“The Other Side of Israel: My Journey Across the Jewish-Arab Divide” [Book Review]
Although she arrived in Israel in 1999 as an ardent Zionist, over several years she became more and more interested in discovering the true situation of the Arabs inside Israel, who despite their sizable proportion of the population, seemed all but invisible to her. This led to her decision to move to Tamra, a single Jew in a town of over 25,000 Arabs. This was an unprecedented action in Israeli society. The deep friendships she developed reflect her view that despite the unofficial policy of separation that is actively promoted by the Israeli government, there is true hope of reconciliation and cooperation.

“From Oslo to Iraq and the Road Map: Essays” by Edward W. Said [Recommended]
In his final book, completed just before his death, Edward W. Said offers impassioned pleas for the beleaguered Palestinian cause. These essays, which originally appeared in Cairo’s Al-Ahram Weekly, London’s Al-Hayat, and the London Review of Books, take us from the Oslo Accords through the U.S. led invasion of Iraq, and present information and perspectives too rarely visible in America. Said is unyielding in his call for truth and justice. He insists on truth about Israel’s role as occupier and its treatment of the Palestinians. He pleads for new avenues of communication between progressive elements in Israel and Palestine. And he is equally forceful in his condemnation of Arab failures and the need for real leadership in the Arab world. “These searing essays refract the reality of terrible years through a mind with extraordinary understanding, compassion, insight, and deep knowledge.”—Noam Chomsky.
