arab-israeli conflict

I have written Voices from Israel: Stories of Conflict and Resolution, Love and Death to give a context to the many extraordinary accomplishments of Israel in the face of great adversity. It's a warts and all commentary on Israel - a country which like all states has its flaws. The battle-hardened people of Israel - Jews, Arabs, Druze and others - are persevering against the Middle East's climate of racism, violence, civil violence and terror. These eight stories depict the prejudice, frustration and heartbreak - tempered with the hope that people experience here. These books correlate well to common core standards that ask students to read stories and literature, as well as more complex texts that provide facts and background knowledge in areas such as science and social studies. Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they've read. This stresses critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that are required for success in college, career, and life.

"Israel and the Arab World, written from an Israeli viewpoint, examines Israel's geopolitical position in the Middle East and the Arab world. The status of many Palestinians as stateless people and refugees is often in the news. This book explains how this tragedy was created and is being perpetuated. The narrative examines Zionist chauvinism, Arab rejectionism, the long and convoluted search for peace, and the history of asymmetric warfare and terror. Israel's relationship with Egypt and Jordan-with whom it has peace treaties-is discussed. The reader will meet some Palestinians, including Palestinian Americans, and will encounter a symbol that evokes co-existence and peace. Parallel to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a war for public opinion. The author encourages each reader to have an open mind and to avoid stereotypes as they seek to unravel the tangled truth. Peace begins in one's heart, and not from government decrees; certainly not from propaganda. It is the hope in this undertaking that we may all merit to contribute to peace and understanding in the global village which is our planet Earth"--Provided by publisher.

One Land, Two States imagines a new vision for Israel and Palestine in a situation where the peace process has failed to deliver an end of conflict. ?If the land cannot be shared by geographical division, and if a one-state solution remains unacceptable,? the book asks, ?can the land be shared in some other way??.

An excellent introduction to the complications of geography, history, and geopolitics that have wounded and weakened both Israelis and Palestinians. But above all, this book challenges us to love - and to love correctly.
