The Roadmap Ripped Up: Lessons from Gaza in the Second Intifada
Rodgers, J. (2013). The Roadmap Ripped Up: Lessons from Gaza in the Second Intifada. Mediterranean Quarterly, 24(3), pp. 20-34. doi: 10.1215/10474552-2339444
Abstract
Drawing on the author's time as the BBC's correspondent in Gaza from 2002 to 2004, this essay offers a way of understanding more fully the situation in Gaza in 2013, after the recent elections in the United States and Israel and following the Arab uprisings. The core argument is that any future analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must give greater weight to issues of faith and to the idea that land is not simply a commodity but something to which there is a strong, historical, almost spiritual connection. The essay makes the case that recent events in the Middle East make these issues increasingly important.
