What Does Israel Fear from Palestine? by Raja Shehadeh
A searing reflection on the failures of Israel to treat Palestine and Palestinians as equals, as partners on the road to peace instead of genocide.
An attempt to understand Israeli actions in Gaza, and a lament that the Palestinian story is still not properly heard.. [Shehadeh's] searching analysis offers insights for readers coming new to the situation and others who wish to face it afresh -- 'Book of the Day' * Guardian *
Elegantly written ... suffused with anger without descending into bitterness * Irish Times *
Praise for Raja Shehadeh: In his moral clarity and baring of the heart, his self-questioning and insistence on focusing on the experience of the individual within the storms of nationalist myth and hubris, Shehadeh recalls writers such as Ghassan Kanafani and Primo Levi * New York Times *
A buoy in a sea of bleakness -- Rachel Kushner
Shehadeh is a great inquiring spirit with a tone that is vivid, ironic, melancholy and wise -- Colm Tóibín
Palestine's greatest prose writer * Observer *
Luminously clear-sighted ... By turns lyrical, witty and shrewd, Shehadeh is an excellent companion * Prospect *
