‘An
intelligent, sensitive writer’--Financial Times
‘Her bold
vision of a single egalitarian state is the only way to break the current log
jam’--Nur Masalha, author of Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History
In 1948, Ghada Karmi and her family in
Jerusalem were among the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were exiled
during the creation of the state of Israel. She has since become one of the
most vocal proponents of the single democratic state in Palestine-Israel.
In this
book, Karmi powerfully argues that a democratic one-state settlement is the
best possible route to a just future for all concerned, including Palestinian
refugees.
Uniting
the land – from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan – and allowing the
Palestinian right of return is the only way to end the exclusive and
antidemocratic character of the Israeli state.
Ghada
Karmi was born in Jerusalem. Forced from her home during the Nakba, she later
trained as a Doctor of Medicine at Bristol University. She established the
first British-Palestinian medical charity in 1972 and was an Associate Fellow
at the Royal Institute for International Affairs. Her previous books include
the best-selling memoir In Search of Fatima.
