{"product_id":"the-new-intifada-isbn-9781859843772","title":"The New Intifada","description":"Frustrated by the failure of the peace process to end the Israeli occupation, and outraged by Ariel Sharon’s invasion, with one thousand armed guards, of the Al-Aqsa holy site in East Jerusalem, the Palestinian population of Israel and the Occupied Territories rose up in September 2000. A new intifada has raged ever since. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, a group of writers and analysts, many of them directly involved in the conflict, trace the origins of the uprising, its consequences for the Palestinian people and the Israeli state, and its likely impact on the future of peace in the Middle East. They discuss the role of the United States in the conflict, pick apart the fraudulence of the Oslo accords, examine the brutal response of the Barak and Sharon governments, and critically appraise the strategy of the Palestinian leadership. In addition, several contributors provide eloquent first-hand reports from the front-line of the intifada—from the streets of Jerusalem and Gaza, to refugee camps in Lebanon and schools on the West Bank. Photographs provide searing testimony to the heroism and costs of the resistance. Maps illustrate the stranglehold Israel continues to exert over the Palestinian territories. The case for an international grassroots movement in support of Palestinian rights is made with urgency and persuasive clarity.“The first time Beit Jala was shelled, people were surprised and wondered what had happened ... now Israel is threatening to blockade the Palestinian areas and prevent us from getting water, electricity, or fuel ... Children are the first victims of all this. No wonder they don’t laugh from their hearts anymore. They’ve lost their childhoods, and their crime is that they are Palestinian.”—Patricia Al-Teet, school student, Beit Jala, the West Bank\u003cb\u003eRoane Carey\u003c\/b\u003e is the Managing Editor of the \u003ci\u003eNation\u003c\/i\u003e, editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New Intifada\u003c\/i\u003e and co-editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Other Israel\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOmar Barghouti\u003c\/b\u003e is a human rights activist, founding member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and the BDS movement, and author of \u003ci\u003eBoycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward W.
