The pioneering autobiographical story of a British Zionist in her fifties who moves to Israel and chooses to live among 25,000 Muslims in the all-Arab Israeli town of Tamra, a few miles from Nazareth. Susan Nathans revelatory book about her new life across the ethnic divide in Israel is already creating international interest. At a time when Middle Eastern politics (in many ways central to the current world disorder) have become mired in endless tit-for-tat killings, Susan Nathan is showing by her own daily example that it is perfectly possible for Jews and Arabs to live peacefully together in a single community, recognising their common humanity. The authors familiarity with the former injustices of apartheid South Africa enables her to draw telling comparisons with the state of Israel. The increasing segregation of, and discrimintation against, the million-strong Arabic population of Israel is something she witnesses at first hand, but in describing her experiences in Tamra she is as observant of Arab frailties as of Jewish oppression. Written with warmth, compassion and humour, The Other Side of Israel is one courageous womans positive life-enhancing response to a situation in which entrenched attitudes lead only to more violence and bloodshed.

Recensioner i media

The Other Side of Israel is a deeply troubling book. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand the reality of life for the Arab citizens of Israel. Susan Nathan's story bears witness to the shameful discrimination routinely practiced against them by the Israeli authorities. Her experience transforms her from an ardent Zionist into an eloquent but sorrowful critic of the state she had previously revered. Her account is the more telling because she writes with just as much warmth about her Jewish friends as she displays towards the Palestinians who befriend her. This important book not only has the ring of truth about it but an aura of hope as well. Jonathan Dimbleby Extraordinary observation, sensitivity and insight. Jon Snow, Guardian The Other Side of Israel could not be more timelyIt deserves wide attention as a profoundly human story, thoughtful and funny and unafraid. Times Literary Supplement Eye-opening. Sunday Times This is a powerful, readable and courageous book. Tablet
