A very personal statement on peace
There is only one solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict – two states for two peoples.

The book sheds light on the labrynthian nature of the negotiations which led to the freeing of Gilad Schlait and the byzantine political forces on all sides that kept a solution at bay for years.
Now, with talks in Israel about the possible failure of negotiations once again, there are renewed utterances about the need to once again engage in unilateralism.
Passionate, engaging. One can almost feel the breath of the characters involved and can imagine as if was going through the scenarios.
The water belongs to all of the people living on the land, and no one has more rights to it than anyone else.
This book walks you down the long road to getting Gilad back, within the ongoing politics and violence going on all around the situation. Here is your chance to walk with him down that murky road. This is one of the Must Read books for your library.
Welcome back, Mr. Secretary. I am quite sure none of the leaders you will meet on this visit to Israel and Palestine will say “thank you,” so I will say it on behalf of all of the people of Israel and Palestine. We need you, even if we find it hard to admit.
This book is a non stop read. I could not put it down. It is a book that belongs in everyone’s library.
It held my interest. It was a detailed history of a very difficult negotiating process. Both sides did well.
What appears to be escalation of Palestinian violence cannot be separated from what appears to be an escalation of Israeli violence against Palestinians during the same time period.
