Can We Talk About Israel?: A Guide for the Curious, Confused, and Conflicted

This accessible introduction to the complex and controversial Israeli-Palestinian conflict by a leading expert on Israel and the New Israel Fund offers a timely and much-needed answer to the question, “Can’t you explain the Israel situation to me?”

This book explores the country’s history and why people feel strongly about it despite limited understanding. Author Daniel Sokatch grapples with a century-long struggle between the Israelis and the Palestinian peoples who perceive themselves as victims. He explains why Israel inspires extreme feelings, with half the world seeing it as the solution to its problems and the other half as its cause.

Engaging illustrations by Christopher Noxon make this easy-to-read yet penetrating and original look at a subject we should all better understand.
