Because of recent changes in the explicitly declared goals of Arabs in the Palestinian conflict, this book is of singular importance, and no scholar or expert on Middle East affairs can afford to ignore it.This work, by a scholar described as "the doyen of Israeli Arabists," is the result of vast research into the attitude of the Arabs toward Israel, manifested both in their declared, explicit aims and in ideological exegeses on the roots of the Palestinian problem. Approximately one hundred twenty books written by Arabs and the Arab press and radio are herein analyzed. Harkabi's searching examination is objective. His detection of consistent patterns in what at first seems amorphous is convincing. If there is such a thing as a science of political psychology, Harkabi is its master.

By all accounts this time marks a fateful aiming point in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Palestinians and Israel gives a wide-ranging and penetrating analysis of the motivation ind aims of the protagonists to the Middle East struggles, with special reference to the Palestinians.  The book consists of a series of chapters written over a period spanning the Six Day and Yom Kippur wars. Chapters deal with Zionism, Arab "anti-Semitism," and Arab psychology in military conflict; the text identifies a variety of "Palestinians" and their interests, describes the nature of the apparent and real demands of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its affiliates, and discusses their problems. Harkabi details the obstacles to peace, analyzes the effects of the Yom Kippur War and Egypt's apparent acceptance of a peaceful solution, and emphasizes that the Arab states nearest the conflict are forced to perpetuate it by the influence of those outside the arena.
