Izhak Schnell and Daniel Bar-Tal
Daniel Bar-Tal is Branco Weiss Professor of Research in Child
Development and Education in the School of Education at Tel Aviv
University. His research in political and social psychology focuses
on the socio-psychological foundations of intractable conflicts and
peacemaking. Bar-Tal has published twenty books and over two
hundred book chapters and articles that have appeared in major
social and political psychology journals. He has served as
President of the International Society of Political Psychology
(ISPP) and received various prizes for his work, including ISPP's
Harold Lasswell Award, given for distinguished scientific
contributions in the field of
political psychology, and ISPP's Nevitt Sanford Award, recognizing
the practical application of political psychological principles and
the creation of knowledge used by practitioners to make a positive
difference in the way in which politics is carried out.
Izhak Schnell is Professor in the Department of Geography and Human
Environment at Tel Aviv University. His work focuses on
understanding the transitions caused by Arab urbanization, as well
as Arab industrial entrepreneurship. Schnell's current research
analyzes the structure of social space in a globalized world. He
developed novel models to understand socio-spatial lifestyles,
segregation, and community in globalizing spaces. He has written
eight books, edited eleven books
and journal issues, and written over one hundred articles in
prestigious journals in geography and science. Schnell has also
organized eight major conferences, including the meeting of the
International Association of
Geographers in 2010.
"The text is often highly technical, but even if the lay reader
finds some passages a bit challenging, those passages reward the
reader with detailed information and in-depth analysis that are
mostly missing from media coverage. Indeed, it is not too much to
say that anyone who holds an opinion on the occupation, one way or
the other, ought to read The Impacts of Lasting Occupation, to test
his or her own opinions." -- Jonathan Kirsch, JewishJournal.com
"This is an ambitious assessment of the detrimental effects on
Israel of its 45-year occupation of Palestinian territories. In his
foreword, Michael Walzer appropriately calls the book's 24
contributors 'enemies of the occupation' for their harshly critical
analysis of the blowback of Israeli rule on all aspects of the
country's public life. The contributors make a strong case that
ending the occupation is in Israel's self-interest. This profoundly
thoughtful
book is must reading for scholars, politicians, diplomats, and
readers seeking peace. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All
readership levels." --R. H. Dekmejian, CHOICE
"It should have become obvious that we are not dealing here with a
pro-Palestinian or for that matter anti-Israeli publication, but
with a strictly academic yet fully committed attempt at opening the
eyes of the Israeli citizens to the negative implications of the
lasting occupation for themselves. We may argue that this
contradiction between ethnic nationalism, religious fundamentalism
and democratic secular humanism had by that time already been
exposed as a
result of the Nakba, the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians between 1947 and 1949, but this does not in the least
diminish the pertinence nor the urgency of the present
compelling
study." --Ludo Abicht, Politics, Culture and Socialization
"This recently published book is part of the Series in Political
Psychology. The multi-dimensional study presents an original
conceptual framework that focuses on the impact of protracted
occupation on the occupying society. It provides a systematic and
comprehensive analysis of the influence of ongoing occupation of
the Palestinian Territories on political, social, economic,
cultural and psychological aspects of life of the Israelis. Leading
Israeli scholars
address the fundamentals of occupation as well as its political,
societal and cultural effects. This innovative study presents the
extent of social and political deterioration of the occupying
society
on Israel society." --Palestine-Israel Journal of Politics,
Economics, and Culture

"Nevertheless, the book's innovation is not in its answer to the
question, How does the occupation affect society? The answer may be
summarized in two words that have long since become a cliché:
Occupation corrupts. Instead, the uniqueness and importance of the
collection lies in the broad, extensive description of the "how":
how corruption takes place and how it affects almost every aspect
of the life and identity of the occupying society, to the
extent
of transforming it into a new Israeli identity. This important
book, as well as the political reality reflected in Jerusalem's
election campaign, should serve as an additional warning sign for
those Israelis
who, like most of the experts who contributed to the book, want to
preserve Israel's democratic and moral identity along with its
Jewish and liberal values." --Al-Monitor
