The Olive Branch from Palestine by Jerome M Segal

The Olive Branch from Palestine by Jerome M Segal

The Olive Branch from Palestine provides a new narrative of the Palestinian effort to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and offers a bold plan for ending this conflict today, a proposal that focuses on Palestinian agency and the power of the Palestinians to bring about the two-state solution, even in the absence of a fully committed Israeli partner.   In part 1, Jerome Segal provides an analytical and historical study of the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence, a remarkable act of unilateral peacemaking through which the PLO accepted the legitimacy of the 1947 Partition Resolution and thereby redefined Palestinian nationalism. In part 2, he proposes a new strategy in which, outside of negotiations, the Palestinians would advance, in full detail, the end-of-claims/end-of-conflict peace plan they are prepared to sign, one that powerfully addresses the Palestinian refugee question and is supported by the refugees themselves yet does not undermine Israel as a Jewish-majority state.

Jerome M. Segal, an American philosopher whose writings in 1988 were a catalyst for the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, is author of Creating the Palestinian State and coauthor of Negotiating Jerusalem. He is internationally known as one of the most innovative conflict-resolution practitioners.
