A letter to my neighbor and fellow Badger on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
(10/22/18 9:22pm)
This summer I read Yossi Klein Halevi’s book, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor. Each chapter is a letter directly addressed to his Palestinian neighbors, who live in the West Bank adjacent to his hometown in Jerusalem. His work is meant to show how the conflict appears through the eyes of an Israeli. He wrangles with the complex strands of faith, pride and politics that underpin the rift between Israelis and Palestinians.
