Our Sacred Land by Kenize Mourad
A powerful, shocking and profoundly moving collection of testimonies from Palestinians, Israelis, Christians and volunteer workers, each telling their own stories about life in the disputed territories. The accounts come not only from adults, but also from Arab and Jewish children. The picture painted is of two peoples who live alike in terror, blaming each other for the continuation of the conflict, but the book is also a heartfelt cry for peace, a peace that acknowledges injustice and offers dignity to all.
"Behind daily violence and political rhetoric, there are the human beings both Palestinian and IsraeliKenize Mourad has brought their voices onto the printed page, giving us a rare and moving insight into the minds and souls of the victims on both sides. If those voices could be heard by enough people what now seems impossible might become possible for the long suffering people of Israel and Palestine." - Howard Zinn, author of You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train "A book of hope that reconciles us with humanity." - Marie-Claire "The pages of this book drag us out of our dangerous apathy and call for the rebirth of hope even from the depths of the darkest despair." - Le Monde Diplomatique
Kenize Mourad has spent most of her professional career at the Frence political magazine, Le Nouvel Observateur, for whom she covered the Iranian revolutions and the Lebanese civil war.
