Abstract

The war in Gaza has drawn attention to the root causes of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis and the issue of Palestinian refugee property seized by the Israeli state in 1948. In Stolen Nation, Lena El-Malak explores the potential of reparations – particularly property restitution – as a legal mechanism for addressing this injustice and deterring future violations. El-Malak further argues that there has been a shift from a rights-based to a "pragmatic" framework after the Oslo peace process which has failed to provide a just resolution. This book review assesses the strengths and limitations of El-Malak’s arguments, with particular attention to her legal analysis, use of comparative case studies, and relevance to current and future advocacy efforts.
