Language of War, Language of Peace: Palestine, Israel and the Search for Justice |
This book by a distinguished Palestinian who lives in Ramallah eloquently describes the ongoing conflict. This and the author's other book, Palestinian Walks, should be read by anyone interested in the background of this tragedy.

Palestinian Walks - Notes on a vanishing landscape |
These walks around Ramallah, Jerusalem and the ravines by the Dead Sea span 26 years and as you accompany this human rights lawyer on these journeys you experience the transformation from hills of olive groves and orchards to one of Jewish settlements, the Wall and what it means to the displaced Palestinian farmers to lose this 'biblical' land. He understands the damage to ordinary people and is frustrated by his own helplessness when faced with injustice.
