 771 2351\n\nAbout the Book\nNew York Times bestseller\n\n"A profound and o
 riginal book\, the work of a gifted thinker."--Daphne Merkin\, The Wall St
 reet Journal\n\nAttempting to break the agonizing impasse between Israelis
  and Palestinians\, the Israeli commentator and award-winning author of Li
 ke Dreamers directly addresses his Palestinian neighbors in this taut and 
 provocative book\, empathizing with Palestinian suffering and longing for 
 reconciliation 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 int
 o the hearts of "the enemy." In a series of letters\, Yossi Klein Halevi e
 xplains what motivated him to leave his native New York in his twenties an
 d move to Israel to participate in the drama of the renewal of a Jewish ho
 meland\, which he is committed to see succeed as a morally responsible\, d
 emocratic state in the Middle East.\n\nThis is the first attempt by an Isr
 aeli author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe how
  the conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideologic
 al and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a century. 
 In lyrical\, evocative language\, he unravels the complex strands of faith
 \, pride\, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel\, using hi
 story and personal experience as his guide.\n\nHalevi’s letters speak no
 t only to his Palestinian neighbor\, but to all concerned global citizens\
 , helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Pales
 tinians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.
