'Written with the fire, passion, anger and intelligence of the committed scholar, Arab-Jewish Activism in Israel-Palestine is an important contribution to the ongoing debate concerning the nature and status of Israel's occupation of Palestine.

A must read for anyone concerned about the future of Israel and Palestine.' Ilan Pappe, University of Exeter, UK
