Reviews

The cycle of death and hopelessness in the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian agony, shrouded by a fog of media distortion, has left many confused and numbed. We yearn to hear fresh voices with some clear answers to the vexing questions that torment us. How did things go so awry when, only a few years back, peace seemed so close? What can we do to help end the torment? For anyone who wrestles with these questions, this superb collection is required reading. It is fair and factual and lucid. It cuts through the fog and in doing so sheds light on some hopeful new possibilities for justice and peace in the holy land." Harvey Cox, Professor of Divinity, Harvard Divinity School. "No peace in the middle east without justice, no justice without truth-telling...Fifteen authors - Israeli, Palestinian, U.S., Jewish, Muslim, Christian, secular - confront the irreconcilable facts of Israeli settlements and Palestinian dispossession. A provocative offering which finds hope in forging nonviolent alternatives to the cycle of violence. A must read."The Rt. Rev. Arthur Walmsley, former Episcopal Bishop of Connecticut.
