 4 3771 2351\n\nAbout the Book\nNew York Times bestseller\n\n"A profound an
 d original book\, the work of a gifted thinker."--Daphne Merkin\, The Wall
  Street Journal\n\nAttempting to break the agonizing impasse between Israe
 lis and Palestinians\, the Israeli commentator and award-winning author of
  Like Dreamers directly addresses his Palestinian neighbors in this taut a
 nd provocative book\, empathizing with Palestinian suffering and longing f
 or reconciliation as he explores how the conflict looks through Israeli ey
 es.\n\nLetters to My Palestinian Neighbor is one Israeli’s powerful atte
 mpt to reach beyond the wall that separates Israelis and Palestinians and 
 into the hearts of "the enemy." In a series of letters\, Yossi Klein Halev
 i explains what motivated him to leave his native New York in his twenties
  and move to Israel to participate in the drama of the renewal of a Jewish
  homeland\, which he is committed to see succeed as a morally responsible\
 , democratic state in the Middle East.\n\nThis is the first attempt by an 
 Israeli author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe 
 how the conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideolo
 gical and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a centur
 y. In lyrical\, evocative language\, he unravels the complex strands of fa
 ith\, pride\, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel\, using
  history and personal experience as his guide.\n\nHalevi’s letters speak
  not only to his Palestinian neighbor\, but to all concerned global citize
 ns\, helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Pa
 lestinians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.
