I went through a serious several-year jag of reading Israel/Palestine issue
books. I read books written by Jews, by Westerners who lived in the midst
of
the conflict for a time, by Palestinian sympathizers, by political gurus
and
secular journalists, all the Arab/Muslim texts Eric mentioned (well, most
of
them). I can't count the number I read. Many out loud w/ my husband.
The
one sure thing I came away with was the certainty that in terms of
cultural
and political clashes there simply is no objective right and wrong, there
simply are no white hats and black hats. There are agendas I support and
actions
I find damnable. But it's all a mixed bag of motives and rights and
beliefs
and and and ......
I'm with you a hundred percent on this one. But weren't you the one who
fairly recently actually posted a few titles in response to a list member
looking for an "objective" look at the Middle East conflict....?
Sincerely, Cassidy Dann
