Tears in the Holy Land: Voices from Israel &Palestine

Tears in the Holy Land begins where the nightly news leaves off--putting a human face, one of suffering and determination, on what was once just a headline. In this collection of oral histories based on interviews with Palestinians and Israelis, we hear the voices of those directly affected by the conflict in Israel/Palestine. They speak with a commendable sincerity that reaches out from the pages and demands critical consideration. The question of which side is right and which side is wrong fades into the background as another truth emerges: the cycle of violence must cease for the sake of the personal and economic security of all people in the holy land and the world at large.
