Abstract
Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State (2021), focuses on proposing an innovative perspective to a phenomenon entrenched in zero-sum reasoning, which has demolished the conditions for a two-state solution. Accordingly, Jeff Halper, supported by the 10 points of the One Democratic State Campaign, sets out to present a plan to advance the project of building a single state for all its inhabitants in Palestine/Israel by dismantling the settler colonial regime that from his perspective dominates the political, social and economic relations of both societies.
