An examination of the failure of the United States as a broker in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, through three key historical moments. Rashid Khalidi analyzes the “Reagan Plan” of 1982, the 1991–1993 period covering the Madrid Peace Conference to the signing of the Oslo Accords, and President Obama’s retreat from his initially firm positions on the preconditions for a resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. These moments reveal how the United States and Israel have colluded to prevent the emergence of a viable Palestinian state and preserve a status quo favorable to Israel. The book shows why peace in the Middle East has been impossible to achieve: U.S. policymakers have masqueraded as an unbiased mediator working to bring the two sides together but have been brokers of continuing injustice, actively preventing the compromises needed to achieve a just and lasting peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
