description Beginning with the signing of the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and concluding with Palestines unsuccessful bid for UN statehood and Trumps Jerusalem announcement, Justice for Some explores the role and potential of law in the pursuit of Palestinian freedom (xi). Legal adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Theodor Meron, relayed to then Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol that his proposed establishment of permanent civilian settlements in the West Bank after 1967 would not be in accordance with occupation law under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. For that reason and for its treatment of the question of Palestinian statehood and international law as broadly unexceptional and yet fashioned and refashioned by colonial and settler-colonial powers as a legal anomaly, Justice for Some should be included on undergraduate syllabi, in lecture material, as well as added to graduate reading lists, and put on bookshelves outside academy walls.
