"The UN and the Israel-Palestinian conflict are thus deeply intertwined, and Daniela Huber does an excellent job at demonstrating and analyzing how the issue has been treated at the UN; how this treatment has developed over time; and how a variety of UN members have addressed the issue at the UN … There is much to be learned from Huber's excellent account for readers interested in the UN, Israel/Palestine, or both." — Journal of Peace Research"This is an important critical analysis of the conflict, anchoring it in grounded theory and critical discourse analysis to explain its perpetuation … Highly recommended." — CHOICE"This meticulously researched, must-read book historicizes how the US-led 'peace process' script came to dominate, necessarily at the expense of Palestinian rights and international law. It also offers hope that in the age of Trump, Israeli overreach, and global civil rights struggles, new discursive battles in and outside the UN can reframe the very meaning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. A new, international performance based on rights and law is desperately needed." — Karim Makdisi, The American University of Beirut"This book—scholarly, insightful, incisive—tells us much about the important regional and international actors whose policies, alliances, orthodoxies, and blinders have so decisively shaped the course of the Israel-Palestinian conflict." — Michael Lynk, Western University in London, Ontario"The book promises to deliver a post-Eurocentric approach to the study of the Palestine/Israel question and does so extremely well. It includes very original research which has so far been missing from the existing literature." — Dimitris Bouris, University of Amsterdam
