Negative Positive
Title: The Other Side of Israel
Review: This book by Susan Nathan, a Jewess who lives amongst Palestinians in Tamrah in northern Galilee, is a must read for any person interested in the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian divide. And a divide there certainly is, but one that could so easily be straddled if there were more people such as Ms Nathan in this world.Whilst there may be many who might disagree with her, Ms Nathan's grasp of the Israeli socio-political nettle is honest, courageous,hard-hitting and thought-provoking. A person cannot read this book without being unmoved by the tragedy of the Palestinian-Israeli divide whether Jewish, Muslim,Christian or any faith.The fact that Ms Nathan is a voice from within the divide is highly significant. From her birthplace in Britain, to the sunny shores of South Africa and to the beautiful hills of Galilee, The "Other Side of Israel" is undoubtedly a seminal work of personal conscience.
