Beyond occupation : apartheid, colonialism and international law in the occupied Palestinian territories
"This book examines three contentious terms that regularly arise in contemporary arguments about Israel's practices towards Palestinians in the occupied territories - occupation, colonialism and apartheid - and considers whether their meanings in international law truly apply to Israel's policies. The authors present conclusive evidence that Israel's administration of the Palestinian territories is consistent with colonialism and apartheid, as these regimes are defined in human rights law. Their analysis further shows that these practices are deliberate Israeli state policies, imposed on the Palestinian civilian population under military occupation. These findings raise serious implications for the legality and legitimacy of Israel's continuing occupation of the Palestinian territories and the responsibility of the entire international community to challenge practices considered contrary to fundamental values of the international legal order"--P.
