The new issue of the Journal of Palestine Studies publishes two very useful and important articles this month. The first is a long and rigorous interview with the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Ramadan Abdallah Shallah. This gives a rich insight into Palestinian Islamist politics, and offers a stocktaking of Palestinian resistance from the side of militancy, at once polemical and clear-sighted.
"Israel at a Crossroads - Unable to Vanquish Resistance or Negotiate Peace"
Ian Lustick is one of the most interesting scholars of the Middle East working in America. He holds a professorial chair at the University of Pennsylvania. I became aware of his work through his superb book Unsettled States, Disputed Lands: Britain and Ireland, France and Algeria, Israel and the West Bank-Gaza (1993). More recently, he's written about Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, and about America and the 'war on terror'.
