Jonathan Cook (born 1965) is an English writer and freelance journalist based in Nazareth, Israel.[1] He has written about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for a number of newspapers, including The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, Al-Ahram Weekly, Al Jazeera, and The National, and is the author of three books on the subject: Blood and Religion (2006), Israel and the Clash of Civilizations (2008), and Disappearing Palestine (2008).
Background
Cook was born and raised in Buckinghamshire, England. He received a B.A. (Hons) in Philosophy and Politics from Southampton University in 1987, a postgraduate diploma in journalism from Cardiff University in 1989, and an M.A. in Middle Eastern studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies in 2000.[2]
Career
Cook worked as a reporter and editor with regional newspapers from 1988 until 1994, a freelance sub-editor with several national newspapers from 1994 until 1996, and worked on staff for The Guardian and The Observer from 1996 until 2001.[2] He continued to write columns for The Guardian until 2007.[3]
Since September 2001, he has been a freelance writer based in Nazareth, Israel, publishing articles in The International Herald Tribune, Le Monde Diplomatique, and Al-Ahram Weekly, among others.[4]
In the New Statesman, Neil Berry describes Cook as a writer of forensic rigour, a "maverick" journalist who has chosen to immerse himself in the culture that he writes about. Berry writes that Cook, "exemplifies to an extreme degree the belief that when it comes to the Middle East, westerners of conscience are bound to be engaged with the Palestine/Israel conflict above all else. He regards Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as a monstrous injustice that must be resolved if stability is ever to be brought to the Middle East."[5]
Books
In Blood and Religion (2006), Cook argues that Israel's recent treatment of its Palestinian citizens, also known as Arab citizens of Israel, has exposed a contradiction between the state's Jewish and democratic values. The book focuses on Israel's response to a campaign for "a state of all its citizens" begun in the late 1990s. Israel's leadership said this demand showed the Israeli Arabs were a fifth column, and were conspiring with Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority to overthrow the Jewish state, according to Cook. Cook also writes that demographic pressures on the Jewish state posed by the higher birth rate of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in Israel led the Israeli government to consider drastic policy changes, including the Gaza disengagement and building the West Bank barrier.
In 2008, Cook had two books published, Israel and the Clash of Civilizations: Iraq, Iran and the plan to remake the Middle East, [6] and Disappearing Palestine: Israel's Experiments in Human Despair.[7] The second book is in two parts. The first half contains Cook's thesis, according to a review in Electronic Intifada, that the goal of Israeli policy is to make Palestine and the Palestinians disappear for good."[8] The second half consists of reprints of articles written by Cook.[8]
