The Words of My Father by Yousef Bashir
The Words of My Father is a story of coexistence, survival and the unpredictable impacts and consequences of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
"To experience love and humanity on many levels, read this storyBeautifully told by a young man whose voice deserves to be heard - even if the world is not yet ready to listen." - Diana Darke, author of The Merchant of Syria "Yousef Khalil Bashir has written a work of profound spiritual beauty, one of the great memoirs to emerge from this terrible conflict. For Israelis like myself, reading Bashir's story is a deeply wrenching experience. And yet, while I strongly disagree with some of his premises, I found myself feeling grateful to Bashir for his open heart and mind. "The Words of My Father" offers all of us hope that this seemingly intractable conflict can find a solution that is just to both sides."-Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor
