For over sixty years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been subjected to many solutions and offered many answers by diverse parties.

Deeply informed by political philosophy and based on decades of personal involvement with politics and social activism, Nusseibeh’s moderate voice—global in its outlook, yet truly grounded in his native city of Jerusalem—points us toward a future which, as George Lamming once put it, is colonized by our acts in this moment, but which must always remain open.

In this book, Sari Nusseibeh synthesizes knowledge gained from a lifetime as a scholar versed in both Western and Islamic political philosophy and as an activist for Palestinian rights and for peace between Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine. Nusseibeh grew up in East Jerusalem, where his aristocratic family has lived since the Islamization of Palestine in the 7th century, when the Nusseibeh clan first pledged allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad. His family is, according to tradition, the custodian of the key to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Nusseibeh has personally experienced many of the seminal events in Israeli/Palestinian history over the past 50 years. He was a leader of the first intifada in 1987, and in 2001, he was appointed as the PLO's representative in Jerusalem, only to be deposed a year later by Yasser Arafat, perhaps for advocating that Palestinians give up their right of return in exchange for a Palestinian state. He has long been considered a Palestinian moderate, willing to meet with Israeli politicians and work with Israeli peace groups. For this he has been alternately praised and reviled; in 1991 he was imprisoned for three months by the Israelis, who accused him of spying for Iraq; in 1987 he was assaulted by Palestinian students after giving a talk at Birzeit University because he had met with a prominent Likud party member (who was, incidentally, expelled from the party for meeting with Nusseibeh).
