This historical and political analysis of the Arab-Israeli conflict combines the unique perspectives of two prominent segments of the Middle Eastern puzzle: Israeli Jews and the Palestinian citizens of Israel. Written jointly by an Israeli anthropologist and a Palestinian family therapist born weeks apart to two families from Haifa, the book merges the personal and the political as it explores the various stages of the conflict, from the 1920s to the present. The text weaves vivid accounts and vignettes of family history into a multidisciplinary analysis of the political drama that continues to unfold in the Middle East. The book offers an authoritative inquiry into the traumatic events of October 2000, when thirteen Palestinian citizens of Israel were killed by Israeli police during political demonstrations, and culminates in a blueprint for reform
