PICTURES OF PALESTINE
A humanitarian blogging from Bethlehem Coherent Visions, 2012 Paperback, 428 pages, illustrated £9.95 |
'Pictures of Palestine' is a glimpse into the real life of Palestinians in the West Bank – a people with a land and no nation, a special people tired of fighting, who seek a brighter future and have surprising lessons to teach the world.
It’s a story of children, shopkeepers and taxi drivers, rabbis, Bedouin and peacemakers, soldiers, politicians and scraggy cats. In the midst of all this, Hope Flowers, a remarkable school and community education centre dedicated to healing the wounds of conflict and rebuilding society. This bundle of impressions and photographs from the author’s blog reveals his own personal journey in the Middle East, and moving insights into Palestine’s current situation and complex history. The book suggests some perceptive solutions to the ongoing struggle and political stalemate, hinting of a time when Arabs and Israelis will sit together wondering why this nightmare ever happened. |
