The feel-good place to buy books
Children of Israel, Children of Palestine by Laurel Holliday
Isreali Jews and Palestinians appear side by side for the first time in this remarkable book, to share powerful feelings and reflections on growing up in one of the world's longest and most dangerous conflicts. Thirty-six men and women, boys and girls, tell of their coming-of-age in a land of turmoil. Musil Jamil Jaffer writes of his devastating childhood in a refugee camp, Shammai Golan describes his own horrifying and painful encounter with death in the Israeli army and Basim Abdoraad tells what he feels like to be a man without a country as he searches for his Palestinian roots and finds he has no home to which he can return. From kibbutzim in Israel and the occupied territories to Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and the Gaza strip, from the Old City of Jerusalem to Ramallah in modern Tel Aviv, Israeli Jews and Palestinians tell of tragedy and transcendence as they face their deepest fears and dream of a peaceful future.
