Reviews for Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-2001

A detailed account of the century-long struggle between Zionists and Palestinian Arabs that has destabilized the whole of the Middle East since the middle of the 20th century. This unique and tragic struggle between two conflicting nationalisms for the same small pice of territory has sucked in more and more states: it was first entangled with the interests of the British Empire, then with the fate of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe and finally, as Zionism became a worldwide rather than just a narrowly Russian and east European-based movement, the USA where it established deep roots after World War II and influenced American policy in the Middle East during the Cold War. It is still the world's greatest unresolved conflict. Even though some Arabs (especially the PLO and Syria) have come to accept that Israel is militarily indefatigable and have therefore grudgingly moved towards peace, many radical Arab states are not reconciled to a Jewish state in Palestine and it is not yet clear that either Israeli good will or ill-will will decisively temper or resolve this bitter hostility.
