In "The New Intifada," Roane Carey assembles a powerful, comprehensive examination of the Palestinian uprising that erupted in September 2000, marking a pivotal moment in the enduring conflict with Israel. Sparked by Ariel Sharon's contentious visit to the Al-Aqsa holy site, the Palestinian communities across Israel and the Occupied Territories were propelled into an uprising fueled by decades of frustration and a failed peace process. Through the insightful contributions of writers and analysts—many of whom have been intimately involved in the saga—this volume explores the deep roots and the explosive consequences of the intifada. From dissecting the shortcomings of the Oslo accords to scrutinizing the responses of Israeli leadership and the strategic decisions of Palestinian authorities, this collection presents a critical narrative of the struggle. Beyond mere analysis, "The New Intifada" offers a vivid tableau of resistance and resilience, with firsthand accounts from the battle-scarred streets of Jerusalem, the besieged landscapes of Gaza, and the tense atmospheres of West Bank schools and Lebanese refugee camps. Accompanied by striking photographs that capture the spirit and suffering of the Palestinian populace, and detailed maps that expose the tightening grip of Israeli control over Palestinian lands, the book does not shy away from advocating for a global grassroots movement to support Palestinian rights. Carey and his contributors craft a compelling case for understanding the intifada not as isolated eruptions of violence, but as a continuous cry for freedom and justice, echoing across the Middle East and demanding the world's attention.
