'A beautiful and stirring book, revealing that heroism continues to
inform lives even in our unherioc time'
*Science & Society*
'Michel Warschawski is a non-Jewish Jew, a non-Zionist Israeli and
a non-Arab Palestinian: an embodiment of trans-border loyalty to
the higher values of human solidarity'
*Gilbert Achcar, author of The Clash of Barbarisms and Eastern
Cauldron*
'A powerful voice that deserves to be heard in this country'
*Rashid Khalidi, author of Palestinian Identity: The Construction
of Modern National Consciousness *
'This is the most important book on Israel that will be published
this year, or, I dare say, for many years to come'
*Daniel Boyarin, Taubmann Professor of Talmudic Culture, University
of California at Berkeley*
'Equal parts theory, memoir and post-Zionist historiography, this
monumental piece of writing on Israel is destined to become a
classic in the literature of the Arab-Israeli conflict'
*Joel Schalit, author, Jerusalem Calling*
'Not only is On the Border a page-turner, it's also essential
reading for anyone working for peace and justice in the Middle
East'
*Liat Weingart, Co-Director Jewish Voice for Peace*
