Avi Shlaim

Author Avi Shlaim discusses the Israel-Palestine conflict , one of the most bitter, violent, prolonged and intractable conflicts of our time.

Illuminating the fractured history and future prospects for peace in the region, Avi provides the essential history behind the Gaza flotilla attack and the conviction of Saber Kushour for 'rape by deception.'

Shlaim's sensitive and acute rendering of history takes as a central concern the understanding of the existential conflict between two distinct national narratives that runs alongside the political conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
