Editorial Reviews
Review
Tanya Reinhart’s informative and chilling analysis could hardly be more timely. It should be read and considered with care, and taken very seriously. (Noam Chomsky )
Product Description
An urgent and searing expose of the "peace process" by a prominent Israeli thinker. The Road Map to Nowhere is a devastating and timely book, essential to understanding the current state of the Israel/Palestine crisis and the propaganda that infects its coverage. Based on analysis of information in the mainstream Israeli media, it argues that the current road map has brought no real progress and that, under cover of diplomatic successes, Israel is using the road map to strengthen its grip on the remaining occupied territories. Exploring the Gaza pullout of 2005, the West Bank wall and the collapse of Israeli democracy, Reinhart examines the gap between myth the Israeli leadership's public affairs achievement that has led the West to believe that a road map is in fact being implementedand bitter reality. Not only has nothing fundamentally changed, she argues, but the Palestinians continue to lose more of their land and are pushed into smaller and smaller enclaves, surrounded by the new wall constructed by Sharon.

A Brilliant and Timely Book,
By Dr Bassam Dally "Bassam" (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Road Map to Nowhere: Israel/Palestine Since 2003 (Paperback)
Tanya Reinhart's detailed account of the tragic Israeli aggression against the Palestinian population is courageous and timely. This thoroughly referenced book is a must for anybody who wants to understand what is really happening in Israel and Palestine. With the Israeli propaganda machine saturating the media with misinformation this book provides an insight on the actions, true intentions and expansionate policies of the current and past Israeli governments.
It also provides further evidence of the role of the US administration in shaping the Israeli policies toward the Palestinians. Reinhart's clarity of thought and reliable sources makes it a compelling read. Highly recommended.

An excellent honest account of the current Israel-Palestine Crisis,
By
This review is from: The Road Map to Nowhere: Israel/Palestine Since 2003 (Paperback)
If you noticed, all the 1 star reviews came from people who seem to have a blind uncritical support for Israel and begin the name-calling on anyone who says anything critical of the Israeli policies toward the Palestinians. Any objective reader who has any working knowledge of international law, United Nations General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, kept up with Israeli and international media (outside America, and the work of human rights organizations knows that what Professor Tanya Reinhart is saying is absolutely true. People outside of the United States for some reason seem to have more of a pulse of what is going on in Israel and the Occupied Territories than most Americans do. Israel has been virtually immune to any sanctions or actions done because of the unflinching and uncritical monetary, military, and diplomatic support of the U.S. All the crimes that Israel has committed if applied to other countries, would have caused military and economic sanctions by the international community. So why the double standard? Tanya Reinhart along with Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein give us the hard to swallow truth about what is going on. If there is to be truly peace in that region we need to look honestly at what Israel has done to the Palestinians and seek to correct that wrong, not support it.

A bold and courageous book,
By Little Red "Left Bank" (Left Blank) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Road Map to Nowhere: Israel/Palestine Since 2003 (Paperback)
Kudos to this author for her complex and timely analysis of the disaster occuring in the Middle-East. If only CNN and Fox News had the same courage in their reporting, we would be a nation better able to understand the comlex issues that we as Americans must now face.

Israel/Palestine in black & white

Self- serving mendacious drivel
There are two kinds of critics. One tries to look at the objective reality, and make criticisms which might be useful, and lead to improvement.

Trash
I could not find anything positive to say about this useless book. Yes, Tanya Reinhart has discovered that Israel actually uses force to defend itself!
