Koplow "One of the many tragedies of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that because both sides too often see it as a zero-sum battle, each traps itself into corners that become self-containing prisons.

This ever-present dynamic is currently playing out in different ways for both Israel and the Palestinians ..."
