After Lebanon: The Israeli-Palestinian Connection, edited by Hillel Schenker of the magazine New Outlook, was assembled in the aftermath of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the massacre at Sabra and Shatila. It collects essays, interviews and documents from Israeli dissidents, Palestinians and international observers reacting to the war.

The contributors examine the aims and consequences of the invasion, the protests it provoked inside Israel, and what it revealed about the centrality of the Palestinian question. Many argue that there could be no peace without recognition of Palestinian national rights. The book is a historical record of the debates sparked by the war and of early calls for Israeli–Palestinian dialogue.
