learn what the Israeli-Palestinianconflict is all about, how it has evolved over time, and why it continues to defy diplomatic efforts at a resolution.
