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 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foreword, by Noam Chomsky\u003cbr\u003e Preface \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 • The Unilateral Surprise \u003cbr\u003e 2 • The Evolution of the Palestine Liberation Organization Prior to the Declaration\u003cbr\u003e 3 • 1988: Leading Up to the Declaration\u003cbr\u003e 4 • How the Declaration Was Drafted\u003cbr\u003e 5 • Darwish\u003cbr\u003e 6 • Two Declarations: Israeli and Palestinian Side by Side\u003cbr\u003e 7 • Reactions to the Declaration and Meeting the US Conditions\u003cbr\u003e 8 • The Struggle with the United States over Recognition of the New State\u003cbr\u003e 9 • PLO Strategy and the Declaration\u003cbr\u003e 10 • Early Statehood and Opportunities to Return to the Declaration\u003cbr\u003e 11 • The Path Out of the Current Impasse: Palestinian Peacemaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The Significance of the Declaration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: State of Palestine Declaration of Independence\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402950779223,"sku":"9780520381308","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520381308.jpg?v=1730481944","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-olive-branch-from-palestine-9780520381308","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
