Description
The Wall and the Gate: Israel, Palestine, and the Legal Battle for Human Rights by Michael Sfard explores the struggle for human rights in Israel's courts. A farmer from the occupied West Bank sought to petition the courts to allow a gate to be built in the wall separating his land from his olive groves. This case raises complex questions about the legitimacy of the separation wall and its impact on human rights. Sfard chronicles this struggle, recounting key cases and issues related to land confiscation, deportations, settlements, home demolitions, torture, and targeted killings. He exposes the surreal legal structures that have been erected to justify these actions, highlighting the reality of the occupation and the lives of those affected. This book sheds light on the human rights implications of Israel's policies in Palestine. By engaging with core principles of human rights law, Sfard offers a nuanced analysis of this critical issue. The Wall and the Gate is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of law, politics, and human rights in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
