Tanya Reinhart is a professor of linguistics and cultural studies at Tel Aviv University and at the University of Utrecht. She is most well-known academically for her contribution to theoretical linguistics. In 1994, following the Oslo agreements - which she viewed as a painful deception of the Palestinian people - and the preparation of a sophisticated Apartheid regime, she turned to political writing. She has a regular critical column in the biggest Israeli daily, Yediot Aharonot, as well as having published many articles on the Internet and in international forums.
“[An] excellent book.” –Yitzhak Laor, Haaretz (Israel)
“Reinhart accomplishes the formidable task of adding insight to a
subject that is written about endlessly.” –The Nation
“Tanya Reinhart's Israel/Palestine is the most devastating critique
now available of Israel's policy toward the Palestinian people.
Written with urgency and an unflinching clarity, it deserves to be
read by every American who, unknowingly perhaps, has been
subsidizing Israel's 35-yea-old military occupation. Today
Palestinians face either ethnic cleansing or apartheid. Reinhart
compellingly shows why and how both must be opposed.” –Edward W.
Said
“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
“Tanya Reinhart is an Israeli scholar who is known for her works in
linguistics, but also as the author of a biweekly column in the
daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot. Her book demonstrates the hoax
suffered by the Palestinians, sometimes with the complicity of
their own Authority. It also shows that, behind the semantic and
cartographic contortions, the main objective of the Israeli
governments has been to give up as little as possible and to accept
but a truncated Palestinian autonomy. According to her, the
solution is simple: 'In order to initiate true negotiations, Israel
has to withdraw unilaterally' from the occupied Palestinian
territories.” –Le Monde
