Synopsis: When the state of Israel was formed in 1948, it precipitated the Nakba or 'disaster': the displacement of the Palestine nation, creating fracture-lines which continue to erupt in violent and tragic ways today.In the years that followed, while the Berlin Wall crumbled and South Africa abolished apartheid, the Israeli government rejected every opportunity for reconciliation with Palestine. But Raja Shehadeh, human rights lawyer and Palestine's greatest living writer, suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot work together aspartners on the road to peace, not genocide.In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh perspective for a time of great need.Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) is a registered charity in the UK with charity no. 1045315.A portion of the proceeds* received by Profile Books from this audiobook will be given to the charity for their work for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. This donation has been made possible by the author Raja Shehadeh, Refaat Alareer, Khalid Abdalla and Profile Books.*Proceeds means the cash-price or cash-equivalent price less sales taxes.
