Book Reviews of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Book Review: A real description of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't really understood what the issue between Palestinians and Israelis is until reading this book. I was exposed just to what the American media had to say. After I read this book I realized just how biased the information from the media is. I believe that this book uncovers the real issue on the Palestinian Israeli conflict. It starts with a history of the region and continues with the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land and it describes the injustice towards the Palestinians and the denial of their basic human rights.Book Review: complex issues clearly explained
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easy to read and clearly explains the history and present day situation in Palestine. It is President Carter's assessment, and his ego is evident, but overall this is an interesting book, particularly if you're just starting to learn about this area of the world. I read it in a couple of hours and plan to read it again to pick up more detail. I found especially interesting the internal politics of the countries bordering Palestine.Book Review: The Middle East described and solutions offered
Summary: 4 Stars
The former President Carter describes the history of the major players in the Middle East in relation to israel and offers his solutions to bringing about peace. He is obviously a smart man and this book is concise in its approach to offering solutions with the different players involved. What I enjoyed are some of the small incidents that he experienced on his trips, that I wont reveal here, but offer some interesting humor to this book.Book Review: Palestine: No easy solutions without sincerity and fair play!
Summary: 3 Stars
The book leaves many questions unanswered. The issue is not that simple and even though Carter tried hard, he wasn't able to (or for that matter, no one could) find a resolution to the conflict that has plagued the Middle East for decades. What is required is sincerity, commitment,vision and fair play; unfortunately none of the leaders in the region are willing to embrace these much touted values.Book Review: Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Summary: 5 Stars
Read this book. President Carter is the person we call when the world needs an honest, impartial, compassionate, trustworthy advisor.
The persecution of the people of Palestine by the Israelis is not Apartheid. It's a Holocaust.
God bless you President Carter for your honesty, your compassion, and your courage.
