Newspaper Article
Palestine played out
1996
Overview
One would hardly want to accuse Edward Said of being a demagogue or even a politician, but his voice is one that certainly deserves to be heard by more people; and as the Arab-Israeli Conflict nears its 50th year, any sane, reasonable person who cares about what is happening in the world - in our world - should pay attention to what this Palestinian exile has to say in his latest book on behalf of his nation and its rightful cause in the face of five decades of dispossession and oppression at the hands of an occupying power. Peace and Its Discontents is a collection of articles that appeared in various weeklies and dailies in the Arab world and the West over a period of two years from September 1993, which saw the announcement and signing of the United States-sponsored Oslo Declaration between the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the Israeli Government, which we were expected to believe was to usher in an era of peace between Israel and her Arab neighbours. The central theme running through all the 21 articles and the transcript of an interview between an Egyptian journalist and the author is that the Oslo Declaration, far from being an instrument of peace, was an instrument of capitulation in which Yasser Arafat signed away the demands of the Palestinian people for a just resolution to the dispossession of their lands and the usurpation of their right to a state in their homeland by a brutal occupying power.
