“The question Why Israel?’ reflects the Zionist complaint that Israel should not be singled out for criticism. But that question raises further questions. It is the blind attitude of Israel’s leaders, their contempt for the Palestinian’s right to life never mind self-determination, which raises the further question ‘Why Israel in its present form?’ Since the two-state solution is neither fair nor just, and in fact all but dead and gone, why not a one-state solution? If the two-state route is blocked then it is reasonable to ask why not a different destination? That question is increasingly placed on the agenda. So ‘Why Israel?’ in this book rightly becomes a question of ‘Why Israel?’ in its present form.”
