Back in 2012 I co-edited a book, After Zionism, with Ahmed Moor (it was released in an updated edition in 2013).
Now the magazine at the University of Technology Sydney has published a review (yes, just a little late and on page 17):
Israel is a stark anomaly. There are few… states in the world that are explicitly… designated as the homeland of a single… ethnicity. Founded by Zionists as an… ethnocracy for the Jewish people, Israel… continues to violate liberal principles of… statehood. In recent years, with the evident… failure of the ”˜two-state solution’, Israel and… Palestine have been thrown into a carnival… of reaction, a downward spiral of ethnic… mobilisation. This edited collection asks… how to construct an alternative statehood… in Israel/Palestine, ”˜after’ Zionist ethnonationalism.… The intent of breaking from… the partitioned two-state model forces… questions of bi-nationalism, secularity and… diversity onto the table. Such questions are… repressed by the border – manifested now… as a security wall drawn between Israel… and the Occupied Territories. The status… quo, where the Israeli state disenfranchises… the majority of people under its control,… clearly cannot persist. The importance of… this book rests within the debate about a… single state for Israel and Palestine. With… these tensions being reignited in earnest,… the perspectives in this book, from a wide… range of contributors, are testament to this… important development.
