Product Description

Review

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

Measured, lawyerly but always very readable… As the book comes to a close, as if summoning a last reserve of strength, [Shehadeh] manages a message of hope. Perhaps, he writes, the utter nightmarishness of the past few months may achieve what decades of war and negotiation have failed to resolve: a lasting peace ― Observer

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

Book Description

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.
