A pragmatist but also a poet. This is the book to read to understand the present bizarre and ongoing complexity of the Palestine\/Israel tragedy. And though it is filled with the grim reality of this long and deadly, ugly and dehumanizing, conflict, it also offers hope: that as more people awaken to the shocking reality of what has for decades been going on, we can bring understanding and restitution to the Palestinian people. Their struggle to exist in dignity and peace in their own homeland - and this may be the biggest surprise of Abunimah's book - is mirrored in the struggles for survival and autonomy of more than a few of us.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Alice Walker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is the best book on Palestine in the last decade.
