Theme: Acknowledgment of the past is the first step into a future where Israel and Palestine are sharing blood, not spilling it.
"For if life had taught her anything, it was that healing and peace can begin only with acknowledgment of wrongs committed."
From Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa
"Mornings in Jenin is a multi-generational story about a Palestinian family. Forcibly removed from the olive-farming village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejos are displaced to live in canvas tents in the Jenin refugee camp. We follow the Abulhejo family as they live through a half-century of violent history."

Thank you for bringing this book to our attention Tim. Especially the theme...it is nice to see something about sharing between Israel and Palestine in the positive for a change. :)

Thanks, Karen. I'm encouraged that authors are focusing on this again.
This would be an interesting book and history, but the history of the violence and hatred is hard to get over.However, a you say at the beginning acknowledgment of this history is the first step in understanding it.
Great review Tim.
Thanks, CoachJim. Much appreciated.
Yet another profound & meaningful review Tim! You seem to be reading a lot of books on this particular issue. It is a topic that affects even the Catholic religion world over, many Catholics are oblivious of this fact. This is especially related to the Catholic interpretation of scripture on a theological level. Hope indeed peace prevails & a meeting ground is sought for by one & all! Happy Reading to you always Tim! Belated birthday greetings to you too! :)
Oh gosh, Fiza, I'm so terribly sorry I missed your comment back in June. I was probably still stuffing my face with cake. Thank you for the birthday greetings and the profound observations.
