| 520 ^aJustice in the question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none of the Israel-Palestinian conflict's most vexing challenges have been resolved by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel's settlement enterprise. Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel's military offensives in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord's two-state solution is now dead letter. [This book] offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures―from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza―[the author] shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over thepast century, the law has done more to advance Israel's interests than the Palestinians'. But, [the author] argues, this outcome was never in evitable. Law is politics, and its meaning and application depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change is possible. International law can serve the causeof freedom when it is mobilized in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international law, [this book] calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine.
