Book Description
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is a constant theme on television and in newspapers. The images of heavily armed soldiers facing young Palestinians–like Goliath confronting David–have evoked dismay and consternation. At present the Palestinian people are calling upon the United Nations for recognition of Palestinian statehood. This volume, written by a Reform rabbi and Professor of Judaism, draws on the moral treasures of the Jewish faith in making a case for the creation of a Palestinian state. After nearly a century of bloodshed it is time, he writes, for the empowered to empower those who seek national identity.
