Description

The two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no longer viable. In "Paradigm Lost", Ian S. Lustick offers a provocative explanation for why attempts to divide the land have failed, and how this has inadvertently set the stage for new struggles. Lustick argues that the combination of Zionism's Iron Wall strategy, an Israeli political culture saturated with Holocaustia, and the influence of the Israel lobby on American policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict have scuttled efforts to establish a Palestinian state. Instead, he suggests that shifting attention from two-state blueprints to the democratizing competition between different subgroups within the same polity could lead to new alliances and redefine interests. This book challenges the notion that negotiations for a two-state solution are necessary or productive, instead proposing a more nuanced approach to resolving the conflict.
