This volume provides a historical context for the present escalation of hostilities between Palestinians and the State of Israel. It brings together interdisciplinary chapters written by international specialists in the field of interreligious engagement. It presents Jewish and Palestinian perspectives as well as the South African perspective regarding apartheid, international law, antisemitism, and the suppression of the Palestinian voice in Germany and the USA. It further delves into the historic and ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian experience, and discusses the ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel and supported by the Western powers, particularly the U.S. The volume ultimately offers theological and hermeneutic alternatives to prevailing understandings of the Bible as supporting modern Jewish hegemony in historic Palestine. It's an important read for scholars working in the intersection of religion, politics and power.
