"Every community that stands fast, loving its people and its land, its customs and its ways, will be seen, eventually, as worthy of saving. This is because it is our own humanity we are learning from, our own value. There will also arise a special voice to champion us, one that is brave, trustworthy and true.

It is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the current situation of the Palestinians and Israel."--Joseph Massad, Columbia University "With incisive style and scrupulous attention to documenta
