 71 2351\n\nAbout the Book\nNew York Times bestseller\n\n"A profound and or
 iginal book\, the work of a gifted thinker."--Daphne Merkin\, The Wall Str
 eet Journal\n\nAttempting to break the agonizing impasse between Israelis 
 and Palestinians\, the Israeli commentator and award-winning author of Lik
 e Dreamers directly addresses his Palestinian neighbors in this taut and p
 rovocative book\, empathizing with Palestinian suffering and longing for r
 econciliation as he explores how the conflict looks through Israeli eyes.\
 n\nLetters to My Palestinian Neighbor is one Israeli’s powerful attempt 
 to reach beyond the wall that separates Israelis and Palestinians and into
  the hearts of "the enemy." In a series of letters\, Yossi Klein Halevi ex
 plains 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 hom
 eland\, which he is committed to see succeed as a morally responsible\, de
 mocratic state in the Middle East.\n\nThis is the first attempt by an Isra
 eli author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe how 
 the conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideologica
 l and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a century. I
 n lyrical\, evocative language\, he unravels the complex strands of faith\
 , pride\, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel\, using his
 tory and personal experience as his guide.\n\nHalevi’s letters speak not
  only to his Palestinian neighbor\, but to all concerned global citizens\,
  helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Palest
 inians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.
