What Does Israel Fear from Palestine?
FROM THE ORWELL PRIZE-WINNER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTA TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 'Palestine's greatest prose writer' Observer'A valuable read. As well as talking through the history, Shehadeh is reaching out to Israelis and searching for some kind of dialogue' Armando Iannucci When the state of Israel was formed in 1948, it precipitated the Nakba or 'disaster': the displacement of the Palestine nation, creating fracture-lines which continue to erupt in violent and tragic ways today. In the years that followed, while the Berlin Wall crumbled and South Africa abolished apartheid, the Israeli government rejected every opportunity for reconciliation with Palestine. But Raja Shehadeh, a human rights lawyer and Palestine's greatest living writer, suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot work together as partners on the road to peace, not genocide. In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh perspective in a time of great need.'Powerful' New Statesman'A buoy in the sea of bleakness' Rachel Kushner, author of Creation Lake'Shehadeh is a great inquiring spirit with a tone that is vivid, ironic, melancholy and wise' Colm Toibin, author of The Magician

Israil Neden Filistinden Korkuyor
1994te Güney Afrikada apartheid rejimi, icerideki direnis ve disaridaki küresel baskiyla sona erdi. Peki 1993te baslayan Oslo süreci neden barisla sonuclanmadiIsrail, baris görüsmelerinden hemen sonra isgal altindaki Filistin topraklarinda yerlesim insasini hizlandirdi. Uluslararasi hukuk sistemini, kavramlari ve diplomasiyi kendi lehine yeniden tanimladi. Bu hukuksuzlugu izleyen dünya ise tipki bugün Gazzedeki vahsete sessiz kaldigi gibi olan biteni görmezden geldi.Bir avukat ve aktivist, daha da önemlisi Filistinde yasanan göc ve sürgünlerin sahidi ve tanigi olan Raja Shehadeh, 1948 nekbesinden bu yana siddeti artan isgal ve soykirimin karmasik tarihini yalin bir denemede gözler önüne seriyor. Shehadeh, bir yandan Israilin her türlü baris imkanini nasil baltaladigini ortaya koyarken, diger yandan neden Filistinin silahindan degil hafizasindan, örgütünden degil sebatindan, diplomasisinden degil israrindan korktugunu anlatiyor.Israil Neden Filistinden Korkuyor modern zamanlarin en uzun süreli adaletsizliginin, isgalin hukuki kiliflarinin, diplomatik ikiyüzlülüklerin ve en önemlisi, Filistin halkinin essiz direnisinin dokunakli, keskin bir degerlendirmesi.

Strangers in the House
Discover the Classic Coming-of-Age Memoir that Captures the Palestinian Experience for Members of every Generation since the 1948 Nakba "Unusually honest, beautifully written." -- New York Times Book Review ** With a New Afterword by the Author ** In this new edition of his groundbreaking memoir, Palestinian lawyer and human rights activist Raja Shehadeh offers a moving description of the daily lives of those who have been determined to remain on Palestinian land under Israeli occupation and refusing to relent in the face of efforts to drive them out by making their lives unbearable. Growing up "in the shadow of home" in the rural hills of the West Bank, he was introduced early to political conflict. He witnessed the numerous arrests of his father, Aziz Shehadeh, who, in 1967, was the first Palestinian to advocate a peaceful, 2-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He predicted that if peace were not acheived, what remained of the Palestinian homeland would be taken away, bit by bit, through Israeli settlement. Ostracized by his fellow Arabs and disillusioned by the failure of either side to recognize his prophetic vision, Aziz retreated from politics. He was murdered in 1985. Strangers in the House is also the family drama of a difficult relationship between an idealistic son and his politically active father complicated by the arbitrary humiliation of the "occupier's law." A new Afterword provides an update on the investigation into his father's murder, a history that reflects continued official Israeli efforts to dehumanize Palestinians and to extinguish, once and for all, the possibility of a 2-state solution.

Forgotten
A profound meditation on memory and the preservation of Palestinian heritage, from the award-winning author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I.Forgotten uncovers the hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine—now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories—and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on the small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.From ancient city ruins to the Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialized, and what lies unseen, abandoned, or erased—and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land.In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba—the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians—but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.

Was befürchtet Israel von Palästina?
Eine erschütternde Reflexion über das Versagen der Konfliktparteien im Nahost-Konflikt, einander als Gleichberechtigte zu behandeln, als Partner auf dem Weg zum Frieden, anstatt als Feinde und Völkermörder.Die Gründung des Staates Israel im Jahr 1948 löste die Nakba (arab. "Katastrophe") aus: die Vertreibung des palästinensischen Volkes, die Bruchlinien schuf, welche bis heute auf gewaltsame und tragische Weise fortbestehen. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten, während die Berliner Mauer fiel und Südafrika die Apartheid abschaffte, lehnten die israelische Regierung und die PLO jede Gelegenheit zur Aussöhnung ab. Raja Shehadeh, Menschenrechtsanwalt und Palästinas größter lebender Schriftsteller, zeigt auf, dass dies trotzdem nicht bedeutet, dass die beiden Nationen nicht als Partner auf dem Weg zum Frieden zusammenarbeiten können. Im Gegenteil: Wenn dieser Konflikt nicht im gegenseitigen Völkermord enden soll, müssen sie zusammenarbeiten, gegen die Extremisten auf beiden Seiten.Dieses Buch ist in zwei Abschnitte unterteilt: Der erste, "Wie sind wir an diesen Punkt gekommen?", ist die überarbeitete Fassung eines Vortrags, den Shehadeh 2016 auf einer Friedenskonferenz in Kyoto hielt; der zweite, "Der Krieg in Gaza, 2023-2024", beschreibt in schrecklichen, anatomischen Details die Schrecken des Lebens in Gaza, wobei der Ton des Autors zwischen Wut und Verzweiflung schwankt.In seinem anmutigem, erschütternd beobachtendem Stil ist dieses Werk eine neue Perspektive in einer Zeit großer Not.

When The Bulbul Stopped Singing
'Palestine's greatest prose writer' Observer'Shehadeh is a great inquiring spirit with a tone that is vivid, ironic, melancholy and wise' Colm TóibínBattered by repeated suicide bombs, the Israeli army invaded Palestine in April 2002 and held many of the principal towns, including Ramallah, under siege. A tank stood at the end of Raja Shehadeh's road; there were Israeli soldiers on the rooftops; his mother was sick, and he couldn't cross town to help her.Shehadeh - winner of the 2008 Orwell Prize and a finalist for the 2023 National Book Awards - kept a diary. This is an account of what it is like to be under siege: the terror, the frustrations, as well as the moments of poignant relief and reflection on the profound crisis gripping both Palestine and Israel.

What Does Israel Fear from Palestine?
"A poignant, incisive meditation on Israel's longstanding rejection of peace, and what the war on Gaza means for Palestinian and Israeli futures. When apartheid in South Africa ended in 1994, dismantled by internal activism and global pressure, why did Israel continue to pursue its own apartheid policies against Palestinians? In keeping with a history of antagonism, the Israeli state accelerated the establishment of settlements in the Occupied Territories as extreme right-wing voices gained prominence in government, with comparatively little international backlash. Condensing this complex history into a lucid essay, Raja Shehadeh examines the many lost opportunities to promote a lasting peace and equality between Israelis and Palestinians. Since the creation of Israel in 1948, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or catastrophe, each side's perception of events has strongly diverged. What can this discrepancy tell us about Israel's undermining of a two-state solution? And will the current genocide in Gaza finally mark a shift in the world's response? With graceful, haunting prose, Shehadeh offers insights into a defining conflict that could yet be resolved"--

A Rift in Time
"An engrossing family memoir that shines a light on Palestine's history, offering a sober yet hopeful view of its people's struggles for freedom, from the award-winning author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I. The quest for his great-uncle Najib Nassar, an Ottoman journalist-the details of his life, and the route of his great escape from occupied Palestine-consumed award-winning writer Raja Shehadeh for 2 years. As he traces Najib's footsteps, he discovers that today it would be impossible to flee the cage that Palestine has become. A Rift in Time is a family memoir written in luminescent prose, but it is also a reflection on how Palestine-in particular the disputed Jordan Rift Valley-has been transformed. Most of Palestine's history and that of its people is buried deep in the ground: whole villages have disappeared, and names have been erased from the map. Yet by seeing the bigger picture of the landscape and the unending struggle for freedom as Shehadeh does, it is still possible to look towards a better future, free from Israeli or Ottoman oppression"--

We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I
Finalist for the National Book Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize An NPR Best Book of the Year A subtle psychological portrait of the author's relationship with his father during the twentieth-century battle for Palestinian human rights. Aziz Shehadeh was many things: lawyer, activist, and political detainee, he was also the father of bestselling author and activist Raja. In this new and searingly personal memoir, Raja Shehadeh unpicks the snags and complexities of their relationship. A vocal and fearless opponent, Aziz resists under the British mandatory period, then under Jordan, and, finally, under Israel. As a young man, Raja fails to recognize his father's courage and, in turn, his father does not appreciate Raja's own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. When Aziz is murdered in 1985, it changes Raja irrevocably. This is not only the story of the battle against the various oppressors of the Palestinians, but a moving portrait of a particular father and son relationship.
