Negative Positive
Title: Bard shows partiality, not objectivity...
Review: I have been working with Palestinian Christians for five years now in their attempts to maintain dignity and a living wage in the face of the Israeli Occupation. This book does a disservice to their plight, painting a picture of pre-Israeli Palestine as a desolate, un-developed land and the Palestinians as unorganized southern Syrians with no sense of attachment to the land. Try telling this to the men and women who harvest olive trees that their ancestors planted 1,000 years ago. Read Munib Younan's book for a better firsthand account of what life is really like for the Arab peoples.
