WHEN Anglo-Palestinian author and activist Ghada Karmi’s deeply compelling and highly informative new book — One State. The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel — was published in 2023, the events of October 7 and its genocidal aftermath had not yet happened.
Yet in the book, Karmi, herself a Palestinian exile who fled her country with her family in 1948, writes in a startlingly prescient way about the likely consequences should Palestinians further resist continued Israeli occupation and oppression.
Envisaging renewed popular uprisings more forceful than those of May 2021, rather than a specifically Hamas-driven act of violence, Karmi posits what Israel would do in response.
