In this important article, Prof. Michael Walzer re-frames the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict into four simultaneous and continuous wars: the Palestinian war to destroy Israel, the Palestinian war for an independent state that will end Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the Israeli war for the security of Israel, and the Israeli war for Greater Israel, including the settlements. Analyzing the goals, means and people behind each of these wars, he presents a nuanced, complex view of the conflict. A prominent American political theorist and intellectual, Walzer is a Professor Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, co-editor of “Dissent” magazine, and a prolific writer in many fields, including political ethics, philosophy, Zionism, and social criticism.
