Summary: "A History of False Hope analyzes the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the history of international investigative commission (from the 1919 King-Crane Commission through to the 2009 UN Goldstone Commission) and shows how these commissions function as a liberal device of colonialism, even into the present day. Despite their appearance as mechanisms of equitable legal policy based on fact and fairness, these commissions, and the international law that motivates them, ultimately induce Palestinians to participate in a global governance system that maintains an oppressive hierarchy"-- Provided by publisher.
