Trump's Deal of the Century, if adopted, would have ended the Palestinian right to self-determination.

Produktbeschreibung
Trump's Deal of the Century, if adopted, would have ended the Palestinian right to self-determination. Palestinians in Israel are treated as second-class citizens, in the occupied territories - where settlers have free reign - virtually as slaves. The situation of the Palestinians in Gaza is intolerable. Intriguingly, there are compelling options that do respect international law. Arguably, Israel is not acting like a loyal American ally. It did not shy away from an attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. And several sources hint that the Israeli Secret Service may have been involved in 9/11 and in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the US president who in 1963 was embroiled in a bitter conflict with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion over Israel's nuclear weapons programme. For the author, the Zionist project is a dead end. Israel's right to exist is not at all in jeopardy. A state that entertains two legal systems is an apartheid state. An unlivable complex of Israeli-controlled bantustans is not a Palestinian state within the meaning of international law. A binational solution in which Jews and Palestinians join hands is a win for Israel. It may not be a purely Jewish state, but don't most of us live in multi-ethnic and multicultural societies? If things are not headed in that direction, the country will succumb to socio-economic and demographic problems, and/or evidence of Israel's involvement in JFK's assassination will be decisive.

Autorenporträt
Paul Lookman majored in marketing, communication and management. A Dutch national residing in Belgium since 1981, he looks back on an international career that has taken him to more than 60 countries on all continents. His most memorable professional experience is the consumer research project he conducted in newly post-communist Ukraine, in team with the Department of Economics of Dnipropetrovsk State University. The research findings laid the foundation for the local dairy's first market-based business plan and helped cultivate a marketing mentality throughout the firm. In early retirement, Paul took courses in international relations and acted as a lobbyist for Amnesty International. Since 2005 he writes about international politics on Geopolitiek in context. His articles have been republished in international media such as Belgian online magazine De Wereld Morgen, Dutch newspaper NRC, NATO Watch Observatory and Russia in Global Affairs. He has published two printed books in Dutch, the titles of which in English would be The Zionist Project Israel. Ethnically pure, or binational model democracy? and The world after Trump and Merkel. European rivalry, neo-liberalism and the balance of power. The present eBook is an updated and edited digital version of his first printed book.
