In Imperfect Compromise, Karpin presents an entirely different thesis from that of most books about the Middle East peace settlement: when it comes to the proverbial man or woman on the street, he asserts that both Arabs and Jews prefer a peaceful solution. The question is whether and when the leaders on both sides will be capable of overcoming the fanatical minorities that torpedo each attempt to arrive at any agreement.

Hardback. Condition: New. The Middle East is now in the eye of a storm. But as this storm abates, an opportunity for peace and progress has emerged. In Imperfect Compromise, Michael Karpin, an Israeli broadcast journalist, presents a new thesis about the Middle East peace settlement. He lays out an optimistic forecast: The violent conflict between Arabs and Jews that has had the greatest negative impact on world peace since the end of the Cold War is moving steadily toward resolution. Moreover, since the first Zionists settled on the shore of the Lake of Galilee a hundred years ago, the relations between Arabs and Jews have never been closer to a comprehensive and durable settlement than it is today. Karpin's book refutes the allegedly common knowledge that the Jewish state is right-wing. The opposite is true, he argues. Secular, liberal, and moderate Zionism in Israel is still solid and firm. Settlers and nationalists, who for decades pretended to be the authentic inheritors of Israel's pioneering forefathers, are losing influence while moderates gather strength. Among Palestinians and Israelis alike, the forces opposed to a peace settlement are weakening, public opinion is more open to compromise than the leaders are, and the principles of a final settlement have been developed. These principles need to be adopted, and Karpin demonstrates that there is no better time than the present. Seller Inventory # 0058517

Hardback. Condition: New. The Middle East is now in the eye of a storm. But as this storm abates, an opportunity for peace and progress has emerged. The Egyptian revolution against Hosni Mubarak's regime may usher in an era of relative freedom in the Middle East, notwithstanding Syria's brutal crackdown on its own domestic opposition. Michael Karpin, an Israeli broadcast journalist, argues that the triumph of any nonviolent struggle in the region, no matter how rare, has the potential to increase the desire among Israelis and Palestinians for a peaceful solution to their differences. In Imperfect Compromise, Karpin presents an entirely different thesis from that of most books about the Middle East peace settlement: when it comes to the proverbial man or woman on the street, he asserts that both Arabs and Jews prefer a peaceful solution.
