"Justice in the question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none
of the Israel-Palestinian conflict's most vexing challenges have been resolved by
judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel's settlement enterprise.
Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel's military offensives
in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord's two-state solution is now dead letter. Justice
for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom,
told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures--from
the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza--Noura Erakat shows how
the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century,
the law has done more to advance Israel's interests than the Palestinians'. But, Erakat
argues, this outcome was never inevitable. Law is politics, and its meaning and application
depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change
is possible. International law can serve the cause of freedom when it is mobilized
in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international
law, Justice for Some calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine"--Provided
