Gaza Nakba 20232024

This book is one of the first edited volumes on the current IsraelPalestine conflictthe Gaza Nakba 20232024. The unique perspectives of Japanese, Palestinian, and Israeli scholars are shared in an understanding of the critical developments in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The authors analyze the current breakdown of humanitarian norms, the dysfunctional state of international organizations, and the breakdown of conflict management and peace-building. Prevailing arguments are challenged here, providing a new framework for understanding the structure of the conflict for solving the problem from the popular level. The book also discloses the harsh reality that human rights in the Global South are often neglected. The purpose of this work is to disclose the significance of the Gaza War as an iconic event that reveals all the contradictions, inequalities, and injustices in a global historical context. This book is essential for anyone who wants a fresh and expert consideration of the Israel-Palestine-Gaza issue, which avoids the often parochial stereotypes that attend it in the West, and which views it through a global lens. Juan Cole, Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History, University of Michigan An important volume that brings to light the colonial, political, legal, and humanitarian meanings of the greatest catastrophe of our time, the genocide of Gaza. Ussama Makdisi, Professor of History and Chancellors Chair, University of California Berkeley This is a refreshing text illuminating how the Palestinian struggle for liberation is viewed from the East Pacific. The text not only properly situates the historical context from before October 7th but also features Japans leading Middle East scholars thus helping to tell a global story from a global perspective.
