[Marxism] NEW TITLE: Road Map to Nowhere: Israel/Palestine Since 2003 - Tanya Reinhart

NEW TITLE
  Road Map to Nowhere
  Israel/Palestine Since 2003
  Tanya Reinhart
   
  The Road Map to Nowhere is a devastating and timely book, essential to 
understanding the current state of the Israel/Palestine crisis and the 
propaganda that infects its coverage. Based on extensive analysis of 
information in the mainstream Israeli media, it argues that the current road 
map has brought no real progress and that, under cover of diplomatic successes, 
Israel is using the road map to strengthen its grip on the remaining occupied 
territories. Exploring the Gaza pullout of 2005, the West Bank "separation 
wall", the rise to power of the Kadima party and Hamas, Reinhart examines the 
gap between myth ? the Israeli leadership?s public affairs achievement that has 
led the West to believe that a road map is in fact being implemented ? and 
bitter reality. 
  Reinhart shows that throughout, Ariel Sharon?s goals, and those of his 
successor Ehud Olmert, have stayed the same; to maintain Gaza as a closed 
prison, to transform the West Bank into a system of sealed enclaves and to 
annex Palestinian land under cover of the construction of the "separation 
wall". The army, which represents the true power in Israel, will forcibly 
ensure the legacy of Sharon is applied ? Hamas? election success represents an 
ideal pretext to do so.
  This powerful new book is written with the rigor and sharp anger of one of 
the rare Israeli intellectuals who had long predicted and explained the 
prolonged stalemate of the successive "peace processes" initiated by the 1993 
Oslo accords.
   
  Praise for Israel/Palestine: How to End the War of 1948 - 
   
  ?Tanya Reinhart?s Israel/Palestine is the most devastating critique now 
available of Israel?s policy toward the Palestinian people. Written with 
urgency and an unflinching clarity, it deserves to be read by every American.? 
Edward W. Said
   
  ?Tanya Reinhart?s informative and chilling analysis could hardly be more 
timely. It should be read and considered with care, and taken very seriously.? 
Noam Chomsky
