Summary

"This study deals with one of the most explosive issues in international affairs, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Zionism and the State of Israel examines the use of the Bible as a legitimisation for the implementation of the political programme of Zionism and its consequences. The novel perspective of this study is the moral question of the impact which the Zionist conquest and settlement have had on the indigenous population of Palestine."--Jacket.
