While supposedly negotiating the end to the Occupation and the emergence of a Palestinian state, Israel has continued to develop a Matrix of Control over the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem through land expropriation, settlement expansion, the construction of exclusively 'Israeli' roads, an economic closure and the creation of controlling "facts" on the ground. The dismantling of the Matrix of Control is the key to achieving a just peace.

current deadlock in political relations (making use of a number
of maps drawn just for this book), as well as outlining a way forward.
It is available for £10 plus £1.80 p&p (second class UK postage;
within the EU/Switzerland, please pay £4.50 postage/packing).
