After examining each issue and speaking with Palestinians and Israelis as well as negotiators directly involved in past summits, O'Malley concludes that even if such an agreement could be reached, it would be nearly impossible to implement given a variety of obstacles including the staggering costs involved, Palestine's political disunity and economic fragility, rapidly changing demographics in the region, Israel's continuing political shift to the right, global warming's effect on the water supply, and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this revelatory, hard-hitting book, O'Malley approaches the key issues pragmatically, without ideological bias, to show that we must find new frameworks for reconciliation if there is to be lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48303194669214,"sku":"UBD-9780143129172","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780143129172.jpg?v=1789889455","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780143129172","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
