Palestine A - Z by Kate Thompson

Palestine A - Z by Kate Thompson

Palestine A - Z was produced in response to the often heard assertion that the Israel/Palestine issue is 'complicated'. Here is an explainer; a collection of short entries, in alphabetical order, covering the key parties, organisations and issues which are lost behind the headlines. What is Hamas? Where does the Balfour Declaration fit in? What is the Palestinian Authority and what were the Oslo Accords? From Administrative detention to Zionism, from Lavender to Where's Daddy, this short guide will help make sense of what is really going on in Palestine.

Kate Thompson lives on Ireland's west coast, which inspired the award-winning novels The New Policeman and The Last of the High Kings with its Irish magic, music, and beauty.
