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.
