Beskrivning

Focusing on peacebuilding, this book emphasizes how "grassroots" peacebuilding efforts contribute to closing the gap between the Israeli and Palestinian national communities that have been in conflict for decades. The analysis is undertaken at the individual, pair, and entity levels. The book explores how those involved at each level view the relationship with the other and act to bring about coexistence, a shared society, or peace in a sustained way amid major challenges and an uncertain future. A strong argument is to cultivate and embrace "the habits of peace," mainly wider perspective, long-term view, compassion, dialogue, forgiveness, nonviolence, and reconciliation. An open letter to Palestinians and Israelis concludes the book, urging them to reconsider their ways and imagine a better tomorrow for themselves and future generations.

Recensioner i media

“Saliba Sarsar’s book is a passionate plea for paradigmatic attitudinal transformation, leading Israelis and Palestinians away from violence and toward a habit of peace. The book focuses empirically and theoretically on peacebuilding as a philosophy, strategy, and political program that could improve the conditions of all persons and communities involved in the seemingly intractable Middle Eastern conflict. Given the violent status quo of the region, this book is as realistic as it is humane, as necessary as it is promising.”—Ilan Peleg, Former President, Association for Israel Studies
